Policy 2 Preserve historic resources of the Town of Southold. This lighthouse is a historic structure. Our proposal is minor but will enhance the ability to better access the lighthouse. Currently, the dock is just too short and the ramp is too steep. The 9' extension will give enough length for boats to avoid the existing rock.
