product was similar to others that had been before the Commission, such as the
fence for Hope Cemetery.
Chairperson Miener shared concerns that the proposed product did not look
authentic to the architecture of the structure. Member Martin stated that starting
the fence at the front face of the structure and adding landscaping could make the
Commission more amenable to approval.
The applicant proposed tabling this application to allow him to bring in a sample of
the product and modify the proposed layout of the fence.
Member Klohn moved to table the Certificate of Appropriateness, seconded by
Member Woolsey.
