The
Historic Preservation Commission is the public hearing
review body for Landmark Designation and Historic District
applications. The Commission is also the public hearing
review body and final decision-maker for Certificate of
Appropriateness requests. Requests for Landmark Designation
and creation of Historic Districts are approved by the
Village Board of Trustees, as provided by ordinance.

public hearing, transcript or recording fees for applications
reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. The

the formal application, the property owner meet with the
Village Planner to review the document.
