required for semi-permanent structures such as gazebos, but not for play equipment such as swing sets, <br />sand -boxes, etc. <br />Required <br />Plants, trees, fencing, walkways, private yard lights, signs (house numbers) and benches which reflect the <br />properties' history and development shall be retained. <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 be appropriate to existing surrounding site <br />elements in scale, type and appearance. Accessory structures such as decks, gazebos, fountains, or small <br />outbuildings should be appropriate to surrounding site elements in scale, type and appearance. Plant <br />materials in close proximity to the buildings and which are causing deterioration to the building's historic <br />fabric should be removed and replaced by more suitable flora as approved by the Historic Preservation <br />Commission. <br />Prohibited <br />No changes may be made to the appearance of the site by removing trees, fencing, walkways, <br />outbuildings or other site elements before evaluating their importance to the property's history and <br />development. Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor <br />blacktopped. Front yard areas shall not be fenced, or fences shall not extend forward beyond the <br />setback line of the property. Telephone or utility poles with high intensity overhead lights should be <br />installed so that they cannot be seen from the thoroughfare. The installation of unsightly, large devices <br />such as television satellite dishes shall not be permitted in areas where they can be viewed from the public <br />thoroughfare. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As the new fence will be installed 8' back from the front fagade of the <br />house behind a tree and large bushes, and is only 4' high in the front, it will not detract from the <br />appearance of the property; therefore, Staff recommends approval. <br />Written by <br />Deb Parcell <br />Deputy Director <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />
