Richardson Avenue- Mr. Robinson, the homeowner, presented his proposal for a privacy fence in the rear of his property. Mr. Robinson presented two options, both of which the board deemed acceptable. Ms. Zimmerman went over the visibility ordinance requirements that Mr. Robinson would have to adhere by to be compliant. Dr. Price made a motion to approve both options of fencing presented, citing that the owner could choose either and they would be acceptable. Ms. Huggins seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously. 2. 101 Briarwood Lane- Ms. Smith and Mr. Hinerman presented their proposal for a new single-family residence at 101 Briarwood which currently has a garage/frog structure, but no primary residence. The board members went over the different materials that Mr. Hinerman, the contractor, would be utilizing. The board members remarked that the design selections were appropriate, however the choice to finish the chimney in fiber cement was not appropriate. Dr. Price made a motion to approve the project as presented with the exception that brick be utilized for the construction of the chimney. Ms. Nettles seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously. 3. 215 Marion Avenue- Mr. Pinard presented his proposal for a new single-family residence at 215 Marion Avenue. He explained that this house had been proposed on the neighboring lot of 219 Marion Avenue, so the board had already seen the design, but the lot turned out to have site design issues so the same design was now being proposed at 215 Marion. The board members went over the orientation of the home and discussed visibility from the right of way. When asked about final color schemes, Mr. Pinard told the board he was not 100% sure what colors would be utilized, but they would most likely be white for the body of the home and black for the accent details. Dr. Price made a motion to approve the project with the condition that the final color selection will need to be approved by staff prior to the permit being issued. Ms. Huggins seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously. Miscellaneous: Ms. Zimmerman provided the board members with the updated sections of the Historic District Guidelines. Dr. Price made a motion to approve the changes. Ms. Nettles seconded the motion; the motion passed unanimously.
