Once the nomination form has been completed and the accompanying materials submitted, the nomination will be scheduled for a public hearing before the Commission as soon as practicable. The Commission meets monthly (second Wednesday) at 6: 15p.m. in the upstairs conference room of the Municipal Hall at 585 Oakwood Avenue. The applicant (or the applicant's agent, if applicable) will be notified of the hearing date and should plan on appearing in person. The owner of the property (if different from the applicant) will also be notified by registered mail. Any other supporters of or opponents to the application may also be heard. The C01mnission may request additional information relating to the proposed designation. The Commission may adjourn the hearing pending receipt of such additional information, or for other reasons, in the Commission's discretion. 4. Criteria. Section 156-3 of the Village Code, entitled "Designation of Landmarks or Historic Districts", states that a property may be designated as a landmark if it: i) Possesses special character or historic or aesthetic interest or value as part of the cultural, political, economic or social history of the locality, region, state or nation; or ii) Is identified with historic personages; or iii) Embodies the distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style; or iv) Is the work of a designer whose work has significantly influenced an age; or v) Because of unique location or singular physical characteristic, represents an established and familiar visual feature of the neighborhood. It also states that a group of properties may be designated as an historic district if it: i) Contains properties which meet one or more of the criteria for designation as a landmark; and ii) By reason of possessing such qualities, it constitutes a distinct section of the Village. 2
