STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: Chapin Park: <br />I. THE ENVIRONMENT <br />B. BUILDING SITE, LANDSCAPING & ACCESSORIES <br />This section focuses on individual properties and amenities. Building sites tend to be irregularly shaped, of <br />varying topography and with different setbacks with regard to plots. Alleys are generally behind houses. <br />Landscape accessories like fences are unique to each structure. Chapin Place presents a unique situation <br />within the district. Applications from properties that have property lines on Chapin Place will be considered <br />on a case-by-case basis. <br />Required <br />Fencing, walkways, outbuildings, private yard lights, signs (i.e. house numbers) and benches (visible from <br />the street) as well as trees located in a yard or tree lawn which reflect the property's history and <br />development shall be retained. A tree located in such areas shall only be removed if the removal is required <br />due to storm damage, disease, threatened damage to a structure or for such other reason acceptable to the <br />Historic Preservation Commission. Storm damaged or diseased trees should then be replaced with an <br />approved species at the same or approximate location wherever possible. Fencing visible from the street in <br />front of the structure shall be open (meaning spaces between the pickets) and consistent with the historic <br />character of a structure enclosed. <br />Recommended <br />New site work should be based upon actual knowledge of the past appearance of the property found in <br />photographs, drawings and newspapers. New site work should also be appropriate to existing surrounding <br />site elements in scale, type and appearance. Front yard areas should remain open. (See above for <br />information regarding fences.) Trees in close proximity to a building may cause structural damage. Owners <br />are encouraged to remove these trees and replace (or replant) them at a more appropriate location as soon <br />as planting season permits and upon approval of a <br />C of A. <br />Prohibited <br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, outbuildings <br />or other elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and development. Front yard <br />areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped, nor enclosed by solid fences, <br />chain link, nor industrial/commercial style fences. The installation of unsightly large devices, such as <br />television satellite dishes, skylights or solar panels, shall not be permitted in areas where they detract from <br />the architecture of a building, are <br />intrusive to the public view of the building or are highly visibly from a public street, or ruled inappropriate <br />after Commission review. Utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they <br />cannot be seen <br />from a street. The Commission will evaluate all installations as well as any potential exceptions resulting <br />from special circumstances, before granting a C of A. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to exchange existing decorative fence to a <br />functional "dog ear" wood privacy fence and extending the perimeter around to the side door and neighbors <br />driveway. <br />Commission discussion regarding the appropriateness of replacing a 4' painted <br />Gothic picket style wood decorative fence with a 6' natural finish dog eared style <br />wood privacy fence. <br />On a motion by Jerry Niezgodski to continue application so that homeowner may work <br />with staff regarding options of fence styles with a second by Linda Riley <br />Vote: 4-0 <br />COA 2010-0503D was continued with a unanimous vote. <br />B.
