§ 82-101. Final application/request for review of completed work.
(a)
The final application/request for review of completed work shall be accompanied by documentation of the total cost of the qualifying improvements. Appropriate documentation may include, but is not limited to, paid contractor's bills, canceled checks, and an approved building permit application listing the cost of work to be performed. Upon the receipt of a final application/request for review of completed work and all required supporting documents, the historic preservation planner shall conduct a review to determine whether or not the completed improvements are in compliance with the work described in the preconstruction application, approved amendments, if any, and the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings.
(b)
If the historic preservation planner determines that the work is a qualifying improvement and is in compliance with the review standards contained in section 82-95, the final application/request for review of completed work shall be approved and issued in writing to the applicant with a copy to the historic preservation board. The city reserves the right to inspect the completed work to verify such compliance. The review of the historic preservation planner shall be completed within 30 days of the receipt of the final application/request for review of completed work.
(c)
If the historic preservation planner determines that the work as completed is either not a qualifying improvement or is not in compliance with the review standards contained in section 82-95, the applicant shall be advised that the final application has been denied. Such denial shall be in writing and provide a written summary of the reasons for the determination, including recommendations to the applicant concerning the changes to the proposed work necessary to make it a qualifying improvement and bring it into compliance with the review standards.
