With the purpose of conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the Town, the Board of Trustees may review all building and sign permits where the character of the proposed construction might be so at variance with the established exterior architectural appeal and functional plan of the structures already located in the neighborhood as to depreciate the value of such established buildings. The Board of Trustees must restrict its review in such case to the effect of the proposed construction on the health, safety, morals and general welfare of the Town, keeping particularly in mind the unique characteristics of existing structures which have established special land values and prosperity for the entire community.

(Prior Code, § 6-13A; Ord. No. 2016-4, § 1, 8-29-2016)

After receiving exterior elevations of the proposed structure, viewing the site on which such construction is proposed to be placed and notifying the applicant of the time and place of a hearing on such subject, the Board of Trustees may approve, disapprove or approve subject to certain conditions, any application which may require such building review. For each case, the Board of Trustees may obtain testimony from local architects or other qualified personnel on the possible effect of the proposed construction on established land values.

(Prior Code, § 6-13B; Ord. No. 2016-4, § 1, 8-29-2016)
