Historic District Commission approves "no‑dig" backyard fence at 159 Main Street
Summary
Commission issued a certificate of approval for a four‑foot, no‑dig backyard fence with gate at 159 Main Street; applicant will receive the certificate by mail and the Code Enforcement officer will be sent a copy.
The Kingston Historic District Commission on April 8 approved an application from homeowners Steve Noteworthy and Amy Behr to install a no‑dig backyard fence at 159 Main Street.
Amy Behr described the proposal as a "no dig fence" that would run from the back corners of the house to an existing chain‑link fence and would form a rectangular backyard enclosure with a gate. Behr said the fence is four feet tall and is intended to clarify property lines and provide privacy.
Susan Prescott, chair of the Historic District Commission, moved to approve the application "as per written." The motion was seconded by Madeline Willette and carried; Laurie Sweatt recorded an abstention. The commission will issue a certificate of approval and mail it to 159 Main Street; the Code Enforcement officer will also receive a copy for permit/inspection records.
Prescott reminded the applicants that a change in fence design after approval would require them to return to the commission for a new certificate of approval.
The applicant thanked the commission and was welcomed to the historic district.
