A. In the case of partial or complete natural demolition of a site within a historic district or of a landmark, the owner will be required to obtain a certificate of appropriateness from the commission prior to reconstruction. Although exact duplication of the previous building or structure may not be required, the exterior design of the property and its placement on the parcel shall be respectful of:
1. The exterior design of the structure prior to damage, and
2. The character of the historic district or surrounding structures.
B. This chapter does not modify or negate the existing zoning of any property in the village. Furthermore, nothing contained in this chapter relieves any person of the duty of complying with all other statutes, laws, ordinances, and regulations. Nor is anything in this chapter intended to amend the powers of any other regulatory body of the village. (Ord. 19-12-43, 1-13-2020)
