Mrs. Van Dorn erected a split rail fence on the front of her property. Unfortunately, she did so without a building permit and without a COA. She has built the fence in the City right of way. On December 28 , 1989 she received a code violation notice and was instructed to remove the fence by January 8 , 1990 . She has since applied for a building permit and COA. I have spoken to Gates Castle about the right of way and he has sent an inspector out to see it. I have not yet heard from him but I believe Engineering will relax the right of way requirements because the fence is not a traffic hazard. Sandy Jammison will probably speak for Mrs. Van Dorn as she has appointed him her agent. 3 . St Paul ' s will come before you for approval of the parking lot gates on S.W. 1st Avenue. Mr. Mouw will bring sketches of the gates to the meeting. He has some concern that his Board will not approve an alternative to chain link because of the additional cost involved. The HPB should consider the fact that the gates will be closed most of the time and therefore will present a 24 foot expanse of chain link to the streetscape, which will not be screened by a hedge. It is recommended that a more appropriate gate be used. 4 . Cason Cottage will replace the existing sign on N.E. 1st St and the alley with the attached sign. The sign is not lighted and is free standing. It will encroach on the setback but this has been resolved by a "Removal Agreement" in the event that the street is widened. 5 . Old School Square will present a landscape plan. 6 . This is a discussion item. 7 . When the HPB discussed this at an earlier meeting Stan Weedon suggested that the Board may wish to eliminate some of the categories in Section 4 . Please present your comments and suggestions at the meeting. 1 r, 8. We have a $1 ,500 for travel and training in our budget. Should Member' s This Old Town Conference fees be paid from the budget?
