Landmarks Preservation Commission

The Landmarks Preservation Commission is appointed by the Mayor with the consent of the Board of Trustees. The Commission hears applications on changes which will affect the characteristics of a Landmarked Property. 

The Board of Trustees finds that the preservation of historic sites and districts within the Village fosters a greater stability within the Village, creates an appreciation of our historical heritage, and furthers the education of our future generations. Therefore, preservation of historical sites and districts will further the general health, safety, and welfare of our residents.  

If the project that is the subject of your application requires a variance, conditional use permit or similar use permit, or subdivision or partitioning approval, then you may need to make application to one or more of the Board of Appeals, Planning Board and Board of Trustees, and if your application relates to a parcel within an historic district or upon an historic site, then, you may need to make application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, as well.   Decisions from all Village Boards and Commissions having jurisdiction over your proposed project must be obtained before any permit authorizing you to proceed with your project will be issued.
