of Stowe 3-12-1984 by Ord. No.
671 (Ch. 4, Part 2, of the 1993 Code of Ordinances).
Amendments noted where applicable.]
From and after the effective date hereof, it shall be illegal
to erect, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate or otherwise alter
or change the facade of any building situated on the Township of Stowe
street known as "Broadway Avenue" in that section of Broadway lying
between the intersection of Broadway and Sixth Street and the intersection
of Broadway and Ninth Street, except as permitted by this chapter;
it further being understood that the section of Broadway hereinabove
described shall be referred to as "the project area" in this chapter.
The terms of this chapter shall not apply to any building in
the project area occupied solely for single-family or two-family residence.
No facade in the project area shall be erected, altered, rehabilitated,
changed, constructed or reconstructed unless the same shall be done
to comport aesthetically with the renovations of facades as heretofore
done and made in the project area pursuant to a grant received by
the Broadway Development Corporation from the County of Allegheny,
said facades aesthetically being architecturally designated as "turn-of-the-century"
construction so as to give the appearance of architecture and construction
in vogue of that decade of the 19th century beginning January 1, 1890,
and ending December 31, 1899.
From and after the effective date of this chapter, no work undertaken
pursuant to the terms of this chapter shall be done or made until
a permit for said work shall have been received from the Building
Inspector of the Township of Stowe pursuant to any and all other ordinances
of the Township of Stowe regulating building, renovation, rehabilitation
or the like.
