[MassHistPres] Demo review procedures

[Anne Louro]

It really depends on the wording of your ordinance. If you are going to consider "partial" demolitions or significant features, it need to be spelled out in the ordinance. Many communities, like New Bedford that are reworking their demo ordinances, are learning from gaps that have existed in our own ordinances as well as others.

Hello,

I am making a general inquiry as to how other historical commissions deal with demolition reviews.? In Newton it has been the practice to determine architectural elements preferably preserved as in a column, wall, porch, or some other portion of a building.? As I understand it other communities usually determine?the entire building or structure preferably preserved and I am curious to hear peoples thoughts on that.

Thanks,


Brian lever?
