Wednesday, September 7, 2022, 7:00 p.m. Gregory Smith, Chair Vernell Doyle Lloyd Yavener, Vice Chair Michael Lushbaugh Ann Aldrich Courtney Lowery Brianna Candelaria Jeffrey A. Cline, BOCC Rep HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, MARYLAND WWW.WASHCO-MD.NET 747 Northern Avenue | Hagerstown, MD 21742 | P: 240.313.2430 | F: 240.313.2431 | TDD: 7-1-1 Property Owner Address 1 Address 2 City, State, Zip Dear Property Owner, Your property(PROPERTY INFORMATION) (PROPERTY INFORMATION) (PROPERTY INFORMATION) has a zoning overlay in addition to your underlying zoning called the Historic Preservation Overlay. This overlay offers the benefit of the ability to apply for County Property Tax Credits for qualifying exterior work completed on the structures within the overlay. In exchange, any required building permits which affect the exterior of the structures are subject to the review of the Historic District Commission (HDC). The HDC uses the Secretary of Interior (SOI) Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation and the County’s Design Guidelines for Historic Structures when reviewing projects to ensure the property’s unique features are retained. The HDC and staff wanted to reach out to all property owners with a current HP overlay to open a dialogue and provide updates that have occurred in the County that may affect the owners of historic properties. The HDC adopted Design Guidelines for Historic Structures in June of 2022, which can be viewed on the HDC’s website: https://www.washco-md.net/planning-zoning/historic-district- commission/. This document follows the SOI Guidelines and expands with more local information. Also on the HDC’s website, there are additional customer resource pages and access to HDC Agendas, Minutes and Certified Local Government Annual Reporting. The HDC has added web maps to help easily visualize and locate historic resources. The maps have also been updated this year to include cemetery data. The HDC encourages HP Overlay property owners to review the information on the site, specifically the information related to the Tax Credit Program. The ordinance, application and additional State and Federal credit options are all provided for owners as you consider a qualifying exterior project. As a reminder, tax credit applications must be received prior to the start of work to ensure the work will qualify for local credit. The tax credit does not have to be for work requiring a permit. Enclosed is a brochure prepared by the Historical Advisory Committee and the HDC for your reference. Since your property contains a resource within the HP Overlay, the HDC also wanted to determine if there were any additional programs or assistance that could be provided to help with the retention of the resource. Please reach out with any suggestions or considerations that the HDC should undertake. Thank you for your stewardship of a historic resource in Washington County. The HDC looks forward to working with you in the future.
