HPRB ACTIONS
January 28 and February 4, 2021
The Historic Preservation Review Board convened a public meeting on January 28 and February 4 via WebEx.
JANUARY 28 MEETING
Present for the meeting were: Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Matthew Bell, Linda Greene, Outerbridge Horsey, Alexandra Jones, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Gretchen Pfaehler
AGENDA
HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION
HEARING
Colony Hill Historic District, HP
Case 21-03, encompassing Hoban Road NW (all addresses) Hadfield Lane NW (all
addresses); 1800 block 45th Street NW (all addresses); and 1699, 1701, 1709,
1717 Foxhall Road NW.
The Board voted 5-3 to not
support the HPO staff report recommending that the Colony Hill neighborhood be
designated as a historic district. However, following the vote, the Chair
acknowledged that the Board had not followed its required procedures in that it
had not addressed the designation criteria or the ANC resolution.
Accordingly, the Chair asked that the case be continued to the February 4th
meeting.
CLEVELAND PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
3000 Tilden Street NW (Tilden
Gardens), HPA 21-052, permit/replace 1,483 windows.
The Board voted to deny
recommendation of approval of the permit for window replacement and recommended
the applicant develop a preservation solution for more of the original
windows. Vote: 8-0.
WALTER REED HISTORIC DISTRICT
6900 Georgia Avenue NW, HPA
21-131, concept/new construction of five-story mixed use building.
The Board expressed general
support for the concept’s overall size and footprint, general massing and
materials, but it did not vote approval. It instead requested that the
project return with further development, so that the applicant may consider:
whether the length of the building can be mitigated by either dividing it into
more than one structure or creating more pronounced recesses; redesigning the
storefronts with more consistency within each section of building and to relate
better to the building above; revising the attic story with more depth and
detail, but without the five-foot setback; adding more detail to the brick
walls; and redesigning the balconies and door openings so that the latter
relate better to the rest of the fenestration.
U STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT
1924 11th Street NW, HPA 21-124,
permit/third floor addition and roof deck.
The Board recommended approval of
the permit on the condition that the plans be revised to set the third story
roof addition back on the rear ell an additional four feet and lowered two feet
in height to ensure that the addition is not prominently visible from street
view. Vote: 6-0.
1722 10th Street NW, HPA 21-100,
concept/new construction, three-story residential building.
The Board approved the revised concept
for the two-story house but found the partial third floor to be incompatible
due to its visibility from street view. Vote: 6-0.
BLOOMINGDALE HISTORIC DISTRICT
50 Adams Street NW, HPA 21-129,
concept/add rear stair and roof deck to house; add second story to one-story
garage.
The Board found the concept for a one-story addition on top of the garage to be compatible given the lack of historic context to this alley and delegated final approval to HPO. Vote: 7-0.
FEBRUARY 4 MEETING
Present for the meeting were: Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Matthew Bell, Outerbridge Horsey, Alexandra Jones, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Gretchen Pfaehler. Absent: Linda Greene,

INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION
Overview of recently completed projects.
HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGNATION
HEARING
Colony Hill Historic District, HP
Case 21-03, encompassing Hoban Road NW (all addresses) Hadfield Lane NW (all
addresses); 1800 block 45th Street NW (all addresses); and 1699, 1701, 1709,
1717 Foxhall Road NW.
The Board deliberated and
discussed the application in the context of the designation criteria and the
ANC resolution in support of the application. After substantive
discussion, the Board voted 6-1 to support the application as meeting DC
designation criterion F and National Register criterion C (notable works of
creative masters) and voted 5-2 to support the application as meeting DC
designation criterion D and National Register criterion C (architecture and
urbanism). A motion to support the application as meeting DC designation
criterion B and National Register criterion A (history) failed by a vote of
3-4.
CAPITOL HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT
921 G Street SE, HPA 21-132,
concept/fill in dogleg, add third story.
The Board voted to support a
two-story rear addition but determined that a third story addition that was
visible from street view in the front, side, and rear, with the addition
establishing a new higher height than other buildings in this row, was
incompatible. The Board addressed the ANC resolution in support of the
application by explaining that its decision was consistent with how it had
reviewed other similar applications. Vote: 4-2.
SHAW HISTORIC DISTRICT
927 N Street NW, HPA 21-104,
concept/ construct three-story addition plus roof deck at alley.
The Board found the concept for a three-story addition rear addition to 927 N Street NW, to be compatible with the character of the historic district on the condition that it not be setback from the alley edge, and delegate final approval to staff. The Board noted that the application was supported by ANC 2F. Vote: 6-0
ANACOSTIA HISTORIC DISTRICT
1353 Maple View Place SE, HPA 20-462,
concept/new construction of two-story accessory dwelling unit at rear, front
parking pad.
The Board found the parking pad and curb cut to be incompatible with the character of the Anacostia Historic District and that issuance of a permit for the rear addition ADU be contingent on its removal and restoration of the front yard to unpaved green space. Vote: 6-0.
2249 14th Street SE, HPA 21-127,
concept/new construction of two-story house.
The Board approved the general concept, contingent on the conditions outlined in the staff report being addressed, and with final construction plan approval delegated to staff. Vote: 6-0..
1335 Maple View Place SE, HPA
21-049, revised concept/add additional story to existing house; add rear
addition with balcony at rear.
The Board did not vote but provided comments that a one-story rear addition would be compatible, that converting the proposed basement space to additional living space (with additional windows on the side and rear) should be further explored, but that the proposed size and roof profile of the two-story rear/roof addition was not compatible.
