Dear Mr. Orlowski:

Planning Board
We are pleased to inform you that the property noted above will be
considered by the State Review Board at its next meeting for nomination to
the National and State Registers of Historic Places. These Registers are
the federal and state governments' official lists of historic properties
worthy of preservation. Listing in the Registers provides recognition of
our national, state and local heritage and assistance in preserving it.
Enclosed is a copy of the criteria under which properties are evaluated for
listing.
Listing in the National and State Registers affords properties a measure
of protection from the effects of federal and/or state sponsored or assisted
projects, provides eligibility for certain federal tax provisions and
renders certain properties eligible for federal and state preservation
grants. In general, there are no restrictions placed upon private owners of
registered properties. The results of listing are explained more fully in
the attached fact sheet.
Owners of private properties proposed for listing in the National
Register must be given the opportunity to concur in or object to the
listing.. Each private property o%~/er has one vote regardless of how many
properties or what part of a single property that party owns. A notarized
objection by the sole owner of a private property will prevent that property
from being listed in the National Register. For properties or districts
under multiple ownership, a majority of the owners must object in order to
prevent the listing. If a property owner wishes to object to a proposed
listing, he/she must submit a notarized acknowledgement that he/she is the
owner of the property in question and that he/she objects to the proposed
National Register listing. Objections must be submitted before the property
is listed. Specific instructions for objecting to National Register listing
are given in the enclosed fact sheet.

If a property cannot be listed because of owner objection, the SRPO will
submit the nomination to the Keeper of the National Register for a
determination of eligibility for listing. Properties formally determined
eligible for National Register listing by the Keeper are subject to the same
protection from the effects of federally sponsored or assisted projects as
are listed properties. There are no provisions in the New York State
Historic Preservation Act that allow an owner to prevent listing in the
State Register by means of objection.
If you wish to comment on whether or not the property should be
nominated to the National and State Registers, please send your comments to
the SHPO at the address below. Comments must be received by December 4,
2001 in order to be considered when this property is reviewed by the State
Review Board.
A draft copy of the proposed nomination is on file in this office and
can be made available to you upon request. For more information, please
contact James Warren, Historic Preservation Field Services Bureau, New York
