PUBLIC HEARINGS
a.
Certificate of Appropriateness 16-74 - Install fence and gates - 732 Delaware Avenue
Mr. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board.
Mr. Benton explained the single family home is located in a C-1 Office/Commercial zoning district, therefore the city code does not require the landscape buffer to be encumbered by the owner of the commercial plaza next door. If the home was zoned residential, the city code would require a 6 foot wall, fence or opaque hedge to be put in place by the commercial plaza.
Motion was made by Mr. Broderick and seconded by Mr. Hayek to follow staff recommendations to include the 4 foot gated area in the front, the two 6 foot gated areas adjacent to the side access points to the house, the six foot board on board fence along the rear of the property line, 6 foot board on board fence line running north to south to the wood shed and subsequently the board on board fence running to the back side of the property of the house line and indicated by the red dash, where staff has indicated a 6 foot picket fence, would be installed for esthetic purposes to approve the layout.
The applicant asked for clarification of the drawing created by staff and explained she is looking for safety and security in a fence on the side of her home that is next to the commercial plaza. The applicant stated she would plant some trees along the fence.
Motion was withdrawn.
Michael Mcleod added that if the existing landscaping is maintained and a fence is installed, the applicant will get the security she desires and at the same time the character of the property will be maintained as it is right now.
Board discussion ensued.

Board discussion ensued.
Motion was made by Suzanne Boardman, and seconded by Holly Theuns to approve a white picket fence in the front, with a 4 foot gate up to the house and after the house a 6 foot board on board fence for the entire continuation due to safety and privacy reasons and due to similar fences in the area. Also, provide a landscape buffer on one side of the fence, closest to the commercial plaza, to add more of an esthetic appeal and in keeping with Secretary of Interior Standards 2 and 9.
