MINUTES

Present were: John Greene, Mel Phaff, John Stack, Ralph Williams,
Peg Murphy, Kathleen Sorrell and Bob Hefner.
Bob Hefner discussed historic districts with the Commission. He has
been involved with historic districts since 1986. The Village of East
Hampton has passed a Preservation Law. He explained to the Commission
the procedure for historic districts. The property owners had a lot of
input in writing the laws for the historic district, that was created.
Our inventory needs to be updated. Ralph - suggested that we start
in the areas that are interested in becoming an historic district such as
in Orient and Oregon Road where interest has been shown.
Tom Samuels spoke to the Commission regarding a house at 1710 Skunk
Lane in Cutchogue. The owner's name is Suzanne Hooper. She is
restoring the back section. He is trying to maintain the architecture of the
house. A motion was made by Ralph Williams and seconded by John Stack
that the Commission write a letter to the Building Department giving its
endorsement of the restoration. All were in favor.
The Commission reviewed the site plans of the 1670 House. It is on the
SPLVA list. They have to get a variance, as the size is more than
60 feet. This further destroys the historic nature of a historic building.
A motion was made by Ralph Williams and seconded by John Stack to have
John Greene send a letter. All were in favor.
Update of Code Committee meeting - The members who attended were en-
couraged. Councilman Moore is looking to the Commission for input.

Oregon Road - Kathleen Sorrell has done a lot of work. There are
10 or 12 properties that are interested in Oregon Road becoming an

Gary Laub's House - The DEC is coming to his property on 1
February 16th. He would like to create an Ackerly Pond Historic District.
Kathleen Wolff-Hardman application - Mel will see her tomorrow and make
arrangements with her to have the members of the Commission visit the
house.
