EXTENSIONS OF NONCONFORMING USE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED.

The Second Department determined the extension of a nonconforming use by the construction of decks, a gazebo, awning and detached shed should not have been permitted by the board of zoning appeals (BZA):

… [T]he Surf Club's erection of the decks, the awning, the gazebo, and the detached shed on its premises, and the completion of certain alterations to its clubhouse, constituted an impermissible extension of that nonconforming use, not a mere increase in volume or intensity of the same nonconforming use … . As such, the BZA's determination to grant the Surf Club's application for an extension of nonconforming use violated Code of Town of Brookhaven § 85-883(A)(2), which prohibits the extension of nonconforming uses. Accordingly, the portion of the BZA's determination which granted the Surf Club's application for an extension of nonconforming use was arbitrary and capricious and should have been annulled by the Supreme Court. Matter of Martinos v Board of Zoning Appeals of Town of Brookhaven, 2016 NY Slip Op 02828, 2nd Dept 4-13-16
