The sur- face cleaning of structures, if appro- priate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archaeological re- sources affected by a protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. Fences and walls There is great variety in the fenc- es and walls in the districts. While most rear yards and many side yards have some combination of fencing, walls, or landscaped screen- ing, the use of such features in front yards varies. The dominant condition on some streets is for front yards to be partially enclosed with fences or walls, while other streets have spacious open lawns leading to the street or sidewalk edge. The vast majority of fences and walls are constructed in such a way that they are semitransparent and one is able to see partially through them. Some are very low while others are of medium height. Materials generally related to ma- terials used on the structures on the site and may include brick, wrought iron, or wood pickets. Here are some suggestions: 1. Retain traditional fences, walls, and hedges. Match old fencing in material, height, and detail. If this is not possi- ble, use a simplified design of similar materials and height. 2. Respect the existing condi- tion of the majority of existing lots of streets in a sub-area when planning new construction or a rehabilitation of an existing site: If the majority of buildings on the street have a fence or wall, incorporate one into the new site improvements. If the majority of buildings on the street have an open yard leading to the street, do not add a fence or wall to the front of the lot. 3. The design of new fences and walls should blend with materials and designs found in the district. Commonly used materials are brick, stucco, iron, wood, and shrub- bery hedges. Often the materials relate to the materials used elsewhere on the prop- erty and on the structures. 4. The scale and level or ornate- ness of the design of any new walls and fences should relate to the scale and ornateness of the existing house. Simple and smaller designs are most appropriate on small lots. 5. The height of the fence or wall should not exceed the average height of other fences and walls of surround- ing properties.
