Request
A Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the existing (possibly unauthorized) fence to match the existing.
Applicant Alexander Hinckley
Application Filed 6/16/2026
Staff Recommendation
That the Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the existing fence be approved with the condition that the fence is not located directly in front of the corner side façade of the main block of the house facing North Beacon St. [allowing for the rear ell on the east (rear) side of the house to be within the fenced area], which will not have an adverse effect on the district. Implementation of this condition will ensure the proposed work is consistent with the spirit of the preservation criteria, Sec. 51P-63.116(2)(B)(iv)(cc); meet City Code Section 4.501(g)(6)(C)(i) for contributing properties, and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Task Force Recommendation
That the Certificate of Appropriateness to replace the existing fence be denied without prejudice, as the ordinance does not permit a fence directly in front of the corner façade.
