FENCES,
SITE WALLS, AND TREES
Because original
and later historic fences and site walls are significant architectural
features, repair
or replace
whenever possible with new materials that duplicate the original or later
historic features.
Preserve
cast and wrought iron fences for their high historic significance and rarity.
Do not
place new fences and site walls to prevent or restrict views of buildings from
a public way.
Privacy
fences at the side and back of the property are allowed.
Make the
design of fences appropriate in scale, materials, and architectural style to
the building, its
site and the
surrounding properties.
Recommendation:
Although
the Commission does not regulate landscaping, it encourages the preservation of
the existing
natural contours and
topography of the landscape. Keep mature trees that contribute to the overall
character of the
district.
