If a regular member of said Commission is absent or has a conflict
of interest, the Chairperson of the Commission shall designate an

is not available in accordance with such rotation, such fact shall
be recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

the Commission may hold meetings with residents of the historic district
if and when at least 20 of the owners of real property in that historic
district make written petition for such meeting to discuss matters
of policy or other matters that may be at issue between property owners
and the Commission. The Commission may call meetings so requested
and shall not be bound by the testimony and evidence presented at
such meetings, but in formulating policy should be responsive to the
sentiments of the community insofar as its best judgment suggests
and the powers and limitations derived from the General Statutes and
this chapter permit.
[Amended 7-9-2012 by Ord. No. 12-14]
A.
No building or structure shall be erected or altered within the historic
district or on historic property until after an application for a
certificate of appropriateness as to exterior architectural features
has been submitted to the Historic District Commission and approved
by said Commission.
B.
No building permit for erection of a building or structure or for
alteration of an exterior architectural feature within the historic
district or on historic property and no demolition permit for demolition
or removal of a building or structure within the historic district
or on historic property shall be issued by the Town of Stratford or
any department, agency or official thereof until a certificate of
appropriateness has been issued. A certificate of appropriateness
shall be required whether or not a building permit is required.
C.
The Historic District Commission may request such plans, elevations,
specifications, material and other information, including, in the
case of demolition or removal, a statement of the proposed condition
and appearance of property after such demolition or removal, as may
be reasonably deemed necessary by the Commission to enable it to make
a determination on the application. The style, material, size and
location of outdoor advertising signs and billposters within the historic
district shall also be under the control of such Commission. The provisions
of this section shall not be construed to extend to the color of paint
used on the exterior of any building or structure.
D.
No area within a historic district or on historic property shall
be used for industrial, commercial, business, home industry or occupational
parking, whether or not such area is zoned for such use, until after
an application for a certificate of appropriateness as to parking
has been submitted to the Commission and approved by said Commission.
The provisions of this section shall apply to the enlargement or alteration
of any such parking area in existence on October 1, 1973.
[Amended 7-9-2012 by Ord. No. 12-14]
A.
The Historic District Commission shall hold a public hearing upon
each application for a certificate of appropriateness unless the Commission
determines that such application involves items not subject to approval
by the Commission. The Commission shall fix a reasonable time and
place for such hearing. Notice of the time and place of such hearing
shall be given by publication, in the form of a legal advertisement
appearing in a newspaper having substantial circulation in the Town
of Stratford, not more than 15 days nor less than five days before
such hearing.
B.
A majority of the total membership of the Commission shall constitute
a quorum, and the concurring vote of a majority of the total membership
of the Commission shall be necessary to deny a certificate of appropriateness.
Within not more than 65 days after the filing of an application as
required by Section 7-147e of the Connecticut General Statutes, the
Commission shall pass upon such application and shall give written
notice of its decision to the applicant. When a certificate of appropriateness
is denied, the Commission shall place upon its records and in the
notice to the applicant the reasons for its determination, which shall
include the basis for its conclusion that the proposed activity would
not be appropriate. In the notice to the applicant, the Commission
may make recommendations relative to design, arrangement, texture,
material and similar features. The Commission may issue a certificate
of appropriateness with stipulations. Evidence of approval, as referred
to in Section 7-147d of the Connecticut General Statutes, shall be
by certificate of appropriateness issued by the Commission. Failure
of the Commission to act within said 65 days shall constitute approval,
and no other evidence of approval shall be needed.
[Amended 7-9-2012 by Ord. No. 12-14]
A.
If the Commission determines that the proposed erection, alteration
or parking will be appropriate, it shall issue a certificate of appropriateness.
In passing upon appropriateness as to exterior architectural features,
building or structures, the Commission shall consider, in addition
to other pertinent factors, the type and style of exterior windows,
doors, light fixtures, signs, aboveground utility structures and mechanical
appurtenances and the type and texture of building materials. In passing
upon appropriateness as to exterior architectural features, the Commission
shall also consider, in addition to any other pertinent factors, the
historical and architectural value and significance, architectural
style, scale, general design, arrangement, texture and material of
the architectural features involved and the relationship thereof to
the exterior architectural style and pertinent features of other buildings
and structures in the immediate neighborhood. No application for a
certificate of appropriateness for an exterior architectural feature,
such as a solar energy system, designed for the utilization of renewable
resources shall be denied unless the Commission finds that the feature
cannot be installed without substantially impairing the historic character
and appearance of the district or historic property. A certificate
of appropriateness for such a feature may include stipulations requiring
design modifications and limitations on the location of the feature
which do not significantly impair its effectiveness. In passing upon
appropriateness as to parking, the Commission shall take into consideration
the size of such parking area, the visibility of cars parked therein,
the closeness of such areas to adjacent buildings and other similar
factors.
B.
In its deliberations, the Historic District Commission shall act
only for the purpose of controlling the erection or alteration of
buildings, structures or parking which is incongruous with the historic
or architectural aspects of the historic district or historic property.
The Commission shall not consider interior arrangement or use; however,
the Commission may recommend adaptive reuse of any buildings or structures,
within the district or on historic property, that is compatible with
the historic and architectural aspects of the historic district or
historic property.
[Amended 7-9-2012 by Ord. No. 12-14]
Where, by such reason of topographical conditions or district
borderline situations or because of other unusual circumstances solely
with respect to a certain parcel of land and not affecting generally
the district in which it is situated, the strict application of any
provision of this chapter would result in exceptional practical difficulty
or undue hardship upon the owner of any specific property, the Commission,
in passing upon applications, shall have power to vary or modify strict
adherence to said sections or to interpret the meaning of said sections
so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship, provided that such variance,
modification or interpretation shall remain in harmony with the general
purpose and intent of said sections so that the general character
of the district or historic property shall be conserved and substantial
justice done. In granting variations, the Commission may impose such
reasonable and additional stipulations and conditions as will, in
its judgment, better fulfill the purposes of said sections. In addition
to the filing required by Subsection (b) of Section 7-147e of the
Connecticut General Statutes, the Commission shall, for each variation
granted, place upon its records and in the notice to the applicant
the reasons for its determinations.
If any provision of this chapter or any action
taken or ruling made by the Historic District Commission pursuant
to the provisions of this chapter or if any regulations or ordinance
adopted under said sections has been violated, the Commission may,
as its exclusive remedy therefor, institute an action in the Superior
Court for the Judicial District of Fairfield at Bridgeport to restrain
such violation and to issue orders directing that the violation be
corrected or removed. Regulations and orders to the Commission issued
pursuant to the provisions hereof or to any regulation or ordinance
adopted under said sections shall be enforced by the Zoning Enforcement
Official or Building Inspector or by such other person as may be designated
by ordinance, who may be authorized to inspect and examine any building,
structure place or premises and to require in writing the remedying
of any condition found to exist therein or thereon in violation of
any provision of the regulations or orders made under the authority
of said sections or of any regulation adopted under said sections.
[Amended 7-9-2012 by Ord. No. 12-14]
A.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary
maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature in the
historic district or on historic property which does not involve a
change in the appearance or design thereof, nor to prevent the erection
or alteration of any such feature which the Building Inspector or
a similar agent certifies is required by the public safety because
of a condition which is unsafe or dangerous due to deterioration,
nor to prevent the erection or alteration of any such feature under
a permit issued by the Building Inspector or similar agent prior to
the effective date of this chapter.
B.
If a building on historic property or in the historic district is
to be demolished, no demolition shall occur for 90 days from the issuance
of a demolition permit if during such time the Historic District Commission
or the Connecticut Historical Commission is attempting to find a purchaser
who will retain or remove such building or who will present some other
reasonable alternative to demolition. At the conclusion of such ninety-day
period, the demolition permit shall become effective and the demolition
may occur. Nothing in this section shall be construed to mandate that
the owner of such property sell such property or building.
C.
The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to any property owned
by a nonprofit institution of higher education, for so long as a nonprofit
institution of higher education owns such property.
[Added 5-11-2009 by Ord. No. 09-11]

or Building Official shall have the power to institute any proceedings

Penalty.

or building permit pursuant to the chapter shall be fined the sum
of $100 for each day that the violation is unabated.
D.
Appeal.
Any person, property owner, occupant, firm or contractor that has
been fined for a violation of this chapter may appeal said fine by
requesting a hearing before the Historic District Commission not more
than 15 days from the issuance of the fine. Any fine issued will continue
to accrue during the appeal period and will not be repealed, waived
or voided without a majority vote of the Historic District Commission
Members or alternates eligible to vote on the appeal.
