A Winchester commissioner asked planning staff to investigate whether rooftop screening required under a prior approval for the armory building purchased by Shenandoah University has been installed as originally required.
The commissioner said the rooftop screening "was supposed to kind of do a little dimensional setback" and that the shielding "goes straight across" rather than following the approved modification. "It has never been done," the commissioner said.
Planning staff said they would look into the matter and provide an answer at the next meeting. "I don't have an answer for you, but I'll look into it, clearly," staff said.
The discussion did not include a formal motion or vote; the request was recorded as a direction to staff to investigate compliance with previously approved design conditions for the armory property.
Clarifying details - Property: armory building purchased by Shenandoah University; the commissioner said required parapet setback/modification had not been completed as approved. - Action requested: staff to research prior approval vs. current rooftop screening and report back at the next meeting.
No additional timeline or enforcement action was specified in the discussion recorded in the transcript.
