 B. PUBLIC HEARING:  APPEAL OF A DECISION OF THE HISTORIC
     PRESERVATION COMMISSION TO DENY A CERTIFICATE OF
     APPROPRIATENESS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OF A FENCE AT 1029
     NORTH MARENGO AVENUE IN THE GARFIELD HEIGHTS LANDMARK
     DISTRICT
     Recommendation of City Manager:
     (1) Acknowledge that the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for
      a new front yard fence in a landmark district is categorically exempt from
     environmental review pursuant to the guidelines of the California Environmental
     Quality Act, (Section 15308: Class 8, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for
     Protection of the Environment).
     (2) Find that the design of the proposed fence-if modified-complies with
     the Secretary of the Interior's Standards the Design Guidelines for  Historic
     Districts and the Garfield Heights Conservation Plan; and
     (3) Approve the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness with the
     following conditions:
       (a) The second pier on the south side of the front yard shall be
       removed (to create more transparency), and the spacing of the piers on the
       south side of the front yard shall be consistent with the spacing along the
       front of the lot. [source: maintain a "transparent character, allowing views into
       the yard and providing interest to pedestrians" Design Guidelines for Historic
       Districts, p. 80]
       (b) The applicant shall continue to work with the staff on an
       appropriate design for the tubular-steel pickets, and final details of the pickets
       (finish, dimensions, welded joints, spacing) shall be submitted to the staff for
       final review and approval.
       (c) The applicant is encouraged to soften the visual impact of the
       fence by planting shrubs or other suitable plant material along the base of the
       fence in the front yard.
       Recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission:  On June 7,
       2004, at a public hearing, the Historic Preservation Commission considered
       the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for new construction of the
       front yard fence. The Commission denied the application based on a finding
       that the design of the fence was inconsistent with the adopted guidelines for
       front yard fences in landmark districts.  Members of the Commission
       encouraged the applicants to work with the staff on a redesign of the fence
       and to submit a new application.
