[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Hebron 6-16-1994 by Ord. No.
94-1; amended 10-5-2000; 1-5-2006; 5-1-2008. Subsequent amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent of this chapter to promote
the educational, cultural, economic and general welfare of the Town
of Hebron through the preservation and protection of historic properties
within the Town and to preserve and protect its architectural and
historical integrity.
The purpose of this chapter is to carry out
the provisions of General Statutes §§ 7-147p through
7-147y concerning historic properties, as amended, herein referred
to as the "Act."
A.
Establishment. An Historic Properties Commission is
hereby established which shall have such powers and limitations and
perform such functions as shall be prescribed under the General Statutes
and as provided in this chapter.
B.
Composition. The Commission shall consist of five
regular members and three alternate members, all of whom shall be
electors of the Town. All shall serve without compensation.
C.
Terms. The terms of the original members of the Commission
shall be such that the term of at least one regular member and one
alternate member shall expire each year. Their successors shall be
appointed for terms of four years for both regular and alternate members,
except that an appointment to fill a vacancy shall be for the duration
of the unexpired term.[1]
D.
Officers. Within 30 days after appointment of the
original members of the Commission, and annually thereafter, the regular
members shall meet and elect a Chairman and a Secretary.
E.
Appointment. Members shall be appointed within 30
days of the passage of this chapter. Appointments shall be made by
the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Hebron.
F.
Quorums. Three members of the Commission shall constitute
a quorum of the transaction of its business or the performance of
its functions, and the concurring vote of a majority of those constituting
a quorum shall be necessary for the adoption of any recommendation,
motions, or other acts of the Commission, except that the affirmative
vote of at least three members shall be necessary for the approval
of a certificate of appropriateness.
G.
Designation of alternates. When a member of the Commission
is unavailable to act at a particular time due to absence, sickness,
conflict of interest or other good reason, the Chairman shall designate
an alternate member to act in place of such member, choosing alternates
in rotation so that they shall act as nearly equal a number of times
as possible.
H.
Certificate of appropriateness; procedures. No building
or structure located within the boundaries of an historic property
shall be erected or altered until after an application for a certificate
of appropriateness as to exterior architectural features has been
submitted to and approved by the Historic Properties Commission. Application
for such certificates shall be processed in accordance with the requirements
of General Statutes §§ 7-147s through 7-147v, as the
same may from time to time be amended. The Commission shall keep a
permanent record of its resolutions, transactions and determinations
and of the votes of each member participating thereon.
I.
Adoption of rules. The Commission shall adopt rules of procedure which it deems necessary to carry out the intent of General Statutes §§ 7-147p through 7-147y and the intent expressed in § 224-1 above. The Commission shall adopt guidelines not inconsistent with the provisions of General Statutes §§ 7-147p through 7-147y, inclusive, to provide guidance to property owners as to factors to be considered in preparing an application for a certificate of appropriateness. Such guidelines shall not be such as to bind the Historic Properties Commission to any uniform or necessarily traditional styles throughout the properties but shall look both to the protection of the old and to the interest and distinctiveness of this community.
A.
Relationship to other commissions. The Commission
and other Town commissions and offices whose areas of concern may
overlap or affect each other shall maintain liaison for information
and coordination in matter with which the Commission may be dealing.
C.
Cooperation and coordination. The Commission may:
(1)
Provide information to the property owners and others
involving the preservation of the property;
(2)
Initiate planning and zoning proposals;
(3)
Cooperate with other regulatory agencies and civic
organizations and groups interested in historic preservation;
(4)
Comment on applications for zoning variances and special
exceptions where they affect an historic property;
(5)
Render advice on sidewalk construction and repair,
tree planting, street improvements and the erection or alteration
of public buildings not otherwise under its control where they affect
the historic property; and
(6)
Furnish information and assistance in connection with
any capital improvement program involving the historic property.
For the purpose of encouraging the responsiveness,
securing the support, and drawing on the resources of the owners of
historic properties and other interested residents of the area who
are not members of the Historic Properties Commission, and apart from
the provision in the Act for formal appeals from the Commission decisions
by aggrieved parties, and other than the required public hearings
by the Commission upon applications for certificates of appropriateness,
the Commission shall hold meetings with said owners and other interested
residents when such person makes a written request to the Commission
for such meeting to discuss matters of policy or other matters that
may be an issue between property owners and the Commission. The Commission
shall call meetings but in formulating policy shall be responsive
to the sentiments of the community insofar as its best judgment suggests
and the powers and limitations derived from the General Statutes permit.
Regulations and orders of the Commission issued
pursuant to the Act or to this chapter shall be enforced by the Zoning
Enforcement Officer.
