(A) The Review Board may advise and make recommendations to the applicant before acting on an application for a certificate of appropriateness.
(B) If an application for a certificate of appropriateness is approved by the Review Board, or is not acted on by the Review Board within 30 days after it is filed, a certificate of appropriateness shall be issued. If the certificate is issued, the application shall be processed in the same manner as applications for building or demolition permits required by the town if any are processed. If no building or demolition permits are required by the town, the applicant may proceed with the work authorized by the certificate.
(C) If the Review Board denies an application for a certificate of appropriateness within 30 days after it is filed, the certificate may not be issued. The Review Board must state its reason for the denial in writing, and must advise the applicant. An application that has been denied may not be processed as an application for a building or demolition permit and does not authorize any work by the applicant.
(D) The Review Board may grant an extension of the 30-day limit prescribed by divisions (B) and (C) above if the applicant agrees to it.
