Trustees deny hardscape permit for brick pillars in public setback at 415 Nuttall Road
Summary
Following recommendations from the Landscape Advisory Commission and Preservation Commission and with the petitioner absent, the board rejected a hardscape permit to install brick pillars in the public right-of-way.
The Board of Trustees on July 17 denied a hardscape-permit application to install paired brick pillars within the five-foot public setback at 415 Nuttall Road.
Director Tapp presented the application and noted the property’s public setback of approximately five feet; both the Landscape Advisory Commission and the Preservation Commission recommended denial. The proposed pillars would be 1 foot 8 inches square and flank a brick walkway. The applicant was not present at the meeting to present additional argument.
Trustees cited consistency and precedent concerns, noting prior enforcement removing structures in public rights-of-way and the absence of characteristics that would distinguish this property from others. A motion to reject the permit request was made and seconded; the roll call vote approved the denial and the permit application was not granted.
