HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMNIISSION <br />PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT <br />November 21, 2016 <br />Hello Commission! <br />Since last meeting: <br />Code Enforcement hearings <br />913 Leland Repaired by Owner <br />917 Leland Postponed for proper service <br />655 River -Repaired by owner. Remaining repairs by April <br />8 property site visits for environmental reviews <br />Successful Southhold awards. We may want to look into a personal/portable <br />amplification system that we could use for both tours and events such as these. <br />Most of the work being performed is landscaping and completion of COAs from earlier <br />this year. Everyone trying to beat the weather. <br />I do have a request, in the future when the Commission votes to deny a Certificate of <br />Application for work that has already been completed, I would like to suggest a time <br />period for when the owner has to revert the changes made. We have three properties <br />where work and or not approved materials have been completed or installed that are just <br />hanging in limbo. Even if the official ruling suggests language such as: " The HPC would <br />like this removed or replaced within 120 days or the HPC has the right to pursue legal <br />action" I refer to legal counsel for their expertise, but something said ON RECORD <br />WITH A DATE or timeframe would give some guidance and some teeth. <br />Also, the addition at the guesthouse located at 325 W Northshore is not in scale with the <br />neighborhood. The drawing that was approved was a little deceptive. Not all of the <br />dimensions were listed clearly and may have been misinterpreted. The new addition has a <br />height greater than that of the houses behind and around it. See provided photographs. <br />Happy Thanksgiving! <br />Steve Szaday <br />Preservation Specialist <br />
