An application to the office of public works director for a demolition or moving permit shall require notification to preservation staff if the permit is for a historic resource determined by preservation staff to have potential for landmark designation. These resources shall be fifty (50) years or older and meet one (1) or more of the criteria for landmark designation described herein. The following procedure applies:

(a)   Demolition and moving permit applications for buildings or structures listed as historic resources will be reviewed by preservation staff.

(b)   Preservation staff may make the determination that a building, site or structure threatened with demolition or removal meets the criteria for landmark designation.

(c)   If a building, site or structure is determined by the preservation staff to meet criteria for historic landmark designation a written notice shall be sent by certified mail to the owner or owners of such building, site or structure. Said notice shall describe the property which meets historic landmark criteria including its location and boundaries and justification of its historic or architectural significance. The notice shall also be delivered to the office of public works director.

(d)   Following application for a moving or demolition permit for a listed historic resource, a ninety (90) day delay shall occur prior to the issuance of the requested moving or demolition permit in order for alternatives to be explored with the owner by the Haysville Historic Committee staff.

(e)   During such period, no permit shall be issued unless for emergency public safety reasons, or a certificate of appropriateness has been issued.

(f)   After the delay, if demolition of the historic resource is the conclusive alternative of the Haysville Historic Committee, the Haysville Historic Committee shall direct staff to document the resource with photography, and/or measured drawings for record purposes.
