Request
A Certificate of Appropriateness to install a new three-and-a-half (3.5) foot white wood picket fence in front yard.
Applicant Charles Lee McPherson
Application Filed 3/27/2026
Staff Recommendation
That the request to install a new three and a half (3.5) foot white wood picket fence in the front yard be approved with the conditions that the top of the fence be horizontal/parallel to grade and at least 50% open. Implementation of the recommended conditions would allow the proposed work to be consistent with preservation criteria Section 2.10 and Addendum B; meet the standards in City Code Section 51-4.501(g)(6)(C)(i) for contributing structures; and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.
Task Force Recommendation
That the request to install a new three-and-a-half-foot (3.5) white wood picket fence in the front yard be approved with the conditions that there is no scalloping of the pickets, as the ordinance requires a flat horizontal surface, and that the fence is 70% open as required by the ordinance.
