A. 

Except as this chapter provides, no building or structure or part thereof within an historic district shall be constructed or altered or razed in any way that affects the exterior architectural features as visible from a public way unless a certificate of appropriateness, a certificate of nonapplicability or a certificate of hardship, with respect to such construction or alteration, is obtained.

B. 

Any person who desires to obtain a certificate of appropriateness, a certificate of nonapplicability or a certificate of hardship, as the case may be, shall submit an application in such form as the Commission may reasonably determine, together with such plans, elevations, specifications, material and other information, including in the case of demolition or removal a statement of the proposed condition and appearance of the property thereafter, as may be reasonably deemed necessary by the Commission to enable it to make a determination on the application.

C. 

No building permit for construction of a building or structure or for alteration of an exterior architectural feature within an historic district and no demolition permit for demolition or removal of a building or structure within an historic district shall be issued by the Town or any department thereof until the certificate required by this section has been issued by the Commission.
