Ron presented a Southold Historical Society proposal for a 'heritage walking/driving tour." A motion was made
and approved by all (Ron excused himself) to accept the proposal at a cost not to exceed $1,000. Damon will
look into the feasibly of the booklet to be produced in house and the costs.
Mel showed the LPC the proposed new Landmark plaques and mentioned a few minor corrections. The
plaque design was approved and Mel given the go ahead to order 40 units from Ink spot Printing.
.Blake Goble, architect for Leann Nealy (195 Village Lane), submitted new photos and drawings to Damon for
the renovation of the property which included dormers on the second level in place of skylights. The 'look' of
the two dormers regarding the windows and pitch were discussed which were not evident with the previous
drawings. The LPC still has questions on the overall project. Damon will contact Blake regarding the concerns
to discuss a possible compromise.
Jim wants the LPC consider a float for the July 4th parade and will contact Paul Stroutenberg regarding the use
of the 'Old House' model for the parade.
