Any plans to alter or reconstruct any Locally Designated Landmark or landmark site must be approved by the Landmarks Commission before a building permit can be issued. The Commission will issue a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to indicate that the proposed alterations have been approved.
The application instructions and application form for the Certificate of Appropriateness can be obtained from the Building Inspector along with the request for a building permit. When completed, the application form must contain all pertinent information concerning any alteration or reconstruction of a landmark or landmark site. This information will be needed for the Landmarks Commission to evaluate the impact of the proposed work on the landmark and the surrounding area. In order to expedite the evaluation process, please fill out the form completely and accurately, and include drawings and photographs. The completed form should be submitted to the Chair of the Landmarks Commission, c/o Stoughton City Hall, 381 E. Main Street.
The Commission shall have up to 60 days to approve the application and return the Certificate of Appropriateness to the building inspector with permission to issue the building permit. If the Commission decides that the request does not meet the guidelines of city ordinance 12.13 5(6)(c)(1 2), it shall inform the Building Inspector to deny the issuance of the permit. The Commission shall at the request of the applicant, cooperate and work with the applicant in an attempt to obtain approval within the guidelines of the ordinance. Review of denial of permits shall lie to the City Council pursuant to Chapter 24 of the Code and the Wisconsin Statutes.
