Chapter 13: Architectural and Historic Review, Board of Article III Applications
Copies of the following applications shall be referred to each reviewing member of the Board of Architectural and Historic Review within five business days of receipt of the application:
All applications for sign permits, pursuant to Chapter 243, Signs, of the Code of the Village of Northport.
All applications for building permits for the construction, reconstruction, alteration or demolition of any structure other than a one-, two- or three-family residence.
All applications for the designation of landmarks or historic districts.
All applications for demolition permits or building permits for the construction, reconstruction, alteration or demolition of any building or structure that has been designated as a landmark through the process described herein (§ 13-12, Designation of landmarks), or that is listed on either the National or the New York State Register of Historic Places or the equivalent registers, if any, maintained by the County of Suffolk or the Town of Huntington.
Applications for building permits requiring both architectural review and site plan approval shall be filed for such reviews and approvals simultaneously. Review shall not proceed until there has been such simultaneous filing.
The Board shall submit comments in writing to the Planning Board on such matters under their review as may relate to the site plan, when appropriate.
Per § 13-2F(2) above, the Board of Architectural and Historic Review may, on an as-needed basis, designate one of its members to represent it at a meeting of the Planning Board in order to present architectural and historic design considerations relevant to applications being considered by both boards simultaneously.
The Board shall complete its review prior to final site plan approval by the Planning Board. It shall also complete its review prior to the Planning Board's issuing any comments or making any determination under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), when relevant.
Regarding applications that will require review by the Board of Architectural and Historic Review and/or the Planning Board, in the event the applicant applies to the Board of Zoning Appeals prior to filing for architectural and/or site plan review, complete copies of such Board of Zoning Appeals application shall be simultaneously provided by the applicant to the Planning Board and the Architectural Review Board, both of which shall submit written comments prior to or at the Board of Zoning Appeals public hearing, where appropriate.
Applicants are encouraged to consult with the Board at the earliest possible stage during the design of their projects, whether for signage, alteration or new construction.
Preliminary plans, elevations, sketches and/or proposals may be submitted to the Board by the owner or the architect or other agent of the owner for consultation prior to filing an application for a sign or building permit.
No indication of opinion of the Board on any preliminary review shall constitute acceptance of the final plans or prevent the Board from requiring that changes, modifications or a complete revision be incorporated in such final plans.
The Board will maintain a photo archive of approved projects in a form readily available for review by applicants. This archive may also contain pictures of existing signs and structures outside the Village whose appearance is supported by the Board and that are considered exemplary of or consistent with Village goals for visual quality. The intent of the photo archive is to assist applicants in understanding and appreciating the existing and desired forms of architecture and signage in the Village.
The Architectural and Historic Review Board may, in appropriate cases and upon written application, dispense with or modify the requirements for its review, described herein and in Chapter 243, Signs.
Applicants seeking a waiver of the requirement for architectural review, or any modification to the standards and guidelines such review is subject to, shall apply to the Board in writing. Such application shall demonstrate that:
Because of the nature or size of the project such requirements would not be applicable or would be an unnecessary burden upon the applicant.
A waiver would not violate the general intent and purposes of this ordinance or be detrimental to the general health, safety, and welfare of the Village, or aesthetics of the neighborhood.
The condition for which a waiver from a design standard is sought is unique to the property.
The request for a waiver is not based on mere inconvenience to the applicant or a self-created hardship.
A waiver is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property rights possessed by the applicant.
Applicants seeking a waiver based on economic hardship shall demonstrate that compliance with the rules and regulations of this chapter will result in significant economic or financial injury and/or will render the property incapable of earning a reasonable return.
Any waiver or modification of requirements granted by the Board shall provide only the minimum relief necessary to alleviate the hardship.
All applicants noted in § 13-7A above shall submit a completed application for review by the Board of Architectural and Historic Review, on a form promulgated by the Board, together with such additional information as is necessary and appropriate to process the application.
Applicants are encouraged to use a preapplication consultation to identify a list of exhibits required for the review. For exhibits required in sign permit applications, refer to Chapter 243, Signs.
