[MassHistPres] Procedure advice

[Alisa Struthers]

Dennis,Thank you so much for your time to help with this matter before us.So how would we go about addressing this at the  hearing, do we address the door that has already been installed and then address the request toreplace the front door that is listed on the application. First time I've have this come up and I just am not sure in which order to address the door .I'm lost as to how to go about thisthank you so muchAlisaTownsend Historic Districts Commission

Alisa
In Brookline, the developer would be told by staff that retroactive approval seemed unlikely but that he could apply for a retroactive certificate.  And if the commission denied it, as seems likely, then either he could agree to a like kind replacement that could be approved or the Commission would ask the Building Commissioner to impose a 300/day fine.  It almost never goes that far because they want the stop work order lifted.  There is currently a Warrant Article for spring town meeting to transfer the power to impose the fine to the Commission.
