HISTORIC DESIGNATION HEARING
Proposed Bloomingdale Historic District,
Case 17-17.
After close review of the application and
supporting materials, the Historic Preservation Review Board voted to designate
the Bloomingdale Historic District to be entered into the D.C. Inventory of
Historic Sites, and to forward the nomination, with technical revisions, to the
National Register of Historic Places. The Board addressed the concerns voiced
by the ANC in its vote to oppose the designation. In particular, the
Board recognized that the historic district designation process needs
improvement, but that in this case, the public outreach was implemented
effectively, efficiently and in conformance with current procedures. The
Board also found that historic district designation versus landmark
designations more fully tells the story of the neighborhood’s history and more
appropriately recognizes the quality architecture. Finally, the Board
found that despite the recent alterations to buildings in Bloomingdale, the
historic district is overwhelmingly intact and retains its integrity.
Vote: 8-0.
MOUNT PLEASANT HISTORIC DISTRICT
1900 Lamont Street NW, HPA 18-501,
permit/installation of CT cabinet.
The Board found the proposal to be
generally compatible, if the following conditions are observed: (1) the
retaining wall should be parged and the whole wall repaired, with a matching coping;
(2) the cabinet product information submitted should be uploaded to the
application in ProjectDox; (3) the cabinet should be a matte color to roughly
match that of the building’s base; (4) soil should not be mounded up against
the wall, but there should be plants to screen it; (5) the existing hole for
the conduit shall be properly patched; (6) the retaining wall should be raised
an additional “course” relative to what is drawn, and carried farther west, but
short of the bedroom windows of the basement unit; and (7) the existing pipe
rail around the areaway be removed, and any necessary railing there be
minimized. Vote: 8-0.
WALTER REED HISTORIC DISTRICT
6900 Georgia Avenue NW, HPA 18-512,
concept/new construction of 58 townhomes north of Aspen Street.
The Board approved the project in
concept, with it to be developed to address the comments and recommendations in
the staff report, with the exception that the sixteen-foot-wide houses may have
projecting bays. The Board also observed that the lofts are unresolved
and recommended that the quadruple-ganged windows not have a single jack
arch. Vote: 8-0.
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
121 Tennessee Avenue NE, HPA 18-430,
concept/two-story addition at rear.
The Chair has determined that the Board
had insufficient time to fully consider this case, and that it should be
rescheduled for the September meeting to allow the applicants to fully present
their case and for the Board to give proper great weight to the resolution of
the ANC.
August 2, 2018
Present: Marnique Heath (Chair), Andrew
Aurbach, Thomas Brokaw, Linda Greene, Gretchen Pfaehler. Absent:
Brian Crane, Outerbridge Horsey, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Chris Landis.
CLEVELAND PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
3426 Connecticut Avenue NW, HPA 18-384, permit/replace
signage and add additional signage.
The Board approved the in-kind recreation
of the original “Uptown” sign contingent on staff reviewing the tracings of the
original letters, the LED tubing precisely matching the bends and curves of the
original neon tubing, the color of the lighting and sign cabinets matching the
existing, and a plan being developed for effective bird proofing of the new
sign. The Board concurred with the resolution of the ANC and found the
proposal for three signs mounted to the marquee to be incompatible and that
alternative signs in a more compatible location be explored with HPO.
Vote: 5-0.
MOUNT VERNON SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT
467-469 M Street NW, HPA 18-517,
concept/subdivide into two lots; build two three-story buildings.
The Board found the subdivision and
concept design for two new, three-story rowhouses at 467 and 469 M Street to be
compatible with the character of the historic district, consistent with the
purpose of the preservation act, and delegate final approval to staff. Vote:
5-0.
1110 6th Street NW, HPA 18-440,
concept/four-story rear and rooftop addition.
The Board found the concept design for a
three-story rear addition and one-story rooftop addition 1110 6th Street NW to
be compatible with the character of the historic district, consistent with the
purpose of the preservation act, and delegated final approval to staff. Vote:
5-0.
513 U Street NW, HPA 18-360, concept/rear
roof addition; areaway alterations.
The Board found a three-story rear
addition to the two-story rowhouse at 513 U Street NW not compatible with the
character of the historic district and did not approve the concept design.
Vote: 5-0.
DUPONT CIRCLE HISTORIC DISTRICT
1827-1829 M Street NW, HPA 18-518,
concept/six-floor rear addition.
The case was deferred at the request of
ANC 2B.
MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE HISTORIC DISTRICT
2001 Massachusetts Avenue NW, HPA 18-515,
concept/three-story roof addition.
The Board found the concept design for a
three-story limestone addition with gray panels and window framing to be
compatible with the character of the Massachusetts Avenue and Dupont Circle
Historic Districts, but that further study was needed to make sure the
additional floors don’t read as too horizontal, and that details such as the
door placement, new awnings and elevator overrun should continue to be
developed. Vote: 4-1.
U STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
1914 8th Street NW, HPA 18-468,
concept/five-story rear addition on two-story rowhouse,
The Board considered and did not support
the ANC resolution and approved the concept as consistent with the preservation
act with the requirement that the railing be set back 25’ and the color of the
addition not be black or white. Vote: 5-0
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS HISTORIC DISTRICT
1818 Vernon Street NW, HPA 18-443,
concept/new basement entry doors; basement windows; new walkway with retaining
wall.
The Board approved the concept as
consistent with the preservation act with the provision that new basement doors
and windows align with the fenestration of the first floor and be sized to
match. Vote: 5-0.
