was away.
Jim Grathwohl spoke to the Commission and said that we can expect a grant,
possibly at the end of April, for the Whitaker House.
Supervisor Horton said that he hoped to get a better response from the Code
Committee regarding a law on historic preservation. John explained to Supervisor
Horton what the Landmark Preservation commission has been doing over the past
years. Supervisor Horton said that Bill Moore should show the Town Board the
law he has been working on and turn it over to John Romanelli and the Code
Committee. The Supervisor believes that historic preservation is important to the
Town. He also felt that the law would have to be sensitive to people who didn't
have the means for restoring their homes. Jim Grathwohl said that businesses in
the historic districts would get tax credits for restoring their buildings. Supervisor
Horton suggested that the Commission invite John Romanelli to come to our next
meeting. He also felt that the Commission should get on the agenda for a Town
Board work session and give the Town and update. Mel suggested that members
of the Commission should do a presentation for the Town Board.
The Commission discussed two requests for renovations. Kathy Tazwell Smith
wants to do a renovation to her barn. The Commission will approve this.
The Commission also reviewed the plans for Quintessentials Bed and Breakfast in
East Marion. This also was approved.
Zangaras Application—Mel will speak to them, as they are neighbors of his. He
will make arrangements for an inspection by the Commission.
Herb Adler has been working with the SPLIA list. He felt that the actual property
card file should be stamped.
Peg Murphy spoke to the Commission about the barn on the Whitaker property.
It is falling down. Peg will approach the Historical Society about the barn.
The next meeting of the Landmark Preservation Commission is scheduled for
Friday, April 19, 2002 at 4:00 p.m.
