Nominations shall be made on official nomination forms provided by the City of Sammamish department of community development or the historic preservation officer, shall be filed with the department, and shall include all data required by the historic preservation officer. 2. Upon receipt by the department of any nomination for designation, the department shall forward the nomination to the historic preservation officer, who shall consult with the person or persons submitting the nomination, and the owner, and prepare any amendments to or additional information on the nomination deemed necessary by the historic preservation officer. The historic preservation officer may refuse to accept any nomination for which inadequate information is provided by the person or persons submitting the nomination. It is the responsibility of the person or persons submitting the nomination to perform such research as is necessary for consideration by the commission. The historic preservation officer may assume responsibility for gathering the required information or appoint an expert or experts to carry out this research in the interest of expediting the consideration. 3. When the historic preservation officer is satisfied that the nomination contains sufficient information and complies with the commission’s regulations for nomination, the historic preservation officer shall forward the nomination
to the historic preservation officer and the landmarks commission for consideration. The historic preservation officer shall give notice in writing, certified mail/return receipt requested, to the owner of the property or object, to the person submitting the nomination and interested persons of record that a preliminary or a designation determination on the nomination will be made by the commission.

A statement that, upon a designation or a preliminary determination of significance, no significant feature may be changed without first obtaining a certificate of appropriateness from the commission, whether or not a building or other permit is required. A copy of the provisions of SDC 21.06.080F. shall be included with the notice; e. A statement that all proceedings to review the action of the commission at the hearing on a preliminary determination or a designation will be based on the record made at such hearing and that no further right to present evidence on the issue of preliminary determination or designation is afforded pursuant to this chapter.
