The subject property is located in the East Side Historic District and therefore requires a Certificate of Appropriateness. In accordance with the Historic Preservation article of the Zoning Code (Chapter 9, Article XV, Section 9-149(2)), a COA is required prior to the issuance of a permit for any minor or major work involving any new and other construction, alteration, repair, demolition, relocation or other material change that may affect the exterior architectural appearance of any structure or site within an historic district or of any designated landmark building or site. The subject property is located in the East Side Historic District. The Plainfield Historic Urbanized Core Survey from 2005 states that the subject house is a T-Plan building dating to circa 1880/1890. The Urban Survey identifies the subject property as contributing to the local historic district. ANALYSIS The applicant is seeking approval to construct a new fence along the north and east of the property, with the exception of the rear alley.
