RE: Historical Commission demolition review, Sacred Heart Rectory
Louis:
In accordance with Chapter 161 of the Northampton Ordinance, "Demolition," the Historical
Commission held a hearing July 13 to determine "Preferably Preserved" status following an
initial determination of significance. The Commission voted that the rectory is Preferably
Preserved according to the Ordinance, and enacted a 12 -month demolition delay. A demolition
permit may not be issued until June 7, 2011; one year from the initial application date. A copy
of the Activity Tracking Sheet is enclosed.
The Historical Commission wanted to communicate that the 12 -month delay applies only to the
main rectory structure. Removal of the attached garage building and subsequent additions to
the rear of the structure are permissible under the Ordinance, and it appeared as though their
demolition may help to provide room for building or parking to the rear of the rectory in the
coming year, while plans for the building are being finalized. Please contact me if permits for
the removal of these additional elements are filed.
Thanks very much
