Jamie Gar retson and Barbara Schnitzler attended as Commission Nominees. Scott Russell attended as Town Liaison. The February minutes were approved. Jim said that the Commission has received a lockable four-drawer file cabinet from the town to store,records, applications, standards, etc. and a suitable place needs to be identified. Mel.picked up the new "Landmark" plaques and has given them to the Town Clerk's office. Jim reported on-his Feb. 27 meeting with the Native American and Colonial Graves Protection Inter-Tribal Historic Preservation Task Force in Shinnecock. He stated that he agreed to keep lines open with the Town regarding Indian sites, relics, relocation, and the like. Scott said that, if and when, any addi- tional action will be required, it should be the Town's responsibility and not solely of the Preservation Commission. The Commission discussed the article on Historic Preservation in the March 3rd edition of the Suffolk Times in which Jim was interviewed regarding the new law and agreed it was hard to understand what applied to Southold and what to the others towns. It was recommended-to proceed with a series of informational articles in the Suffolk Times to inform the Town exactly what the law is and what it means. Jim provided a sample of�the revised logo for the Commission and it was agreed that it is acceptable. Jim will be making arrangements with the data processing department to have it scanned and included on,the Commission paperwork. Jim briefly advised the Commission of his recent meeting with_Scott Russell which included items such as, changing the name to the Landmarks Preser- vation Commission, the Commission's plan for 2006, updating the town regis ter of Landmarks, the SPLIA list, a Building Department representative and the like. (Note: Scott mentioned during the Mar. 21 Commission meeting that Damon Rallis would be a good candidate for the Building Department repre- sentative.) The new commissioner appointments have been postponed, but Scott men- tioned he will try to have it on the March 28, 2006 Town Board agenda. Larry discussed some items, which the committee feels should be considered exempt from needing a COA as well as several items that could be handled under administrative review. He also mentioned that presently the Trustees have such items in the Town Code under Chapter 97. These items need to be agreed upon by the committee-and then submitted to the Commission for review. Once a final decision has be made, they need to be presented to the Town Attorney and then to the Town Board for approval. The committee will be discussing these items further and present the recommendations at a fu- ture Commission meeting. -Scott mentioned that the law should be "incentive- based" so that property owners would want to maintain their Landmarks and others have their building landmarked. Jim briefly discussed his presentation to be presented on March 25 for the Oysterponds Historical Society. He will be making copies available for the Commissioners and for use in-future presentations by the Commission. The next meeting is scheduled for 3 PM on Tuesday, April 18, 2006.
