If the application for a permit is denied, the applicant may appeal to the village manager's designee within seven days.

b.

Permits for a significant alteration. Improvements, construction, removal, or demolition other than minor exterior modifications shall require a permit for significant alteration. The zoning administrator shall, within 14 working days following the receipt of a permit application for a significant alteration approve, approve with condition, or deny the application.

The applicant must meet all requirements for a building permit.

(1)

Review criteria for a significant alteration. In making a determination whether to recommend approval, approval with conditions or denial of a permit for a significant alteration, the zoning administrator shall consider the purpose and intent of the Ontarioville Historic District.

(a)

The preservation or restoration of the significant original qualities or character of the property, structure or improvements, including, if significant, its landscaping.

(b)

The removal or alteration of any historic or distinctive architectural or landscape features.

(c)

The compatibility of the architectural style and design detailing of the proposed construction, or significant alteration, with the original architecture of the property or the exterior architectural character of other structures within the Ontarioville Historic District.

(d)

The compatibility of the general design, arrangement, scale, texture or materials of the construction or alteration, with the historic, cultural, aesthetic or architectural and landscape values of significance in the Ontarioville Historic District.

(e)

The relationship of the location of the construction, alteration, or removal to streets, public or semipublic ways and any other structures, property, or landscaping within the Ontarioville Historic District.

(f)

Construction, alteration and demolition shall be allowed only in accordance with the following additional standards:

(i)

Every reasonable effort shall be made to minimize the alteration of significant features of the property, structure or site, and its environment.

(ii)

All property and structures shall be recognized as products of their own time. Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier or later appearance shall be discouraged.

(iii)

Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a property, structure, or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right, and this significance shall be recognized and preserved.

(iv)

Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a property, structure, or site shall be protected.

(v)

Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material need not be identical to but should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture, and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features should be based on accurate duplications of features, substantiated by historic, physical, or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other structures.

(vi)

The surface cleaning of structures shall be undertaken with the gentlest means possible. Sandblasting and other cleaning methods that will damage the historic building materials shall not be undertaken.

(vii)

Every reasonable effort shall be made to protect and preserve archaeological resources affected by, or abutting to, any project.

(viii)

Contemporary design for new construction, alterations, and additions to existing properties or structures shall not be discouraged when such construction, alterations, and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural, or cultural material, and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property, neighborhood, or environment.

(ix)

Wherever possible, new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in such a manner that if such additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would not be impaired.
