Vote: 6-0 (Pfaehler recused).
HISTORIC LANDMARK
Scottish Rite Temple, 1733 16th Street NW, HPA 19-497, subdivision.

DUPONT CIRCLE HISTORIC DISTRICT

ANACOSTIA HISTORIC DISTRICT
2216 Chester Street SE, HPA 19-463, concept/proposed subdivision of existing lot into two lots; two single-family dwellings each with an accessory dwelling unit.
The Board approved the concept for the subdivision and the primary (front) houses, but not the accessory dwelling units, with a delegation to staff of further review, with the condition that the applicant revise the drawings to address adequately the staff report comments. Vote: 6-1.
2242 Chester Street SE, HPA 19-462, concept/new construction of semi-detached single-family dwelling.
The Board approved the concept design for the proposed house, delegating to staff further review, with the conditions that the applicant revise the drawings to address adequately the staff report comments, and that the cornice of exposed rafter ends be refined in profile. Vote: 6-0 (Landis absent).
1448 W Street SE, HPA 19-554, permit/construction of two-story house.
The Board approved the design for the proposed house, delegating to staff further review of the permit application, with the condition that the applicant revise the drawings to address adequately the staff report comments. Vote: 6-0 (Landis absent).
1446 W Street SE, HPA 19-551, permit/construction of two-story house.
The Board approved the design for the proposed house, delegating to staff further review of the permit application, with the conditions that the applicant revise the drawings to address adequately the staff report comments, and that the meters be concealed as much as feasible and that the building is sided throughout with wood lap siding. Vote: 6-0 (Landis absent).
WALTER REED HISTORIC DISTRICT
6900 Georgia Avenue NW, HPA 19-560, design development/construction of a six-story building (“I/J”) and Town Center plaza.
The Board supported the development of the designs and delegated further review to the staff, with the condition that revisions for permit drawings address the Board’s comments about:
a) having some smaller-scaled paving materials in the park; b) opening up the kiosk more, having its pergola of the same material as the pergola on the opposite side of the park, and considering extending the pergola over the entire kiosk, including its roof; c) carefully planting and maintaining the bioretention areas to integrate them into the park; d) having the piers at the “townhouse” entrances on the Elder Street side of the building be of the same color and material as those at the retail space; e) concealing through-wall vents from public view as much as feasible; f) adopting another material warmer than the wood-like aluminum panels but of similar color; g) selecting another window material than vinyl, at least without more information on the energy efficiency and durability of the proposed installation; and h) providing more depth/reveal especially where the windows are shown to be installed flush with spandrel panels, and thinning them and giving them more profile at certain points where the units are mulled together. Vote: 7-0.
TAKOMA PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
218 Cedar Street NW, HPA 19-318, revised concept, new construction of five-story mixed use building.
The Board approved the revised concept contingent on an additional setback on the north elevation’s 3rd and 4th floors (resulting in an associated setback for the penthouse), a reduction in the height of the parapet above the storefronts on Cedar, and a recommendation that a lighter color be used for the penthouse. Final approval was delegated to HPO and less than a quorum of the Board. Vote: 5-2.
6824 5th Street NW, HPA 19-439, concept/solar panels on front elevation.
The Board found the installation of 12 additional panels on the front roof slope at 6824 5th Street to be inconsistent with its principle that roof appurtenances be located so that they are not prominently visible from public street view, and was incompatible in scale, texture, and reflectivity with the character of roofs in the Takoma Park Historic District. Vote: 5-1.
GWU/WEST END HISTORIC DISTRICT
1900 F Street NW, HPA 19-542, concept/enclose interior court; addition.
The Board approved the overall concept with the exception of the removal of the south wall as it is designed right now, and asked for the project to come back to the Board.
Vote:6-0.
