A. No repair, rehabilitation, reconstruction, restoration, improvement or signage involving more than twenty percent of any individual building facade of any local landmark or significant property viewable from a street shall be initiated, nor shall any building permit be issued for such work, until the commission is notified of the proposed work, including a description of the scope of work, and the conditions of subsection B of this section are met. Said twenty percent shall be based upon the total footprint of any building facade viewable from any portion of any street, or streets, adjacent to the significant property as measured in linear feet. Work under this subsection shall not be structured through the execution of multiple projects designed with the apparent intention to avoid said twenty percent.

After review, the commission shall advise the applicant in writing of any recommendations it has regarding the proposed work. The recommendations of the commission regarding items covered by subsection A of this section as to significant properties shall be advisory, shall not be binding upon the owner, and the proposed work may proceed upon the occurrence of the earlier of either the expiration of the thirty day period or receipt of the recommendations.
C. Upon request of an owner or the commission, the commission shall schedule (and the owner shall attend) a meeting to consider and discuss proposed work regarding items covered by subsection A of this section. Such meetings shall not be subject to the requirements of section 13-1-8 of this chapter.
D. Demolition of a significant property as designated on the significant properties survey shall be delayed for a period of not more than six (6) months for significant properties that are not zoned in the PRI Public, Recreational and Institutional District, and not more than twelve (12) months for significant properties that are zoned in the PRI Public, Recreational and Institutional District, following the commission's receipt of an application to the village for a demolition permit and a public hearing regarding the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness for such proposed demolition shall be held pursuant to subsection 13-1-8B of this chapter.
