Dimensions: 8'x 4'x 8' in length, approximately 18" in height, and approximately 6" in width. Ms. Kotzbauer related District standards stating that new site elements, such as a retaining wall, shall be compatible in size, scale, material, and color. Ms. Kotzbauer stated that the proposed retaining wall matched (size, scale, material, and color) an already existing retaining wall that borders the remainder of the front yard area. Ms. Kotzbauer recommended that the HPC approve the proposal because of the aforementioned reason. Mr. Holycross stated that the project was begun without a COA and stated that staff has been in touch with the owner, informed him of COA procedures and that the owner was cooperative and willing to rectify the problem. 1
