The town of Hopkinton has been besieged by Buildings/Developers that have pu=
rchased existing homes predetermined to be historically relevant and proceed=
ed to remove major sections of the structure under the premise of structural=
integrity rather than submit to our Demolition Delay bylaw=2E Several of th=
ese properties now bear no resemblance to the original structure and in all =
cases are larger in scale and proportion than the existing structure=2E
This has led to a discussion between our Building Inspectional Services, Tow=
n Counsel and the Historical Commission regarding the definition of "Demolit=
ion"=2E
Are there any communities that have a comprehensive definition of demolition?=
Any advice about how to deal with this issue is welcomed=2E

?Hello,? ? ?I was hoping someone might have knowledge of a way for a private=
group to purchase a Historic building that is currently abandoned and owned=
by the town=2E ?( still trying to save the hold schoolhouse)? The town has =
suggested they would sell the building=2E However my understanding of municp=
al?guidelines is that the building would have to go to an RFP and under seal=
ed bids others with more money might buy the building and may not be interes=
ted in keeping the historic structure=2EIs there a way to do this working wi=
th the town directly? ?any suggestions welcomed=2E
