FROM: Adina Ward, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: A request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow a six (6) foot tall cyclone
fence with lattice and to add lattice to an existing cyclone fence
FILE: CA-2970
STAFF REPORT
T.W. Moak would like to add a cyclone fence with lattice t his property located at 2290 North
Street. In addition, Mr. Moak would like to keep lattice he recently added to an existing cyclone
fence on the same property. The new fence would be six (6) feet tall. Mr. Moak states that a
number of individuals cut through the property so the fence is needed.
Staff recommends denial of portions of the fence adjacent to the street right-of-way. A wood
privacy fence would accomplish the same goal. Replacing the existing cyclone fence with a
wood privacy fence would provide the privacy Mr. Moak is attempting to establish.
The property is in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the apartments were
built c. 1930. The property was listed as a fine example of middle class multi-family housing
built in Beaumont after the second Spindletop boom.
