Sycamore Lane SE, HPA 20-346, concept/subdivision and construction of
townhouses.
The
Board expressed support for the general concept and the recommendations in the
HPO report, but did not take a vote as the project had not been considered by
the ANC. The project should be revised to respond to the HPO report, be
presented to the ANC, and return to the Board for further review when
ready. The Board requested that the applicant consider the scale of the
houses as they face those in Congress Heights. The Board also requested
more information on sustainable features. Aurbach recused.

BOTTOM HISTORIC DISTRICT
0
Snow’s Court NW, HPA 20-312, concept/construction of single-family house.

painted; the fenestration be adjusted as suggested in the HPO report; the
shutters be eliminated; the color of the metal panels be reconsidered; and that
any code issues be addressed. Further review and clearance were delegated
to staff. Vote: 5-0.

Florida Avenue NW, HPA 20-317, concept/addition to multi-unit building.

delegated to staff. Vote: 5-0.

The
Board found the concept design for a three-story rear addition to be compatible
in height and massing with the character of the house and historic district,
but that the scale and complexity of roof components must be simplified for the
project to achieve compatibility. The project should return to the Board for
further review. Vote 4-0 (Greene abstained).
