The Leesburg Board of Architectural Review convened on July 23, 2025, to address several agenda items, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and the review of new cases in the Historic District. The meeting began with a roll call, confirming a quorum, followed by the adoption of the revised agenda, which included a motion to provide translation services for future meetings.
The board approved the minutes from the June 2 and June 18 meetings with minor edits. During the member disclosure segment, several board members declared potential conflicts of interest related to specific projects but did not recuse themselves from the discussions.
Public comments were invited, but no attendees chose to speak. The board then moved to the consent agenda, which included applications deemed straightforward and compliant with guidelines. All items on the consent agenda were approved unanimously.
A significant discussion arose regarding a case involving an existing shed at 290 North Street Northeast. The board decided to defer this case to the August 4 work session to ensure a translator would be present for the discussion. The public hearing for this case was opened and left open for future comments.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the board's commitment to transparency and community involvement, as well as its procedural diligence in handling architectural reviews within the historic district. The next meeting is scheduled for August 4, where further discussions on the deferred case will take place.
