Event Preview
The Historic Resources Commission will meet on August 12th to discuss several items impacting Asheville’s historic districts, including potential changes to fence regulations within the Montford neighborhood. A significant portion of the meeting will be dedicated to a public hearing regarding a proposal for a new fence at 29 Elizabeth Street, which residents may want to attend or view online. The Commission will also formally welcome new members and approve meeting minutes from July.
Key decisions expected include approval or denial of the fence proposal at 29 Elizabeth Street, and potentially a vote on amendments to the Montford design standards related to fences. Interested community members can provide comments during the public hearing portion of the meeting, and staff will present detailed information on the Elizabeth Street project.
Following the August 12th meeting, the Commission will hold a make-up education event on August 14th and their next regularly scheduled meeting is September 9th. Details about the fence standard amendments being considered are not yet fully available, but residents interested in preserving Asheville’s historic character should pay attention to this discussion.
