Summary

An in-person applicant asked to amend the COA for 228 Allen Street to change a boundary fence to horizontal slats and adjust door/window details. Staff said a completed application is required before a final COA; commissioners moved to advance the item contingent on paperwork and waived the public hearing.

An applicant attended in person to request minor amendments to the certificate of appropriateness for 228 Allen Street, proposing a change from cross-hatching to horizontal slats for the boundary fence and clarifying that a previously proposed easterly-facing window would not be installed.

The applicant (identified in the transcript as the presenter) told commissioners they had copies of the proposed door designs and described demolition and site milestones associated with other accessory structures on the property. "We wanted to make a minor adjustment to the fence appearance," the presenter said, describing the change in fence slat orientation.

Staff emphasized process requirements: "We do need an application before the CFA is voted on," a staff member said, noting the file must include door and window specifications and a new application for the fence change. Commissioners agreed to advance the COA vote in two weeks contingent on the applicant working with Officer DePass to submit the required paperwork; they also waived the public hearing. The commission requested a drawing of the proposed gate for the record.
