The Historic District Commission approved conditions for the entry wall and gate at 42 Chuck Hollow, directing the owner to reduce gate posts, remove end columns and lattice, and maintain vegetation to screen the wall from public view.

Owner Daryl presented materials and said he would shorten the stone columns and that any lattice shown on the drawing was not part of the intended installation. Commissioners questioned exact heights and finishes; one commissioner asked that the central gate posts not exceed 4 feet (48 inches) but the motion the board passed set a 60‑inch (5‑foot) maximum inclusive of caps. Commissioner Abby moved that the posts flanking the main gate be no taller than 60 inches, that the gate be reduced to match, that the four outermost columns be removed, and that no lattice be installed above the wall.

A seconder added a condition that screening vegetation be maintained to keep the wall not visible from public ways; the third added that the commission’s motion be memorialized by marking the submitted drawings (exhibit A) and removing the disallowed elements. The board recorded a 4–1 vote in favor of the motion: Abby, Angus, Connie and Carrie voted aye; the chair recorded a no vote.

The final motion requires the owner to submit an as‑built or marked exhibit showing the reduced posts and removed end columns; staff will inspect for compliance. The minutes show the commission debated the extent of visibility and that a neighbor objected during public comment, asking the commission to remove the wall entirely; the commission indicated those neighbor issues are outside its authority when enforcement or criminal matters arise.
