Latest version.

  • Public improvement and land acquisition projects by the City of Kirksville or any of its departments or agencies shall be reviewed by the Kirksville Historic Preservation Commission in the following manner:

    (1)

    The Kirksville Historic Preservation Commission shall review and comment upon any public improvement project proposed by the City of Kirksville or any of its agencies or departments within any historic district, on the site of or within two hundred (200) feet of any landmarks, or within two hundred (200) feet of any boundary of a historic district. The department of public works shall send a completed preliminary design for a public improvement project to the KHPC simultaneously with its submission to the city council for approval. The KHPC shall have at least thirty (30) days to complete its review and report to the city council, except when the department of public works, if necessary to accelerate the design review process, may specify a time less than thirty (30) days within which the KHPC shall complete its review and report to the council.

    (2)

    The Kirksville Historic Preservation Commission shall review and comment upon any proposed acquisition of a landmark or of land or buildings within a historic district by the City of Kirksville or any of its agencies or departments. The city council or the department of public works shall, at the earliest possible date that will not interfere with acquisition negotiations, send the KHPC information concerning the location, size, purchase price, current use, and proposed use of the land or building to be acquired, and specify the date by which the KHPC shall report to the city council.

    (3)

    The Kirksville Historic Preservation Commission shall review the public improvement or land acquisition projects to determine its effect upon the historic, archaeological or architectural character of the landmark or historic district and report to the city council within any time specified by the city council or planning department but not to exceed forty-five (45) days. The report by the KHPC shall include any recommendations for changes to the preliminary design or land acquisition that will lessen or alleviate any adverse effect of the proposed project upon the historic, archaeological, or architectural character of the landmark or historic district. The city council shall take no final action on the preliminary design or land acquisition until it has received and reviewed the report of the KHPC.
