The Building Department has reviewed and received a demolition and/or substantial

50% threshold per VEA 112-3: 504.5 sq. ft.

Aggregate area of demolition/ substantial modification: 891 sq. ft.

Village Code section 112-3 requires that any demolition activities and/or proposed substantial
modifications that meet the applicable thresholds therein be referred to the Historical
Preservation Commission for their review and recommendation before the Village Board review.

Village Code section 112-5 requires the Historical Preservation Commission to provide a written
recommendation to the Village Board on the exterior architectural design, scale, and impact of
character of the existing structure and surrounding neighborhood.
