[MassHistPres] selling an extended Demo delay - presentation

[robert at townisp.com]

Thank you Marilyn, this helps. Also useful to have the wording in your local statute, so I appreciate that pointer.

 

I’d like to get Michael Roughan’s original PPT presentation and the source for the chart, if that’s possible – I’ll amend Lexington’s demo delay position to 21 months, when I get ready to present this to my Town Meeting in Dartmouth.

Sally and Robert -

fyi, Lexington's Demo Delay period is now 21 months, with an exception for multifamily housing or inclusionary dwelling unit projects, which reduces the time to 12 months  (Code of Lexington Section 19-3 (F)(3)  - https://ecode360.com/10420955#10420958 )

Hello Michael,

Thanks for posting this useful PDF – I would like the larger PPT file please, and is the chart showing other towns’ demolition delay periods something you created, and if not, where is it available?

 

Thanks!

Sally,

 

The pdf attached was used about 5 years ago to convince Hopkinton residents to extend the demo delay from 6 months to 18 months. The key graphic was the comparative status of towns in the state regarding their demo delay length.

 

 I have a larger powerpoint file (18mb) if you are interested?

Greetings all.
    I would like to offer some ideas to a town committee that is looking to decide on whether to support the extension of our demolition delay bylaw , upcoming at town meeting. (!2 months to 18 months)
Do you have experience in successful points to share with those unfamiliar with Historic preservation in this regard.  I very much appreciate your input.

Thanks
