Front yard areas shall not be transformed into parking lots nor paved nor blacktopped. Front yard <br />areas shall not be fenced and fences shall not extend forward beyond the setback line of the house. The installation <br />of unsightly devices such as television reception dishes and solar collectors shall not be permitted in areas where <br />they can be viewed from the public thoroughfare. <br />Not Recommended <br />Telephone or utility poles with high-intensity overhead lights should be installed so that they cannot be seen from <br />the thoroughfare. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As the extended concrete drive with relocated fence and gate will in no <br />way detract from the historic appearance of the home, Staff recommends approval of both elements of the <br />project. <br />Written by <br />Deb Parcell, Deputy Director <br />Approved by <br />Elicia Feasel, Executive Director <br />
