AGENDA
INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION
Overview of DC archeological
program.
SHAW HISTORIC DISTRICT
1400 9th Street NW, HPA 21-142,
concept/ new construction of three-story building.
The Board found the 4-story side
addition proposed for 1400 9th Street NW in the Shaw Historic District to be
compatible with the historic building and historic district, that the treatment
of the historic building be revised to eliminate the 9th Street cornice reduce
the width of the projection, and that the two-story element atop the historic
building be reduced to a single story, and that final approval be delegated to
staff. Vote: 6-0.
BLOOMINGDALE HISTORIC DISTRICT
87 V Street NW, HPA 21-327,
concept/rear porch.
The Board approved the permit for
the new two-story rear porch at 87 V Street NW as compatible with the character
of the historic district on the condition that the existing brick balustrade is
not demolished and the new porch steps are not placed in public space. Vote:
6-0..
WOODLEY PARK HISTORIC DISTRICT
2735 Connecticut Avenue NW, HPA
20-391, concept/rear addition of four stories behind two-story building.
The Board approved the project as
consistent with the Act, contingent on the roof deck railing being pulled back
7 feet from the front façade, and delegated final review to staff. HPRB
approval shall not be construed as support for any necessary zoning relief.
Vote: 6-0.
DUPONT CIRCLE HISTORIC DISTRICT
1637 17th Street NW, HPA 21-318,
concept/sidewalk café
enclosure.
The Board denied the concept as
inconsistent with the Act, as it the proposed enclosure was visually
incompatible, resulted in removal of character-defining features, resulted in
an awkward relationship with the adjoining stair, and was unclear as to how the
enclosure would be removable and the building restorable. Vote: 5-0.

Present for the meeting were:
Marnique Heath, Chair; Andrew Aurbach, Matthew Bell, Outerbridge Horsey,
Alexandra Jones, Sandra Jowers-Barber, Gretchen Pfaehler. Absent: Linda Greene.

I don't see any mention of the business coming to 52 Quincy Pl. and attempting to earmark more of our scare on-street parking spaces. It strikes me as dubious that "Petite Scholars" daycare claims that most of their clientele will walk to the site, but then goes and gets support for earmarking parking by people who don't actually live on Quincy Pl. at the expense of those who do.
It is a decidedly unneighborly move.
