SOUTHOLD TOWN LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION
March 26, 1986
The meeting came to order at 7:30 p.m. , March 26, 1986. -
Dorothy Redden, a visitor, asked to speak about Architectural Review
Boards, and the possibility that Southold Town will establish one. Ms.
Redden has done extensive research on the subject, and wanted to -enlist
the interest and help of the Commission in setting up such a board in
Southold Town. The Commission listened with interest but took no action
at the time .
Bill Peters turned in a list of nominations for houses to be considered
as Southold- Landmarks in 1986. John Stack asked other Commission-members
to compile -lists of houses in their-areas which-were candidates for
Landmark designation. The -lists were the subject of a work session at the
home of John Stack, -Grand Avenue, Mattituck, on Friday, April 11. -Joy Bear
was asked to bring to the work session the signed forms of owners who have
given permission to have their homes designated as landmarks.
Commissioners were reminded that these lists of suggested houses have
to be presented to the Town Board for their approval. After they are-- -
aceepted, registered letters are sent to all owners of- houses on the lists.
The letters ask for their signatures on -permission slips if they favor
having their houses placed on the Southold Town Landmark list.
The question came up as to whether we should add section, lot and
block numbers -to each house ,on the Landmark list. After some discussion it
was agreed that John Stack would as'--Supervisor Frank Murphy if this
could be done by Town employees . John Stack agreed to talk with Bob Long
about suggestions on the style and decoration of the certificates . -Bill
Peters said Mrs . Peters would be willing to do a limited amount of
calligraphy to beautify the certificates.
The Commissioners would like to be brought up to date on the progress
of our Southold Town-wide inventory of houses by NYSCA, partially funded
by NYSCA. Joy Bear was asked to see Jim McMahon for, this report.
