The streetscape includes what happens between the building and <br /> the street such as yards and fences, is also an important element that helps maintain the <br /> character of the neighborhood. <br /> Steve Ingalsbe, Planning staff, showed some pictures of what types of fences would and would <br /> not be allowed under the new regulations. Mr. Giffen stated that the good examples <br /> represented a more open relationship between the neighborhood and dwelling. At the previous <br /> commission meeting, there was some discussion regarding screening yards in disrepair; <br /> however, the intent of the regulations would discourage screening and encourage a more open <br /> streetscape between the street and dwelling. Mr. Ingalsbe presented some graphics (interior, <br /> corner, and multiple family lots) of what would be allowed under the new regulations. <br /> 6:45:00 PM <br /> 19 <br />
