Executive Summary
The subject property is located at 821 North Pine Street approximately 163 feet south of Hays Street. The applicant has begun the restoration of a historically significant home located in the Dignowity Hill Historic District and wishes to continue construction of a 4'2" predominately open front fence. The applicant and owner have taken this request to the Historic Design and Review Commission (HDRC) for a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Design and Review Commission granted approval contingent on the Board of Adjustment's approval. The applicant has begun construction a five foot and two inch tall fence and has plans for a five foot and eight inch gate in the front yard of the property. The applicant is constructing the fence to ensure adequate protection of his home and property. Staff found several other homes within the community with similar front yard fences. However, a gate height, at five feet eight inches, is not common within the neighborhood and is not in keeping with the character of the community.
