2. Certificate of Appropriateness Review
A. C.O.A. 22-05 — 132 Fremont Street — Norris-Segert Funeral Home — Fence Replacement
Mr. Sterrett stated that Ronald Segert of Norris-Segert Funeral Home and Cremation Services,
owner of 132 Fremont Street in the Turner-Junction Historic District, is seeking approval of a
Certificate of Appropriateness to replace an existing 6-foot tall shadowbox fence. The existing
fence is located along the side property line south of the funeral home building, approximately
107 feet in length. This fence has begun to fall into disrepair. The petitioner is proposing to
remove this existing fence and install a new 6-foot tall fence in the same location. The new fence
will also be a shadowbox fence and will have a western red cedar color. The proposed fence
complies with the City’s Zoning Code.
The building is an Eclectic architectural style. According to the property survey for the Turner
Junction Historic District, the building was constructed in 1946. At the time of the survey from
1991, the building was less than 50 years old and identified as non-contributing and not a
candidate for local landmark status. Given its current age of 76 years, the building could be
considered for local landmark status.
