(a) Upon denying a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Board shall impose a waiting period of at least thirty days, but not to exceed six (6) months from the date of disapproval, during which time the Board shall negotiate with the applicant to develop a compromise proposal. The first meeting between Board and applicant shall be held within thirty (30) days from the date of disapproval and at least every forty-five (45) days thereafter. If a compromise is accepted by both parties, the Board may issue a Certificate of Appropriateness.
(b) If the applicant fails to meet with the Board in good faith, at the time(s) specified, then the Board's denial of the application will stand.
(c) In the case of applications for demolition or moving, if, after holding such good faith meetings in the waiting period specified by the Board, the Board determines that failure to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness will create a substantial hardship to the applicant and that such Certificate may be issued without substantial detriment to the public welfare and without substantial derogation from the purposes of this Code, then and in such an event, the Board shall issue the Certificate of Appropriateness.
