[MassHistPres] Demolition Delay Ordinance

[Frances Welson]

Hello -

As a member of the Holyoke Historical Commission, I am writing to ask for
assistance. We are beginning the process of revising our demolition delay
ordinance, since our current ordinance only allows us to impose a six month
delay on demolition. We would like to develop an ordinance that has a
longer delay, some guidelines in place to try to limit/control demolition
by neglect, and guidelines to ensure that owners are obligated to work with
us or with appropriate municipal departments to save historically
significant structures. I am assuming that some of you have more
comprehensive ordinances in place and we would much appreciate any
guidance, suggestions and/or samples of ordinances you could share to
assist us as we undertake this task.

Thank you.
