Council Minutes of 4/b/99 administrative set-up will require alterations to historical buildings or alterations to rte. buildings in historical districts, including demolition. Those proposals would need to be reviewed by the Landmarks Commission once the property owner or the project manager submits an application for a building permit. As it works now, it would simply go from the Building Department to the Planning Commission and then on up through the boards and commissions. This would simply go from the Building Department to the Landmarks Commission and then to the various boards and commissions. If the plan is acceptable as submitted, the Landmarks Commission would issue what is known as a "certificate of appropriateness," which is explained rather lengthily in the ordinance, then the project would proceed as ail projects normally would. Further administrative review would be required in the event that there was a disagreement by the Commission as to the appropriateness of this construction or project in the individual district. An entirely different set of hierarchy and controls are set forth if it actually involves demolition. There was a great deal of input from the Landmarks Commission members as well as Council. The meeting was rather lengthy and was very thorough, and it was quite helpful to get a lot of input as to what people's thoughts are about this issue. It is a work in progress because there are some things that need to be fine-tuned. An additional meeting will be scheduled sometime in April to further review the ordinance. Mr. Miller, reported on behalf of Mr. Nashar, chairperson of the Public Safety, Health & Welfare Committee: 1) The committee met on March 24 to discuss Ordinance 99-37.
