(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. 459k
