The Webster Groves Architecture Review Board approved five residential projects at its regular meeting (date not specified in the transcript), setting conditions intended to preserve existing rooflines, window patterns and exterior detailing.
Board members opened the meeting by approving minutes from the Jan. 23 meeting and then heard public hearings for 28 Marshall Place, 110 Orchard Avenue, 51 Rosemont Avenue, 501 Foreston Place and 1 Springbrook Place. The board approved each item after applicants addressed questions about materials, window styles and exterior details.
At 28 Marshall Place, Patrick Knoblauch of Made Man Design identified himself as the project architect and Julie Wood as the owner. Board members asked whether a flat-roof detail in the drawings applied to the sunroom and noted a gutter that appeared to terminate over a barbecue. A board member moved to approve the project with two conditions: the new construction’s roof eave must match the existing building and a downspout must be added to the sunroom roof. The motion passed by voice vote.
For 110 Orchard Avenue, Tim Schatz of Blaze Architects said the new windows will be 6-over-1 and 8-over-1 double-hung units, with a narrow casement on the second floor. The board approved the rear addition with the clarification that window styles be consistent around the building; the transcript records two affirmative votes and one opposing voice during the roll call.
On 51 Rosemont Avenue, Joe Raven with Hercules Design Build described the plan to relocate a kitchen window and to keep the second-floor porch windows unchanged. The board approved the project with the understanding that the porch windows remain.
The largest discussion centered on 501 Foreston Place. Luke Pulliam (architect) and Ryan Schultz (Anzac Development) addressed multiple scope items: the siding-to-brick joint, whether the exposed foundation would be finished, retaining an existing glass-block window and a rear garage door, and the need for an exterior stair or an alternate elevation treatment where a door appears in the drawings. The board’s approval included several conditions: the west-elevation door shown on the addition will be changed to a 3-by-5 window; the owners have the option to include two double-hung windows in the master bedroom; existing glass block and the garage door will remain; the existing front porch will remain; new siding corners and window openings on the addition shall have trim rather than an exposed j-mold; and the siding-to-brick joint shall be set so the siding trim or j-mold terminates at the rear face of the brick.
At 1 Springbrook Place, Shelley Adcock of Home Depot said the homeowner preferred new windows without grids. The board recommended—without requiring—that the owners retain the existing grid pattern for neighborhood cohesiveness and approved the project while allowing the owners the option to keep the existing window style without returning to the board.
Several applicants and board members provided short remarks during the hearings. Patrick Knoblauch introduced himself as "We're the architects on the project" (applicant introduction). Shelley Adcock noted that the homeowner received multiple bids without grids: "He had 4 different bids, and they all all 4 bids were without without grids in them." The board’s motions and votes were recorded by voice; specific individual vote attributions beyond the recorded affirmative and opposing voices were not provided in the transcript.
The meeting concluded with the board approving the five items with the noted conditions and adjourning.
Minutes: The board approved the Jan. 23 meeting minutes by motion and voice vote earlier in the session.
What’s next: Decisions include conditions that applicants must reflect on permit sets and permit reviews; where the board recorded options (for example, the master-bedroom window at 501 Foreston Place or the optional retention of grids at 1 Springbrook Place), applicants may proceed with those options without returning to the board, per the motions recorded in the meeting.
