On the -other hand, the neighbors on either side have deteriorating fences similar to the <br />one this On <br />seeks, and there are other such fences in the neighborhood. <br />Staff recommends that if the fence is approved, it be approved only under several <br />conditions: First, that no mature or significant trees be injured in the installation, second, <br />that at least one of the suggestions made by the Building Department for ease of maintenance <br />be adopted, and third, that the fence across the front of the back yard, and across the alley <br />from the neighbors yard be either more moderate in height, (i.e., 4' to 51) or be screened from <br />the neighbor's view by appropriate landscaping, or both. <br />(2) PORCH: <br />The foundations of the porch are crumbling, the vertical balusters are missing (Note: we <br />never issues a CofA for their removal), the steps are crumbling, and the paint is pealing off. <br />Detailed plans for repair or reconstruction have not been submitted. Staff recommends approval <br />of the application conditional upon restoration of the porch's original historic appearance, <br />with: (a) 1" square wooden vertical balusters spaced at 2" to 3" intervals, running from the <br />porch rail down to the ground support, <br />(b) square pillars at the corners of the porch and one in the middle, running from the rood <br />down to the ground support or foundation, and <br />(C) the front steps maintaining their original width and style. <br />
