A. 
The Town Board, after a public hearing held on notice as in § 198-40.3(F), may revoke the designation of any portion of a historic landmark or district, including any open space or structure thereon, and may alter the boundaries of a historic district, in whole or in part, provided the owner has filed a petition with the Huntington Town Clerk for such relief. The petitioner shall demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the Town Board, that there has been a substantial change in one (1) or more of the factors set forth in § 198-40.1 and/or that the designation has created an unreasonable hardship. Withdrawal of a designation, in whole or in part, shall be reserved for rare instances where change or deterioration, not attributable to any deliberate conduct on the part of the owner, his agent, or occupier of the property, has made continued historic designation inconsistent with the purpose of this article and/or the designation, in whole or in part, has worked an unreasonable hardship upon such owner. Failure to maintain the property shall be deemed a self-created hardship.
[Amended 7-5-2005 by L.L. No. 27-2005]
B. 
The burden is upon the petitioner to establish that there has been a substantial change and/or the existence of hardship which is not self-created. In the case of hardship, the petitioner must provide evidence of the following to the satisfaction of the Board:
(1) 
The property is incapable of earning a reasonable return, regardless of whether the return represents the most profitable return possible, if the designation is not revoked, in whole or in part, by the Board. The petitioner shall provide dollars-and-cents proof to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board that the claim of hardship is well-founded; and
(2) 
The property can not be adapted for any other use permitted by the Zoning Ordinance in the zoning district in which the property is located, whether by the current owner or by a purchaser, which would result in a reasonable return; and
(3) 
It must be demonstrated that reasonable good faith efforts to find a purchaser interested in acquiring and preserving the property have failed.
C. 
A petition for revocation of a historic designation shall be signed by the owner and filed in the Office of the Town Clerk with an processing fee of two hundred fifty ($250) dollars. The petition shall be filed with a copy of the current deed to the property and copies of any rental agreements concerning the property in effect within three (3) years prior to the application date. The owner may submit such other documentation as he/she deems necessary or relevant. The petition shall be on file in the Office of the Huntington Town Clerk for public inspection during business hours. If the property is located within a historic district a copy of the petition and all attachments thereto shall be mailed by the owner/petitioner to the owners of all properties located within the district by regular mail at the addresses shown on the assessment rolls of the Town. In every case, the owners of properties lying within two hundred (200) feet of the exterior boundary lines of the subject parcel or district, if the property is within a district, shall also be notified in the same manner by the petitioner. A copy of the notice and proof of mailing shall be filed in the Office of the Huntington Town Clerk by the petitioner within five (5) business days of the date of filing.
D. 
The Town Clerk shall forward a copy of each petition filed as in § 198-40.3D. The Commission shall consider the petition and may hire such consultants it deems advisable, upon the consent of the Town Board. The costs of such consultant shall be borne by the Commission.

Unless otherwise extended by the Town Board, the Commission shall submit its written findings and recommendations to the Board, the Town Clerk, the Department of Planning and Environment, the Department of Engineering Services and Town Attorney within ninety (90) days of the Commission's receipt of the petition for revocation of a historic designation. In addition, the Commission shall forward a copy of its report to the property owner of the property under review, or, in the case of a property located within a historic district, to the property owners of each parcel located within the district, by regular mail at the addresses shown on the assessment rolls of the Town.
F. 
The public hearing shall be noticed, held and decided in accordance with the procedures in § 198-40.3(F), (G), (I) and (J). The Town Board's decision revoking the designation shall be recorded as an amendment to this chapter.
[Amended 7-5-2005 by L.L. No. 27-2005]
G. 
In determining whether or not to revoke the designation, in whole or in part, the Town Board shall consider the factors in § 198-40.1; the testimony of the petitioner and petitioner's experts; and the findings and recommendations of the Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission's report shall be advisory in nature and the final decision is reserved to the Town Board.

If the recommendation is for disapproval or approval with conditions, the Commission shall also state its reasons for such disapproval or conditioned approval of the work and may include suggested changes to the plan which if implemented would be accepted by the Commission.
[Amended 10-21-2014 by L.L. No. 37-2014]
E. 
The Department of Engineering Services shall forward a copy of the application form and such other documentation as deemed necessary by the Department to the Town Board. The Town Board shall hold a public hearing to consider the application within ninety (90) days of its receipt of the Commission's findings and recommendations. Notice of the public hearing shall be published by the Town Clerk in the official newspaper(s) of the Town at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing date. In addition, the applicant shall notify the owners of all properties lying within two hundred (200) feet of the exterior boundary lines of the parcel being considered (for work on the open space or structure thereon), of the date, time and place of the public hearing, by regular mail to the addresses shown on the assessment rolls of the Town no less than ten (10) days before the hearing date. A copy of the notice and proof of mailing shall be filed in the Office of the Town Clerk by the applicant no less than four (4) days before the hearing date.
F. 
At the public hearing, the Town Board, on its own motion, may call witnesses, including architects, engineers, planning consultants or other experts, and may consider such other evidence it deems necessary or advisable.
G. 
In evaluating an application for a certificate of approval to alter, repair, renovate or change the exterior or scenic appearance or design of any historic landmark, or any open space or structure within a historic district, the Town Board shall consider the purpose of this article; the testimony of the property owner or purchaser and his/her experts; the report of the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission; and the advice, if any, of the Town Historian. It shall also give consideration to any one (1) or more of the following factors:
(1) 
The impact of the proposed change on the special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the historic landmark and the impact, if any, to the surrounding historic district, if within a district;
(2) 
Whether the proposed action is compatible with the special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the landmark and whether the proposed action is compatible with the surrounding historic district, if within a district;
(3) 
The general design, character and appropriateness of the proposed action to the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(4) 
The scale of the proposed construction or alteration in relation to the property itself, surrounding properties and the neighborhood;
(5) 
Whether the proposed construction or alteration is visually compatible with the textures, materials and colors of the facade and roof of the existing building or structure, and its proportion and configuration;
(6) 
The legally-permitted use of the property and of the improvements, buildings and structures therein;
(7) 
Any other factor which in the opinion of the Town Board is relevant and/or necessary.
H. 
In evaluating an application for a certificate of approval to raze or demolish, in whole or in part, any structure which has been designated a historic landmark or which is located within a historic district, the Town Board shall consider the purpose of this article; the testimony of the property owner or purchaser and his/her experts; the report of the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission; and the advice, if any, of the Town Historian. It shall also give consideration to any one (1) or more of the following factors:
(1) 
The special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the structure;
(2) 
If it is within a historic district, the significance of the structure in relation to the special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value of the district and the probable impact of its removal on the district;
(3) 
Its structural condition and the economic feasibility of alternatives to the proposal. Consideration shall be given to whether deliberate or negligent conduct on the part of the owner, his agent, or occupier of such structure has contributed to its structural condition and/or physical deterioration, and whether the public health and safety would be benefitted by razing or demolishing the same;
(4) 
Its importance to the Town and the extent to which its special character or architectural, engineering, cultural, historic or aesthetic interest or value is such that its removal would be detrimental to the public interest or its retention would benefit the community;
(5) 
The legally-permitted use of the property and of the structures therein;
(6) 
Any other factor which in the opinion of the Town Board is relevant and/or necessary.
I. 
In evaluating an application for a certificate of approval to move any structure which has been designated a historic landmark or which is located within a historic district, the Town Board shall consider the purpose of this article; the testimony of the property owner or purchaser and his/her experts; the report of the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission; and the advice, if any, of the Town Historian. It shall also give consideration to any one (1) or more of the following factors:
(1) 
The historic, architectural, engineering, cultural or aesthetic loss of the structure to the original site and to the district as a whole, if applicable;
(2) 
The reasons for not retaining the structure at its present location and the economic feasibility of alternatives to the proposal;
(3) 
Its structural condition and the probability of significant damage to the structure itself;
(4) 
The compatibility, nature and character of the current and proposed location as they relate to the protection, preservation and enhancement of the structure;
(5) 
The legally-permitted use of the property and of the structures therein;
(6) 
Any other factor which in the opinion of the Town Board is relevant and/or necessary.
J. 
Within ninety (90) days of the public hearing, the Town Board may approve an application, in whole or in part, and with or without special conditions or modifications, or may deny the application. Unless extended by the Town Board, the application shall be deemed denied if the Board fails to act within such ninety-day period. The Department of Engineering Services shall mail a copy of the Board's decision to the applicant; or if the Town Board has permitted the ninety-day period to expire without extension, the Department of Engineering Services shall provide the applicant with notice of such denial. Said decision or notice of denial shall be mailed by regular mail to the address shown on the application for a certificate of approval. The decision of the Board is final as to the Town of Huntington and the resolution, if one is generated, shall be filed in the Office of the Town Clerk.
K. 
Building permit applications that do not have to be reviewed by the Town Board pursuant to § 198-41C will be required to obtain certificates of approval from the Historic Preservation Commission. Public hearings will not be held, and applications may be approved or denied, in whole or in part, by the vote of a simple majority of the Commission. The Historic Preservation Commission shall review applications in accordance with the guidelines provided in § 198-41G, H and I. Any applicant aggrieved by the determination of the Historic Preservation Commission may appeal the determination in writing within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Commission's determination by filing an appeal with the Huntington Town Clerk together with an application fee of one hundred ($100) dollars. The appeal shall be filed with a copy of the Commission's determination, any written objections the applicant may have to the determination, and any other information the applicant deems advisable or necessary. The applicant must also demonstrate that a true copy of the appeal has been mailed to the Huntington Historic Preservation Commission. The Town Clerk shall forward a copy of the appeal to the Town Attorney for further processing.

M. 
In every case where a certificate of approval has been granted by the Town Board or Historic Preservation Commission, the Director of Engineering Services shall issue a building permit or other approval, provided that the proposed work complies in all respects with the conditions and modifications imposed by the approving Board; the applicable provisions of the Codes of the State of New York; and the Code of the Town of Huntington. No work shall commence until a building permit and all other necessary approvals are issued by the Town of Huntington and any other agency having jurisdiction. A person or business entity who commences work, or causes and/or permits the work to be commenced, without the issuance of a building permit and all other necessary approvals shall be in violation of this chapter.

[Added 11-5-2008 by L.L. No. 43-2008]
(A) 
Legislative intent.
(1) 
The Town Board is committed to the preservation of buildings of historic significance and determines that the conservation, protection and perpetuation of historic buildings is in harmony with the Comprehensive Town Plan. The Town Board is aware that the costs of maintenance and preservation of these historic sites may be significant and seeks to establish a mechanism by which these properties maybe utilized for purposes other than those permitted as-of-right in the zoning districts where such buildings are located. By enhancing the property owners' ability to maintain and preserve historic properties, the educational, cultural, economic, social and general welfare of the public will be advanced.
(2) 
Pursuant to § 96-a of the General Municipal Law and other applicable law, the Town Board finds that the preservation, conservation and protection of historic buildings serves to link Huntington's past social and cultural history with its present, and will enhance and promote the Town of Huntington's attractiveness to residents, businesses and cultural interests.
(B) 
Uses of historic buildings. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, in addition to those uses permitted as-of-right in the zoning district where the historic building is located, the Town Board may permit additional uses after a public hearing, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Chapter.

The decision of the Board is final as to the Town of Huntington and the resolution, if one is generated, shall be filed in the Office of the Town Clerk.

The applicant shall record the signed original document in the Office of the Suffolk County Clerk at his or her own cost and expense and provide the Town Attorney and Department of Planning and Environment with a copy of the recorded instrument. The liber and page of each instrument recorded shall be shown on the site plan submitted to the Director of Planning and Environment before the plan will be signed for final approval.
