James Slosser, the applicant, told the board that the house dates to about 1930 and currently has long-standing aluminum siding; he proposed Hardie cement fiberboard siding, trim boards and window trims and said the porch sunroom would be excluded from the siding replacement. \"Hardy is for sure the material that's absolutely wanted,\" Slosser said.

Board members discussed precedent, material profile and visual effect. Members noted that the existing aluminum siding is a nonconforming later material (likely from the 1970s) and that a smooth Hardie lap with a 7-inch exposure would present a profile closer to historic appearances than the current metal siding. The board discussed corner treatment and agreed trim would be a Hardie trim board (1x5/1x4) installed to provide a traditional reveal rather than metal capping.

The board also attached a recommendation that the homeowner investigate whether original stucco or other historic material remains beneath the aluminum and to pursue restoration options if feasible. Members said that if shutters cannot be salvaged when detached they should be replaced in wood and return to the board for approval if replaced with vinyl or other nonconforming materials.

A motion to approve BAR25-234 to replace the aluminum siding with smooth Hardie (hardiplank) passed with no opposition; the board recorded a condition that remodeled shutters replaced after removal must be wood or require return to the board for approval.

The board and applicant discussed finish options; board members indicated a preference for smooth Hardie over wood-grain finish on older homes. Staff will include the recommended investigative step in the approval notes and follow up with the applicant about corner trim details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Winchester - Board of Architectural Review - 4:00 PM - May 15 2025 - May 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Architectural Review approved replacing existing aluminum siding at 216 West Palmol Street with smooth Hardie (fiber cement) lap siding, conditioning that shutters be retained or replaced in wood and asking the owner to investigate underlying historic materials.","taxTitle","Winchester City, Frederick County, Virginia","taxId",5107,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567386,"Board tables plaque request for 710 South Washington Street and discusses plaque policy and Preservation Month outreach",363,866000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3327305-4e9cc21ea50a1db459fe115f73ede6c1&start=866&end=1229","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3327305-4e9cc21ea50a1db459fe115f73ede6c1/thumbnail_866000.jpg","/articles/6567386/Winchester-City/Frederick-County/Virginia/Board-tables-plaque-request-for-710-South-Washington-Street-and-discusses-plaque-policy-and-Preservation-Month-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567386-a3ffe0c7517ef08ec4313099d269bc74/orig.mp4?Expires=1770398211&Signature=b7tQlfHCl2Xi4HI9fXXu5zqJ5qKbhfpqW0UXZqCUFFHCarqup~3r36vnGqEa2x3oqHVsqd8ZGVjeeIJmAzKV0NnxveKcGSgVK3ChJojNp9OXaT~GSbRJvdBZ-7DHa0LJO~ct7UH7WIrIcEBImv1OVk8Lz0vVUtalmo9eAdmeiZpLq4sUYVpUDdp25IjKPHwJCOfAAJPnxjx9kVVj2gzKpLC8vrOdoxjIvDIAy8NLcm7Hk92s~Yl6BfdPCp0NCzCja3GwCmSxsh2WFU3y3KuVWOoTcC6c4Rlp3hkG5vRFa~ZzetZsTgovIwFNaE25qzMRXIgG7fzo~yoVpeTScCidoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Winchester City Board of Architectural Review on May 15 tabled a request by Cheryl Crowell for a historic plaque at 710 South Washington Street, saying the board needs clearer written standards before awarding plaques to newer properties.

\"I don't feel like there's a conflict, but I do know her and she we work at the same place,\" a board member said while addressing potential conflicts. Board members agreed the applicant's absence and the lack of clear written criteria justified postponing action. One board member said the property is \"a hundred year old home\" and likely contributes to the historic district, but the board lacks a defined cutoff for plaque eligibility.

Members discussed whether plaque criteria should align with other city processes. A board member noted the city ordinance requires a public hearing to demolish buildings at 75 years of age; several members suggested using 75 years as a reasonable threshold for plaque eligibility or at least to guide discussions. Board members also said plaques have traditionally been used to reward good preservation practice in addition to commemorating historic events or persons.

The board voted to table BAR25-239 to allow staff to bring written plaque criteria back to the board. The motion to table passed with no opposition.

During the later \"other discussion\" portion of the meeting, staff said Preservation Month materials have been finalized. The materials will be distributed to about 900 property owners within the historic district and highlighted in the city's newsletter (WinConnect). Staff reported the board issued one plaque earlier in the year for 311 South Loudoun Street (noting construction dates to 1790) and that the foundry used for plaques has gone out of business; the board is searching for a new foundry and will continue coordinating with Preservation of Historic Winchester (PHW) on distribution and standards.

Board members asked staff to draft written guidance on plaque criteria, consider coordinating with PHW for recommendations, and return the item to a future meeting with a proposal.","The Board of Architectural Review tabled a request for a Winchester historic plaque for 710 South Washington Street to allow staff and the board time to develop or clarify plaque criteria; the board also discussed Preservation Month outreach and distribution of a city pamphlet.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567391,"Board approves metal-clad window replacements for 135 North Kent Street",616,248000,864000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3327305-4e9cc21ea50a1db459fe115f73ede6c1&start=248&end=864","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3327305-4e9cc21ea50a1db459fe115f73ede6c1/thumbnail_248000.jpg","/articles/6567391/Winchester-City/Frederick-County/Virginia/Board-approves-metal-clad-window-replacements-for-135-North-Kent-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567391-2d600c1ee6595ba9c3356e2114866522/orig.mp4?Expires=1770398211&Signature=YyY5bcSE9rIu7eiqcuSIy0QfGZt9UYd3r0jhWdDQmp0n3VpkRHMEXafA4KpgXFj4tAHC0tsMQs3zErNZAHRzldaHMze3yY5YHkexlBxmRuDeI49CXAL1mlwU~2z~Hy3~Ywla5qC3bxAB2f-NOqyR8eHdoal-maYF72WjdUDa7GuBj0D6efhps7sSeirxGXN3CYoDOpu0S9amHQzRHMUZw1SAhHwSnMVML5WnZg0k2q4yYS74IZx-tCPDp4w8T1T-68S4HxRVSMS58DREACtVk-VeTZ1fFoFVs5zY8pHS5gL8cd~I97FmUIkI56IM8NOvEA04~1hBctEVknfwu0ztug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Winchester City Board of Architectural Review on May 15 approved a certificate of appropriateness allowing the replacement of aging rear windows at 135 North Kent Street with metal-clad windows that match existing rear windows.

The decision affects a seven-unit condominium building originally constructed about 1900 and substantially renovated around 2019. Michael Bilder, the applicant, told the board that eight rear windows date to about 1986 and at least one was leaking and causing rot. \"We would like to replace the 40 year old windows with ones ... the same brand in the same manufacturer of the- the ones that had been replaced on the backside the black ones,\" Bilder said during his presentation.

Board members discussed visibility, materials and historical significance. Several members noted that the rear elevation is a secondary elevation with limited public view from Kent Street. Vice Chair Wynne and other members referenced the board's flexibility for secondary elevations when considering non-primary facades. The board agreed the proposed windows would match the appearance of existing rear windows and would be aluminum-clad wood (metal-clad) to match the rest of the rear elevation.

A motion to approve BAR25-238 stipulated that vinyl windows be replaced with metal-clad windows of similar light configuration. The motion passed with board members voting aye and no opposition.

The board record shows the applicant asked staff to review prior approvals for the 2019 renovation; board members asked staff to confirm whether the rear windows had previously been approved and to note that the 1986 addition is not historically significant. The board's action authorizes the replacement as described; no additional work was required to be returned to the board beyond the certificate conditions.

Looking ahead, staff indicated they would check prior permit and approval files to document the 2019 rehabilitation and the 1986 addition, and the applicant may proceed under the certificate terms approved by the board.","The Winchester Board of Architectural Review approved a certificate of appropriateness for metal-clad window replacements at the rear of a 7-unit condominium at 135 North Kent Street, citing the rear elevation\u0000as a secondary elevation and matching existing rear windows.","actionData","errors"]
