Article 44 – Demolition Delay Bylaw Amendments

ARTICLE 44 –AMEND THE GENERAL BYLAWS – DEMOLITION DELAY AMENDMENTS To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 19 of the Code of the Town of Lexington, Demolition Delay, to ensure consistency with the adoption of Neighborhood Conservation Districts, Chapter 78 of the Code (adopted at Annual Town Meeting 2016, Article 29), make certain technical changes with respect to the Historic Districts Commission bylaw, or act in any other related manner. (Inserted by the Board of Selectmen at the request of the Historical Commission and Planning Board) 

This Article is to correct an internal discrepancy between Chapter 19, Demolition Delay, and Chapter 78, Neighborhood Conservation Districts, identified after the adoption of Chapter 78. Several amendments to the Demolition Delay Bylaw are suggested to ensure internal consistency between the two chapters. Additionally, references to the Historic Districts Commission Special Act (Chapter 447 of the Acts of 1956, as amended) are modified to refer to any successor governing statute
