4. Status of Lester-Storrs House - The commission inspected this house.
There are a lot of interesting features; however, it was felt from the
information at hand, it doesn't meet the criteria of a designated land-
mark. The commission felt the owner should take more responsibility
of finding out the background by checking the property titles in
Riverhead. There is a history here but it is not obvious. John
Cronin suggested that a letter be written to the owner asking him
to research and establish the personages associated with this house.
A motion was made by John Cronin and seconded by Bob Kassner
that a letter be written to the owner encouraging him to do further
research. 4 were in favor and 3 were against.
5. Fort Corchaug - Deborah Winsor sent in the commission's response
to the DEIS. Melissa Spiro felt the commission's response to the
DEIS was very good. All responses will be sent to the owner. The
owner will then give his replies to these letters to the Planning Board.

get Irwin Garsten of Garsten Motors to fill out an application
