[MassHistPres] Summary of various demolition delay lengths

[Patricia Kelleher]

Hi Michael,

Salem revised its demo delay several years ago and created a FAQ sheet that included information comparing Salem’s delay period with other similar communities – see attached.  The revisions, which included extending the delay period to 12 months for buildings 50-99 years and 18 months for buildings older than 100 years, were unanimously approved by the City Council.

Good luck with your efforts in Arlington!

Pardon a question I could probably answer with enough research, but our Town Meeting will be taking up the length of our demolition delay. I'm looking for a document that compiles the range of present delays; something I can refer members to, when we consider if an extension is appropriate. With thanks
