Historic Preservation Board Regular Meeting · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

This item concerns a request for a variance to modify previously approved plans for a pool fence at 151 Stirling Avenue. The property is in the Virginia Heights East Historic District and is zoned R-1AA. The applicants, Dennis and Kellie Welsh, wish to place a six-foot-high fence along the property line, which requires a variance from the standard ten-foot setback. The proposed fence will use cedar materials and include a landscape buffer. This project is currently under review by the Historic Preservation Board, with staff recommending approval. The work would involve site preparation for fence installation, including potential minor grading, and the installation of the fence itself, along with landscaping. Contractors specializing in fencing, site preparation, and landscaping could find opportunities here, especially by engaging early before final plans and permits are issued.
