Board members said recent products—fiberglass and wood‑composite historic lines—may offer longer‑lasting, lower‑maintenance alternatives to vinyl and older aluminum‑clad units. One member argued that some modern composites “are superior to an aluminum clad” and that allowing them in limited‑visibility elevations could reduce long‑term maintenance burdens. Another member said the board has traditionally revised guidelines over time rather than maintaining a product list but supported the idea of meeting with manufacturers to compare profiles and finishes.

Staff said they could draft guideline revisions for the board’s review; larger changes sometimes are presented to City Council for awareness, while minor tweaks typically remain at the board/staff level. Members suggested inviting the major historic‑line manufacturers—Andersen, Marvin, Pella, and others—to present specifications and sample profiles at a future meeting. The board noted that Anderson (Andersen Renewal) had previously engaged with applicants and that a demonstration or sample could help the board consider administrative approval for recurring, well‑documented products.

In other business, staff reported a completed flyer (described in the meeting as a Braddock‑area distribution) that would be circulated to the board for comment, and staff noted that one member, Mr. Winters, is up for reappointment and that interviews for potential new members were being scheduled.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Winchester - Board of Architectural Review - 4:00 PM - Feb 06 2025 - Feb 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Board members discussed updating Winchester design guidelines to reflect newer composite window products, agreed to invite manufacturers to present product profiles, and reviewed upcoming board reappointments and a planned neighborhood flyer.","taxTitle","Winchester City, Frederick County, Virginia","taxId",5107,"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},6674927,"BAR approves lower half of replacement doors at 201 N.

Applicant (representing Clark McGehee) told the board the intent was to remove modern aluminum framing and replace it with a wood surround and doors. The applicant described the new assembly as a largely wood panel with a small transom \"a 2 by 2\" of glass inset; the full opening and the decorative panel above were the items board members said they needed to visualize more clearly.

“I would be also inclined to approve the lower half but to come back with a submittance for the top half,” one board member said. Members expressed support for wood material and the overall approach but requested a drawing or photograph showing the entire opening and the transom placement before approving the upper panel.

A motion to approve BAR 24‑899 for the lower half passed on a voice vote; the board and applicant agreed the applicant would submit the additional information and return at the next available meeting (applicant indicated they could return in two weeks).","The Board approved replacement of the lower portion of the main doors at 201 North Loudoun Street but asked the applicant to return with sketches showing the top panel/transom design before final approval of the assembly.",{"_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},6674930,"BAR approves one‑story garage and family‑room addition at 427 N.

Contractor Richie Pfeiffer, representing owners Ray and Heather Watkins, described the project as a single‑story addition sized to avoid an earlier encroachment and placed about four feet from the property line. Pfeiffer said the addition will use Marvin wood windows, a standing‑seam metal roof with 16‑inch panels to match the existing house, and Hardie plank siding in a smooth profile and a color chosen to match the current paint.

Pfeiffer said the garage door will be a new steel door and that the project had been reduced to avoid a prior encroachment; a final survey was pending. Board members asked for details about siding reveal and trim profiles; Pfeiffer said the siding would be smooth, similar in reveal to existing cladding (discussed as roughly a six‑inch to 7¼‑inch reveal in the hearing), and that window and trim moldings would match at five‑quarter stock.

A motion to approve the application carried on a voice vote. The board and applicant discussed minor details, such as clearance between the bottom of the siding and the driveway to meet manufacturer recommendations, and agreed to coordinate final trim and foundation interface details with staff.","The Board of Architectural Review granted a certificate of appropriateness for a one‑story addition on the north side of 427 North Loudoun Street, approving materials including Marvin wood windows, Hardie plank siding and standing‑seam metal roofing.",{"_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},6674935,"Board approves rear and side window replacements at 413 N.

Owner Julie Nagel told the board the home’s interior windows and storms had been painted and glued shut by previous owners and that the house currently lacks bedroom egress. “We have no egress on the bedroom areas up in the attic or on the main bedroom floor. The only egress that we have in the house is the front door and the back door,” Nagel said. She added: “We’re living in a fire hazard right now.”

Nagel sought to replace the non-street-facing windows with a historic-style insert from Anderson Renewal that she said would preserve the exterior appearance. She described the product as a wood-paneled, six-over‑one appearance on the top sash, with the wood mullions applied to the exterior so the visible profile would match the existing historic look. The applicants said the insert units would be attached to the existing frames and that interior weights and balances would be retained where possible.

City staff and board members discussed the guideline language allowing clad or wood-composite windows on non-primary, limited-visibility elevations and the board’s past practice of reviewing newer composite and fiberglass historic lines on a case-by-case basis. Board members asked for product samples and profile details; the applicant said Anderson would take 16–18 weeks to produce the custom units.

A motion to approve BAR 2552 as presented — limited to rear and side elevations and the garage with the Anderson Renewal insert windows — carried on a voice vote. The board did not approve the front elevation replacement at this meeting.","The Winchester BAR approved a certificate of appropriateness for replacement windows on the rear and side elevations and garage at 413 North Braddock Street to address safety and egress concerns; the front elevation was left unchanged pending further review.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6674938,"Winchester Board of Architectural Review names Barton Shastler chair, confirms Packard as vice chair",31,194000,225000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2241255-126bfab10ca11ab4b84d9f66469aed7e&start=194&end=225","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2241255-126bfab10ca11ab4b84d9f66469aed7e/thumbnail_194000.jpg","/articles/6674938/Winchester-City/Frederick-County/Virginia/Winchester-Board-of-Architectural-Review-names-Barton-Shastler-chair-confirms-Packard-as-vice-chair","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674938-d43bd1ce49b2e4ca586d6c251387a1cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771174206&Signature=RpKp51ILoprbzSk~s8Op6~QwmuU31nbUemDVBxaEpW51~A2ZEV4rU4dmw5f8GCvAWiEZJtT-ZfM0GwjkmlVFVbvjTkOvonueFCy5qfryrS6JKe21HjQVDihYPD0um~WDV7ABg85oeGDeErQuUVDoNs2vks7wgql1i18WZJZ0J-VUYIQUmlhVfpMrxjS04Uvu4nN4Z5tnYA366kS8cKFAaZvOeo8HynCzcyXWmANFE~PeY~6FYQ-ENiFUm6y2~LOP4gOU-m8C24N-U-KtNXE6ff5gOX5DqlZGhzW2aekqESfcK81Zp20p0n6NBV140y65NrxD3sTOXz10WF~hUlgROQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Winchester City Board of Architectural Review elected Barton Shastler as chair and confirmed Vice Chair Packard as vice chair at its February meeting.
