[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay By law

[Marcia Starkey]

One point to remember is that the normal permit is for 6 months and only continues if work is commenced. If no work has been done, there has to be a new application. At least this is true in Greenfield.  Marcia Starkey, GHC

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.

Tewksbury Historical commission will present an article to next weeks town meeting extending

Demolition Delay By Law from 3 months to 6 months, Solicited advice form membership when

formulating article and received many helpful comments. We expect that the opposition in the debate, if

any will include something along the lines of "What can you do in 6 months that you can't do in 3 which

justifies holding up the property owner."  any thought would be appreciated. Thanks for this and prior help.
