The Webster Groves Architecture Review Board approved multiple preapproved projects at its May 7 meeting, including applications for 114 Jersey Avenue, 504 Sherwood Drive, 246 South Old Orchard and a front-window replacement at 522 Gray Avenue.
Board Chair Bob Buckman opened the regular meeting and called for a motion to approve the April 16 minutes; Carol Dunkey moved and David Yates seconded, and the minutes were approved by voice vote. The board then handled preapprovals: Carol Dunkey moved to approve 114 Jersey Avenue "as submitted," David Yates seconded and the motion passed after a voice vote. Similarly, 504 Sherwood Drive and 246 South Old Orchard were approved following brief reviews.
On 522 Gray Avenue, contractor Sam of Renewal by Andersen answered board questions about window color and details. David Yates urged horizontal mullions to echo the original nine-pane windows; Sam said the replacement units will be bronze and that the homeowner prefers the more open midcentury style. "The window itself will be the same color as the window that is presently or the original color of the existing original window," Sam said. After the exchange the board voted to approve the Gray Avenue windows as submitted.
The approvals were routine and largely uncontroversial: board members repeatedly indicated they had "no comments" or found the submittals "elegant" or "in keeping" with the structures. There were no formal conditions attached to the Jersey, Sherwood or Old Orchard approvals on the record.
The board moved on to other agenda items after completing the preapprovals; several applications were discussed in more depth later in the meeting.
