Local preservation panel approves two residential fence permits
Summary
The board approved two separate boundary and backyard fence permits: a 6‑foot steel fence to contain large dogs at Sylvia Johnson’s property and a replacement boundary fence for Joshua Latus, both found consistent with zoning setbacks and visibility requirements.
The preservation board approved two fence requests brought before the panel at its meeting. Sylvia Johnson said she and her husband, Ron Smith, want to install a 6‑foot‑tall steel fence behind their home “to contain our dogs,” noting the gate will sit behind the driveway and the fence will not be highly visible from the street. Staff confirmed the setbacks comply with zoning and a board member moved to approve the application as submitted. The motion carried.
Separately, applicant Joshua Latus asked to replace a deteriorating boundary fence with the same scope that had been approved the previous year for one side; he said the new submission restores an additional section that was not covered in last year’s approval. Staff confirmed zoning compliance and the board voted to approve his application as submitted.
Both approvals were described by staff as straightforward zoning conformance; board members emphasized that the fence locations are largely out of public view and that materials and setbacks met requirements. No conditions beyond standard permit issuance were recorded.
