OBJECTIVES OF THE VILLAGE OF PLEASANTVILLE
Responders to the RFP must demonstrate an understanding, acceptance of, and adherence to the following objectives of the Village of Pleasantville:
1. Structural rehabilitation shall result in the preservation, restoration and replication of original architectural treatments and features circa 1896. Project concepts will be evaluated using the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. These preservation principles are as follows:
· Choose new uses that minimize changes to character-defining features.
· Retain distinguishing qualities and characteristics.
· Repair existing features, materials and finishes. If deteriorated, replace in-kind.
· Be authentic: if a feature is missing, use historic documentation to guide replacement.
· Respect the evolution of historic changes, fashion, taste and use.
· Do not use treatments that damage historic materials.
· New construction should not destroy historic features or materials, nor alter historic character.
2. Alterations and/or repairs shall not materially expand or contract the original building envelope circa 1896. Lot 14 shall remain open and green as a side yard to the principal structure.
3. The responder agrees to take title to premises “as is, where is”. The Village makes no representations other than to state it will deliver title free and clear.
4. The intended use is to conform to R2-A permitted uses and to adhere to the supplemental design guidelines set forth in the Village Zoning Code for properties located within the Special Character Overlay District. If responder proposes a use other than a permitted use, the responder must advise if its offer and proposal is contingent upon the issuance of a variance by the Zoning Board of Appeals.
5. The conveyance by the Village will be subject to deed restrictions and/or covenants on both subject parcels to ensure that the architectural features, design, and character of the building, as well as green spaces, are preserved.
6. The plan for restoration (including time to perform) must be approved by the Village Board and will be specified and set forth in the contract of sale. Changes proposed thereafter must be agreed to by the Village Board.
