H-21-001 400 East College Street, Chris and Cindy Tilton – Requesting review of new privacy fence and driveway access gate for an existing single-family residence. This property is located on the south side of East College Street at the southeast corner of East College Street and North Maney Avenue. It contains approximately 0.12 acres and is developed with a single-family dwelling. The property is zoned RS-8 (Single-Family Residential District 8) and H-1 (Historic Zoning Overlay District). It is also located in the CCO (City Core Overlay) district. The applicant wishes to erect a 6’-tall wooden privacy fence along the east side lot line, the rear (south) lot line, and a small portion of the west lot line of the subject property. A driveway access gate is also being requested to be installed across the driveway behind the front elevation of the residence at the northeast corner of the house to provide for some additional security and privacy. A site plan to show the location of the fencing and gate is included in the agenda materials. The fence will be visible from the rights-of-way of East College Street and North Maney Avenue. A photographic example of the type of fencing and gate the applicant wishes to install is included in the application materials. There is currently no existing wood privacy fences on the adjacent properties. The design guidelines for the historic district state that “fences may be added to a lot if they are similar material to other fences and structures in the vicinity, and if they are constructed so as to not disrupt the visual harmony of the front area of the lots.” In addition, “the preferred type of fencing is formal wrought iron, wood, or brick.” The applicant’s representative will be in attendance at the meeting in order to answer any questions the Commission may have regarding the request. City of Murfreesboro Historic Zoning Commission Staff Comments Regular meeting: March 16, 2021 New Business: b.
