Box 1179, Southold, NY 11971 July 21, 2016 Dear Mr. Garretson, As per your-request, I am submitting to the Southold Town Historic Preservation Commission, a re-review of the application for the Landmark Status of the 1674 Joshua Hobart House located on 2500 Hobart Road, Southold, NY 11971. The Davis family looks forward to having this status applied so as to keep the integrity of this structure remain intact for generations to come. Thank you for the opportunity to carry this out.

As per my conversation with you, I will be updating this application with additional notes and observations. I am my mom's caretaker, so getting everything done takes some time. There are some primary issues regarding the Hobart House and its upkeep that need attention. The basement underpinnings need to be reinforced and there could be some settling fo the foundation (hence the floors on both stories have settled improperly over the last two hurricanes). All the rear dormer storm windows need replacing. The rear porch also needs to be readjusted because of its settling properties. There is an original poured concrete bulkhead that needs reinforcement. This place has a place in my heart and all those who have come through it. We have done all we can to this point to maintain it and look forward to its preservation for the next 100 years. My mother has spent the better part of her life tending to the lot and she also knows this particular location should not be subject to the types of development occurring in the area. I look forward to hearing from you. Sin , J vis 631-765- 35 631-276-5 17 FRim j! �DMr. Damon Rallis MAY 2 7 2415 . Historic Preservation Commission Town Hall P.O.
