Historic Preservation Review Board
Meeting
October 22, 2020
The Historic Preservation Review Board
convened a public meeting on October 22 via WebEx. Present for the meeting
were: Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Thomas Brokaw, Linda Greene,
Outerbridge Horsey, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Gretchen Pfaehler.
AGENDA
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION
Overview of recently completed projects.
DUPONT CIRCLE HISTORIC DISTRICT
1625 P Street NW (Stead Park), HPA
20-468, concept/ renovate carriage house; addition to carriage house; alterations
to south end of park.
The Board supported the design
direction, made recommendations for refinements, and directed the applicants
to return to the Board for further review. Vote: 6-0 (Horsey recused)
MOUNT PLEASANT HISTORIC DISTRICT
1745 Park Road NW, HPA 20-516,
permit/roll-up garage door.
The Board recommended clearance of the
permit application for a roll-up vehicle gate as sufficiently retentive of
the character of the property and compatible with the character of the
historic district generally, with the condition that the gate itself be
prefinished in a color (preferably earth-tone) rather than leaving it bare
metal. The Board acknowledged the ANC resolution of support for the
project. The ANC had requested that the Board “affirm that the informal
design review principles discussed by HPO in its staff report have no
official status relevant to future cases,” but the list of principles was
proposed not as “official” or final or relating only to Mount Pleasant, but
as reflecting the staff’s present evaluations of the compatibility of such
gates under its delegated authority, and as a starting point for eventual
design guidelines that, after more testing, the Board may adopt as
authoritative and applicable to all historic districts, not just Mount
Pleasant, an idea that the Board endorsed. Vote: 7-0.
2051 Park Road, NW, HPA 20-419,
permit/roll-up garage gate.
The Board recommended in favor of
clearance of the permit application for a roll-up vehicle gate at this
property as sufficiently retentive of the character of the property and
compatible with the character of the historic district generally, with the
conditions that the gate be painted, and the pediment or fascia be faced with
an appropriate material. The Board delegated further review to staff,
with the understanding that some revisions are under way in coordination with
the Commission of Fine Arts review. Vote: 7-0.
- ELIZABETHS
HOSPITAL PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
1200 Alabama Avenue SE, HPA 20-316,
revised concept/design development of six-story office building.
The Board approved the design
development and delegated further review to staff, with the condition that
the applicant provide an opportunity to view samples of the exterior metal
panels on site. Vote: 6-0 (Aurbach recused).
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
514 Archibald Walk SE, HPA 20-478,
concept/add second story to one-story garage.
The Board found the concept plans to be
compatible and delegated final approval to staff, with the conditions that
the applicant move forward with the juliette balcony option and that the
maximum building height does not exceed 20 feet. Vote:7-0.
BLOOMINGDALE HISTORIC DISTRICT
2422 North Capitol Street NW, HPA
20-461, permit, add third story to existing house.
The Board members expressed their
individual views that the proposed third-story addition to 2422 North Capitol
Street NW was not compatible because it was prominently visible from public
street view, but did not take a vote and encouraged the applicant to work
with staff on an alternative proposal in which any third story addition would
not be visible.
CLEVELAND PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
3616 Ordway Street NW, HPA 20-517,
replace existing rear addition with two-story addition; convert garage into
living space; add egress window wells.
The Board recommended that the second

to the Board for further review. Vote: 6-0 (Greene absent).
