There is hereby established a program to be known as the Historic
Markers Program (the "program"). The program will include points or
sites of historic or cultural interest anywhere within the Township,
which may be selected and designated for historic markers by Board
resolution after an advisory recommendation by the Lower Gwynedd Township
Historical Advisory Committee ("HAC").
The HAC may identify locations where historic markers will be installed.
Locations may also be nominated for such designation by any person
or organization in writing, to the HAC, and evaluated within 60 days
of submission, in accordance with the criteria included in the Historic
Marker Program policy approved by the Board.
Historic markers may be placed or located on private property, or
on public property, or in the public right-of-way, at locations on
or in any of the same, commemorating certain historic events, individuals,
organizations, and eras, and shall have suitable inscriptions as may
be necessary.
If located on private property, the designation of the property and
the installation of a historic marker shall be done only with, and
after receipt by the Board, of the written agreement or consent of
the property owner(s).
If a historic marker is to be located on public property or within
a public right-of-way, such designation and installation shall be
subject to and in conformance with public safety standards.
