(b) Advisory review conference. Upon receipt of an application from the building official, the commission shall consider the extent to which the proposed alteration or demolition may be consistent or inconsistent with the purpose and goals of this chapter and the criteria described in section 26B-32.

The commission shall transmit its concerns and recommendations to the permit applicant at the time such request is made, and the commission and the permit applicant shall use such conference to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution of the commission's concerns. If the commission determines, either with or without a conference, that the proposed alteration or demolition will not adversely affect the purpose and goals of this chapter, the commission shall inform the building official of such a determination, and the application shall be evaluated strictly on its merits under village building codes and regulations.
(c) Time for review.

(2) Upon receipt of such notice, and notwithstanding any determination of the commission, the building official shall evaluate the application strictly on its merits under village building codes and regulations.
(d) Extension of time for advisory review.
(1) Any delay in conducting an advisory review conference resulting from an applicant's inability or failure to attend any conference shall extend the time before which such applicant can conclude its participation in the advisory review process.
(2) In addition to any other extension, upon request of the commission and written notice to the permit applicant, the board of trustees may consider and grant an extension of the time for review of an application for a demolition permit not exceeding an additional 30 days if the board determines that the commission's efforts to preserve a structure, building, object, site or area having honorary status will promote the public welfare without causing undue hardship on the permit applicant.
