STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial.
Martiniana Rico has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to
allow the construction of a 5' tall chain link fence in the front yard of
her house at 2548 Rusk. Ms. Rico states that she has small children
and dogs. The fence will keep both the children and dogs from
getting in the street.
The Zoning Ordinance states that a fence in the front or corner side
yard must be constructed of wrought iron, wood or brick. The
Ordinance states that a fence not in compliance with the regulations
may be approved if the applicant establishes the fence is historically
sensitive or unless the absence of said fence poses a significant hazard
to life or property.
