| Answer |
|
Answer: Regarding what determines visibility from a public way, the Commission’s policy is as follows:
- a) A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for only those parts of a structure that are visible from a public way.
- b) If any portion of a structure is visible at any time of year (e.g., during the winter when trees have lost their leaves), a Certificate of Appropriateness is necessary for any changes to be made.
- c) Certificates of Appropriateness for structures that are hidden from a public way by easily removed or altered plants (e.g., shrubs) are considered on a case-by-case basis.
