(A) Demolition and moving permit applications for buildings or structures listed as historic resources or structures within Original Town Olathe that have the potential to be a historic resource will be reviewed by the Planning Division.

(B) The Planning Division may make the determination that a building, site or structure threatened with demolition or removal meets the criteria for landmark designation.

(C) If a building, site or structure is determined by Planning Services to meet criteria for historic landmark designation a written notice shall be sent by certified mail to the owner or owners of such building, site or structure. Said notice shall describe the property which meets historic landmark criteria including its location and boundaries and justification of its historic or architectural significance.

(D) Following application for a moving or demolition permit for a listed historic resource, a ninety (90) day delay shall occur prior to the issuance of the requested moving or demolition permit in order for alternatives to be explored with the owner by Planning Services.
