  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 Commission may
  request additional information relating to the proposed designation. The Commission
  may adjourn the hearing pending receipt of such additional infonnation, 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.
