About the Board
The Town of Southampton Landmarks and Historic Districts Board was formed in 1998 Pursuant to Southampton Town Code Chapter 330, Article XXVIII. The Landmarks and Historic Districts Board consists of nine town residents appointed by the Town Board with experience in architecture, architectural history, archaeology, local history, law, historic preservation, and/or real estate. All board members have demonstrated significant interest in and commitment to historic preservation and have interests in historic, cultural, and architectural development within the Town of Southampton. Board members serve a three-year term and may serve for more than one term. The Town Board annually selects the chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary.
The official duties and responsibilities of the Landmarks and Historic Districts Board include:
- Conducting surveys of significant historic, architectural and cultural landmarks and historic districts within the town
- Recommending designation of significant historic, architectural and cultural landmarks and the establishment of historic districts to the Town Board
- Increasing public awareness of the value of historic, cultural and architectural preservation by developing, implementing and participating in public education programs
- Making recommendations to the Town Board concerning the donation or acquisition of facade easements, development rights or other interests in real property
- Making recommendations to the Town Board concerning the utilization of state or private funds to promote the preservation of landmarks and historic districts within the town
- Recommending acquisition of a landmark structure to the Town Board where the structure’s preservation is essential and where private preservation is not feasible
- Making recommendations to the Town Board regarding staff and professional consultants necessary to assist the Board
- Engaging in opportunities for professional development
- Approving or disapproving applications for Certificates of Appropriateness
The Board reviews demolition and construction permit applications which are submitted through the Town Building Department, for structures built before 1941 or those that are recognized historic resources. In addition, the Board also reviews and comments on subdivision applications and other proposed development when requested by the Town Planning Department or Zoning Board of Appeals. A Cultural Resources Sub-Committee of the board has also been established to provide review and input for archaeological surveys submitted to the town.
