Alteration or demolition of registry properties

Any state department or agency or any city, county, school district, or other body corporate and politic must notify the director of, and receive the director's written approval for, any of the governmental bodies' proposed actions which would result in the alteration or demolition of registry properties. 1. Notification to the director shall include: a. Name and address of the property. b. A description of the proposed action. c. Reasons for proposing the action. d. A copy of any building inspector, fire marshal, workforce safety and insurance, planning department, or other official inspection or planning report which forms the basis for proposing the action. e. An assessment of all alternatives considered in reaching the decision to propose alteration or demolition, and the reasons for rejecting those alternatives. f. A copy of any supporting documentation, such as architect's plans and specifications, which graphically explains the result of the proposed action if approved by the director. 2. Proposed alterations which would not, in the director's opinion, jeopardize the property's registry status may be approved by independent action of the director. 3. The director shall notify the board of any proposed demolition of a registry property, and of any proposed alteration of a registry property if such alteration would result in the alteration to or destruction of those features or characteristics for which the property was determined to meet the criteria. The director shall schedule board review of such proposed demolition or alteration at any regular meeting of the board which is held not later than one hundred fifty days after the director's receipt of notification of proposed demolition or alteration. The director shall notify the governmental body proposing alteration or demolition of the date, time, and place of board review, but immediately shall initiate any studies, inspections, meetings, and negotiations with that governmental body in order to identify and implement any reasonable alternatives to alteration or demolition of the property.
