sidewalk. Chairman Starrett told Mr. Sanchez that wood posts would need to be used with the cedar fence, because the SOI Standards require a material that is appropriate to the neighborhood, and the fence he is connecting to has wood posts. Mr. Sanchez said he was also okay with that. With regard to the metal portion of the fence, Mr. Sanchez presented photos of several kinds of fences. Chairman Starrett stated that in order for the commission to make a decision on this particular fence, they will need to see an exact representation as to what Mr. Sanchez is proposing, because the photos show so many types, and Mr. Sanchez wants the finial from one and perhaps the railing from the other. Chairman Starrett advised Mr. Sanchez that he would need to come back to the Commission on the wrought iron fence issue because they don't have a specific request on which they can act. The Chairman called for two motions on this item —in light of the Secretary of Interior Standards, one with regard to the proposed roof and the other with regard to the proposed wood fence —and then the Commission could act on whether or not to grant a certificate. Regarding the proposal for the roof, Chairman Starrett called the Commission's attention to the SOI Standards, which state "reasonable effort to adapt the property with minimal alteration to the building or structure, distinctive stylistic features of the property that characterize a building or structure in its neighborhood and the fact that the deteriorated feature should be replaced in kind with the new material reflecting the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities." On this proposed COA, the roof would not qualify as meeting the SOI Standards but the wood privacy fence would meet those standards. Chairman Starrett called for a motion to so state. Motion was made by Barbara Wilson, seconded by Jerry Raper. Motion carried 5 -0. The second motion with regard to this certificate would be the granting or the denial of a certificate of appropriateness based on the SOI Standards. The Commission could grant a conditional certificate for the wood privacy fence; however, in light of the previous vote, the commission would have to vote for a denial of the application for the galvanized roof material. Motion to grant conditional approval for the wood cedar privacy fence and deny the application for the metal roof was made by Jerry Raper, seconded by Barbara Wilson. Motion carried 5 -0. B. 574 Church Street - Kelly and Melissa Wickersham. Melissa Wickersham stated that they are still looking and finding so many things. She stated that, when the wooden pillars were removed, they
