(2) The Department of Cultural Resources, or another agent or employee of the Department designated by the Secretary, shall make an analysis of and recommendations concerning the report of the historic properties commission. This is waived if the Department fails to submit its analysis and recommendations to the governing board within 60 days after written request for the analysis has been mailed to the Department by the clerk of the city or county governing board. This requirement is also waived with respect to any building, structure, site, area or object of national, State or local historical significance that is currently listed (as certi- fied by the Secretary of Cultural Resources) on the National Register of Historic Places established by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Public Law 89-655, 16 U.S.C.A. section 470a, as amended.


(3) The historic properties commission and the governing board shall hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. Notice of the hearing shall be published at least once in a newspaper generally circulated within the city or county in which the property or properties to be designated or acquired are located, and written notice of the hearing shall be mailed . by the properties commission to all owners and occupants of properties whose identity and current mailing address can be ascertained by the exercise of reasonable diligence. All such notices shall be published or mailed not less than 10 nor more than 20 days prior to the date set for the public hearing.


(4) Following the joint public hearing, the governing board may adopt the ordinance as proposed, adopt the ordinance with any amendments it deems necessary, or reject the proposal.


(5) Upon adoption of the ordinance, the owners and occupants of each designated historic property shall be given written notification of such designation by the governing board, insofar as reasonable diligence permits. One copy


of the ordinance and each amendment thereto shall be filed by the his- toric properties commission in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which the property or properties are located. Each historic property designated in the ordinance shall be indexed according to the name of the owner of the property in the grantee and grantor indexes in the register of deeds office, and the historic properties commission shall pay a reasonable fee for filing and indexing. In the case of any property lying within the zoning jurisdiction of a city, a second copy of the ordi- nance and each amendment thereto shall be kept on file in the office of the city or town clerk and be made available for public inspection at any reasonable time. A third copy of the ordinance and each amendment thereto shall be given to the city or county building inspector, if any. The fact that a building, structure, site, area or object has been designated a his- toric property shall be clearly indicated on all tax maps maintained by the county or city for such period as the designation remains in effect.


(6) Upon the adoption of the historic properties ordinance or any amendment thereto, it shall be the duty of the historic properties commission to give notice thereof to the tax supervisor of the county in which the property is located. The designation and any recorded restrictions upon the prop- erty limiting its use. for preservation purposes shall be considered by the tax supervisor in appraising it for tax purposes. (1971, c. 885, s. 5; 1973, c. 426, s. 62, c. 476, s. 48.)


160A-399.6. Required waiting period. - A property which has been designated as a historic property by ordinance as herein provided may, after notice has been made to the owner as provided in G.S. 160A-399.5(5), be demolished, materially altered, remodeled or removed only after 90 days' written notice of the owner's proposed action has been given to the historic properties commission. During this period, the commission may negotiate with the owner and with any other parties in an effort to find a means of preserving the property. During this period, or at any time prior thereto following notice of designation to the owner as provided in G.S. 160A-399.5(5) and where such action is reasonably necessary or appropriate for the continued preservation of the property, the commission may enter into negotia- tions with the owner for the acquisition by gift, purchase, exchange or otherwise of the property or any interest therein authorized by G.S. 160A-399.3. The commis- sion may reduce the waiting period required by this section in any case where the owner would suffer extreme hardship, not including loss of profit, unless a reduction in the required waiting period were allowed. The commission shall have the discre- tionary authority to waive all or any portion of the required waiting period, provided that the alteration, remodeling or removal is undertaken subject to conditions agreed to by the commission insuring the continued maintenance of the architectural or his- torical integrity and character of the property. (1971, c. 885, s. 6; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.7. Certain changes not prohibited. - Nothing in this Part shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior archi- tectural feature in or on a historic property that does not involve a change in design, material, or outer appearance thereof, nor to prevent the construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, demolition or removal of any such feature when a building inspector or similar official certifies to the commission that such action is required for the public safety because of an unsafe or dangerous condi- tion. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a property owner from making any use of his property not prohibited by other statutes, ordinances, or regula- tions. (1971, c. 885, s. 7; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.8. Authority to acquire historic buildings. - Within the limits of its zoning jurisdiction, any city or county governing board (and, with the approval of the governing board, any historic properties commission) may acquire property desig- nated by ordinance as historic property, and may pay therefor out of any funds which may be appropriated for that purpose. The general powers granted to municipalities by G.S. 160-200(1), (2), (4), and (5) and to counties by G.S. 153-2(2), (3), and (4), and by G.S. 153-9(13) and (14) shall be deemed to include specifically the authority to acquire, maintain, manage, repair, restore, exchange or dispose of any building or structure designated as a historic property in any ordinance adopted pur- suant to this Part. In the event the property is acquired under this section but is


not used for some other governmental purpose, it shall be deemed to be a "museum" under the provisions of G.S. 160-200(40), notwithstanding the fact that the prop- erty may be or remain in private use, so long as the property is made reasonably accessible to and open for visitation by the general public. (1971, c. 885, s. 8; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.9. Appropriations. - A city or county governing board is authorized to make appropriations to a historic properties commission established pursuant to this Part in any amount that it may determine necessary for the expenses of the operation of the commission, and may make available any additional amounts neces- sary for the acquisition, restoration, preservation, operation and management of historic buildings, structures, sites, areas or objects designated as historic properties, or of land on which historic buildings or structures are located or to which they may be removed (1971, c. 885, s. 9; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.10. Ownership of property. - All lands, buildings, structures, sites, areas or objects acquired by funds appropriated by a city or county shall be acquired in the name of the city or county unless otherwise provided by the governing board. So long as owned by the city or county, historic properties may be maintained by or under the supervision and control of the city or county. How- ever, all lands, buildings or structures acquired by a historic properties commis- sion from funds other than those appropriated by a city or county may be acquired and held in the name of the historic properties commission, the city or county, or both. (1971, c. 885, s. 10; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.11. Part to apply to publicly owned buildings and structures. - Nothing in this Part shall be construed to prevent the regulation or acquisition of historic buildings, structures, sites, areas or objects owned by the State of North Carolina or any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentali- ties. (1971, c. 885, s. 11; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.12. Conflict with other laws. - Whenever any ordinance adopted pur- suant to this Part requires a longer waiting period or imposes other higher stan- dards with respect to a designated historic property than are established under any other statute, charter provision, or regulation, this Part shall govern. Whenever the provisions of any other statute, charter provision, ordinance or regulation require a longer waiting period or impose other higher standards than are establish- ed under this Part, such other statute, charter provision, ordinance or regulation shall govern. (1971, c. 885, s. 12; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


160A-399.13. Remedies. - In case any building, structure, site, area or object designated a historic property is about to be demolished whether as the re- sult of deliberate neglect or otherwise, materially altered, remodeled or removed, except in compliance with the ordinance, the city or county or the historic proper- ties commission, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful demolition, material alteration, remodeling or removal, to restrain, correct or abate such violation, or to prevent any illegal act or conduct with re- spect to such historic property. (1971, c. 885, s. 13; 1973, c. 426, s. 62.)


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


Section 5-10 H Historic District


5-10.1 The historic district shall be an additional zone designation to any of the zoning districts of the zoning ordinance. That portion of any zone district to which the historic district shall apply shall be delineated on the zoning map. This designated his- toric district shall include those uses found by the Historic District Commission to have existed during the period sought to be restored or preserved, or to be compatible with the authentic restoration or preservation of the district in addition to those 1 authorized by the applicable zoning district.


5-10.2 Purposes for the Creation of an Historic District


The historical heritage of the County of Hertford is among our most valued and important assets. It is therefore the purpose of the Historic District regulations :


(1) to safeguard the heritage of the County of Hertford by preserving the district(s) therein which reflect noteworthy elements of our cultural, educational, social, economic, political, and/or architectural history,


(2) to educate the citizenry to realize, understand, and appre- ciate our county's rich heritage;


(3) to stimulate a greater awareness and sense of pride in the founding of the county and the contributions we have made to the State and Nation.


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


(4) to recognize the significant impact this area has had in the general settlement patterns and subsequent development of not only the greater Hertford County area, but of the region, State, and Nation, as well;


(5) to develop an atmosphere and feeling of old, historic Hertford County by encouraging the preservation and restoration of his- toric structures within the district.


(6) to improve the environmental quality and overall liveability of the historic sections of Hertford County;


(7) to stabilize and improve property values in the district;


(8) to promote the use and preservation of the district for the education, welfare, and pleasure of residents of Hertford County -- and of the State as well;


(9) that these aforementioned goals and objectives for the Historic District be achieved and implemented through the establishment of and enforcement of the general district guidelines and specific district regulations which follow.


5-10.3 Establishment of an Historic District Commission


An Historic District Commission is hereby authorized to be appointed by the Hertford County Board of Commissioners. This shall be a 7 member commission with a majority of the members qualified by special interest, knowledge, or training in such fields as history or architecture. All members of the commission shall be from Hertford County. Members shall be appointed for three year staggered terms and be eligible for reappoint- ment.


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


Initial commission appointments shall be 1 member for one-year term, 3 members for two-year terms and 3 members for three-year terms with terms expiring on December 31 of the appropriate term of appointment. 5-10.4 Meetings of the Commission


The Historic District Commission shall meet within 10 days following notification by the Zoning Enforcement Officer of the filing of an application for a building or use permit on which the Commission is re- quired to pass, and at such other times as the Commission may determine, or upon call of the Chairman.


5-10.5 Certificate of Appropriateness


From and after the designation of an Historic District, no exterior portion of any building or other structure (including stone walls, fences, light fixtures, steps and pavement, or other appurtenant features) nor above-ground utility structure nor any type of outdoor advertising sign shall be erected, altered, restored, or moved within such district until after an application for a "Certificate of Appropriateness" as to exterior architectural features has been submitted to and approved by the Historic


District Commission. The County shall require such a Certificate to be issued by the Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit or other permit granted for purposes of constructing or altering structures. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required whether or not a building permit is required. If the Commission does not act upon a "Certificate of Appropriateness" within 90 days of application, the applicant may be granted a building permit.


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


5-10.6 Exterior Architectural Features


A "Certificate of Appropriateness" shall apply to "exterior architectural features" only. "Exterior architectural features" shall include the archi- tectural style, general design, and general arrangement of the exterior of the building or other structure, including the color, the kind and texture of the building material, and the type and style of all windows, doors, light fixtures, signs, and other appurtenant fixtures. In the case of outdoor advertising signs, "exterior architectural features" shall be con- strued to mean the style, material, size, and location of all such signs. The Commission shall not consider interior arrangement and shall take no action under this section except for the purpose of preventing the construc- tion, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, or moving of buildings, struc- tures, appurtenant fixtures, or outdoor advertising signs in the Historic District which would be incongruous with the historic aspects of the district. . The following guidelines shall be used by the Historic District Commission in determining appropriateness whenever there are two or more buildings or structures within the same district. These guidelines require only that a structure or changes to a structure meet those physical design criteria which will cause it to blend harmoniously with and fit into the aesthetic pattern of its surrounding structures. Of the twelve (12) criteria, a mini- mum of five (5) must be met for the structure to be aesthetically acceptable in the district.


(1) Height-width proportion of facade - The ratio between the height and width of the structure must be similar to that of neighboring buildings within the district.


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


(2) Height-width proportion of openings within the facade -These must be in harmony with neighboring buildings within the district.


(3) Rhythm of solids (i.e., walls) to voids (i.e., windows) in front facade - The alternation of solid and open elements must be in common with surrounding buildings within the district.


(4) Relationship of materials - Material must already be found in use on structures in the district.


(5) Relationship of textures - The texture must be one already in use on a significant number of structures in the district.


(6) Relationship of color - The color must be found on numerous structures 1 in the district.


(7) Relationship of details - Chimneys, cornices, doorways, arches, and other details must be in conformance with others in the district.


(8) Relationship of roof shapes - The structure must have a roof style common to the district.


(9) Relationship of landscaping - The yard style must not conflict with neighboring landscapes within the district.


(10) Scale - The relationship of building mass and details must be similar to that already existing within the district.


(11) Directional expression of front elevation - The direction which the front elevation of the structure takes must already be found fre- quently within the district.


(12) Relationship of ground cover - Ground cover or paving to be used shall be compatible with those already found in the district.

DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


Whenever there is only one building or structure within a district, the Historic District Commission shall use their own discretion, based upon knowledge of building design during the particular era in which the structure was constructed.


5-10.7 Maintenance or Repair


Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the ordinary main- tenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature in an Historic District which does not involve a change in design, material, color, or outer appearance thereof, nor to prevent the construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, or demolition of any such feature which the building 1 inspector or similar official shall certify is required by the public safety because of an unsafe or dangerous condition.


5-10.8 Demolition


No building or structure in an Historic District shall be abolished or other- wise removed until the owner thereof shall have given the Historic District Commission 90 days written notice of his proposed action. During such 90-day period the Historic District Commission may negotiate with the owner and with any other parties in an effort to find a means of preserving the building. If the Historic District Commission finds that the building involved has no particular historic significane or value toward maintaining the character of the district, it may waive all or part of such 90-day period and authorize earlier demolition or removal.


5-10,9 Notification and. Appeal


Prior to issuance or denial of a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Historic District Commission shall take such action as may reasonably be required to


DISTRICT REGULATIONS (H Historic District)


inform the owners of any property likely to be materially affected by the application, and shall give the applicant and such owners an oppor- tunity to be heard. In cases where the commission deems it necessary, it may hold a public hearing concerning the application. An appeal may be taken to the Board of Adjustment from the Commission's action in grant- ing or denying the certificate, in the same manner as any other appeal to such Board. Any appeal from the Board of Adjustments' decision in any such case shall be heard by the Hertford County Superior Court.


5-10.10 Construction on Private Property


In passing upon applications for certificates of appropriateness, the Historic District Commission shall not approve any porches, steps, posts, fences, walls, or other items extending over, on, or within public side- walk or public alley areas unless the particular item is necessary for the authentic restoration, reconstruction, or maintenance of the particular project and unless the restoration, reconstruction, or maintenance thereof will not impede or block pedestrian traffic or constitute a public safety hazard. Further, any such item projecting over any sidewalk shall be at least nine (9) feet above the sidewalk at the lowest point. Such items, so approved, may be lawfully restored, reconstructed, or maintained. Any of the aforementioned items restored, reconstructed, or maintained on, over, or within a public sidewalk or public alley area under the authority hereof shall be the responsibility of the owner, and the owner's restoration, re- construction, or maintenance of any such item within such area shall con- stitute the owner's agreement to protect and hold the County of Hertford blameless against any and all liability, cost, damage, or expense suffered or suffered by the County as a result of or growing out of the restoration, reconstruction, or maintenance thereof. (The provisions of this paragraph


1


shall prevail over any inconsistent or conflicting provisions of this ordinance.) 1


5-10.11 Involvement of the N. C. Department of Archives and History.


The Historic District Commission shall give the N. C. Department of Archives and History, acting through any agent or employee designated by its Director, or the North Carolina Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, an oppor- " tunity to review, comment, and make recommendations upon the substance and effect of any application for a Certificate of Appropriateness in any Historic District.


Its comments and recommendations may be provided in writing to the Historic District Commission or made orally at any public hearing held in connection with the application. The Historic District Commission shall consider these commentst and recommendations prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Appro- 1 priateness. If any Certificate is issued contrary to the recommendations of the Department, the Historic District Commission shall enter the reasons therefor in the minutes of the meeting at which such action is taken, and a copy of the minutes shall be forwarded to the Department by the Commission's secretary. If the Department does not submit its comments or recommenda- tions in connection with any application within 30 days following receipt by the Department of any materials needed for its review of the application, whether such review is at the request of the Department or the Historic District Commission, the Commission and the Hertford County Board of Commis- sioners shall be relieved of any responsibility to consider these comments and recommendations. In this case, the Certificate of Appropriateness may thereafter be issued without regard to the requirements of this paragraph.

Sample design criteria used in the Savannah report are as follows: 1. Heiglit; 2. Proportion of buildings' front facades; 3. Proportion of openings within the facade; 4. Rhythm of solids to voids in front facade; 5. Rhythm of spacing of build- ings on streets; 6. Rhythm of entrance and/or porch projec- tions; 7. Relationship of materials; 8. Relationship of textures; 9. Relationship of color; 10. Relationship of architectural de- tails; 11. Relationship of roof shapes; 12. Walls of continuity.


The newer house in the center does not relate to its neighbors in height, proportion, color, materials, details, rhythms, or land- scaping. According to criteria, it receives only one point for relation of setback.


Two houses have different exterior materials yet relate well because of:


1. Height


2. Rhythms of spacing


3. Rhythms of entrances


4. Proportion of buildings


5. Proportion of openings


6. Landscaping


Although these three detached houses have distinctly different styles, there is a sense of relatedness.


1. Proportion of building facades 5. Landscaping


2. Heights


3. Walls of enclosure


4. Rhythms of entrances


6. Details


7. Proportion of openings


In a tightly spaced block, there is variation of housing facades, yet houses are well related.


1. Height


4. Rhythms of entrances


2. Proportion of facades


5. Rhythms of spacing


3. Proportion of openings


6. Landscaping


This demonstrates good relationship between a church complex and a residence, showing:


1. Materials


4. Details -arches


2. Colors 5. Landscaping-earth cover


3. Textures


6. Closure of space


-...


Although a handsome building, this new structure does not re- late well with older existing structures. In another location it might be entirely acceptable. According to criteria it relates in setback only.
