Pre-Submission Conference
Richard Gilloly, on behalf of Scofield, 2355 Village Lane, Orient (SCTM# 1000-26.-1-
13) for a proposed roof replacement to an accessory building.
o Commissioners previously denied a request to replace the existing metal roof with
green asphalt shingles.
o Mr. Gilloly brought asphalt samples to the meeting and again asked that the
commission consider allowing asphalt to be used, based on the fact that Mr.
Scofield’s insurance company would not accept the metal roof materials because
they were not state code compliant for wind resistance.
o Commissioner Harper reminded Mr. Gilloly that the issue was not metal versus
asphalt and said that he would consider voting for other roof materials such as
wood or synthetic materials.
o Commissioner Harper checked online and found that the metal shingles were, in
fact, hurricane rated and asked that Mr. Gilloly provide the commission with
information from the insurance company and the manufacturer regarding wind
resistance requirements.
Mark Kafaga on behalf of AW LLC, 640 Skippers Lane, Orientt (SCTM# 1000-24.-
1-10).). Additions and alterations to an existing single family dwelling on a landmarked
property.
o This was the second time that the project had come before the commission and the
newest plans, according to Mr. Kafaga, reflected recommendations of commission
members from a previous pre-submission conference.
o All present agreed that they generally liked the project as presented and Damon
Rallis agreed to schedule a public hearing on the project for the May meeting.
Jeff Shayne, 20 Vincent Street, Orient (SCTM# 1000-26.-1-6). Pool fence.
o Mr. Shayne did not show up for his pre-submission conference.
Joan and Dan Sweeney, 4595 Skunk Lane, Cutchogue (SCTM# 1000-103.-6-3).

New Business
Commissioner Webb announced that Commissioner Harper had been selected to take part
in a program, sponsored by the Victorian Society in America, to study the architecture of
Newport Rhode Island. Commissioner Webb noted that this was particularly important
because the retreat/workshop was usually reserved for architects, but Commissioner
Harper was chosen to participate. Those present congratulated Mr. Harper on being
chosen.
