Regulation of construction, reconstruction, alteration and demolition.
(1) 
No owner or person in charge of a historic structure, historic site or structure within a historic district shall reconstruct, alter or demolish all or any part of such property or construct any improvement upon such designated property or properties or cause or permit any such work to be performed upon such property or demolish such property unless a certificate of appropriateness has been granted by the Plan Commission. Also, unless such certificate has been granted by the Commission, the Village Board shall not issue a permit for any such work.
(2) 
Upon filing of any application for a certificate of appropriateness with the Commission, the Commission shall approve the application unless:
(a) 
Proposed construction, reconstruction, exterior alteration, demolition or improvements fail to meet specific requirements outlined in Subsection D(2)(e) and (f) below.
(b) 
In the case of a designated historic structure or historic site, the proposed work would detrimentally change, destroy or adversely affect any exterior feature of the improvement or site upon which said work is to be done.
(c) 
In the case of the construction of a new improvement upon a historic site, or within a historic district, the exterior of such improvement would adversely affect or not harmonize with the external appearance of other neighboring improvements on such site or within the district.

In the case of any property located in a historic district, the proposed construction, reconstruction, exterior alteration or demolition does not conform to the purpose and intent of this section and the objectives and design criteria for said district.

Rehabilitation work on buildings shall not destroy the distinguishing qualities of the property and its environment. The removal or alteration of any historical material or architectural features should be held to a minimum, consistent with the proposed use.
(2) 
Deteriorated features should be repaired rather than replaced whenever possible. In the event that replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in visual quality. Repairs and replacements of missing features should be based on duplications of the original.
(3) 
New additions or alterations to buildings within the district shall be done in a manner to enhance the overall appearance of the buildings. Additions shall have a like appearance to the building they are attached to.
(4) 
No building within the district shall be razed without a certificate of appropriateness issued by the Plan Commission.

(6) 
Original brick surfaces may not be painted. All other surfaces may only be painted or stained with a color or hue that does not detract from the period setting of the district.
(7) 
Signs shall not dominate the building to which they are affixed. Signs that extend out from or are attached to the building may not be of a neon or fluorescent type, may not move or flash, and should be kept as simple as possible to help maintain the period setting of the district. A sign permit is required for any sign alteration.
(8) 
Awnings shall be limited to fabric construction of solid color which shall be of a permanent or roll-up nature and shall not detract from the period setting of the district.
(9) 
Vending machines shall not be placed outside of buildings or property within the Historic District.
F. 
Construction of new buildings within the district.

New construction should maintain the continuity of existing rows of buildings or help to reestablish this continuity where it has been lost. New buildings joining a row of other buildings should not be placed in front of or in back of the buildings adjoining it. New buildings shall be constructed to within 25% of the average height of existing adjacent buildings.
(2) 
The exterior covering of new buildings shall be of brick or natural wood siding only. Bricks should be of a reddish color and may not be painted. Natural wood sidings may only be stained or painted with a color or hue that does not detract from the period setting of the district.
(3) 
The facades of new buildings shall be rectangular in shape with proportions compatible to the proportions of adjacent buildings. Facades must have a solid wall space above the top story and have a cornice with or without a parapet. This form of architectural organization will be most effective if aligned with similar elements on adjacent buildings. New roofs should not extend above the false fronts, cornices, or parapets.
(4) 
Signs shall follow the rules outlined in Subsection E(7).
(5) 
Awnings shall be limited to fabric construction of solid color, which shall be of a permanent or roll-up nature and shall not detract from the period setting of the district.
(6) 
The interiors of new buildings shall be left to the discretion of the owner, as long as it does not interfere with the outward appearance of the building. The use of new buildings shall be governed by the regulations concerning commercial zones.
(7) 
Plans for construction of a new building within the district must receive a certificate of appropriateness.
G. 
Appeals. Should the Commission fail to issue a certificate of appropriateness due to the failure of the proposal to conform to the guidelines, the applicant may appeal such decision to the Village Board within 30 days. In addition, if the Commission fails to issue a certificate of appropriateness, the Commission shall, with the cooperation of the applicant, work with the applicant in an attempt to obtain a certificate of appropriateness within the guidelines of this section.
H.
