§ 112-15. Certificates of appropriateness, nonapplicability or hardship.

A. 

Except as the order designating or amending a landmark may otherwise provide, no landmark shall be constructed or altered in any way that affects exterior architectural features unless the Commission shall have first issued a certificate of appropriateness, a certificate of nonapplicability or a certificate of hardship with respect to such construction or alteration.

B. 

Any person who desires to obtain a certificate from the Commission shall file with the Commission an application for a certificate of appropriateness, a certificate of nonapplicability or a certificate of hardship, as the case may be, in such form as the Commission may reasonably determine, together with such plans, elevations, specifications, materials and other information, including in the case of demolition or removal a statement of the proposed condition and appearance of the property thereafter, as may be reasonably deemed necessary by the Commission to enable it to make a determination on the application.

C. 

No building permit for alteration of an exterior architectural feature of a landmark or construction of a structure feature and no demolition permit for demolition or removal of a landmark shall be issued by the Town or any department thereof until the certificate required by this section has been issued by the Commission.
