STAFF REPORT • CONCERNING APPLICATION FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS Date: April 10, 2018 Application Number: 2018-0315 Property Location: 1352 Lincoln Way East Architectural Style/Date/Architect or Builder: Queen Anne / Free Classic / 1910 / La Pierre House Property Owner: Tammie Winn (Williams) Landmark or District Designation: Lincoln Way East Local Historic District, Ordinance #7343-84 Rating: Contributing DESCRIPTION OF STRUCTURE/ SITE: This two-story irregular plan Queen Anne/Free Classic sits on a rough-hewn concrete block foundation. The walls are vinyl -siding with a projection of the second story over the first. A molded belt course is under the projection. The roof is hipped, pedimented with a side gable, closed soffit, and molded cornice boards. A central brick stonecap chimney is accompanied by an exterior limestone ceramic flue. The front porch has a concrete block base and pier supports, square wood posts, wood lintel, and a wood balustrade. Two large picture windows with glass transoms are on either side of the front entry door. The remaining windows are 1/1 double -hung with projecting molded entabulature. A hipped garage with 1/1 double hung windows and a boxed eave stands to the south east of the main structure. ALTERATIONS: In April of 1989, a stop -work order was issued by the Building Department because of the installation of vinyl siding over three quarters of the house without permit and without C of A. COA #1989-0403 allowed for the removal of the vinyl siding from the structure. COA #1989-1006 allowed for the installation of vinyl siding on the outside of the house. COA #1992-0724 allowed for re -roofing of the flat portions of the roof, • the installation of exterior signage for business purposes, the replacement of exterior lighting, the installation of an exterior stairway at the rear of the property, the installation of an A/C unit and concealment trellis, and the installation of a fence from the back setback of the lot to the corner of the lot. COA #2011-0509 allowed for a complete tear -off and reroof. APPLICATION ITEMS: "We already installed a fence. Didn't know we needed permits or COA. We need this fence for our dogs since we work 12 hour shifts. A lot of the homes have the same fencing materials." DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED PROJECT: Applicant seeks retroactive approval for the installation of 192' of fencing (44' of 6' tall wood privacy fence and 148' of 4' galvanized chain link fence), including a 20' roll gate that crosses the driveway. Installation work was executed by Great Lakes Fencing. The subject property faces Lincoln Way East but abuts Ottawa Court, a narrow road that has additional Historic District properties along it. Existing examples of chain link fencing are found elsewhere within the Lincoln Way East Historic District but may predate the establishment of the district. For example, both 1334 and 1342 Lincoln Way East have chain link fence at the rear of their properties (as indicated by the applicant's attached photograph), but no COA for either installation is retained by the HPC Staff. The property to the south (1522 Ottawa Court) also has chain link fencing, but it is in poor condition and probably predates the district. Various wood fences are also found within the district.
