<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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.</span><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>
