(A) Pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. § 29-406, there shall be a 90-day waiting period before a permit to demolish any structure located in the town may be issued. The 90-day waiting period shall commence upon the filing of a demolition permit application with the Building Department.
(B) The applicant for a demolition permit must install, within seven business days of submitting the application, a sign provided by the building department, upon submission of a $200 deposit, on the front wall of the structure, or such other location as directed by the Building Official. The sign must remain in place until such time that the waiting period has expired.
(C) Within seven days of the filing of the application, the Building Official shall determine if the structure proposed for demolition is included in the historic property inventory, as it may be amended from time to time. If the structure is included in the inventory, the Building Official shall notify the Historic Properties Commission in writing within seven business days of such determination. If the structure is not included in the inventory, the Building Official may issue the permit forthwith.
(D) Upon notification as set forth above, the Commission shall review the application at its next scheduled meeting. The Commission may waive the balance of the waiting period or may determine that the waiting period must remain in effect. The Commission shall provide notice of its decision to the applicant and the Building Official in writing within seven business days of said decision.
