SUBJECT: Request for a certificate of appropriateness to allow a chain link
fence

STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval of the chain link fence
along the east side of the house and a wood fence along the west side
of the house. The property is located at 2295 Angelina.
Ronald Kelley, the property owner, is requesting a certificate of
appropriateness to allow the construction of a 6' tall black vinyl coated
chain link fence on the east and west sides of the house. In addition,
a 4' tall picket fence will be installed within the front yard of the
property.
(See Diagram)
Mr. Kelly states that both types of fencing are being installed for
security purposes. He recently had a $2,200 trailer stolen and his
truck was vandalized. Mr. Kelley has also had trespassers sitting on
his front porch early in the morning.
The Historic District Regulations state that a fence constructed in a
front or corner side yard must be constructed of wrought iron, wood
or brick. While the ordinance states that chain link, barbed and
razor wire fences are permitted in only back yards and must not be
seen from the street, the Planning Manager thinks that a black vinyl
chain link fence along the east side of the property will be less
obtrusive than a 6' tall wood screening fence.
Exhibit is attached.
