LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Minutes of the July 24, 1986 meeting
The Southold Town Landmark Preservation Commission met Thursday,
July 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Town Hall. Present were John Stack, Ralph
Williams, William Peters, Joy Bear and a visitor, Gary Williams .
After the minutes were read and approved, John Stack reported on a
meeting with Frank Murphy on July 18. At this meeting the Supervisor agreed
to appoint summer internes to make nine sets of duplicates of the recently
completed first section of the Southold Town Inventory (see June, 1986
Landmark minutes for a description of the inventory and the Landmark
Commission's plans for its use . )
Joy Bear had been instructed to prepare the receptacles which will hold
the nine copies . These were ready on the night of the meeting, and were
examined by the commissioners . Each of the nine boxes held 23 folders of
the areas inventoried. Each folder had key numerals to make locating its
contents easier. Also page numerals had been added to the original
inventory to facilitate re-asseinbly as the files are used . (There are 1,300
pages in this section of the inventory. ) At this time the inventory is
ready to be duplicated by the summer internes . Members of the commission
will be on hand to help the internes get started without undue confusion.
The four maps that locate the houses and sites in the inventory are too
large to be duplicated by any North Fork facility. John Stack has arranged
that Barbara Van Liew, who is in charge of the inventory, will take -her _
original maps to Smithtown Blueprint & Graphics, 14 Karl,Avenue, Smithtown,
to have nine sets made. This will assure sharper prints for the maps . One
set will be placed in each of the nine boxes, When all duplicating is
finished, the sets will be be placed in Southold ''Town's five libraries, the
assessor's office, the Historian's office, the Landmark Commission's file
and to SPLIA. The original copy will be filed in Albany, N.Y.
John Stack has a purchase order from Judith Terry for a register and
for printing 300 parchment certificates . The register will hold the letters
signed by home owners who agree to having their houses designated as
landmarks . The certificates will be awarded to the owners of landmark houses .
The Landmark Commission is changing its meeting date from the fourth
Thursday of the month to the fourth Wednesday. Thur-,s.day, has proven to be a
busy night, and our assigned quarters have been too small to hold the
commission members and visitors .
The next projects the Landmark Commission plans to undertake will
include the writing of a book, "How Old Is Your House?" which will be
illustrated with Southold homes and details, and also publishing a book
of the many homes the Landmark Commission members have personally documented
in detail, and photographed, at the request of the owners . The commission
also plans to produce slide shows, with scripts, on such subjects as hovito
recognize colonial and Georgian style houses in Southold Town, and other
related feature films, which will serve to acquaint people with Southold
Town's treasures .
