I am a Southampton Village resident that has been in the architecture/interior design business since 1990. I am interested in advocating for a higher quality of architecture throughout the Village and documenting the history of properties surviving, endangered and no longer existing. I also blog for Patch-Southampton (www.southampton.patch.com). PLEASE NOTE: I do all my own research and try my best to be accurate. I welcome any and all input and corrections at all times.

Demolition permits should expire one month after they are issued if work has not begun.
For the criteria that evaluates whether or not a structure is "contributing" to include more than the current five line items, specifically: if it is within 150 feet of an historic district.
A mandatory one-year delay before the demolition of anything more than 50 years old in order to be sure that the village is not losing an historic resource and to exhaust every possibility for that structure to be adaptively reused, relocated, or similar.
That neglect of structures to the point that they fall down or are no longer able to be rehabilitated constitute "Demolition by Neglect" resulting in fines and other consequences.
Alternate (stand by/fill in) ARB board members.
Board members that are specifically qualified to hold their positions.
An architectural consultant to the board.
Codes to be implemented mandating consequences for illegal demolition to owners, architects, and builders (in progress).
Better written codes to give a qualified board more aesthetic authority/power.
Separate preservation and architectural review boards.
Broader radius for neighbor notifications. Copies of site plans and elevations included in notifications. Instructions on what to do if you have issues with what is being proposed.
A public segment for general questions and answers on each hearing's agenda.
That it be much more difficult to tear down any structure.
Elimination of the code that says if a structure is not visible from a public right of way, it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review.
