Sept. 2, 2025 — The Architectural Review Board reviewed models and discussed structural and finish details for a rooftop/deck structure at a property near the corner of Ridgewood and East Washington.
An unidentified participant described how "the posts that support the roof are being supported by an existing deck," and participants questioned how the new elements tie into existing rail and window lines. "Does the vinyl window system just come down right behind the rail on the —" another participant asked; the reply was that the window system "comes out probably" behind the rail.
Board members and meeting participants also discussed the roof gable and finish. One participant asked whether the gable would remain open; the designer responded that it would be open and noted the project would use radiant heaters, saying, "because the heaters are radiant..." Several speakers noted the roof framing uses substantial beams, described in the transcript as "hefty beams."
Participants said the work would include redoing a section of roofs that extends back along the building; one speaker described the property location as "the corner of Ridgewood and Bell or, Washington. East Washington." The transcript indicates the model and photos were shown during the discussion.
No formal action on the design or a project approval is recorded in the provided transcript. The only recorded formal action in the excerpt was approval of the meeting minutes from the Aug. 19, 2025 Architectural Review Board meeting; a motion was made and seconded and the board vocalized "Aye." The transcript does not record who moved or seconded, nor does it record a roll-call vote tally.
The board did not specify next steps for the project in the available transcript excerpt.
