Anne style residence. The owner, Ms. Crumlish, wished to carry out a two-part project: --replace two evergreen shrubs in the front yard with three spireas and three burning bushes (more traditional foliage) --remove fragmented, deteriorated fencing on the property line b/t 1021 and 1025, and replace with a 41" picket fence to match the original gate. He distributed photos of the site, and invited Ms. Crumlish to make a statement. She said that, according to her neighbor, Mr. Shanafelt, a life-long resident, the existing picket fence was apx. 20 years old. He had also said that a fence had been on that property line for at least 50 years. The existing fence was deteriorated and unsightly, and no longer functional. She wished to restore its original usefulness and appearance. She listed the addresses of four other properties within the district which had similar fences. At this point, Mr. Oxian pointed out that the staff had recommended in favor of the fence. Mr. Herendeen moved to approve the staff recommendation. Mr. Welsheimer seconded the motion. Approved unanimouslv. 2. 1071 Riverside Drive--LHD Mr. Holycross summarized the staff report and distributed photographs. He reported that the house had a new owner, Mr. Moran. Mr. Moran was not present. The project was to replace the existing sidewalk with a sidewalk of larger dimensions, and to add a concrete patio to the rear of the house. The patio was to be linked to the house. Mr. Holycross recommended exactly replacing the existing sidewalk in materials and dimensions. He recommended approving the patio, but stipulated that it should not extend past the rear corners of the house in length, nor should it be more than 15' wide. He said he had given these recommendations to the owner's representative, Mr. Murphy, but had not seen or spoken with the new owner. Mr. Oxian suggested sending the staff recommendations to the new owner, and advising him that, if he did not contest these recommendations at next month's meeting, they would become legally binding. Mrs. DeRose said it was not necessary to make that condition, since it was already part of the official procedure.
