The Bangor Historic Preservation Commission will hold a special meeting on Oct. 29 to review the city’s guidelines for how historic buildings should be preserved and potentially make recommendations to city councilors. The group plans to “fine tune and clarify the language on process, criteria and the allowances for economic hardship,” said Anne Krieg, Bangor’s economic development director. That meeting will come a few weeks after the commission voted on Oct. 9 to give resident Steven Farren retroactive permission to keep the asphalt roof he put on his home, which sits in the city’s Broadway Historic District, after two Bangor boards denied his request.
