The committee shall consider any previously written committee reports pertinent to the proposed action.

(b)

In considering elimination of a historic district, a committee shall follow the procedures set forth in Section 399.203(1-3) of Public Act 169 of 1970, as amended for the issuance of a preliminary report, holding a public hearing, and issuing a final report but with the intent of showing one or more of the following:

The historic district was not significant in the way previously defined.

A vacant structure that is not secured against entry shall be deemed unsafe.

Financial hardship application means an application for a Notice to Proceed which is necessary because retaining the resource will cause undue financial hardship to the owner when a governmental action, an act of God, or other events beyond the owner's control created the hardship, and all feasible alternatives to eliminate the financial hardship, which may include offering the resource for sale at its fair market value, or moving the resource to a vacant site within the historic district, have been attempted and exhausted by the owner.

Historic district means an area, or group of areas not necessarily having contiguous boundaries, that contains one resource or a group of resources that are related by history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture.

Ordinary maintenance means keeping a resource unimpaired and in good condition through ongoing minor intervention, undertaken from time to time, in its exterior condition.

Proposed historic district means an area, or group of areas not necessarily having contiguous boundaries, that has delineated boundaries and that is under review by a committee or a standing committee for the purpose of making a recommendation as to whether it should be established as a historic district or added to an established historic district.

Repair means to restore a decayed or damaged resource to a good or sound condition by any process. A repair that changes the external appearance of a resource constitutes work for purposes of this article.

Resource means any publicly or privately owned historic or non-historic building, structure, site, object, feature, or open space located within a historic district.

Smoke alarm means a single-station or multiple-station alarm responsive to smoke and not connected to a system.
