Exhibit B — Proposed New Chapter 165 Director, the proposal is of sufficient urgency to be considered for expedited review herein. Minor changes shall include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) The construction or placement of permitted accessory uses and structures as identified in Section 1135.02 that are located in the rear yard of residential property that are visible from the public right-of-way; and (2) Roofs, so long as the texture, color and the existing architectural style of the roof is not changed as a result. (b) Procedure. Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness which, in the opinion of the Planning and Development Director, propose minor changes may be expedited by the Landmarks Commission in lieu of full and formal review pursuant to Section 165.10; provided, however, that the Planning and Development Director shall, upon receiving and reviewing such application, give written notice to the Chair of the Landmarks Commission. The Landmarks Commission may by rule establish procedures for said Chair to review and respond to the Planning and Development Director. If the Chair, within seven days of the notice from the Planning and Development Director, notifies the Director that the proposal is not deemed a minor change and should be reviewed by the Commission pursuant to the provisions of Section 165. 10, then the Director shall refer the proposal to the Landmarks Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 165.14 DESIGN GUIDELINES. In principle, the Landmarks Commission adopts the U.S. Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings. These standards and guidelines are intended to give architects and owners design direction in accordance with this chapter. The Commission may approve and publish a separate design guidelines document consistent with these principles to illustrate appropriate preservation, rehabilitation, renovation and construction techniques for City Landmarks and Historic Districts. 165.15 APPEALS. To the extent that any decision, determination or other final action of the Commission or Council, as provided for in this chapter, taken following a public meeting substantially affects a property right of an applicant or other interested party, the action may be appealed by the applicant, the City, or such other interested party to the Court of Common Pleas pursuant to the provisions of Ohio R.C. Chapter 2506 no later than 30 days after the action or decision from which review is sought. 165.99 PENALTY. (a) Any person found violating any provision of this chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor offense and punished by a fine not to exceed five hundred dollars. Each day upon which a violation continues shall be considered for purposes of this section to be a separate offense. With the exception of Section 165.09(a), it is the intention to hold persons strictly liable for violation of this chapter. (b) In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, externally reconstructed, externally altered, added to or demolished in violation of this chapter, the City or any proper person, in addition to the remedy provided for in subsection (a) hereof, may institute an appropriate action or proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent such an unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, exterior alteration, addition or demolition. (c) The imposition of any penalty hereunder shall not preclude a City or any proper person from instituting any proper action or proceeding to require compliance with the provisions of this chapter and with administrative orders and determinations made hereunder.
