Permit #: 24-19476-HDLC
Description: Retention of the installation of barbed wire topped chain link fencing at a vacant lot without a Certificate of Appropriateness.
HDLC Guidelines:
Section 10, Pages 4-6 of the Guidelines for Site Elements
Retention Items:
Chain-link fencing: At the discretion of the Commission
Staff Recommendations:
The installation of the chain-link fence was first cited as an HDLC violation on April 21, 2023 after an inspection of the property was done. Per the HDLC Guidelines, chain-link fencing and barbed wire are not permitted fencing types in historic districts. However, this is an empty lot in a rather industrial area and does not appear out of place within the context, Staff leaves the decision to the discretion of the Commission.
