contributing portions of the building are retained and covered with an historic preservation restriction granted to the City of Northampton in a form acceptable to the Planning Board, with
input from the Historical Commission, as preserving the key character-defining features visible from the road (and not necessarily meeting federal or state preservation standards for the
entire building). Portions of the building that are not part of the original architecture of the building and which do not contribute to the historical or architectural significance of the building
as determined by the Planning Board, with input from the Historical Commission, may be demolished.
