Certificate of Appropriateness for Steve Soltas, 26723 Butternut Ridge Road <br />Mrs. Lord called Mr. Steve Soltas forward to explain his request. Mr. Soltas indicated he would like <br />to fence in the back part of his yard. The board members reviewed his plans. Mr. Soltas introduced <br />his contractor, Matt McMillan, of Affordable Fence. Mrs. Lord asked if the entire perimeter would <br />be green as indicated. Mr. Soltas said that was correct and the fence will be 4 ft. high. Mr. Barker <br />asked the applicant about the 25-foot side indicated on his diagram. He asked if there is another 4- <br />foot gate or if it is a 25-foot gate. N1r. Soltas replied it is a 4-foot gate. Mrs. Lord inquired about <br />markings on the diagram and wondered if it is an existing fence. Mr. Soltas indicated it is a fence <br />belonging to the neighbors. Mrs. VanAuken asked what the pressing need is for the fence. 1VIr. <br />Soltas said the fence they currently have is pretty old and has holes at the bottom. He added they <br />would like a new fence for appearances and would extend it all the way down. He mentioned the <br />green coloring would help it blend in with the yard. Mr. Barker asked if the applicant has any plans <br />to do landscaping in front of the fence facing Butternut Ridge. Mr. Soltas indicated he does not have <br />plans for landscaping. Mr. Barker suggested that he put a few bushes on either side on the 25-foot <br />portion, and something on the 4-foot side to help disguise the fence a bit. Mr. Soltas said the 4-foot <br />side, on the left-hand side of the house, will have a swing gate so they really can't put anything there. <br />Mr. Barker asked if the gate will be in the center on the 25 ft. side and he asked if they could put <br />some type of shrubbery in that area. Mr. 5oltas indicated he could do something there. Mrs. Lord <br />pointed out the board does not want to get in the way of people doing things they need to do but they <br />would like to continue to maintain the integrity of the street as best they can. <br />P. Barker made a motion to approve the fence for Steve Soltas, 26723 Butternut Ridge Road, as <br />indicated with the addition of shrubbery on the east side of the property (street side), chain link and <br />poles to be of green vinyl. The motion was seconded by K. O'Rourke and unanimously approved. <br />1Vlotion Carried.
