Design board approves Peach Farm (159 Road) rehabilitation into ADA‑accessible office space
Summary
Architect Alex Roman presented plans to rehabilitate the historic Peach Farm building near town hall into ADA‑accessible office space; the design review board reviewed the village attorney's written decision and approved the application by roll call.
The East Hampton Design Review Board on March 17 approved renovation work at the historic Peach Farm (159 Road) to convert the house near the town hall campus into ADA‑accessible office space.
Alex Roman of LKMA, the design firm, described the property as an early‑17‑ to late‑18‑century house that had been moved on site and previously not fully rehabilitated. Roman said the project continues an overall town hall campus plan to refurbish and repurpose historic structures for office use. He told the board the scope includes interior finish work, accessibility upgrades, and making the space more comfortable for office occupancy.
The board noted it had received a written decision from Village Attorney Tim Hill and confirmed members had reviewed the record. A motion to approve the application was made and seconded; the board then recorded approvals by roll call. Chair Robert Caruso, Vice Chair Kristen Corwin, Member Susan Davies and Member Lisa Larson were recorded as voting to approve.
Roman emphasized that the work is part of an ongoing town hall renovation program and focused on preservation and making the structure ADA accessible; no financial figures or construction schedules were provided in the transcript.
The board closed the item after the roll‑call vote. The transcript records the attorney's written decision as submitted and the motion to approve; the administrative record will identify any conditions or permits required before occupancy.
