RESOLUTION #10.22.20.2
Certificate of Appropriateness
RE: 95 Navy Street,Orient,NY SCTM# 1000-26.4-12.2
Owner: Vincent Bertault
RESOLUTION:
WHEREAS, 95 Navy Street, Orient,NY is on the Town of Southold Registry of
Historic Landmarks, and building lies within the designated Orient
Historic District according to the National Register of Historic Places and
the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
WHEREAS, as set forth in Section 170-8 of the Town Code( Landmarks Preservation
Code) of the Town of Southold, all proposals for material
change/alteration must be reviewed and granted a Certificate of
Appropriateness by the Southold Town Historic Preservation Commission
prior to the issuance of a Building Permit, and,
WHEREAS, the applicants representative Gary R. O'Connor submitted a proposal to
construct a rear addition to the structure, replace the windows, doors
siding and roof on the entire structure, the reconfiguration of the front
entry, conversion of an existing shed to a cabana and installation of a
covered porch, and,
WHEREAS, a pre submission hearing was held on August 18, 2020, where the
applicants representative submitted drawings of the scope of work and
outlined the project for the commission, and,
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on October 22,2020, where the applicants
representative submitted the final proposal of the project for the commission,
and,
WHEREAS, the property is currently in use as single family home and under the
proposed plan that single family use remains. Therefore, the analysis of
whether the proposed alteration is consistent with principles of adaptive
reuse, whereby the principal historic features of the landmark are
maintained while permitting the use of the landmark for new uses other
than its original use is not applicable to this proposal.
WHEREAS, the Historic Preservation Commission considered similarity in design,
architecture and appearance of the proposed alteration with the
historic design, architecture and appearance of both the original structure
and those in the surrounding historic district and determines as follows:
1. The proposed alteration will significantly change the appearance of the Navy
Street facade since the front door and steps leading to the porch will be
centered under the large dormer, The proposed 1-story addition facing to the
rear of the Structure, composed of a summer/dining room (15'-8" long x 14'
deep) rising 19' in height from the first floor elevation to the ridge, is in fact
equivalent to a two-story house. Also proposed is a rectangular cupola adding
another 3'-11" to the overall height of the structure. Part of the wing facing
Willow Street also includes a new bedroom, 20' long stepped back 12" from
the summer/dining room, running parallel to Navy Street.
2. The addition is not subservient to the principal building. While its ridge is 15"
lower than the original house the new cupola of the addition is actually higher
than the house ridge. The massing of the rear dwarfs the scale of neighboring
houses. The three wings together don't relate to one another or the neighbors
and the inchoate and conflicted forms of the proposed alteration and addition
just aren't compatible with the general historic character of the National
Register Historic District.
WHEREAS, the proposed construction is not necessary for compliance with the
applicable building codes or other federal or state regulations, and,
WHEREAS,the proposed construction is not necessary to allow for a use of the property
permitted by the Town Code in the applicable zoning district;
WHEREAS, it is in the public interest to preserve the historic features of the landmark
and its relation to the historic character of the community and Town as the
subject property although altered over the years to be relevant for its time,
still represents a fine example of the rural regional vernacular style typical
of Orient cottages in the 19th century. This cottage, with it existing front
door offset from an axial stepped entrance, includes two dormers, one small
and one large, puncturing the roofline but extending straight up in the same
plane as the front wall, and along with an amalgam of small additions at the
rear constitute the major features of this structure, all of which are visible
from Navy Street, and,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that the Southold Town Historic Preservation
Commission determines that the proposed work detailed in the above referenced application
fails to meet the criteria for approval under Section 170-8 (A)of the Southold Town Code and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,that the Commission denies the request for a Certificate of
Appropriateness.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, Pursuant to §170-7(C)(3) the Historic Preservation
Commission makes the following recommendations:
1. The linear link between the structures on Navy and Willow streets shows first floor
fenestration east elevation composed of three casement windows sitting under a
dormer, which is the same width as the window ensemble below. This elongated
dormer with three awning windows awkwardly mimics the roof pitch of the side
gable of the house on the east side of the cottage. If it had punctured the wall plane
like the dormers on the front of the house or been designed as a shed dormer, the
result would be more historically accurate.
2. If the scale of the addition were reduced and made sympathetic to the original
existing house then the project might be viable.
3. Retain the off-center entry as such a design element is typical for Shingle era houses
built during the 1880s-90s,
