An approved certificate is mandatory before commencing any construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition or moving of any exterior features of any building within a local historic district. The alteration has been observed and evaluated and the report of the vio- lation has been placed on file with the proper city departments and is duly noted in our commission files. It is the decision of the commission to refrain from proceeding with due process in this violation because we desire to encourage voluntary compliance.

Please contact the Historic Preservation office for details on filing correct application for any future exterior changes.
