[MassHistPres] Demo Delays

[Dennis De Witt]

To be clear, Brookline’s 18 month delay applies only to NR or NR-Eligible properties.  The non-NR delay is 12 months.

Also, Brookline is a CLG and because of that the town accepts that for purposes of the By-law the Commission’s determination that a property is NR Eligible is sufficient.

The rationale is 18 months is sufficient time to create a single structure Historic District, if that is the course Town Meeting wished to take. We have one significant property that the applicant has submitted a demolition application for, the Davis House. This structure was built in 1794 and has a long list of events that occurred on the property.
