The Board of Architecture Review convened on September 30, 2024, to address several key items on their agenda, beginning with the approval of minutes from the previous meeting. No corrections were proposed, leading to a unanimous motion to accept the minutes.

The board then moved to the consent calendar, which included two requests for alterations at local properties. Both requests, submitted by Linda Windsor and Paul Miller, were approved without public opposition. However, one item previously deferred was not discussed as the applicant requested additional time to resolve noticing issues.

In new business, the board reviewed a request for alterations and partial demolition at 304 North Pitt Street, presented by architect Grace Indian O'Grady. The proposal included two modest one-story additions to the home, which had recently received a special exception from the Board of Zoning Appeals. The board expressed no questions or concerns, leading to a motion for approval, which passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the next session scheduled for a Tuesday, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in local governance. Additionally, discussions highlighted ongoing efforts to improve Alexandria's stormwater management and public safety initiatives, including the Vision Zero program aimed at eliminating traffic-related deaths and serious injuries by 2028. The city is actively working on infrastructure improvements to enhance water quality and safety for residents, reflecting a commitment to sustainable urban development.
