Chairman’s Comments:
In Chairman Grathwohl’s absence, Commissioner Garretson
commented that Chairman Grathwohl was on the mend, sends his regards, and hopes
chair the January meeting.
Awards Program:
After previous discussions regarding the revival of the LPC awards
program, commissioners agreed to bring their own nominations to be discussed at the
January meeting.
Appointment: Greg (Double G Construction)
regarding a window replacement project
at 150 Baywater Avenue, Southold.
The project is part of an assistance program to help the property’s owner.
o
The scope of work includes window replacement, and general repairs (leaders,
o
gutters, etc.)
Because of the cost involved in replacing the windows with units that would be in
o
keeping with the historic home and the property owner’s limited budget,
commissioners suggested that the contractor use “storm” windows to meet the
needs of the applicant and avoid the need for LPC review.
The contractor agreed to go back to the funding agency and discuss the project
o
further.
Updated Contact List:
Damon Rallis, Administrative Assistant, passed around the
commission’s contact list for updating and will make the list available at the next
meeting.
Historic Lighthouses:
Commissioner Webb presented a list of lighthouses within the
town’s jurisdiction along with the dates that they were added to the National Registry.
Based on the information, Damon Rallis explained that all of the lighthouses, with
o
the exception of Horton Point Light (which is on the town’s landmark registry),
were not automatically added to the registry at the time of its creation.
He further noted that the only way to add these lighthouses to the registry (and
o
placing them under the LPC’s jurisdiction) would be through voluntary request or
town board action.
CPF Funds for Historic Preservation:
Commissioners Surchin and Harper led a
continued discussion of the possible use of Community Preservation Fund monies for
historic preservation.
Floating Zone Legislation for Historic Church Structures/Sacred Heart:
Commissioners presented updates on the status of both.
