Board approves six-foot vinyl fence at 229 South Main Street

The Amherst Historical Downtown Design Review Board on Sept. 10 approved an application from Star builders, on behalf of M 2 W properties, to install a six-foot-high white vinyl fence with a four-foot-wide gate at 229 South Main Street. Chair introduced the applicant and the application before the board.

Applicant John Reyes said the existing fence "is not on our property, so we are proposing to put a new fence, in front of this as it stands now." Board members asked about height and placement; Reyes said estimates were for a 6-foot-high fence and that the existing fence appears to be about 5 feet. A committee member moved to accept the application as submitted; the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor. Staff directed the applicant to take the approved paperwork to Tammy when applying for a permit.
