In the event the applicant makes no attempt to discuss with the Commission alternatives to save the subject property or to comply with Commission criteria for construction, alteration or demolition, the Commission may appeal to the Council for 1 additional stay of construction, reconstruction, alteration or demolition. Such Commission appeal shall be filed in writing with the City Clerk prior to the expiration of the original 6-month delay period and shall be acted on by the Common Council within 30 days after receipt of the written appeal. The Common Council may deny such appeal or grant such appeal for an additional delay period of not more than 6 months. The burden of showing that the applicant has not attempted to discuss alternatives with the Commission shall be upon the Commission. Upon expiration of any additional delay period, the Commission shall issue a statement of waiver and the Building Inspector may issue the permit as requested.
