Russell Stapp/Hillbert-Lontz House Property Owner: Robert and Anastassia Cassady Landmark or District Designation: East Wayne Street Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two story brick Tudor Revival house has the original asbestos tile on the steep gable roof and paired metal casement windows: 3 x 3 lights and 4 x 4 lights. There is glass block in the south wall of the one story gabled section and again at the rear of the house next to a French door. There is a picture window in the rear wall in the first story. There is an attached garage with a gabled roof and dormer. The entire exterior is stucco with a half brick wall. There is an additional entrance on the north side of the house toward the front with a flat roof supported by a wrought iron railing system. The front door is solid wood. ALTERATIONS: The picture window and glass block in the rear are not original to the house. The additional side entrance with flat porch roof and wrought iron were later additions as well. COA 2013- 1004 approved new roof, windows, and guttering. COA 2015 -0501 approved driveway extension, patio installation, tree and plant installation, and fence installation. COA 2015 -1005 approved chimney replacement. APPLICATION ITEMS: We would like to add a wooden fence to the side yard of the home and along the back portion abutting the fence of a neighbor to the east of the property. The main function of this fence is safety for our children as the home is on Eddy Street. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: The owners have obtained a quote to install 247' of 6'high untreated cedar fence (either lap board or dog ear top) in the side yard and along the back of the property. The main function of this fence is to enclose this area for the safety of the owners' two young children, as the house sits primarily on Eddy Street, and the majority of the side yard is open to that street. There are two 4' gates of the same fence panel proposed, one in the rear of the house and one in the front off the driveway. In May 2015 the Commission approved a 4' wrought iron fence to be added to the west front lawn that extends back on the north lawn. From photographs recently taken by our preservation specialist, it appears that fence was not installed. PRESERVATION SPECIALIST REPORT: n/a STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES: EAST WAYNE STREET I.
