The RBA Group was hired by the Southhold Town Board with the Transportation Commission as the project administrators to provide design and architectural services in connection with the planning, de- sign, and development of Iow-key orientation and interpretative sig- nage, information kiosks at strategic locations, and welcome signs to each hamlets, along the 36-mile corridor. In addition, the Town of Southold was looking for assistance in a brief inventory of exist- ing signage along the scenic byway corridors to provide a general assessment and description of the existing conditions as well as providing suggestions to improve the current signage code. Further- more the Town also requested assistance in the development of a commercial way finding system, the development of hamlet welcome signs and a scenic byway logo. Throughout the inventory and design process The RBA Group co- ordinated the project with the New York State Department of Trans- portation, Suffolk County Department of Public Works, Town of Southold, North Fork Promotion Council, Chambers of Commerce, Historical Societies, Hamlet Stakeholders and various other Town Departments. The recommendations in this report were developed in accordance with the New York State Scenic Byway Sign Manual, the New York State Coastal Resources Interpretive Program Signage Design Guidelines and complement the Town's Scenic Byway Corridor Man- agement Plan. The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 3 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design December 2008 2.0 EXISTING SIGN INVENTORY A limited inventory of existing signs along the NY S Route 25 and County Road 48 corridors was conducted in December 2007 on a mild and sunny day. The team followed NYS Route 25 eastbound from the Hamlet of Laurel to Orient Point and County Road 48 west- bound from Orient Point to Laurel. The goal of this study was to pro- vide a general assessment and description of the existing signage conditions and their conformance to the current signage code. The assessed signs have been categorized into the following groups and are displayed in a photo inventory: 2.1 Municipal & State Signs 2.2 Business & Advertising Signs 2.3 Informational & Directional Signs 2.4 Temporary Signs During the course of the inventory, the team made the following observations: 2.1. Municipal Signs The signs in this category include regulatory, warning, guide and special service guide signs. In general, municipal signs account for the majority of existing signs along the right of way of each corridor studied. Nevertheless, all these signs are standardized in size and color in accordance with the National and/or New York State Manu- al of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). They do not appear to contribute to the perceived sign clutter in the Town of Southold. However, there are some signs that could be better located or com- bined with another sign on the same post. A good example for this situation is shown in Photograph 8, in which the sign for the railroad station covers the sign referring to a historic building. Another negative example are the bike route and warning signs for NYS Bike Route 25. VVhile it is essential to remind drivers to share the road with bicyclists, there seems to be an abundance of Shared Roadway and Bike Route 25 signs, especially considering that there are no other continuous east-west roadways in the Town's jurisdic- tion other than NYS Route 25 and County Road 48. 2.2. Business & Advertising Signs The signs that were categorized as Business & Advertising signs are much more obtrusive to the eye of the bypasser and add significantly to the sign clutter within the Town's jurisdiction. Signs in this cat- egory include free standing signs, business center directory signs and roof signs. Field observations indicated that many businesses had multiple free standing signs on their property, even though the current signage code limits free standing signs to one per property. An example of this condition is the car wash on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Lau- rel, see Photograph 3. Many of the free standing signs appear to exceed the size limit of 24 square feet, as demonstrated by the real estate sign on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Laurel, see Photograph 4, and the church display board on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Southoid, see Photograph 12. Free standing signs are not limited to a specific height in the current signage code, which leads to towering signs like the Surfside sign on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Laurel, see Photograph 6. Another observation was that there are a lot of repetitive free stand- ing signs, mostly related to vineyards. The code allows one free standing sign per property. If one business owns several lots in a row, like many vineyards, it is permitted to install one sign per prop- erty. In addition, these signs are coupled with directional signs, which the code allows an unlimited number of, as shown in Photograph 11, Pindar Vineyard on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Southold. All these factors together lead to the appearance of signage clutter. 2.3. Informational & Directional Signs One major loop-hole identified in the current signage code is that there is no limit to the amount of directional signs allowed per prop- erty. This loop hole is most noticeable in the quantity of directional signs per business. The repetitiveness can be witnessed specifi- cally for vineyards and restaurants, where the signs direct by passers to the actual location or entrance of the facility, see Photographs 4, 5 and 6. Many informational and directional signs exceed the maximum size of three square feet allowed per code. Examples are shown in Pho- tographs 8 through 11. Many of the informational and directional signs inventoried were clearly off-premise signs, as demonstrated by the Mattituck Motel sign on NYS Route 25 in Mattituck, see Photograph 1 and the hotel/ motel/restaurant signs shown in Photographs 8 through 11. This find- lng represents another loop hole in the current signage code, which prohibits off-premise signs in general, but permits them on private lots with the consent of the property owner. 2.4. Temporary Signs Temporary signs were selected as a separate category. During the peak seasons, the summer/fall, it is understood that a multitude of temporary signs are typically displayed throughout the Town of Southold. These temporary signs are mostly farm related and add significantly to the signage clutter during peak season. Since this inventory was conducted during off-peak (winter), the peak fall season was already over and the number of inventoried temporary signs was rather small. Despite the limited number of temporary signs, it was still possible, to detect typical non-conformances with the current signage code. During the assessment a very typical situation was observed on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Mattituck, where a Christmas Tree Farm had a free standing sign and three temporary signs, see Pho- tograph 1. The current signage code, however, permits temporary signs only, if there is no permitted free standing sign or other busi- ness sign on the property. The signage code limits the number of temporary signs per property to one. Most business though, do not seem to follow this restriction. The inventory also revealed that the required set back of 15 feet from Town roads, is not always followed, as seen in Photograph 2 on NYS Route 25 in the Hamlet of Southold.

The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 11 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design December 2008 3.0 REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF EXISTING SIGN CODE 3.1 Article 280-81. Applicability Item (B)(1)(a)' Presently reads: "Replacing Copy' Changing of name, advertising or message on an approved sign." This grandfathers all existing approved signs - especially when a property changes hands so that ali existing offensive, but approved signs, including directional signs, remain legal. The present code ensures the proliferation of unwanted signs. Recommendation' When a property changes ownership, signage must be reapplied for under the then-current code requirements. Item (B)(2) (d): Presently reads: "The following signs shall be exempt from the permit requirement, but are subject to the other requirements of this Code: (d) Informational/directional signs" Based on a survey of major arteries, this seems to be a loophole which allows commercial sites with large frontages to erect multiple signs along local roads proclaiming STORE Z % mile ahead, STORE Z ½ mile back, STORE Z next left, etc. all of which are the same size as their permitted sign. This item also makes no specification as to whether this is restricted to on-premises or whether this allows off-premises signs. It seems that many establishments have taken advantage of this vagueness and distributed "directional" signs at their pleasure. Recommendation' Delete exemption of informational/directional signs. Recommendation' Include site, so that it reads, "a color photo of the building or site upon which the sign is to be erected." 3.2 Article 280-82 General Design Principles Item (K)' Presently reads' ".. use of material such as corrugated plastic, natu- ral aluminum, bulbous plastic letters, non textured plastic and glass tile should be avoided". The use of the term "non textured plastic" is too general, given the existing tremendous range of materials which can be classified as "plastic". Some are beautiful and some are awful. Recommendation' Prohibit whatever materials you don't want - especially corrugated plastic, bulbous plastic letters, and glass tile. Signs should be prohibited on the basis of not meeting community standards of taste. Require submission of material sample with sign permit application, if it is other than painted wood or aluminum. 3.3 Article 280-83 Prohibitions and General Restrictions Item (A)' Presently reads: "Unless otherwise provided herein, non-accessory signs, billboards, off-premises signs, and mobile signs shall be pro- hibited in all districts." Recommendation- Enforcement should include fines to subsidize enforcement efforts. We endorse the recommendation of the Scenic Corridor Manage- ment Plan, that fines should be a consequence for failure to comply with the Sign Ordinances. without the consent of the owner thereof .... " Contradicts with item (A), that non accessory signs, billboards, off- premise signs and mobile signs are prohibited in all districts. Based on the survey of the major arteries, this seems to be a loophole, which allows property owners to "lend" space to other business to put up their directional, informational or temporary signs. Recommendation' Remove entire sentence' "No signs shall be placed on any private property without the consent of the owner thereof". 3.4 Article 280-85 Specific Signs Item (A) through (O): The items listed within this paragraph include business type signs and sign type signs. Recommendation' The items within this paragraph are not parallel items. A better way of structuring them would be to have two main categories' Business Types and Sign Types. Business Types are Item A: Business Center Directory Signs, B: Contractor Signs, C: Farm, Garden or Nursery Signs, H: Nonprofit Organization Directory Signs, !: Real Estate Signs, K: Subdivision Signs and M: Tourist Directional Signs. Sign Types are Item D' Freestanding Signs, E: Historic Signs, F' In- formational/Directional Signs, G' Nameplates, J' Roof Signs, L' Tem- porary Signs, N' Wall Signs and O' Window Signs. Within each of those two main categories, the type of signs should be listed including allowable quantity, size and location, etc per property. Since the Item F' Informational/Directional Signs is very close to the item M' Tourist Directional Signs, it is further recommended to in- clude the Tourist Directional Signs as part of the municipal program. Item (C)(4)' Presently reads' "A color photo of the building upon which the sign is to be erected." Item (J)' Presently reads' "... No sign shall be placed on any private property The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 12 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design December 2008 3.5. Article 280-86 Specific Sign Requirements Item (A) through (D)' This paragraph deals with specific zoning areas within the Town. Recommendations' Zoning locations where specific sign sizes are permitted should be part of this paragraph so that the information is not overlooked. 3.6. Article 280-90 Nonconforming Signs Item (A), (3)' Presently reads' "The business which is served by the nonconform- ing sign has been discontinued for a period of two years or more." Recommendation' The grace period for compliance should be a simple given time pe- riod, for example six months, rather than the arcane and difficult- to-ascertain conditions stated in the present article. Allowing two years for compliance is as good as not having an ordinance. The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 13 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway December 2008 Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design 4.0 COMMERCIAL WAY FINDING SYSTEM 4.1. What is a Commercial Way Finding System The Town of Southold expressed interest in the implementation of a commercial way finding system to help reduce the sign clutter along the main arteries and improve the guiding system for tourists. Before developing a commercial way finding system, it is important to first take a look at the existing way finding elements in the Town. The goal of a way finding system in general is to enhance an environ- ment by guiding users to and from their destination of choice via an easy-to-understand, attractive guide or way finding system. When properly developed, the core elements of a way finding program work together to assist users in: Knowing where they are Identifying their destination and following the best route Recognizing their destination upon arrival; and Safely returning back to their point of origin 4.2. Proposed Commercial Way Finding System The existing general way finding system for the Town of Southold is limited to the municipal signs. The recommendations of this report will further enhance this system by adding welcome signs, Scenic Byway logo signs, interpretive signs and informational kiosks. In addition to these general way finding elements, a commercial way finding system for the Town of Southotd will create a uniform system in which businesses can set up directional signs to guide visitors to their facilities. their respective color codes: Restaurants - Red MarinaANaterfront related businesses - Blue Lodging Purple General businesses Beige The size of these directional signs could follow the current signage code, which limits the size to three square feet. However, all signs within the system should have a uniform size. The signs would be collectively displayed on street corners on a separate pole, specifically designed for the commercial way finding system. See a conceptual rendering of such a signage pole to be provided outright. To tie this system into the North Fork Trail theme, the logo of the Scenic Byway could be displayed on top of each pole. The cost for the implementation of this system could be shared by the Town and the business owners. The installation of the pole could be financed by the Town of Southold. Ageneral fee per sign panel would apply to each business represented. Once the system increases in popularity with the community and carries fruits by improving busi- ness, more and more businesses will likely sign on. Most of the current directional signs are simply the result of loopholes within the current signage code (see Section 2.0). The tightening of the code, as per recommendations in Section 3.0 would reduce a significant number of these existing signs. The proposed commercial way finding system would open another door for the businesses to promote their facilities by working within a uniform and aesthetic framework. Example of way finding signage: uniform fonts The proposed commercial system would include and replace the existing directional business signs and group them into the coded categories. The two types of systems most widely used are color coded systems and systems using visual symbols. Both systems work well and are based on user preference. The color coded system was further ex- plored as part of this report by using the following catagories and Example of way finding signage: individual fonts The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 14 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway December 2008 Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design 5.0 SCENIC BYWAY LOGO 5.1. What is a Scenic Byway A scenic byway is a road that has a stow to tell. A scenic byway might offer wonderful views, captivating historical sites, or incredible wild- life. It is a road corridor that has scenic, natural, recreational, cultural, historic, or archaeological significance. A scenic byway can offer an alternative route to major highways while telling a story about New York State heritage, recreational activities, and beauty. A scenic byway is beneficial for both the travelers that use it and the communities that adjoin it. The travelers are treated to not only a beautiful trek, but an educational one as well. The communities profit by a management plan that protects and enhances the byway corridor while encouraging increased tourism. In 2001, New York State officially designated County Road 48, New York State Route 25, and Sound Avenue, along the Long Island Sound and Great Peconic Bay shores of the North Fork of Long Is- land in Suffolk County, as a New York State Scenic Byway known as the "North Fork Trail Scenic Byway'L It would be rather difficult to represent all these elements in a symbol and keep it simple and recognizable. The following elements have been selected as the most valuable ones to be represented in the proposed logo: The Orient Lighthouse has been selected to represent the many lighthouses in the Town and a simplified version is displayed in the logo. The fact that the Town is on a peninsula and almost entirely sur- rounding by water is symbolized in the ocean. The picturesque natural scenery is represented in a simple green line at the bottom of the logo and an abstract display of beach grasses. 5.2. What is a Logo A logo is a graphical symbol. Typically, a Iogo's design is for imme- diate recognition, inspiring trust, admiration and loyalty. The logo is one aspect of a company's commercial brand, or economic entity, and its shapes, colors, fonts, and images usually are different from others in a similar market. Logos are also used to identify municipali- ties, organizations and other non-commercial entities. 5.3. Proposed North Fork Trail Logo The North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Logo achieves to represent ev- erything that the Town of Southold and its scenic roadways stand for. These are Southold's picturesque views, its lighthouses and beach- es, the many water related activities, its New England character, its beautiful nature and wetlands, and its farms and vineyards. The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 15 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design 6.0 WELCOME SIGNS 6.1 Introduction Byway Community Identification Signs are typically used to identify the beginning of the byway and the gateways to the hamlets along the byway. They also serve to welcome travelers to the byway com- munity. Having multiple hamlets along the corridor, a common sign design that allows for individual identity expression, will further rein- force the overall theme of the byway. Adding consistency, this is also economically practical for smaller communities with limited budgets. 6.2 Location The Scenic Byway Welcome Signs will be situated at each of the Southold/Riverhead townlines on NYS Route 25 and on County Road 48. The Hamlet Welcome Signs will be situated at the entrances to each Hamlet in the eastbound and westbound directions on NYS Route 25 and County Road 48. 6.3 Preliminary Design of Scenic Byway Welcome Sign The Scenic Byway Welcome Sign welcomes visitors to the North Fork Trail Scenic Byway. The byway logo is displayed on the sign as well as the Town of Southold logo. 6.4 Preliminary Design of Sample Hamlet Welcome Signs The Hamlet Welcome Sign welcomes visitors to each Hamlet along the Byway. To keep a uniform appearance to all signs, the upper por- tion of the Hamlet welcome signs is almost identical to the North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Welcome Sign. The lower portion of the signs displays the name of each Hamlet and a slogan and logo identifying each Hamlet. Below are draft examples of Hamlet Welcome Signs for the Hamlets of Mattituck, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold and the Village of Greenport. North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Welcome Sign Hamlet of Mattituck Welcome Sign December 2008 Hamlet of Cutchogue Welcome Sign Hamlet of Peconic Welcome Sign The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 16 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design The incorporated Village of Greenport has already welcome signs at the Village's borders. But in order to include Greenport into the Scenic Byway and to achieve overall consistency along the Byway it is recommended to replace these existing signs with the proposed hamlet welcome signs, Sign acceptance and replacement, will need approval by the Village Board.

They should present information, drawings, sketches, and/or photographs of the area of interest in a logical, sim- pie, graphically interesting, and easy-to-understand way. The effec- tiveness of an interpretative sign is based on how visually pleasing it is to look at and how informative it is~ Studies show that the average person will spend 20-30 seconds reading an interpretive sign. There- fore, it is imperative to communicate the information on the sign to the viewer quickly but in an effective manner. Below is an example of an interpretive sign. There are two types of interpretive signs: Low Profile Site Interpretive and High Profile Site Interpretive. Low Profile Interpretive Signs would orient patrons to information about a site that are to be viewed from where they are standing. Conversely, High Profile Interpretive Signs are utilized where horizontal space is limited, or in an urban setting. Below is an example of a high profile interpretive sign with the proper dimensions. For this project, the design of interpretive signs shall conform to the requirements of the New York State Scenic Byways Sign Manual. 7.2 Location High Profile Interpre- tive signs are pro- posed at select loca- tions throughout the Town of Southold. They will highlight 30" the significant histori- cal, recreational, and natural sites along the two scenic byway corridors. Five (5) sites have been selected as lo- cations to be repre- sented with an inter- pretive sign (see sign location maps on the following pages). 1. Laurel Lake Preserve, Laurel Located at trailhead of preserve east of Visitors Center on NYS Road 25. 2. Southold Historical Society & ~luseums, Southold Located at corner of Maple Lane and NYS Route 25 3. Arshamomaque Pond Preserve, Southold Located at trailhead on NYS Route 25 on the north side of the road. 4. Dam Pond Reserve, Memorial Post Office & Life Saving Sta- tion, East Marion. Located at trailhead of Dam Pond Road north of County Road 48. 5. Oysterponds Historical Society Located at the Village Lane/Rte. 25 intersection. 7.3 Content 1. Laurel Lake Preserve The preserve encompasses 400 acres surrounding Laurel Lake. It is the largest preserve in the Town of Southold. Most area of forest is at December 2008 the mature, climax stage of development. The community is mixed hardwood dominated by oaks, hickories, beeches and maples. There are many forms of wildlife, in the forest such as owls, foxes, rabbits, woodpeckers, hawks, falcons and deer. The preserve also contains a large wetland component besides the lake such as swamp, marshes, and vernal pools. Turtles, ducks and frogs make these wetlands their homes. There are also a few areas of meadow that are maintained to provide open space for the hunting hawks. Laurel Lake is also the former site of the famous Camps Malloy and Immaculata. They were Diocesan camps started in 1926 for un- derprivileged children from New York City. The camp provided the children with a summer getaway from the city with only a minimal charge. Former Camp Malloy attendees frequently visit Laurel Lake to reminisce about the times spent at the camp. 2. Southold Historical Society & Museums This complex, consisting of a collection of historic buildings on the same plot of land includes the following: Ann Currie-Bell House- built in 1900 for Joseph and Ella Hall- ock, parents of the founder of the Southold Historical Society. The house is an example of late Victorian architecture embellished with a variety of European styles. Many paintings are on display as well as the Victorian pieces of furniture. During the year many exhibits and special events are held here. Thomas Moore House-Built circa 1705 by Samuel Landon. The house illustrates life and living conditions before the Industrial Revolution. The structure has been restored to its original state. The room in the back, which used to be a kitchen, is now an ex- hibit for early basket weaving. The furnishings cover the period from 1600s to 1835. There are also some early toys and dolls on display. Bay View Schoolhouse- Built in 1822. A one-room schoolhouse that was used until 1925. · Pine Neck Barn- Built in the 1700s. On display are horse and cow stalls, saddles, a crop duster, plough, corn husker, sleighs, and carriages. Blacksmith Shop- Built in 1842. Operated for over 100 years be- fore being shut down. It is now restored on Museum grounds and in use again in seasonal demonstrations. Buttery- See how butter was made by using all the milk-house equipment including butter molds, churns, pitchers, crocks and pails. Corncrib- built circa 1875 in Peconic. The architecture of the build- ing is extremely typical of the characteristics of the period. The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 18 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design Bay View Icehouse- Built circa 1875 in Bay View. The circular brick walls and conical shaped roof are unique to the North Fork of Long Island. Originally 16 foot deep, with straw piled on top of the ice would last for a year. Downs Carriage House- built in 1840. Is the society's first working printing house. Prince Building- built in the 1800s and restored to its original state. Today it houses the Society's offices and archives. 3. Arshamomaque Pond Preserve The preserve has over 2500 feet of shoreline along Hashamomuck Pond and includes salt marsh meadows, pristine woodlands and tidal wetlands. The unique natural complex ranks as one of the most valu- able and productive coastal and marine ecosystems in the nation. Vernal ponds (also known as seasonal wetlands) and pools form throughout the year in the woodlands because the clay deposits pre- vent the surface water from draining. This area is well known for its fine clay used in brick making since colonial days. tt also serves as a significant shellfish resource for commercial and recreational har- vesters. There is a wide variety of wildlife present due to the unique- ness of the preserve: deer, fox, raccoon, swamp rose, azalea, frogs, blue heron, egret, blue crabs, mussels, oysters, mummichogs, and killfish. See preliminary design for this interpretive sign on the right. 4. Dam Pond Reserve, Memorial Post Office & Life Saving Sta- tion The 36-acre reserve is unique for its maritime red cedar forest as well as a great place for bird watching. It is known as an "old field community" meaning it was once used for farming. The adjacent pond serves as an ecological nursery and feeding area for many fish species. It is surrounded by salt marsh that provides an im- portant habitat for many animals. Wildlife present includes: deer, fox, quail, hawks, osprey and terrapin. Commissioned in 1896, the Rocky Point Station rescued sailors who wrecked on the Sound shore. The life saving station was ac- tive for over 50 years before being abandoned in 1946. East Marion has the only memorial post office in the U.S. It was opened in 1949~ Oysterponds Historical Society Consists of six buildings all within close proximity of one another Village House- built in 1798.

It served as a grain storage shed located on Orient Wharf. It was later used as a seine house for repairing and restoring fishing nets. Today the building serves as a penny candy store. 7.4 Potential/Alternative Sites for Additional Interpretive Sign Locations The following sites are additional or alternative locations for interpre- tive signs, if additional funding is available: Downs Farm Preserve/Fort Corchaug -It would be useful to have an interpretive sign at the trailhead. This would serve to remind travelers of the important information that they learned while read- ing the proposed kiosk, as described in section 8.0 of this study. Cutchogue Village Green - It would be valuable to have an inter- pretive sign at the entrance of the Village Green. This would help remind the visitors of the information pertaining to each building Arshamomaque Preserve - tt would be beneficial to have an in- terpretive sign at the trailhead of the preserve, even though it is already mentioned on the proposed Greenport Kiosk. Mattituck. Laurel Historical Society - It would be advantageous to have an interpretive sign at the site of the historical society to heip ihe ~iSit°rs that have been directed to these buildings from the proposed kiosk.

A kiosk is simply a two, three or four sided, high profile interpretive sign. It has a more com- prehensive approach to informing the viewer, as there is more space than a Iow profile interpretive sign. It is designed and placed in areas that will encourage people to spend a sufficient amount of time to view all the information on each side of the kiosk. Below is an ex- ample of a typical three sided kiosk. A schematic perspective view with basic dimensions is shown to the right. The basic dimensions for a kiosk side are 36 inches by 78 inches high. For this project, the design of the kiosks shall conform to the requirements of the New York State Coastal Resources Interpretive Program. 8.2 Locations Kiosks are proposed for the busiest hamlet centers within the Town of Southold. They will be placed in locations that have high pedestrian volume, as welt as historical and cultural significance. Based on these criteria four (4) locations were chosen (see kiosk location maps on the following pages). New York State Coasts and 'Waterways SIDE A SIDE C 1. Mattituck Kiosk Located midway between Main Road and the railroad station on the west side of Love Lane. 2. Cutchogue Kiosk Located just east of the intersection of Griffin Street and NYS Route 25. 3, Southold Kiosk Located at northeast corner of NYS Route 25 and Youngs Avenue. 4. Greenport Kiosk Located in the municipal parking lot at Main Street and Adams Street next to the Rotary Kiosk. 8.3 Content The contents of each kiosk where based on information from the town and various stakeholders. They are conceptual and subject to change. Before finalization the selected sites and their narratives will need to be approved by the organizations being described. 1, Mattituck Kiosk The Mattituck Kiosk will feature the following sites: Octagon House, Presbyterian Church, and Mattituck Laurel Historical Society: The kiosk will reference the following sites: The RBA Group for the Town of Southold Page 24 North Fork Trail Scenic Byway Inventory, Assessment and Conceptual Design · The Octagon House was built in 1854.

There is a freshwater wetland adjacent to the salt marsh. The eastern border of the preserve is formed by Downs Creek. The preserve is the only intact site where there once stood a 17th century Indian fort, fertile farmland, and a farmhouse that typifies the rich farming history of the region. In this way the preserve tracks key parts of history of Long Island. The fort is a powed:ul symbol of the Indian past, and the farmsteads a reminder of the colonial era. The present day vineyards symbolize the agricultural future of the region. · New Suffolk is the site for the first submarine base in the U.S history.
