Un s WAO Landmark Minutes
March 18 1993
1. The meeting started at 7:30. Members present were Bob Bayley, Bob Kassner, Valarie Marvin,
Bill Peters, John Stack and Ralph Williams. Harry Fagan is still in the sunny? south.
2. Last months minutes were reviewed and accepted.
3. Bob Bayley reported on the Boards reaction to the Preservation award. It was decided to try to
find buildings in different categories, such as creative reuse, restoration of public buildings as well
as homestead restoration. Members are asked to bring in photos of buildings to be considered by
the next meeting. A blank certificate form was displayed, courtesy of Bob Long. Bob Bayley will
draw-up a suggested format with seal etc. and bring in for approval April 15th.
4. Valarie Marvin not only studied our local law but brought in copies of suggested changes to
the definitions of the law. This is a fine piece of work and members will study their copies and re-
port back in April. When all agree on the changes, they will be submitted to the Town Board for
their approval.
5. Ralph Williams reported on Mr. Mancini's request for an in depth study of his house. Since Mr.
Mancini is only here on weekends a date will have to be set. When this is done Ralph will call
members.
6. The request of Mr. Nathan B. Seidman that his house in Orient be considered for Register in-
clusion was discussed. Bob Bayley will set a date with Mr. Seidman and call members. This will
most likely be on a Sunday afternoon.
7. A report on the ADF (Architecture&Design Forum) was made by John Stack. The Forum
runs some fine programs. Bob Bayley is a member and will keep us informed about their pro-
grams.
8. A conversation with John Halsey of Peconic Land Trust was discussed. The material he sent re
easements was turned over to Valarie who will digest the legalese and report at the next meeting.
9 The National Trust for Historic Preservation , National Park Service and the National Al-
liance of Preservation Commissions requested we fill out a survey. The survey will be assessed
by the three sponsoring organizations and they will send us a copy of the results. This should be
an interesting piece of information.
10. We received material regarding The Rural New York Historic Preservation Grant Program..
Ralph will go over this material to see if we can benefit from this program.
11. By Town resolution Bob Bayley, Valarie Marvin and John Stack have been reappointed to the
Landmark Commission for another two years.
12. Under New Business Ralph submitted a copy of C. B. Moore's speech, Celebration of the
250th Anniversary of the formation of the Town and the Church of Southold, L.I.
August 27 1990. This speech is a storehouse of historical footnotes. We will ask that it be
copied for our use.
13. Our next meeting is scheduled for April 15 1993 at 7:30 PM
Submitted by:
John A. Stack Chairman.
