A. Manner Of Consent: In the event that the commission receives a completed application for a historic district, each owner of record of each site in the proposed district shall be sent written notice of same in accordance with subsection 12-1-4C1a of this title. If a site in the proposed district is owned by more than one owner of record, each owner will be notified of the application and must submit a signed consent form for the site. The forms for such consent shall be prepared in a manner that enables the village to verify whether the person submitting the consent is the owner of record, while keeping the owner's name separate from the owner's indication of whether or not the owner consents to the designation. (Ord. O-21-08, 5-27-2008)
B. Effect Of Consent: No historic district shall be designated by the village without affirmative written consent to such designation by the owners of record of more than fifty percent (50%) of the sites within the proposed district. However, the village shall not be required to designate any proposed district merely because of the affirmative written consent to such designation by the owners of record of more than fifty percent (50%) of the sites within the proposed district. (Ord. O-1-06, 1-9-2006)
