Preview: Board of Architectural Review to meet Wednesday
Agenda includes City Hall alterations, signage at North Pitt Street business
The Alexandria Board of Architectural Review will meet on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in City Hall Council Chambers to review alteration requests for properties in the city’s historic districts.
The seven-member volunteer board reviews all exterior changes to buildings in the Parker-Gray and Old and Historic Alexandria districts, as well as to structures that are at least 100 years old. Property owners must obtain the board’s approval before making visible alterations or demolishing more than 25 square feet of a structure.
What’s on the agenda
The board will consider seven alteration requests requiring public hearings, including:
City-requested changes at 301 King St. and 108 N. Fairfax St. (unfinished business from a previous meeting)
Alterations at five residential properties ranging from 229 N. Alfred St. to 415 N. Peyton St.
Alterations and new signage at 111 N. Pitt St.
The board will also review preliminary design concepts for 333 N. Fairfax St.
Staff already approved 18 routine maintenance requests administratively, including roof, window, and door replacements at properties throughout the historic districts.
How to participate
Residents can attend in person at City Hall, 301 King St., Room 2400, or watch via the city’s website. Those wishing to comment on specific applications should arrive before that item is called.
