STAFF REPORT <br />Jeff Hyatt <br />1216 E. Wayne St. North <br />South Bend, IN 46615 <br />PROPOSAL <br />The owner proposes to install 122 ft. of 42" [%fight, 2-1/2" spaced <br />picket fence around approximately 20% of the yard in back of the <br />house, with one gate made to look like the fence. Materials <br />include western red cedar 1x4 dog-ear topped pickets,2x4 <br />stringers & gate. Wolmanized red pine 4x4 posts set in 2' cement <br />(see specs from Schuell Fence, enclosed). <br />STANDARDS_ <br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past <br />appearance of the property found in photographs, drawings, and <br />'newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing <br />surrounding site elements in scale, type, and appearance.... <br />Fences shall not extend forward beyand the setback line of the <br />house. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The staff recommends that the owner be permitted to install the <br />fence in his backyard. It would not detract from the site or the <br />neighborhood, and would be largely obscured from street view by <br />the house. <br />
