A.
An application for a certificate of appropriateness is necessary
for all new construction on any existing lot or lots, including window
replacements, paint color changes and any construction, alteration,
removal or demolition of a structure affecting the exterior appearance
of any structure, including appurtenances within the Historic District.
A certification of appropriateness is required before the issuance
of a building permit.
B.
An applicant seeking a certificate of appropriateness may request
a preapplication conceptual conference with the HDC.
Applications for certificates of appropriateness must be filed
in person to the Building Official. Applications must be signed by
the property owner and applicant. Applications must be accompanied
by all documentation reasonably necessary to evaluate the proposal,
including photographs, drawings, plans, or other information as requested
by the HDC or Building Official. Three sets of all application documents,
including the application form and all plans and other data, must
be filed.
Applications shall be reviewed for completeness by the Building
Official. Incomplete applications shall be returned to the applicant
by the Building Official within seven working days of receipt. Complete
applications, together with all maps, plans and other data, shall
be accepted by the Building Official and forwarded to the HDC. Acceptance
of an application does not preclude the HDC from requesting additional
information which it determines to be necessary.
