1293 Everett Ave submitted for COA to install front landscape retaining wall

Applicant Iman Ghali is seeking a Certificate of Appropriateness for a front brick retaining wall at 1293 Everett Ave in the Cherokee Triangle, a low-profile addition meant to keep mulch and soil from washing into the street and to spruce up the front yard. The wall, designed to match the home's original brick border and finish at about 11 inches (it's currently about 8 inches and needs one more layer), has a project cost estimated at $1,500, and Ghali paused construction after a neighbor pointed out the approval was required so the proper process can be followed.
