X. - The Certificate of Appropriateness:

1.

After approving an application, the Committee shall issue a Certificate of Appropriateness, within 60 days, for the work proposed in that application. This Certificate shall be sent to the Applicant, with copies to the City Council and Building Inspector.

Each certificate issued by the Committee shall be dated and signed by the Chairman or the Secretary.

Any applicant wishing to make any design changes after a Certificate of Appropriateness has been issued must file a new application for those changes.

In the case of an application, which has been disapproved, the Committee shall record the reasons for such a determination and shall send a notice of these reasons to the applicant. Copies of this document shall be sent to the City Council and the Building Commissioner.

Any applicant or abutter wishing to contest the approval or disapproval of an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness may have recourse to the remedies noted in section 12A of Chapter 40C of the Massachusetts General Laws.
