1. The commission will prepare and make available applications for certificates of appropriateness to applicants desiring to erect, reconstruct, alter, restore, move or demolish any structure within the district, and may establish a reasonable fee to cover the cost of processing an application.

2. The commission may issue guidelines or bulletins and instruction sheets from time to time setting forth the general policies of the commission, design criteria, projects or work that may be undertaken without a certificate of appropriateness, and such other information and data which the commission deems necessary to better inform and assist applicants in submitting their applications for such certificates.

3. All applications for certificates of appropriateness must be filed with the office of the commission and must remain a part of its records.

4. Every application must be accompanied by drawings or plans of the proposed alteration, additions or changes, and for new construction of buildings or property use, signed by the person, architect, or draftsman who prepared them. As used in this subsection, "drawing" means plans and exterior elevation drawn to scale with sufficient detail to show, so far as they relate to exterior appearances, the architectural design of buildings, including proposed materials, textures and colors, including samples of materials or color samples, and the plot plan or site lay- out, including all improvements affecting appearances, such as walls, walks, terraces, planting, accessory buildings, signs, lights and other elements.

5. In the case of an application to alter or add to a structure within the district, the application must be accompanied by legible photographs of all sides of the structure. In the case of applications for demolition of structures, the applicant shall submit legible photographs of all sides of the building under consideration and photographs showing contiguous properties. In the case of an application to construct a new building in the district, the application must be accompanied by legible photographs of the adjoining properties.
