WHEREAS, Chairman Grathwohl has served the commission with dedication, integrity and enthusiasm. WHEREAS, the commission hereby acknowledges his service with grateful appreciation and looks forward to his continued service as a valued member. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that the Southold Town Landmarks Preservation Commission accepts, with regret, the resignation of James Grathwohl as Chair of the Southold Town Landmark Preservation Commission. RESULT: ADOPTED [UNANIMOUS] MOVER: Anne Surchin, Commissioner SECONDER: Gary Parker, Commissioner AYES:Webb, Garretson, Harper Dear Commissioners, I apologize for the delay in sending this meeting reminder to you, but a combination of my familiar health challenges and computer hick-ups coupled with the crazy weather have kept me from traveling to Cutchogue so i could attend our regular monthly LPC meeting. I appreciate Jamie being there to chair the meeting --again. Because this scene seems to be happening quite regularly, I've asked Jamie to take my chairman's position and I will continue as a regular member whenever i can. I regret having to do this, but very much appreciate both his support and yours. I appreciate your concern about the difference in our "Landmarks" versus the Town's "Historic" designation of our Commission and the code that governs our work. Evidently there is quite a legal effort to change the code to Landmarks Preservation. Damon will continue to research the change with the Town attorney and Town clerk, but feels the Town Board will not make the change. On the updated LPC Contact List you probably noticed that Jamie's cell phone number is incorrect. The last digit should be 4, not 9. 1 trust the new floating zone legislation will help preserve our Town's valuable churches. Ted's efforts on listing the town's lighthouses as landmarks on our registry is very commendable. Also, I urge Anne and Robert to continue to press for a motion to the Town Board to approve making monies from the Community Preservation Fund available for historic preservation projects as Southampton does. Most important is pressing ahead with our Ben Franklin Mile Marker project as the major activity of the Town's 375th anniversary celebration. We are cooperating with the 375th committee as it is also planning a Franklin-related event in May. Zack Studenroth advises that he may have found financial support. A meeting of that committee is currently planned for Feb. 20, but may have to be postponed. As you can see, I remain very interested and committed to the fine work of the LPC. I trust I'll be able to join you as often as possible. If I can be of assistance, please contact me by e-mail or phone (703-689-2596. Thanks again for your concern and support.
