<br /> map 56 lot 39BSusan BennettExecutive Director, Hancock-Clarke House, and R. Nicholas
<br />Cunningham Eagle Scout applicant presented a ten (10) page presentation for building a Fence/Gate. This gate will be
<br />placed at the rear of the parking lot between the Barn and stone wall. The Commission needs more details shown on the
<br />plans. For example, the fence measurements, materials proposed for the latches and hinges, and how close to the Barn the
<br />post is going to be. There was a suggestion that the gates may be too large to support themselves, and the applicant might
<br />want to think about attaching a moveable support post to the middle gate and reducing the size of the pedestrian gate. The
<br />
<br />applicants will return for the May 3, 2012 hearing.
