The petitioner shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Town Board, that there has been a substantial change in one (1) or more of the factors set forth in § 198-40.1 and/or that the designation has created an unreasonable hardship. Withdrawal of a designation, in whole or in part, shall be reserved for rare instances where change or deterioration, not attributable to any deliberate conduct on the part of the owner, his agent, or occupier of the property, has made continued historic designation inconsistent with the purpose of this article and/or the designation, in whole or in part, has worked an unreasonable hardship upon such owner. Failure to maintain the property shall be deemed a self-created hardship.
[Amended 7-5-2005 by L.L. No. 27-2005]

(2) 
The property can not be adapted for any other use permitted by the Zoning Ordinance in the zoning district in which the property is located, whether by the current owner or by a purchaser, which would result in a reasonable return; and
(3) 
It must be demonstrated that reasonable good faith efforts to find a purchaser interested in acquiring and preserving the property have failed.
C. 
A petition for revocation of a historic designation shall be signed by the owner and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk with an processing fee of two hundred fifty ($250) dollars. The petition shall be filed with a copy of the current deed to the property and copies of any rental agreements concerning the property in effect within three (3) years prior to the application date. The owner may submit such other documentation as he/she deems necessary or relevant. The petition shall be on file in the Office of the Huntington Town Clerk for public inspection during business hours. If the property is located within a historic district a copy of the petition and all attachments thereto shall be mailed by the owner/petitioner to the owners of all properties located within the district by regular mail at the addresses shown on the assessment rolls of the Town. In every case, the owners of properties lying within two hundred (200) feet of the exterior boundary lines of the subject parcel or district, if the property is within a district, shall also be notified in the same manner by the petitioner. A copy of the notice and proof of mailing shall be filed in the Office of the Huntington Town Clerk by the petitioner within five (5) business days of the date of filing.
D. 
The Town Clerk shall forward a copy of each petition filed as in § 198-40.3D. The Commission shall consider the petition and may hire such consultants it deems advisable, upon the consent of the Town Board. The costs of such consultant shall be borne by the Commission.

G. 
In determining whether or not to revoke the designation, in whole or in part, the Town Board shall consider the factors in § 198-40.1; the testimony of the petitioner and petitioner's experts; and the findings and recommendations of the Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission's report shall be advisory in nature and the final decision is reserved to the Town Board.

In evaluating an application for a certificate of approval to alter, repair, renovate or change the exterior or scenic appearance or design of any historic landmark, or any open space or structure within a historic district, the Town Board shall consider the purpose of this article; the testimony of the property owner or purchaser and his/her experts; the report of the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission; and the advice, if any, of the Town Historian. It shall also give consideration to any one (1) or more of the following factors:
(1) 
The impact of the proposed change on the special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the historic landmark and the impact, if any, to the surrounding historic district, if within a district;
(2) 
Whether the proposed action is compatible with the special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the landmark and whether the proposed action is compatible with the surrounding historic district, if within a district;
(3) 
The general design, character and appropriateness of the proposed action to the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(4) 
The scale of the proposed construction or alteration in relation to the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(5) 
Whether the proposed construction or alteration is visually compatible with the textures, materials and colors of the facade and roof of the existing building or structure, and its proportion and configuration;
(6)

(7) 
Any other factor which in the opinion of the Town Board is relevant and/or necessary.
H. 
In evaluating an application for a certificate of approval to raze or demolish, in whole or in part, any structure which has been designated a historic landmark or which is located within a historic district, the Town Board shall consider the purpose of this article; the testimony of the property owner or purchaser and his/her experts; the report of the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission; and the advice, if any, of the Town Historian. It shall also give consideration to any one (1) or more of the following factors:

(3) 
Its structural condition and the economic feasibility of alternatives to the proposal. Consideration shall be given to whether deliberate or negligent conduct on the part of the owner, his agent, or occupier of such structure has contributed to its structural condition and/or physical deterioration, and whether the public health and safety would be benefitted by razing or demolishing the same;
(4) 
Its importance to the Town and the extent to which its special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value is such that its removal would be detrimental to the public interest or its retention would benefit the community;
(5) 
The legally-permitted use of the property and of the structures therein;
(6)

M. 
In every case where a certificate of approval has been granted by the Town Board or Historic Preservation Commission, the Director of Engineering Services shall issue a building permit or other approval, provided that the proposed work complies in all respects with the conditions and modifications imposed by the approving Board; the applicable provisions of the Codes of the State of New York; and the Code of the Town of Huntington. No work shall commence until a building permit and all other necessary approvals are issued by the Town of Huntington and any other agency having jurisdiction. A person or business entity who commences work, or causes and/or permits the work to be commenced, without the issuance of a building permit and all other necessary approvals shall be in violation of this chapter.
