Approval of Minutes: The minutes of August 15, 2012 were approved.
Resale of Cottaqes: Resale of two units remains in process however several questions remain
that need to be addressed. The services of an appraisal have brought in different perspectives
that have stymied one contract from proceeding--all the homes are the same despite that the
sales price varies by subsidy. Homes located on the railroad tracks are higher sales price because
subsidies of lower price homes would not allow close proximity to track. Jeanne volunteered to
meet with Martin and Phillip to further examine the issue.

o Income Limits- less than 80% and 100% of median income

potential developers have expressed an interest to attend pre-submission conference with
intention of submitting a proposal. Dan and Phillip will work with the Planning Dept. to prepare a
PowerPoint presentation for the September 27th 10 a.m. meeting. Eric suggested that possibly the
conference could be videotaped so people who cannot attend can view it.
Peconic Bay Reqion Community Preservation Fund Tax: Fred and John V. suggested that the
Town of Southold provide exemption for first-time homebuyers of real estate transfer tax to further
affordable housing opportunities for moderate income households. Discussion will continue next
meeting, Fred and John will prepare a formal "recommendation" for the HAC to review.
