In a routine meeting held last Thursday at the Courthouse, Washington’s Architectural Review Board approved all four applications before it.

Dean and Linda Morehouse applied for a Certificate of Appropriateness for a privacy fence to screen a patio they are constructing on the north side of their house on Main Street.

The fence will be a “board on board” construction, not to exceed the height of the present rabbit wire fence along the driveway. It will be stained the color of their house.

Later, Mrs. Morehouse said she would like to add a rabbit wire border fence with a wood cap, “on which I hope to grow climbing roses.”

The Morehouses were also granted a permit to change the color of the front door of their house from dark brown to Rookwood Blue-Green, an approved color.

John and Nina Norman requested a permit to erect a storage shed on their property on Gay Street. The 8 by 12-foot wood sided, pine-trimmed shed will be painted Old Town Gray to match the trim on their house.

Mr. Norman added that a site plan has been filed with Zoning Administrator John McCarthy.

Evelyn Willis noted that, since the Normans had erected the shed before obtaining the permit from the ARB, they took a chance. “When you put up signs or sheds in advance, you run a gamble if it is not approved. I just want that on the record.”

“I understand,” Mr. Norman replied.

Robert and Susan Parrish applied for a permit to paint their house on Blue Ridge Avenue. After submitting approved paint «, chips, Mrs. Parrish told the ARB ,
