Staff: draft architectural survey submitted to state; town to seek more funds to finish district survey
Summary
Town staff told the BAR that consultants submitted draft updates to the architectural survey to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources; the town under-budgeted the work and will request additional funding to complete the full historic-district inventory.
Town staff updated the Board of Architectural Review on the status of the townwide architectural‑survey update. Consultants have submitted draft survey materials to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources for review; the draft includes updated maps and graphics.
Staff said the project will likely be complete later this year if DHR returns comments on schedule, but acknowledged the town under‑budgeted the work and will need to request additional funding to finish the entire historic district. Staff also noted that some parcel‑boundary anomalies (including properties split by the district line) will be addressed as part of an upcoming zoning‑ordinance update and mapping corrections.
Ending: Staff will notify the board when DHR returns comments and will coordinate any required ordinance or boundary changes as part of the zoning‑ordinance update.
