Planners Page 9 Apri121, 2003 determined that it located all sites, we should generally ask the applicant to consent to a time extension, and if the applicant refuses, recommend disapproval. If the sites have been found, but there is disagreement between SHPD and the applicant over significance and/or mitigation, we should recommend mitigation per SHPD's recommendation. Sometimes it will be apparent from the correspondence between SHPD and the applicant that they have no real disagreement over what should finally be preserved, but there are technical problems that prevent the acceptance of the report. In those cases, we can go ahead with the standard conditions, and listing the applicant's preservation sites. We can recommend approval of the application on condition that the applicant conforms to a mitigation plan that will be approved in the future. At the stage of rezoning, we need to know what sites will be protected long-teen, and have some idea of the general buffers. The details of whether there will be interpretation of the site, or how data recovery will be done for those sites, does not have to be established at the time of rezoning. Special permits, SMA permits, and Use Permits. Same as rezonings, except that we will not require a "no effect" letter with the application if the project does not seem to call for any new land disturbance or activities that might negatively affect historic sites. The reason for this exception is that these permits often involve the conversion of existing land uses, such as B&B's in existing buildings, and hence should have "no effect". If we require the "no effect letter" with the application we will be delaying the application by at least a month. The applicant should at least request a "no effect" letter upon applying, so that we should.have one in hand by the time of making our recommendation. Subdivisions with Prior Historic Sites Review. If there has been a review of historic sites already, the final implementation of the protection of the sites must be done in the subdivision process, for those projects that result in subdivision. Naturally, if there is a "no effect" letter, nothing needs to happen during subdivision review, except for sites that may be discovered during construction. Subdivision section will have to review the rezoning ordinance, or SMA permit, if applicable, to determine whether there was a prior historic sites review and the conditions of approval.
