Corrected 10/04/99 Ms. Moorehead asked if the Commission could give approval with the condition that the Northeast Neighborhood Center gets a signed lease from the City. Ms. DeRose stated that the Commission could approve the application in principal only. Ms. Gallagher stated that the Commission could give verbal feed back to Ms. Moorehead so she would not have to come back to answer questions next month when the application comes before the Commission again. Mrs. DeRose again stated that the Commission could not give a Certificate of Appropriateness to anyone but the owner. Mr. Oxian stated that the next Commission meeting will be in two weeks. Ms. Moorehead stated that she would make sure that Mrs. DeRose would receive a copy of the signed lease by the Historic Preservation Commission's next meeting. Mrs. Hostetler moved to give preliminary approval to the application until owner approval has been obtained. Mrs. Gallagher seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 2. 1999-0721 - 1501 East Wayne, landscaping. Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He also noted that the owner, Mr. Axelberg, was present with his designer. Mr. Fine stated that he had met with the owner to discuss the project. He went on to note that there were two areas of concern, one, the hedgerow and two, the -type of material proposed for the rear yard fence. Mr. Axelberg noted that the reason the project has been proposed is to give their daughter a safe play area. He also noted that they would like to install a wrought iron gate between the brick pillars located between the house and garage and that he would like to install a black coated chain link fence from the sunroom to the rear property line and hide it with plantings and shrubs. Mr. Fine stated that since the proposed fence sight was so visible from the street that a different, more decorative, fence may be more appropriate. Mr. Oxian asked what type of changes were being proposed for the driveway. Mr. Axelberg stated that currently the driveway is a straight shot onto Twyckenham Street. He further noted that adding a turn around and shifting the path of the driveway would make getting out onto Twyckenham safer. Mr. Axelberg asked if the other concern was the solid hedgerow. Mr. Fine stated that East Wayne Streets requirements for open flowing lawns might be in conflict with the proposed hedgerow. There was some discussion over where the hedgerow would go. Mr. Axelberg stated that it would start at the rear property line and go to the corner of East Wayne and Twyckenham, cut across the front of the house to the driveway and continue north from the other side of the driveway. Mr. Oxian recommended that the fence and the hedge be approved, stating that the hedge would hide the fence. Mr. Axelberg noted that a higher hedge would be located next to the fence to hide it and give privacy to the proposed patio. He further noted that a lower hedgerow would be used around the property line to lower sound pollution. Mr. Axelberg asked if a prefabricated storage barn could be placed in the farthest northeast corner of the property. Mrs. Hostetler asked if it would be temporary structure. Mrs. Gallagher asked if a foundation would be laid for it. Mr. Axelberg stated that no foundation would be laid, thus, making the shed a temporary structure. Mr. Fine stated that plans for the shed would have to be submitted to the Commission. 2
