A later owner was a fisherman who closed the house in the summer when he fished out of Montauk. The 1974 SPLIA ('Society for the Preservation of L.I. Antiquities). survey indicates a narrow entranceway; wide floor boards upstairs; a non-working fireplace with an arm for pots in the kitchen; and odginal woodwork around the fireplace and door jambs. The property is significant within the context of other properties in the Orient Historic District which together reflect the growth of the early village from a farming and fishing community to a prominent year round and summer residential district. The property, although altered over the years to be relevant for its time, remains a fine example of a simple workman's home. It adds diversity to the Village Lane streetscape. 130 Village Lane anchors the entrance to the Orient National Historic District. Demolition of this landmark would change the streetscape rhythm and decrease the diversity of building styles that characterize Village Lane. In its evaluation, the Commissioners have considered how, and if, the proposal to demolish 130 Village Lane meets the criteda outlined in Section 170-9A of the $outhold Town Code, Criteria for Approval of Demolition or Removal of Historic Landmarks. As outlined in Section 170-9A, the Commissioners have unanimously decided: RECEIVED JUN B 20i0 BOARD OF APPEALS Item (1) The landmark is of historic value and its demolition would alter the streetscape of Village Lane and be to the detriment of the public interest. · As indicated above, the property, although altered over the years to be relevant for its time, remains a fine example of a simple workman's home. It adds diversity to the Village Lane streetscape. Demolition of this landmark that anchors the northern entrance to the village would change the streetscape rhythm and decrease the diversity of building styles that characterize Village Lane. Item (2) Retention of the landmark in its current or similar fonw and location is important to the village's histo[y and character. · The property is significant within the context of other properties in the Orient Historic District which together reflect the history and growth of the early village from a farming and fishing community to a prominent year round and summer residential district. There are few examples of this type and size home lee in Orient. Its demolition would significantly change the character of Village Lane. Item (3) The landmark is of such old and unusual or uncommon design, texture and material that it could not be reproduced or be reproduced only with great di~culty. · Although not historically significant because of its design, its type a small, rather plain and unadorned workman's or f/sherman's home of the mid-t9m century- makes it an important contributor to the overall streetscape and history of Village Lane. Granted, it could be reproduced without great difficulty. It should be noted here that the owners' original application was to considerably increase the size of the house, thus significantly altering the streetscape as the visitor enters the historic district. RECEIVED JUN 8 2010 BOARD OF ~A~PEALS Item (4)_Retention of the landmark would help preserve and protect an historic area in the Town. · 130 Village Lane is a registered landmark property and a contributing element of the Orient National Historic District. As such, it significantly contributes to the general historic ambience and attractiveness of not only Orient village, but also the entire Town, especially as visitors arrive from the East off the ferry. Item (5) Retention of the landmark will help promote the general welfare by maintaining and increasing rea/ estate values and encourage interest in local history and architecture. · Properties in Orient, especially in the historic district, continue to be sought after as both year round and summer homes. Even in the current depressed real estate market, pdces in Orient have generally not decreased and some have even increased over non-historic properties. Visitors continue to visit the museums of the Oysterponds Historical Society and patronize their programs on Odent history. As a registered landmark, 130 Village Lane contributes to the overall attractiveness of the hamlet that draws new home owners and visitors to the area. The official policy of the Landmark Preservation Commission is to not permit demolition of a landmark structure unless there is no prudent alternative. The Commission cannot allow a registered landmark to be demolished under circumstencss where the structure can be renovated and altered to accommodate the needs of an applicant. · The Commission notes that there is a design alternative (See Town of Southold Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) Handbook, Part Ih Design Guidelines for Appropriate Design in the Historic Context) and that the owners can accomplish their goals without demolishing this historic structure. RECEIVED BOARD OF APPEALS The Southold Town Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) adheres to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (See LPC Handbook, Appendix-II.

A detailed review of property records and deeds, searching for any records of sales, leases, transfers or quitclaim deeds by the Board of Southold Trustees to any entity and specific detailed information whereof no such information is found to exist. 3. From a range of alternatives, including the no action alternative, discuss remediation and restoration of affected wetland areas generally described in "1." above, including the Southold Town Trustees in discussions of remediation of aforesaid wetland areas insofar as is possible, especially for lands, under-water lands or formerly under-water lands for which the People of Southold may have a property interest, if no deed or quitclaim deed was ever executed by the Trustees transferring ownership to prior owners. 4. The Town trustees put a premium on remediation efforts, with due appreciation for ownership and title, which will recreate functional wetland systems, with natural outlets to the sea, where the people may pursue fish, fowl, shellfish and all manner of sport and recreation, as has been the custom in this place.

The owner had submitted prior p~ans to the Town for renovations and additi(ms. At the present firne the owner of the property has requested to demolish the structure and rebuild a new residence. The information in this report is to be used by the Town of Southold in its deliberations regarding this request. Joseph Fischetti, PE is a professional engineer licensed to practice in New York State. Mr. Fischetti has been in private practice since 1976 and has been a commerdal and residential builder for 30 yeem. Mr. Fischetti has a degree of Civil Engineming from Villanova University in Pennsylvania. He also has a Masters Degree of Business Administration from Adelphi University. The subject properly contains a main structure consisling of a wood framed one story home that was constructed in the mid to late 19· century, it has a stacked stone foundation with a crawl space below the first floor and an attic above. There is a central fireplace and Ixick flue, A wood framed addition wes constmctod to the rear of the meln siructum. This addition contains a kitchen and toilet areas. Additkms such as this am typical du~ng the lalter part of the 19· century and the eady part of the 20a century with the advent of elect~dty from the Greenport Power Rent. Electric water pumps brongM indoor plumbing to homes that had outhouses, cooking sheds and outdoor hand pomps. The o~ginal main 1 story structure is the only ama of discussion for this report. The mar addition, while pmbebly over 100 ye,am old, is of poor quality and not significant for consideration. Page 2 MAY 6 2010 BOARD OF APPEALS EXTERIOR Tho exterior of main single sto~j structure is in odginai condition with the exception of tho siding and roofing. The original s'~ing which could have bee~ horizontal bevel siding or waod shingles was removed and asbestos shingles were installed onto lhe existing sheathing. The o~ginal roof, which was most likely wood shingles was removed and asphalt shingles ware installed. Windows, fascia and exterior trim seem original. Thore are Yankee gutters on the home to handle the roof runoff, which seem to be in use at this time and are typical for this area and lime of ~n. You find many homes with this type of gutter system removed and aluminum gutters installed on the fascia. There is no evidence of movement in the exterior walls. The chimney flue joints are in good shape and tho bdck seems sound and free from movement. I was told by tho owner that the internal flue is damaged and the fireplace is not in use. The structure seems tight and free from leaks which would cause intemal rot and damage to the building. FOUNDATDN The stacked stone foundation has tho exterior face area covered with mortar. Normally these older stacked stone foundation did not penetrate below thesurfaca more than 12 inches. The soil conditions on the North Fork, in most areas, are sandy which resists frost heave. Soils lhat contain large amounts of loam will fl'eeze, expand and damage foundations. It has been my expedenca that oU foundations whether concrete or stacked stone placod on sandy soil are just as sound as foundations placed in the required 3 feet below the surface as required by code. The space below the first floor is a crawl space with a di~t floor. The crawl area was too Iow to access. The view was from an opening in the small basement area of the rear kitchen addition. The floor structure was constructed with 3'x8' wood joist members. I noted that some main wood membem contained older termite damage that had been repaired. That is not out of the ordinary for a home of this age. The stone foundation was in sound comli~n. This conduslen is from the lack of movement in the foundation wall the wall. The first wood floor structure may require additional supporting due to rot and insect damage not seen. NOTE: Any discussk~.s of renovations to this structure should consider excavating a basement under the home. This has been dens succasdully by the Group for the East EndJn the Village of Southold. The excavation was done with the home in place. This allows easy access to the lower structure for repairs and inclusion utilities. Page 3 RECE/VED BOARD OF APPEALS The following photo is a 1860% 2 stop home in Gmenport where the crawi sp~e was dig out into a full basement. The block wall (dutch wall) supports the existing stone founda~don that is 4 feet away and only 12 inches into the soil. The new basement allowed carpenters to re-support existing rotted floor joists as shown and the installation of a new warm air heating and cooling system. The girder above the wall adds edditlonel support to the existing foundation. II~rF. RIOR The intedor of the original main home consists of; living room, small dining area, one bedroom, stairway to attic, and a small storage or food preparation room. The §replace uniquely faces the rear of the home and not into any room. This was probably a working fireplace to heat food and water. The interior is generally original wilh some minor partrdon changes. Wir,~ows trim, doors, walls and floors are all in excellent condition. There is no evidence of major movement in the floors or walls. The finished floors are oak installed in a spiral pattern. The first floor ceiling height is 7'-2", typical for the time. NOTE. Current building codes require 7'- 6' as minimum height for habitable areas. Because this is an existing historic stmcturs, compliance is not required. Page 4 MAY $ 2010 BOARD OF APPEALS The attic has been papally finished with pmssad board and lattice strips. The unfinished attic reveals roof rafters consisting of 3'x 5" at 42 inches on center. Wide plank magh sawn boards (+12 inches wide) are the roof sheathing. Re-supporting the existing rafters can easily be done without removing the existing structure. The height from the attic floor to the top of the milers is 6'-9'. Not high enough for habitable space without mframing the roof. It is assumed that exterior walls do not contain insulation. This condition can he repaired easily prior to installing the new exterior siding by blowing in insula~oo into'the stud spaces from the outside. Conclusions The current 1 sto~y rain stroctum is in sound condition. The foundation of stacked stones has supported the structom for over 100 years with no movement It should be adequate to support the normal loads expected for the structure even though the bottom of the foundation does not go below the frost line of 3 feet below the surface The attic space is too-low for habitable space. If a 2"d floor habitable space is contemplated, the roof structure would need tO be removed to provide proper ceiling height. With the additional loading of a 2"d floor, an architect or engineer would need to evaluate existing foundation and cerfly its adequacy. I have designed internal 'dutch' walb to take up most of the 2"d floor loading during the excavation of the basement in areas where the existing exterior wall could not support the load. (See photo above) This arrangement would preclude foundation removal, The existing structure.is too small to be used as is and would require add~ structures to be constructed to the mar for the additional rooms The exte~r of the main stmcturo would require minimal repairs. Removal of the asbestos siding and replacing bevel siding or wood shingles would require no changes to the framing or trim.

A1A OUR VIEW A tale of two houses In a community that lays claim to beIng home to the oldest English-speaking settlement in the state (a claim made also by our cousins on the south side of the bay), one would expect to find a significant number of historic buildings of varying ages, pedigree and states of repair, or, unfortunately, disrepair. To be sure, Southold's history is well represented in its extant old homes, cinirches and other buildings. And many buildings throughout town carry the small markers denoting official "land- markf' status, and in each case, the owners agreed to that status. There have been attempts over the years to put more teeth into Southold's historic preservation ordinance, but at the moment it's still a voluntary prograrm For the most part It's certainly nOt VOlun~ for ]ulien and Claudia King Ramone, who inherited a small 19th-century house onVillage Lane in Orient and who want to raze it and build a more family-friendly home. But .t~eir propertylieswithin two separate historic districts -- town and federal -- and ~that places them under the aegis of the town's Historic Preservafi°ll Commission. This is new ground for both the Ramones and the commis- sion because this is the first time anyone has sought permission to tear down a building within a historic district. Judging by the comments offered by commissioners during a recent ptiblic hearing, the panel doesn't seem happy with the request. See story on page Z2. Should it deny the application, the Ramones face three choices. They can leave the house as is, file new plans to add an extension or appeal to the Town Board to overrule the commission. Some might view the process as an assault on property rights, even institutionalized snobbery. But whatever the outcome, the applicants still have options. No doubt, owning a historic home, however modest, can present significant financial and practical challenges. But it's also an opportunity to be an active participant in helping maintain the attractive -- and still highly marketable -- charaCter Of the cornmurdty, There's alsoa downside to the voluntary nature of Southold's historic preservation program. This week's cover story tells the sad, yet hopeful, tale of the neglect and deterioration of a house near Cedar Beach in Southold where Helen Keller, left deaf and blind by an early childhood illness, vacationed with her teacher, Anne Sullivan, who succeeded in bringing her out of the dark- ness. "The Miracle Worker," a play later made into a movie, tells their story. . The abandoned house is open to the elements and falling apart. It's not on the town's landmarks list, but it could be. A house's age is one criteria, another is who lived there. An unlikely historic preservation advocate, Southold High School student Ian Toy, is leading the charge to save the Helen Keller house. It's a daunt- ing challenge certainly, but our guess is it would be foolish to bet against him. The Orient and Southold houses may seem to have little in com- mon, but they serve to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the town's ongoing attempt to retain standing examples of its rich architectural history. In Orient, the Ramones are part of a detailed and lengthy review process that they may see as frustrating and burdensome. But the price of doing nothing is all too evident in the sorry state of the Helen Keller house. Historic preservation is much more than simply.affixing a plaque to an outside wall. As a matter of history, preservation and community identiW, it would be a shame to see the Ramone house go. Avoiding its demolition is precisely why the two historic dis- tricts were created. Ctaudia Ramone tells the town Historic Preservation Commission on April 20 why she and her husband want to demolish and rePla~ce their 19th-century house in Orient. An eyesore or, historic treasure?. PreservatiOn panel hears both sides of bid to replace an old Orient house BY TIM K'~LY I EDITOR The Orient couple looking, to demol- ish an old home and build a new one have made thek case to the town's His- toric Preservation Commission, which has yet to rule. But if comments from several panel members are any indica- tion, the couple's dream of a new house may be heading into a buzz saw. Claudia and lulien Ramone appeared before the commission on April 20 seeking permission to raze their small mid- to late 1800s house at 130 V'fllage Lane, which lies within separate federal and town historic districts. They plan to replace the house with a two-story strucm~ of similar design. The commission has never before considered a request to tear down a house within a historic disirict. The application appears toboil down to one basic question: Would the de- molition of an old home, one the preS. ervation group's chairman described as "lackluster" and "nondescript," amount to an unacceptable cultural loss for a community that contains both town and federal historic districts? During her presentation, Claudia King Ramone said~she and her hus- band want to replace "an eyesore" with "a suitable and safe home that would fit in with the character of the village. We're not out-of-town yahoos trying to build a McMansion onVillage Lane as a weekend home." As to the current buildings historic significance, she directed the panel to an oysterponds Historical Society book that lists the structure but makes no mention of any significant architectural detail~. Neither does it speak to anyhis- toric relevance. It's unlikely the house's current appearance matches how it looked when listed on an 1858 map, Ms. Ramone added. Exteiior additious since thbn include a front porch and a bay window and asbestos siding. She told the commission members the cost to preserve the structure and bomplete recommended upgrades and repairs is prohibitive. "Without the right to maximize the livable space in our home, including a full second story, the investment re- quired to restore the property will not be made," she said. All but one of the other speakers sup- ported the project, but severalcommis- sion members seemed to hint that the Ramones face an uphill fight The neet hired by the town to examine the structure declared it "sound and in good condition," 'a findtng~hat contradicts a repm-t submitted by ~e!Bgmones. While change within/t community is expected, the federal law that estab- li__.qhed tile~national histolic di~ct says an original structure must be main- rained if it is found to be in good con- dition, said cormm'ssion member Ron RossL "It's common in Southold town to re- hab old buildings,' Mr. Rossi said, add- ORIEblT HOUSE [ PAGE 37 ORIENT HOUSE... CONTINUED FROM PaGe 22 lng that he's done it twice~ Each of the commission's seven members lives in a historic house. ]amie Gan~tson, an Orient architect and commission member, said the Ra- mone home's modest nature"is arepre- sentalJon of the diversity of the town. It sits at the northern end of Viliage Lane, next to what once was "a muddy thor- oughfare at the edge of town." ' It does hold a place in local history and so the phrase "complete tear-down is jarring to me," Mr. Garretson said. The commission's approval would set a precedent for other tear-downs, -said member Barbara Schnitzler, who asked how many demolitions could occur within a historic district before the area loses its historic value. The commission has reviewed 11 applica- tions to alter histotichouses, the bulk of them in Orient, and approved each one. The Ramones' demolition request is the commissions's first. The replacement structure "could be built anywhere in America," said Ms. Schnitzler. '~,nd that's the point," Freddie Wachsberger, former presi- dent of the Oysterponds Historical So- ciety, didn't see it that way. "I always thought of Vlilage Lane as an organic, living streetscape," she said at the meeting. She suggested that the proposed house is a good fit for the neighborhood and that the existing house currently "is not sympathetic to the needs of a 2 lst-century family." The Ramones, who both work in Manhattan, have two small daughters. "It isn't a museum," Ms. Wachsberger said, and suggested that the commis~ sion~ approval"seems a no-brainer.' Village Lane resident Walter Millis called the house "ugly" and "of no use to anybody." In a letter to the com- mission, Burke Liburt said he "can't imagine a more welcoming gateway to Orient than the channing home they propose.' But another Orient resident, for- mer Planning Board chairwoman Jeri Woodhouse, said the request is far from a no-brainer. "I wouldn't say this house is ugly.," she said. "It talks m some of the history of the town." Its demolition, Ms. Woodhouse told the commission, "would be one more way that we chip away at our history and our heritage." The commission will continue to accept written comments on the Ra- mones' application through May 4. Alter the hOuse or tear it down? Historic review panel seeks help as it considers the future of Village Lane, Orient, structure BYTIM KELLy I EDITOR ' Tearing down an old house and building a new one is common in Southold, but an Orient couple's bid to do just that is something quite rare. Never before has anyone asked the town's Historic Preservation Commission to raze a house in a his- toric district. And for that reason, the town is taking the unusual step of hiring an engineer to closely ex- amine the small Cape at 130 Village Lane in Orient for structural soundness and potential historic sig- nificance. Commission chairman Jim Grathwohl described the house as "very nondescript" and "lackluster," but added that his group's charge is to maintain the area's historic significance. Village Lane lies within two historic districts, the town's and another at the federal level. "This is a tough predicament," Mr. Grathwohl said unng the Town Board s Tuesday mormng session You can fix anything, ~t slust a matter of cost. Where do you draw the line on the cost?" The owners, lulien and Claudia Ramone, originally sought the commission's blessing called a"certifi- cate of appropriateness" for alterations and an ad- dition. They subsequently said the structure, built in the mid to late 1800s, is not worth altering, Mr. Grath- wohl said. The home they hope to build would have "more space than the lot would provide." he added "Just because they want it and it's theirs doesn't mean they can put this McMansion on itfi Mr. Grath- wohl told the board. He also said the historic preservation panel is split on the application. Should the commission reject the demolit~on~ the owners can appeal to the Town Board. The engineering report "makes sure we covered all the bases if it comes to ~m appeal," the chairman ;r, aid~',~ make~urelhat~ou~ decis'~aison solid ground." The town's Historic Review Commission must decide whether this 'nondescript' home on Village Lane in Orient can be razed to make room for a new structure or must be preserved due to its historic signifu:ance. "If it comes to us, we're going to make one group of people very unhappy either way," said Supervisor Scott Russell. The owners' architect maintains that the founda- tion and some of th~ stxuctural beams are beyond Later on Tuesday, the Town Board agreed to hire Southold engineer Joseph Fischetti to examine the house at a cost not to exceed $1,1)00. The Historic PreservationCommission will hold a public hearing on the Ramone application at Town Hall at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, April 20. tkel II. tim er~eview, com 11 Office Location: Town Annex/First Floor, Capital One Bank 54375 Main Road (at Youngs Avenue) Southold, NY 11971 Mailing Address: 53095 Main Road P.O.
