As you can see, it needs to be rehabbed for the beautification on the property. Historical Commission Item #1 - Estate Wall Replace poor quality wood fence (that is deteriorating in some places) with an estate wall, similar to other estate walls in our historic neighborhood (as shown below). Materials would include stucco over cinder block, limestone top, and possibly white brick columns as depicted below.

We will not oppose because Paradisa Homes heard the concerns we expressed about its original plans and as a result, designed a totally new house that is far more appropriate for Clarksville. I will send the email this week. Mary MR•PR Austin, TX 78703 512 657 5289 Be Kind "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear."
