[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay By law

[Tristram Metcalfe 3]

Jay
Its fairly simple,, a 3 month delay is a pretty much worthless.
It could easily fit inside the normal process of design bidding  
financing permitting and start of demolition, which equals no delay.
We use 12 months which Many who want to demolish feel is easy enough  
to circumvent since the above process can easily become a year as  
well. 6 months delay is therefore still almost worthless.
