Planner II, Breah Miller provided a brief overview of the request for an addition of a  
hitching post to the front yard.  
Erin Schlichter, 1027 SE 5th Street, Ocala, FL, said that when she installed the gate for  
the fence a solar panel was needed to open and close the gate and she thought the  
hitching post looked better because it matches the fencing and the solar panel can not be  
placed near the gate.  
Mr. McCullough said he did not see an issue with the hitching post.

influx of code cases. She also mentioned that the Certified Local Government Program (CLG)  
sent an email about the best practices for the Historic Board and shared the information to the  
Board.
