[MassHistPres] Asking again - Demo Delay

[A Ciaccio]

I’m curious why you wish to change it? Our town (Wayland) doesn’t have a demo delay law, but my preference would be to have it run with the property.

Subject: [MassHistPres] Asking again - Demo Delay

Dear Fellow Massachusetts communities,

Last week I asked about a particular aspect of a town's demo delay bylaw; specifically if the delay runs with the property or is attached to the property owner.  The following towns replied to me:

Brookline
Chatham
Duxbury
Kingston
Lexington
Maynard
Newton
Somerville
Weston
Winchester

I had heard from Hopkinton, Lunenburg, and Swampscott, but I was not clear about their answer so I would appreciate it if you might respond again.

As for other towns that have the demo delay bylaw on their books, could you please respond and let me know if your delay attaches to the property or to the property owner.  I am trying to build a case for Concord which currently has our delay run with the property.  Though this may be a small amendment, we are hoping it provides a bit more teeth to the bylaw.

Many thanks to all of you.
