Under <br />the requirements of this ordinance, a Certificate of Appropriateness (CoA) is required for any activity in the district <br />which requires a building permit or which alters the appearance of a building or site. Painting of previously painted <br />surfaces is released from this requirement and requires no approval. Consideration by the Historic Preservation <br />Commission of proposed repairs or alterations is guided by the following set of guidelines which have been <br />developed in cooperation with neighborhood representatives and have been adopted by referendum of the district <br />property owners. <br />C. LAWNS <br />The current or historic landscaping character of lawns should be preserved. Paving and blacktopping of existing <br />lawns so as to transform them essentially into parking lots or spaces rather than residential <br />lawns must be prohibited. Front yard areas, trees, and lawns must remain open. Fencing in front yards is prohibited. <br />A fence on the Michigan Street side of lots 12 and 13 may be permitted if done in a distinctive way and is <br />compatible with the character of the structures on these lots, with consideration being made for the high density and <br />speed of traffic on Michigan Street. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval as landscaping follows the guidelines for the West <br />North Shore District. <br />C.D. Hostetler, Director <br />
