Summary

After hearing from Casey Toby of Optimum, the commission approved a request to allow a chain-link/hurricane-type privacy fence between the retail property at 321 Texas Street and an adjacent warehouse so the retail parcel can be sold with separation for a new tenant.

The Natchitoches Historic District Commission approved Optimum's request to install a privacy/hurricane-type chain-link fence between 321 Texas Street's retail parcel and the adjacent warehouse so the retail site can be sold with a distinct separation. Casey Toby, who identified themself as Optimum's operations director for the field, told the commission, "we are attempting to sell the old retail location at 321 Texas Street," and described the company's preference for a hurricane-type fence to match an existing chain-link barrier on the neighboring parcel.

Commissioners asked whether the proposed fence would front Texas Street (it does not) and raised practical questions about mounting a new fence on a concrete parking slab. The chair recorded a motion "to approve the application as is to allow for the chain link fence since there's already existing chain link that you'll be hooking onto." The commission voted in favor and approved the application; the motion on the record named the mover and seconder as stated during the meeting.
