REPORT OF : BOARD OF POLICE COMMISSIONERS

To Her Honor, the Mayor, and the Common Council of the City of New Britain:the undersigned beg leave to report the following:

ITEM #: 34217-1

Re: Stop Signs: Slater Road and James Avenue

** APPROVED: REINSTALL STOP SIGNS ON SLATER ROAD AT JAMES AVENUE - HI VISIBILITY SIGNS WITH REFLECTIVE POST MARKINGS **

On February 28, 2018, the Traffic Safety Bureau received petition number 34217 authored by Alderman Carlo Carlozzi, Alderman Katie Breslin, Alderman Richard Reyes and Alderman Francisco Santiago which stated “For the reinstallation of stop signs on Slater Road and James Avenue. The stop signs have been there for decades and residents have complained about near miss accidents, as motorists continue to stop despite the removal of signs. There have also been calls of concern regarding the ability for traffic to turn out of James Avenue safely without the appropriate signage for oncoming traffic.”

The stops signs governing vehicular traffic on Slater Road at James Avenue were removed on February 13, 2018 as approved under petition 33977 which is attached for reference. The Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Section 2B.05 along with the Connecticut Traffic Commission Regulation 14-298-523 dictate that Stop Signs are NOT warranted for Slater Road at James Avenue based on the following criteria:

Slater Road is the major roadway while James Avenue is the minor roadway Clear and sufficient sightlines exist in all directions for James Avenue at Slater Road Stop signs SHALL NOT be used for speed control Since February 13, 2018 there have been zero (0) motor vehicle crashes

Members of the Traffic Safety Bureau have monitored this intersection on numerous occasions since February 13, 2018 and have noted the following:

The average speed on Slater Road is 32 MPH to 34 MPH Vehicular traffic on Slater Road flows more smoothly as motorists are no longer required

to stop at James Avenue where the traffic volume is significantly lowero Slater Road’s hourly traffic volume is in excess of 10 times greater James

Avenue Residents in the James Avenue, Bay Avenue and Nancy Road areas may take an

alternate route by traveling to Osgood Avenue where they may enter Slater Road via an electronic traffic control signal. This alternate route’s greatest distance when traveling through that neighborhood is less than one half of a mile away from Slater Road and James Avenue

The Office of the Chief, the Traffic Safety Bureau and the City’s Department of Municipal Development are in the process of purchasing driver feedback speed limit signs that will be permanently installed on Slater Road.

It is my recommendation that the Board should deny this petition.

REPORT OF : Department of Public Works

To Her Honor, the Mayor, and the Common Council of the City of New Britain:the undersigned beg leave to report the following:

ITEM #: 34233

RE: Installation of Additional Street Lighting

As a cost saving measure the City is currently in the process of purchasing the approximate 5,800 street lights in the City which are owned by Eversource. Once the lights have been acquired the City intends to convert the lighting to energy efficient LED lighting.

As part of the LED conversion a lighting study is being performed and lighting levels on all streets are being looked at. This is important because LED lights function differently than the current high pressure sodium lighting. The plan is to make adjustments as needed when the new LED lights are installed.

Chapman Street, Linden Street, Belden Street and Jubilee Street will be included in the study.

C. Provisional Appointments. When an appointing authority finds it essential to fill a vacancy and the Civil Service Commission is unable to certify eligibles for such vacancy because there is no existing appropriate certified employment list, or because there is not a sufficient number of persons on appropriate certified employment lists, who are willing to accept appointment, the Civil Service Commission may authorize the appointing authority to fill the vacancy by means of a provisional appointment. No provisional appointment shall be made without the prior approval of the Director of Human Resources and no payment shall be made for services rendered by the appointee prior to such approval. A provisional appointment shall expire automatically six (6) months from the date of such appointment and shall not be subject to renewal.

If there is more than one vacancy, the Civil Service Commission will certify one additional name from the appropriate category (rank or domicile), if available, for each additional position vacancy. Practically, this may mean forwarding names from each category (rank or domicile) in a "back-up" status, until such time as the first appointment is made and it is known from which category (rank or domicile) the 28

7

If a vacancy and/or an available police academy seat does not become available, the applicant will be required to reapply.

If the applicant passes the Wonderlic Examination, with a fit score of 50 or higher, the applicant shall be eligible for appointment for a period not to exceed one year. The Human Resources Director shall report to the Civil Service Commission at the next regularly scheduled meeting the names of those applicants who pass the Wonderlic Examination however the Commission will not be required to certify the employment list.

12

character, physical fitness, or any other qualifications which in the judgment of the Civil Service Commission will assist in determining the relative fitness of applicants.

In the event an open competitive examination is not conducted in accordance with the concepts of merit and fitness, the examination shall be declared null and void by the Civil Service Commission and any person appointed to a position from the certified open competitive employment list in connection with said examination shall be removed and, if applicable restored to his/her former position.

Any appeals of test items would have to be filed before leaving the examination site, on appeal forms provided by the monitor. Only appeals which address clerical or typographical errors or clearly obsolete questions will be considered. There will be no appeals on oral, typing, practical or experience and training examinations.

H. Appeals must be filed prior to leaving the examination site as described in Rule VII G above. The Director of Human Resources will act upon the appeal(s) as soon after the test as deemed practicable.

The decision of the Director of Human Resources will be forwarded to all individuals who took the test, in 35

14

writing. The decision of the Director of Human Resources shall be final, and no further appeals may be submitted as a result of the disposition of the appeals by the Director of Human Resources.

Individuals may contact the Human Resources Office for a verification of scoring so that, administratively, grades may be verified. The individual may make an appointment to review his or her examination sheet with the examination key in the presence of the examination monitor.

a. Entrance Salary Rates. Starting Rate on Initial EmploymentNon-Bargaining Unit Employees. Original appointment from the entrance rate to the maximum rate within a pay range shall be by successive steps, for all non-bargaining unit positions. Upon recommendation of the Director of Human Resources, the Commission may approve initial compensation at a rate higher than the minimum rate in the pay range for the class when the needs of the service so require provided that any such exception is based on the outstanding qualifications and ability over and above the minimum qualification requirements specified for the class, or that a critical shortage of applicants exists.

In the latter case, any incumbents in the same class receiving a lower rate shall have their rates increased to the rate established for entrance of new employees.

b. Starting Rate on Return to Duty. When an employee returns to duty in the same class position after a separation from the City service of not more than one (1) year, which separation was not due to discreditable circumstances, such employee shall receive the rate in the pay range at the step corresponding to the step of the rate received at the time of separation and shall subsequently serve for at least such period as is normally required for advancement to the next higher rate.

c. Starting Rate on Return from Military Service. Any employee who leaves or who has left the City service to enter the active service of theArmed Forces of the United States, and who subsequently is reinstated to a position previously held by him/her, shall be entitled to receive the rate of compensation at the step to which he/she would have been entitled had his/her service with the City not been interrupted by service in the ArmedForces.

d. Compensation for Supervisors. All supervisors shall be paid at a higher rate than their subordinates. In the event that a supervisor is paid a rate of pay equal to or lower than one or more of his/her duty assigned subordinates, on the base schedule, the supervisor shall be advanced to a step in his/her salary range which will provide him/her with a rate of pay one increment higher than any subordinate, regardless of the supervisor's length of service. In the event that there are no remaining steps in the basepay schedule, an equity adjustment to maintain the five percent differential shall be authorized over and above the base pay schedule.

44

23

e. Maintenance Deductions. Employees of the City who are provided with personnel maintenance (including lodging and/or meals) shall have the cashvalue of such maintenance deducted from their individual compensation. Such cash value shall be determined by the Department Head involved with the approval of the Common Council.

f. Salary Adjustment on Demotion.

1. In the event of reclassification or reallocation of a position to a class of a lower grade, the employee concerned shall continue to be paid at his/her former rate and be eligible for salary advances to higher rates, if any, in the lower range.

2. Reclassification of a position to another class of the same grade shall not affect the salary being received by the employee concerned.

3. If an employee accepts a demotion voluntarily, his/her salary shall be at his/her former rate or at the maximum rate of the lower range, whichever is the lower.

g. Rate of Pay on Promotion.

1. In any case where an employee is promoted to a class with a higher maximum pay, the entrance rate shall be at the lowest step in the higher range that will provide a minimum increase of 5% over the rate received immediately prior to such promotion. Advancement to the maximum step subsequent to promotion will be on the same basis as described in 2(b) below.

2. Probation and Advancement Within a Compensation Range.

a. After initial appointment or promotion to a non-bargaining unit position in the classified service, the first one (1) year of service in that position shall be considered the period of probation. Upon satisfactory conclusion of the six months ofservice, the salary of the employee shall be advanced one-half of the increment to the next higher step in the compensation range for the class to which his/her position is allocated.

b. Upon satisfactory completion of the first year of service in a position, the employee shall be advanced to the next higher rate in the appropriate compensation range. Subsequent advancement within the compensation range shall be made

45

24

upon the recommendation of the Department Head concerned and the approval of the appointing authority provided that advancement shall be made on the basis of meritorious service and improvement in performance of job duties, and provided that the employee concerned has completed at least one year of service at his/her current rate in the appropriate class grade. Such advancement shall be made annually in the accordance with the above provisions until the employee has reached the maximum rate of the range for his/her position. Pay adjustments shall be made effective at the pay period immediately following the date of eligibility therefor.

c. Recommendations for Salary Advancement Within Grade. The Department Head concerned shall recommend in writing to the Director of Human Resources the advancement in salary or wage of each employee in his/her department who has met the requirements for advancement as enumerated above. In the case of advancement upon completion of the initial six (6) months in aposition, the recommendation shall include the certification that the probationary period has been successfully completed. In the case of subsequent advancements within each compensation range the recommendation shall include a certification that the employee has achieved the minimum overall satisfactory rating.

d. Requirements as to Continuity of Service. Service requirements for advancement within pay ranges and for other purposes as specified in this ordinance, shall have the implication of continuous service, which means employment in the City service without break or interruption. All leaves of absence with pay and leaves without pay of thirty (30) or less days shall not interrupt continuous service nor be deducted therefrom. Absences on leave without pay in excess of thirty (30) days, except for extended service with the Armed Forces of the United States, shall be deducted in computing total service but shall not serve to interrupt continuous service. All absences without leave in excess of three consecutive work days shall be deducted from and shall interrupt continuity of service.

e. Any employee who is reclassified and who would normally have been paid within thirty (30) days a higher rate of pay by having remained in a lower classification shall receive the next highest step of the new class, effective. upon the date of reclassification, promotion or modification. 46

h. Permanent, part-time employees shall be initially employed at hourly rates approved by the Civil Service Commission and Common Council and will be eligible for any general wage adjustment which is implemented during their employment in like positions.

For the purpose of this section, an employee must work a total of 1,885 hours on an annualbasis in order to be eligible to advance to the next step. Compensation for part-time work shall be in direct proportion

27 West Main Street

New Britain, Connecticut 06051

Re: Item No. 34199 Beehive Bridge

Dear Mayor Stewart and Members of the Common Council,

At Connecticut Main Street Center our mission is to be the catalyst that ignites Connecticut's

downtowns as the cornerstone of thriving communities. We do this by providing education and

technical assistance, and championing policies that encourage and support robust downtowns. We

have long partnered with the City of New Britain in advocacy and funding important initiatives in your

downtown. I am writing to express our strong support for the Beehive Bridge project, and to illuminate

the opportunity and benefits to the future of New Britain.

Downtown is a critical element of New Britain’s economic well-being. Not only does it contain your

history and identity, but it is a unique living organism that affects how people engage. Because

downtowns foster meaningful interactions in a connected environment, they are necessary for

competing in the future economy.

New Britain policymakers can help drive the City’s economy by supporting a downtown-focused strategy

toward policy and investment. This includes investing in infrastructure, public-private partnerships

through important programs like Tax Increment Financing (TIF), further supporting transit oriented

development (TOD), and embracing mixed-use development. Studies indicate that downtowns generate

more tax revenue per acre than standard suburban strip development. Investments downtown have a

better return on their investment for building the community’s tax base.

The City has completed significant infrastructure investments such as Central Park, streetscapes, and

your downtown’s impressive Complete Streets plan. These projects have set the stage for ongoing

private investment in transit oriented development in and around your downtown. We applaud your

efforts and note that you have received awards and recognition both in Connecticut and nationally for

progressive and innovative leadership in downtown placemaking.

2017 CT Main Street Keystone Award 2015 Award of Excellence from CT Main Street

More than ever, people want to live and work in interesting, walkable and authentic places. In fact, in

Connecticut, quality-of-life - with features like transportation choices, affordability, parks and

entertainment - is the most important factor for adults when choosing where to live. Young talent are

looking for places that inspire creativity and generate serendipitous and spontaneous exchanges of rich

ideas that support their own personal and professional pursuits. They are not merely looking for a job;

they are seeking a network in an environment that stimulates and inspires. New Britain has begun to

attract the type of private investment and development that will draw people and jobs to downtown.

Ribbon Cutting at 99 West Main Street TOD Columbus Commons TOD

a partnership with CT Main Street Groundbreaking

The City established a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District to promote TOD. Your downtown teems

with beautiful artwork, and new vibrancy at the CCSU campus and Walnut Hill Park. Constructing the

Beehive Bridge project is a logical continuation of your impressive downtown achievements. Connecting

Little Poland to CTfastrak and downtown development opportunities will be an important investment in

the City’s future. This project will improve the livability and attractiveness of downtown New Britain as

well as making the downtown area more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, a more desirable place to live,

98

and a destination for TOD. This investment will result in increased property taxes from new investments

downtown, as well as increased property values of existing properties.

The Connecticut Main Street Center recommends the completion of the Beehive Bridge project, and we

wish the City of New Britain continued success in downtown economic development.

Sincerely,

Patrick J. McMahon

March 6, 2018 The Honorable Erin E. Stewart Mayor of New Britain 27 West Main Street New Britain, CT 06051 RE: Beehive Bridge Project Letter of Support Dear Mayor Stewart, Xenolith Partners LLC, the designated developer for 125 Columbus Blvd. in New Britain, is pleased to submit this letter of support for the construction of the Beehive Bridge Project. When the City of New Britain issued the RFP for 125 Columbus Blvd. in December 2015, we were excited by the opportunity to invest in a downtown area that was becoming increasingly walkable and transit-oriented. Xenolith’s proposal for Columbus Commons, the $58MM two-phase development to be located at 125 Columbus Blvd., will include approximately 160 rental units and 20,000+ SF of ground-floor retail space that will serve to activate the streetscape and further rejuvenate the downtown economy. Xenolith is in the process of closing on the construction financing for the first phase and expects to start construction next month. Phase one of Columbus Commons is being financed with a combination of private and State financing sources, including $5MM in Urban Act Funds from the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD). This important resource is allocated on a competitive basis and was awarded to Columbus Commons because of the project’s potential to improve the walkability, safety, access to amenities and jobs, and creation of mixed-income rental units in a downtown that hasn’t seen significant development in over 40 years. Furthermore, Xenolith was able to secure the DECD funding by showing that it would leverage other significant investments in the downtown, such as the streetscape and infrastructure improvements that have already been completed or are underway. The Beehive Bridge Project was a key part of this assumption given its ability to make the downtown more inviting, calm traffic, and improve connectivity to Little Poland for cyclists and pedestrians alike. Xenolith looks forward to seeing the completion of the Beehive Bridge Project as both private and public partners alike continue to invest in the revitalization of New Britain’s downtown. Kind Regards, Terri Belkas-Mitchell Principal

To Her Honor, the Mayor, and the Common Council of the City of New Britain:the undersigned beg leave to recommend the adoption of the following:

WHEREAS, Public Bid No. 3936 was solicited and received in accordance with the Purchasing Ordinances of the City of New Britain for the Purchase of Chemicals, Fertilizers, Grasses and Pesticides for the Recreation and Community Services Department and the Stanley Golf Course; and

WHEREAS, Funding is available for these purchases within the Recreation and Community Services Department’s Account Number 001419003-5659, Horticulture, Operating Materials and Supplies and the Stanley Golf Course’s account number 201420101-5616, Golf Course, Chemicals and Fertilizers; and

WHEREAS, Invitations to bid were solicited and the bid was duly advertised in the New Britain Herald Newspaper, the City and State of Connecticut’s Department of Administration Services websites, e-mailed to sixteen (16) and mailed to twenty-four (24) Chemical, Fertilizer, Grass and Pesticide Companies. The Purchasing Agent did not receive any letters from the Chemical, Fertilizer, Grass and Pesticide Companies on the mailing list indicating they could not provide a response to the bid request. The responses were received as per the attached; and.

WHEREAS, The bids were reviewed for conformance with specifications by the Recreation and Community Services Department and the Stanley Golf Course Administration as well as the Purchasing Agent. Considerations in determining the awards were:

In some instances two awards were made. Patents on the formulations of many previously purchased products have run out, and generic forms have emerged. In those cases a brand name and a generic product have been chosen. Generics, which do not have a proven track record, will be tested during the season.

Ties were awarded in accordance with City of New Britain Code of Ordinance section 2-573.

In some cases it appears that the low bidder was not selected; however, not all bidders submitted responses on the correct unit size. Conversions were made by Golf Course Administration for comparison.

In some cases Bidders supplied the same prices because they are agency priced by the manufacturer so all distributors must sell at the same price for specific Pesticides. This will enable the Parks and Recreation

113

Department and the Stanley Golf Course to obtain the needed items if one of the distributors cannot supply them in a timely manner.

WHEREAS, the Director of the Recreation and Community Services Department is recommending that the bid be awarded to following companies: Charles Hart Seed Company of Wethersfield, CT, Tom Irwin, Inc. of Burlington, MA, Harrell LLC of Lakeland, FL, US Patchcare of Northford, CT, SiteOne Landscaping Supplies of Cleveland, OH, EH Turf Supply of Exeter, RI, Seeton Turf Warehouse, LLC of Cranbury, NJ, MetroTurf Specialist of Brookfield, CT, The Cardinals, Inc. of Unionville, CT, Winding Brook Turf of Wethersfield, CT and Plant Food Company, Inc. of Cranbury, NJ; and

ARTICLE X. CITY OF NEW BRITAIN HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION Sec. 19-140. Findings.

The Common Council of the City of New Britain ("council") finds that there exists within the City of New Britain ("city"), many structures, parks, neighborhoods and other areas that have had historic, architectural and economic significance during New Britain's past and which can continue to contribute toward a healthy and thriving future for the city. The council finds that the city's ability to protect, preserve and effectively utilize its architectural and historical heritage and character for aesthetic and economic recovery will be enhanced by an historic preservation ordinance that establishes a mechanism to identify, preserve and enhance distinctive areas, sites, structures and objects that have historic, cultural, architectural, artistic, archeological and environmental significance. The council finds that the city derives much of its charm and unique appearance from its architecture and from its history, especially as the "Hardware Capitol of the World" and a manufacturing center of nationwide importance. The council further finds that historic and architectural preservation is a means of promoting the general welfare and economic development of the city and its residents. In furtherance thereof and pursuant to its authority under the Charter of the City of New Britain and under the Home Rule Act, section 7-147 of the General Statutes, the council has enacted this article. (Res. No. 31540-2, 9-14-11)

Sec. 19-141. Purpose and intent.

(5) Providing a resource for information, education and expertise to those interested in rehabilitation or construction in an historic district or of an historic structure;

(6) Fostering civic pride in the city's history and development patterns;

(7) Protecting and enhancing neighborhood character;

(8) Fostering and encouraging preservation, restoration and rehabilitation that respects the historic, cultural, architectural and archeological significance of distinctive areas, sites, structures and objects; and

(9) Applying design standards in a reasonable and flexible manner to prevent the unnecessary loss of a community's historical features and to ensure compatible construction and rehabilitation in historic districts while not stifling change and development or forcing modern recreations of historic styles.

Within thirty (30) calendar days from demo delay review application, the Commission shall decide by majority vote whether to invoke recommend to the Common Council the demolition delay and shall notify the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections and the owner/applicant of their decision in writing. The Commission’s decision may not be postponed except by written agreement on the part of the owner/applicant.

In the event that the owner/applicant is uncooperative in participating in filing an application for historic review or in providing information deemed necessary for rendering a decision, the Commission may proceed in making a determination to institute a 180 day demolition delay, based on information made available to them through the Commission staff, theDirector of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections, public input and other sources.

Upon notification of the Commission that the building or structure is not subject to the demolition delay, or if the Commission fails to notify the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections of its decision within the allotted time, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections may proceed to issue a demolition permit.

Upon notification by the Commission staff that the building or structure is subject to the demolition delay, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections shall delay the issuance of a demolition permit for no more than (180) calendar days from the date that the Commission’s decision is rendered, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Commission. During that period, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections shall not issue any permits for new construction or alterations on the subject property.

Upon determination by the Common Council upon recommendation from theHistoric Preservation Commission that a building or structure is subject to the demolition delay, and within ten (10) calendar days from the date that the Commission’s Common Council’s decision is rendered, staff to the Historic Preservation Commission shall take the following actions:

A. The staff to the Historic Preservation Commission shall publish in a local newspaper having substantial circulation in the City a legal notice entitled a “Notice of Intent to Demolish” which shall include:

1. Notice that an application has been filed for a demolition permit;

2. The common name and actual street address of the building or structure to be demolished;

3. The name and address of the owner(s) of the building or structure to be demolished;

4. The age of the building or structure to be demolished; and

5. Notice that the Historic Preservation Commission has determined that the building or structure is subject to a demolition delay for a specified period of time.

B. The staff to the Historic Preservation Commission shall mail copies of the “Notice of Intent to Demolish” by Certified Mail with Return Receipt to the owners of all properties adjoining and across the street from the property on which the building or structure to be demolished is situated;

C. The staff to the Historic Preservation Commission shall mail copies of the “Notice of Intent to Demolish” by Certified Mail with Return Receipt to any person, organization, firm, corporation, or other entity who has requested, in writing, from the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections, copies of any such notices filed pursuant to this ordinance. The Historic Preservation Commission shall maintain the list of those requesting to be so notified, and shall delete from the list those who do not annually renew in January, in writing, the request to be notified; and

D. The owner/applicant shall post a sign in a conspicuous location of the property on which the structure is situated. The sign shall be at least 24” by 36” in size visible from the nearest public street. Such sign shall include a copy of the “Notice of Intent to Demolish” and shall contain the word “DEMOLITION” in capital letters no less than three inches in height. If there is more than one structure or building proposed for demolition, one sign shall be posted in respect to each structure. All signs required hereunder shall remain posted on the property, if the permit is issued, until the completion of all demolition activities authorized by the permit.

Sec. 19-155. EMERGENCY DEMOLITION

If after a thorough inspection, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections finds that a building or structure, subject to this chapter, poses an immediate threat to public health or safety due to its deteriorated condition and that there are no reasonable alternatives to the immediate demolition of the building or structure, then the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections may issue an emergency demolition permit to the owner of the building or structure. The Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections shall then submit a written report to the Historic Preservation Commission detailing the condition of the building or structure and the basis for Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections’ decision.

Sec. 19-156. ISSUANCE OF PERMIT

During the demolition delay period of up to 180 days from the date that the Commission’s Common Council’s decision is rendered, the owner of a historically significant property shall pursue and give due consideration to all possible alternatives to demolition, including preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, relocation, or detailed recordation of the affected building or structure. In order to avoid or mitigate the anticipated effects of demolition, the owner shall make a good faith effort to accommodate reasonable requests from any interested parties for information about or access to the building or structure for the purpose of evaluating alternatives to demolition.

No permit for demolition of a historically significant building or structure shall be issued by the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections until all plans for future use and development of the site have been filed with the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections and have been found to comply with all laws pertaining to the issuance of a building or zoning permit.

All approvals necessary for the issuance of such building or zoning permit, including without limitation any necessary zoning variances or special permits, must have been granted and all appeals from the granting of such approvals must have been concluded prior to the issuance of a demolition permit for a historically significant building or structure under this chapter.

If no viable alternatives to demolition are identified and accepted before the expiration of the demolition delay period, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections may proceed to act on the permit application.

Sec. 19-157. FEES AND COSTS FOR DEMOLITION PERMITS

The fees and costs for demolition permits are as provided for in Section 7-4 of this code.

142

15

Sec. 19-158. FEES FOR HISTORIC REVIEW HEARING

The Historic Preservation Commission may determine and recommend application fees for public hearings for the review of demolitions, sufficient to off-set costs of legal notification. Said fees shall be additional to those required for standarddemolition applications, per Section 7-4 of this code and shall be established in accordance with City Ordinance, Article IX, Sec. 19-130, as may be amended from time to time, and made payable to the Treasurer, City of New Britain, Connecticut.

Sec. 19-159. VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES

The staff to the Historic Preservation Commission and the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections are each specifically authorized to institute any and all actions or proceedings, in law or in equity, as they may deem necessary and appropriate to obtain compliance with the requirements of this chapter or to prevent a threatened violation thereof.

During the application processing period and during the demolition delay period, if applicable, the owner shall adequately maintain and protect the building or structure in order to prevent any further deterioration. Failure to do so shall be considered demolition by neglect and may be subject to penalties.

In the case of full or partial demolition of any building or structure in the absence of or in advance of a valid demolition permit, the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections shall impose a two-year restriction on the property during which no earthwork, landscaping, construction or further demolition may take place on the subject property or on any adjoining parcels under common ownership and control without the review and approval of the Historic Preservation Commission. The restriction may only be lifted by written agreement of the Director of Licenses, Permits, and Inspections and the Historic Preservation Commission.

Any persons failing to abide by the provisions of this chapter or Connecticut General Statutes Sections 29-401 through 29-415 shall be fined $1,000 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both, per day, as each day constitutes a separate violation, pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 29-254a. All fines imposed shall be collected and made payable to the Treasurer, City of New Britain, Connecticut.

Sec. 19-160. ADMINISTRATION

The Historic Preservation Commission may adopt such rules and regulations as are necessary to administer the terms of this chapter.

By majority vote at a duly posted meeting, the Commission may delegate to one or more members of the Commission or to a qualified City employee, the authority to make initial determinations of significance under this chapter.

143

16

The Commission may, on its own initiative and with information available to it, develop a list of significant buildings and structures that will be subject to this chapter. The initial adoption of the list and any subsequent additions to the list shall be enacted after public hearings on the subject.

Sec. 19-161. SEVERABILITY

In case any section, paragraph or part of this ordinance shall for any reason be declared invalid or unconstitutional by any court, every other section, paragraph and part shall remain in full force and effect.
