Board approves porch restoration, column profile and privacy fence at 414 Clay Street
Summary
Owners Alexia and Jaclyn Lennis were approved to restore the front porch at 414 Clay Street using round fluted (Tuscan) columns, painted composite tongue‑and‑groove flooring where original material was missing, and an eight‑foot privacy fence in the backyard for safety.
The board approved a multi‑point restoration and repair proposal for 414 Clay Street. Owners Alexia and Jaclyn Lennis submitted revised drawings for the porch, showing two column options; board members preferred the round fluted (Tuscan) profile over a solid square tapered column and recommended proportions (about 8–10 inches at the base), which the applicants agreed to refine.
The board accepted painted composite tongue‑and‑groove flooring for the porch because original material was absent, citing guidance that synthetic materials may be used if they match traditional dimensions and are painted. The board also approved a privacy fence in the rear yard (the applicants noted an existing ratted fence) and discussed gutter and detailing; the applicants had previously submitted color and material samples.
Board members asked the applicants to confirm proportions in final drawings, and the motion to approve the submission as presented carried by voice vote.
