Consent agenda: The BAR placed two straightforward projects on the consent agenda. The board approved TLHBBR2024-0064102 (Shutters on King projecting sign at South King Street) and TLHBBR2024-0062224 (window replacement at Loudoun Street Southwest) with findings and conditions in the staff reports. Judd Fido moved both consent approvals and Julie Pastor seconded; the vote was unanimous.

Nominations and election: Helen Aikman volunteered to serve as the one‑person nominating committee. The committee presented a slate of officers: Tom O'Neil to continue as chair, Judd Fido (vice chair) and Julie Pastor (parliamentarian). The board suspended the typical notice requirement and voted to approve the slate at the meeting; the motion carried unanimously.

Scheduling and procedures: Staff announced that new audiovisual equipment will be installed in the council chambers, which affects meeting scheduling and accessibility. The BAR voted to cancel the March 3 work session (rather than moving to another room) and planned to handle any items that would have required a March 3 work session at the March 19 business meeting if needed. The board also set a site visit for Feb. 3 for the 408 South King Street item and discussed availability for multiple site visits on the same day.

Votes at a glance: Consent agenda approvals — TLHBBR2024-0064102 South King Street (projecting sign) and TLHBBR2024-0062224 Loudoun Street Southwest (window replacement) — mover: Judd Fido; second: Julie Pastor; outcome: approved; vote: unanimous. Election of officers — mover: Helen Aikman (nominating committee); outcome: slate approved unanimously. Motion to cancel March 3 work session — outcome: approved unanimously.

Board members and staff noted concerns about temporary promotional displays and temporary signage placed around town (several “selfie backdrops” for a seasonal event were criticized for their materials and placement); planning staff said she would follow up with Economic Development and request removal of temporary displays after the event end date.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Leesburg - Board of Architectural Review - Business Meeting - Jan 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Jan. 22 meeting the BAR approved two consent items (a projecting sign and a window replacement), appointed a nominating committee, elected officers for 2025 and canceled the March 3 work session because of an AV installation in council chambers.","taxTitle","Leesburg, Loudoun County, Virginia","taxId",5641,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6679640,"BAR defers major 408 South King Street proposal — staff recommends site visit and work session",3071,2835000,5906000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3&start=2835&end=5906","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3/thumbnail_2835000.jpg","/articles/6679640/Leesburg/Loudoun-County/Virginia/BAR-defers-major-408-South-King-Street-proposal-staff-recommends-site-visit-and-work-session","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679640-5cc7648190d92c1678d7889c51613ec0/orig.mp4?Expires=1770876690&Signature=jVDHRndBGM~wB8gVffrqIcTNZVXnD4nSDQxQPl30mCjatHUaCBsc6xws6TNsxVltq5Fn5zicT~Sig-WvnZRZOtaTsMD0ditTJEJQyHTcg0pgDWP5qAdy~FXtCz0t7w6JExPS2u4XXejdsZDuwU1SZ1c~REoxZ-mWn34V5barr43dXnPibOv0E6kBR9uHmuyXWebUVFvoKNER04QN2pFIQaXczV~LAoGjp8~Kq82OK7SLy3LwxrZTSl5PjywH0e2LzpbS0B-nsKVq9G5~KX-6BFwU~oqE974icexWbNALkS4udOS3CueUgjz1cTXcPHn7bUiBf9Xkwf81QFhBrv6V4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Architectural Review on Jan. 22 deferred consideration of a large, multi-component application for 408 South King Street and directed staff and the applicant to pursue a site visit and a work session. The case was continued to the BAR work session scheduled for Feb. 3.

Planning staff described the proposal: demolition of a two‑story rear barn, relocation of an early-20th‑century summer kitchen within the same property, demolition of a 1930s hyphen, construction of a new rear addition with a new hyphen and construction of a new accessory garage. Staff said the summer kitchen sits about 3½ feet below the main house and is supported on stone piers; moving or raising the kitchen is feasible but needs a structural assessment. For the barn the staff recommended a more detailed structural report before a decision on total demolition because, unlike a small, clearly deteriorated garage already approved for demolition, the barn’s condition did not plainly show it was beyond repair.

Tom O'Neil, the project architect, said the design seeks to integrate and preserve the summer kitchen (raising its floor and removing its second floor to make it a usable family room) and recommended a site visit so the board can see the relationships among the house, the summer kitchen and the barn. He said moving the summer kitchen straight back 8 feet and raising it roughly 10 inches (plus other adjustments) was necessary to achieve an appropriate internal floor level. O'Neil said the owners have discussed house-moving contractors and that the deep lots on that section of South King Street provide options for relocation if the BAR supports it.

Staff recommended a site visit to assess visibility, massing and how the proposed addition would surround and potentially obscure the relocated summer kitchen; staff also recommended a work session to address design details. Board members agreed that a site visit would help the BAR understand the design constraints and directed staff to schedule the site visit in coordination with the Feb. 3 work session. The board moved to defer the item to the Feb. 3 work session in order to hold a site visit and further review; the motion passed.

Votes at a glance: Motion to defer TLHPBR20240063 (408 South King Street) to the Feb. 3, 2025 work session for site visit and work-session review — mover: Mike (applicant representative said he would coordinate) / motion recorded by BAR — outcome: deferred; vote: unanimous.

Staff listed recommended next steps to the BAR: obtain a structural report on the barn and a house-moving feasibility report, schedule a site visit before the work session, and use the work session to resolve fenestration and massing questions raised in the staff report.","The BAR deferred review of a multi-part proposal at 408 South King Street — demolition of a two‑story barn, relocation of a summer kitchen, a rear addition and a new accessory structure — and scheduled a site visit and work session for Feb. 3.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6679643,"BAR approves amended garage addition at 221A North King Street; chair recused",942,1824000,2766000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3&start=1824&end=2766","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3/thumbnail_1824000.jpg","/articles/6679643/Leesburg/Loudoun-County/Virginia/BAR-approves-amended-garage-addition-at-221A-North-King-Street-chair-recused","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679643-5eedf7307d5147f298b8b4d60842a261/orig.mp4?Expires=1770876690&Signature=DkuJYZmsFAMDyj5lBQwF8cTuczUGEb2ygYJOPX-3oVR5UENURUaegb6Y3JZg9ESw8QhkJDSWu9q7cDgIyZgzjPKB0AHerWM5IM6RHDrANrFKA8PNApmMRz5AcUO1e5mIHLmuPcMrsm~ZZLBrBUTvqbC-TW4nl2e7FvW1RdIzVI23qfYlR7WHtMbj9cJ5gcFukvBpc0W3Xeh~0ToPLyxgJbQVZ8PSCQ6rbkHyU7yEF0kQNpF1apzrJetkOE5dChmLu92HR1e12qtZKCXqgBPCwws7R0ONHUny~0WmGHFFkbo4iHB0wLvalF3pROba~A9NVcI82OplowZEK7bTLsTKOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Leesburg Board of Architectural Review on Jan. 22 approved an amended application for exterior alterations at 221A North King Street, amending a prior Certificate of Appropriateness for a garage addition. The board’s vote was 6–1 with Chair Tom O'Neil recused from deliberation and the vote.

Staff explained the application history and noted two updated submissions with clouded changes highlighted for the board. The most recent revisions adjusted window proportions, introduced two additional windows on the south elevation and added brackets to a Juliet balcony. Staff's memorandum (covering memo dated Jan. 13, 2025) concluded that while the increased foundation/water-table height increases masonry area, the configuration and placement of the garage addition mitigate visibility from most public right-of-way views and that fenestration changes enhance balance with the historic structure.

Tom O'Neil said he was representing the applicant in a professional capacity and had recused himself from BAR participation on this item because the zoning ordinance requires an architect on the BAR and that creates a conflict when that architect is the applicant’s representative. The BAR’s motion adopted findings in the staff memo and carried the standard BAR condition that any alterations resulting from site-plan or permit review that would affect footprint, height, attachment, scale or materials would require a revised BAR application.

The motion was moved and seconded (mover/second not specified in minutes). The board closed the public hearing before voting. The motion passed with six votes in favor and one recusal (Tom O'Neil). The staff memorandum’s findings and conditions are recorded as part of the approval.

The board noted that the majority of the increased masonry is not visible from the right-of-way and that revised window fenestration better reflects the historic building’s proportions. Any future changes that arise during permitting must return to the BAR.","The BAR approved a minor amendment to a previously approved garage addition at 221A North King Street, finding changes to window fenestration and raised foundation water-table height acceptable with conditions; Chair Tom O'Neil recused and the motion passed 6–1.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6679646,"Leesburg BAR approves new Millstone house on Lot 2 with conditions including Windsor windows",805,1193000,1998000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3&start=1193&end=1998","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2140610-07738da6fe45dd9ab4f835779565c1f3/thumbnail_1193000.jpg","/articles/6679646/Leesburg/Loudoun-County/Virginia/Leesburg-BAR-approves-new-Millstone-house-on-Lot-2-with-conditions-including-Windsor-windows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6679646-199337dc1e847a1f3fef83f850567b1f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770876690&Signature=YTmx3HfLBDirSrGLon1oH0RoNFdLrwLd18qSI2cc~y-SxYT~4kF6Ve~1pc6CqLTk3zuoPbXSXTe0qi3gh3TbYseXgqsvx2z1uZmzYDzGKqN4uEzJV6679UJ6Hlr0PpC0gUEkfl8hP4ZKs-vCtmJVYgYVv6VvpPpG7xwO2Nef-ZFZy6Wro-eK9T5vZfCG-pnycS7cohCTL23Gqe5RtgKr9UCVzjmoZXfJC0Ok3FEdE~qsEBSwEwb46e8dljjGXyQEuv7QGLqntbkKyLxnWNSCZzCy74xECcblvH~CHjjtlh3ZF9g3nteugzjcWra5TtIrX7VV1qSyw0xfHj1XgtKPhA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Leesburg Board of Architectural Review on Jan. 22 approved a design for a new single-family residence on Lot 2 of the Millstone subdivision, authorizing the applicant to proceed subject to several conditions.

Staff presented the application and noted it was a continuation from an earlier meeting; the BAR discussed massing, roof form and a proposed change to the windows. Staff recommended approval, saying the proposal was “consistent with the guidelines for new construction” in the subdivision. Lauren (staff member) told the board that the submitted revisions addressed issues raised in prior reports.

Andrew Rosenberger of Madison Homes, the applicant’s representative, described changes made after the December meeting: the primary mass now has a gable roof, the garage is pushed back behind the main facade, the garage roof material was changed from standing-seam metal to asphalt, and the front porch was centered. Rosenberger also said the applicant brought a sample of a Windsor clad double-hung window with simulated divided lights and asked that the BAR permit that window for this house and administrative substitution on previously approved houses so there would be consistency throughout the development.

The BAR’s motion approved the application based on the staff findings and included conditions requiring revised application for any architectural changes that result from site plan, zoning or building-permit review; final garage door details to be submitted to staff for review; a picture-frame trim or skirt board on the rear deck to conceal Trex decking ends; screening under the deck with diagonal or boxed wood lattice (with additional design review if the deck is more than 3 feet above grade); and use of the Windsor clad window sample presented at the meeting. Helen Aikman moved approval; Judd Fido seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Board members thanked the applicant for the revisions, noting the simplified massing and the relocated garage reduced the visual impact. Rosenberger said the owners have closed on the property and expect to start land development in the coming months.

The board’s action carries standard follow-up requirements: if site-plan or permit review changes footprint, height, attachment, scale or materials, the applicant must return with a revised BAR application.

Votes at a glance: Motion to approve TLHPBR20240048 for Lot 2, Millstone subdivision — mover: Helen Aikman; second: Judd Fido; outcome: approved; vote: 7 yes, 0 no.

The BAR scheduled no additional review conditions beyond the listed staff conditions but noted administrative review would be used where appropriate for future, minor substitutions (for example, window model substitutions across the community if BAR concurs).","The Board of Architectural Review approved a design for a new residence on Lot 2 of the Millstone subdivision, subject to conditions on garage details, rear-deck trim and a specified Windsor clad window to be used across the community.","actionData","errors"]
