<p><font size="4"><font face="Times New Roman">I was always of the
mind that a Demo Delay would give a community adequate time to
relocate (or at least salvage some elements) of a desirable
Historic Structure. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Times New Roman">Sadly, the time it
takes to acquire all of the other permits usually required in
any permitting process for a development, is longer than most
of the Demo Delay periods. Oftentimes, developers merely go
through the motions of working with Historical Commissions,
not really acting in good faith. They merely wait until the
clock runs out and with their other permits in hand, bring in
the bulldozer. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Times New Roman">Unless a the Demo
Delay is for a year or 18 months there's little financial
incentive for a developer to actively work to relocate a
structure. <br>
</font></font></p>
<p><font size="4"><font face="Times New Roman">Now that interest
rates are climbing, it may just be more cost effective to work
actively with communities to get the building off of the lot
as quickly as possible. Maybe not. It's all those numbers on a
spreadsheet that make the real decisions.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning Massplanners, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cohasset is currently undergoing a Zoning
Bylaw re-write and is looking into the possibility of adding a
demolition delay. If you have a demo delay bylaw in your town,
we’d like to inquire if you think they work well and what you
would change about them if you could. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
