At its Oct. 17 meeting the Technical and Compliance Advisory Board took the following formal actions (unanimous votes unless otherwise noted):

- Approval of minutes: The board approved the minutes of the Sept. 19 meeting by roll call.

- Consent agenda: Certificate of appropriateness for 814 Mason Street was approved administratively; staff will issue the certificate and notify the applicant within 10 days.

- Case 20‑25‑255 / 332 Florida St. (fence): The board initially deferred consideration when the applicant was not present. Later in the meeting the applicant’s representative, Nathan Manford, requested a 5‑foot wrought‑iron fence at the front to contain dogs. Staff and commissioners clarified that front yard fences are generally limited to 4 feet under board guidelines; an existing 5‑foot chain‑link section on the side may be administratively replaced at 5 feet. The board adopted staff recommendations with instructions to work with staff on next steps (administrative approval of preexisting 5‑ft section; front yard limit remains 4 ft).

- Case 20‑25‑270 / 1008 N. Mezquit (siding): The board approved staff recommendations to allow fiber‑cement (cement board) for replacement where original wood is rotten, provided the visible face be the smooth profile recommended by staff; the applicant must coordinate final details with historic‑preservation staff.

- Case 20‑25‑266 / 455 Donaldson Ave. (painting masonry): The board supported staff and neighborhood association recommendations and denied the request to paint masonry and to install the proposed decorative shutters. Staff confirmed a stop‑work order issued after a 311 complaint remains in effect and will coordinate remediation options with the owners.

- Case 20‑25‑277 / Byron Ave. (5‑foot livestock‑panel style fence): The board accepted staff recommendations and denied approval for a 5‑foot livestock‑panel wood fence in the front, consistent with front‑yard height limits; staff to work with applicant on permitted options.

Several motions included provisions that applicants must consult with Office of Historic Preservation staff and that certificates of appropriateness or administrative approvals will follow staff review. The board repeatedly reminded applicants that a certificate and any necessary city permits must be obtained before work begins.
