HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this was heard last month and the applicant came back with a revised fence, which is a little smaller. The fence would be 30"-32" in height, with a gate, but no longer with a gate in front. The pillars would be 36" in height. The applicant removed the request for a railing on the second floor balcony. Staff recommends approval. | Pass | 5:0 |

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this is a prominent lot and the owner wants to enclose the front and side yards with a metal fence and concrete pillars. There would also be two metal sliding gates across the driveway, which would match the fence design. They are also proposing adding a railing across the second floor porch roof. The staff report details the few existing fences and the applicant does have a fairly large enclosed back yard. Staff recommends denial of the fence and also of the porch railing.
Ald. Bauman could support a 3 foot fence to serve more as a boundary than a barrier.
Gloria Galang - owner - she is surrounded by apartments and just a lot of folks hanging around and it doesn't feel so safe on that side. She also has low first-floor windows. The fence would make them feel safer. There were originally no doors to that porch. Staff would recommend 32" tempered glass to make it safe.
Held so the owner can work with staff on the possibility of glass on the porch and a lower railing. | Pass | 5:0 |
