The bracket would be mounted to the west side of the entry feature, providing 8 feet of clearance between the sign and sidewalk below. Staff recommended approval of the application as submitted. ARB Discussion

• Chairman Rush stated that the sign appears to be located in the middle of the building. Ms. Via-Gossman verified that the sign will be located at the edge of the building – facing Grant Avenue.

Ms. Brent motioned to approve ARB #2019-02 as submitted, with the clarification that the sign be placed on the west side of the building. Ms. Alten seconded the motion. Roll Call

The MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ARB #2019-04 9431 and 9451 West Street City of Manassas Ms. Via-Gossman stated that the City of Manassas is seeking approval for the installation of an accessory structure to cover bike racks located on the Train Station platform. The bike racks are located to the immediate east of the structure, between the Train Station and Battle Street. The proposed structure would be 9’11” tall and 9’x23’9” in size. The structure would be constructed/framed in metal and painted black. The design of the structure includes a center support column which mimics the two end support columns. The roof would include transparent panels between black support beams. Virginia Railway Express recommends the installation of an open concept and translucent shelter structure to address safety concerns. The roof design would be a gable/pitched roof. The request is only for the accessory structure, there are no proposed changes to the train station. While the bike racks do not require ARB approval, staff would note the proposed rack would likely be “U” shaped, consistent with those installed at the Pavilion and in front of City Hall. Staff recommended approval of the application as submitted. Applicant, Chloe Delhomme, had nothing further to add to the staff report. ARB Discussion

• Ms. Alten asked if there would be signage on the bike rack. Ms. Delhommne stated that there will not be a separate sign. Ms. Via-Gossman stated that the u-racks would

be similar to the one at City Hall, which has the Manassas logo. • Chairman Rush inquired of the number of bikes that could be held by one rack. Ms.

Delhomme stated that the u-rack would hold two bikes. There will be four u-racks at the shelter for a total of 16 bikes.

Ms. Alten motioned to approve ARB #2019-04 as submitted. Chairman Rush seconded the motion. Roll Call

The MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ARB #2019-05 9401 East Street NHM Inc./John Reid Ms. Via-Gossman stated that the applicant is seeking approval of both a projecting sign and freestanding sign. The proposed projecting sign would be made of a foam material on both sides, with a ¾” plywood backer. The color palette utilizes the established logo and branding of the business. The foam material would be reverse routed for the “C” and “21”, which would be painted “Relentless Gold” with an “Obsessed Gray” background. The sign is 20” in diameter (2.18 sq. ft.) and will be placed on an existing metal bracket. The proposed freestanding sign would be made of a Sintra material. The color palette utilizes the logo and branding of the business, with the same color scheme and logo as the projecting sign. (The applicant provided material and color samples at the meeting.) In addition, the sign would include the company name “Century 21”, “Redwood Realty” and “C21Redwood.com” text. The sign is approximately 48” x 36” (12 sq. ft.) in size and includes a 10” skirt along the bottom, providing a monument style design. The top of the sign would be approximately 4 feet above grade, requiring a minimum setback of approximately 2 feet from the East Street right-of-way (back of sidewalk). Staff recommended approval of the application as submitted. Applicant, John Reid, had nothing further to add to the staff report. ARB Discussion None Ms. Brent motioned to approve ARB #2019-05 as submitted. Chairman Rush seconded the motion.

Roll Call

The MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. ARB #2019-06 9514 Main Street Tesla Energy Ops, Inc./Beth Vallandingham Ms. Via-Gossman stated that the applicant is seeking approval for the installation of solar panels on both the existing house and existing detached garage. The proposed solar panels would be flush mounted to the existing asphalt shingle roof. They would be placed on the southern exposure to ensure that the panels will be able to function with adequate sunlight. The top of the panels would provide about a 6” reveal above the existing roof surface. Ms. Via-Gossman stated that current guidelines state that solar collectors should be placed on non-character defining roofs or roofs of non-historic adjacent structures. However, the design guidelines were written in 1990 and solar technology has changed significantly over the last 25+ years. Therefore, staff’s analysis relies more heavily on more recent guidelines from the Secretary of the Interior (SOI) and industry standards:

• SOI Two: The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of the historic material or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

• SOI Nine: New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. New work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity pf the property and its environment.

Staff recommended approval of the application as submitted. Applicant, Beth Vallandingham, had nothing further to add to the staff report. ARB Discussion

• Ms. Alten stated that a previous case for solar panels located on the main portion of the house was denied by the ARB and could pose an issue. Ms. Via-Gossman stated that solar panels should be considered by the ARB for future reference. The Board agreed.

Chairman Rush motioned to approve ARB #2019-06 as submitted. Ms. Brent seconded the motion.

The MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. OTHER BUSINESS FY2018 Draft Annual Report Ms. Via-Gossman informed the Board that the annual report will be going before the City Council in October or November. All updates/changes should be submitted to staff as soon as possible. The final report will be presented at the next regular meeting for signatures. Old Town Updates Ms. Via-Gossman spoke on concerns that the Board presented at last month’s meeting regarding the newly installed bathrooms on the Liberia House property. She stated that she was so focused on getting the appropriate brick for the restrooms, as well as getting the building up and running for the Manassas History Weekend, that she overlooked other elements of the originally approved application. She stated that, moving forward, the City will continue to work in harmony with the ARB. Ms. Alten asked if the parking lot would be paved. Ms. Via-Gossman stated that at this time, the parking lot is to remain gravel because there is no money for pavement, and there is still some work to be done to the site. Ms. Alten recommended that Centerfuse be moved to another location to allow retail use in that building. Ms. Via-Gossman stated that she would pass the idea on to Economic Development. Ms. Via-Gossman informed the Board that there will be a text amendment to the zoning ordinance which would increase the Architectural Review Board to potentially seven members. (A draft document was handed out at the meeting.) ADJOURNMENT Chairman Rush moved to adjourn the meeting. The MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. The meeting ended at 8:15 p.m. __________________________________ ___________________ William Rush, Chairman Date

STAFF REPORT ARB Case: #2019-07 Applicant: Kathy and Jeff Saylors Address: 9112 Main Street REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval for the construction of a one-story porch along the front elevation of the structure. A small bathroom infill addition is proposed on the rear elevation of the structure on the second floor. PROPERTY INFORMATION Location – Northwest side of Main Street, approximately 650 feet west of the intersection of Sudley Road. Historical Significance – Set on an uncoursed stone foundation, the two-story colonial revival-style structure was constructed circa 1910. It is wood frame construction clad in vinyl siding. It is covered by a hipped roof sheathed in standing-seam metal. A hipped wood framed ell is located to the northwest of the main block. A small one-story one-bay roof portico features Tuscan columns. A one-story addition is located in the southwest elevation. Known as the Conner House, the home is ranked as a contributing structure to both the local and National Register historic districts and is listed on the City’s Landmark List. Surrounding Properties – 9112 Main Street is located in the northern residential end of Main Street. This portion of Main Street contains a mixture of contributing and non-contributing homes. However, within the contributing homes, several of on the City’s Landmark List, including 9115-Johnson Zimmerman House, 9114-Polen-Guy House, 9108-E.R. Conner House, and 9104-W.N. Lipscomb House. APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL The project includes two components. First is the replacement of the existing 1-bay portico on the front elevation with a 3-bay covered porch. The porch would be 8 feet in depth and 40 feet in length. It includes round columns and a standing-seam metal roof to match this existing structure. Due to the low floor, the porch floor would not be a raised wood platform, but instead a low patio covered in stone pavers - matching the existing entry. The proposed second-story rear addition would be installed over a single-story rear addition, representing an infill within the structure’s existing footprint. The location on the rear also limits the visibility of the addition. It would have a flat roof and include three new windows. It would be clad in vertical siding of a design consistent with the existing house.

The proposed materials for the addition and porch include smooth Hardie plank siding and a standing seam metal roof to match the original stone flooring, 2/2 fiberglass composite windows with simulated divided light (including both interior and exterior grills, as well as spacer bar). Gutters are proposed to match existing gutters. STAFF ANALYSIS The applicable design guidelines for additions are found on pages 111-112 of the City of Manassas Historic District Handbook. The guidelines state that the size of an addition should be limited so that it does not visually overpower the existing building. Additions should be located on side or rear elevations that are not visible from the street. New design should be compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the building and structure. Wherever possible, new additions should be differentiated from the existing building and should be done in such a manner that were it to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the building would be unimpaired. Front Porch While the alteration to the front elevation of a historic structure is often not in keeping with the design guidelines, the proposed porch design draws from historic photos of the home which show a 5-bay porch that was once located on the front elevation of the structure. The proposed porch is of a smaller mass with a reduced width. The scale is appropriate as to not overwhelm the front elevation. While the proposed porch is sensitive to this original design, it is not a replica. The original porch was a larger design/mass and wrapped the edges of the structure. The original design also had a raised wood platform. This porch functions more as a large portico or covered patio. The porch does maintain a symmetrical design and is balanced on the front elevation that is compatible with the structure. The materials are compatible to the home and the historic district. Bathroom Addition As recommended by the design guidelines, the proposed addition is located on the rear elevation, so it is not visible from the street. The new design is of an appropriate scale, as it provides an infill to the structure and does not result in an expansion of the footprint, nor does it increase the height of the structure. Windows provide fenestration to connect the addition to the existing structure. It would be clad in vertical siding of a design, consistent with the existing house. However, the addition is differentiated through the use of a flat roof, which also preserves the integrity of the existing roof lines. The additional is uses Hardie plank siding which differs from the structures existing non-original aluminum siding. While the use of a composite window on a historic structure is typically not supported for replacement windows, they are appropriate for additions. With the location of the addition to the rear of the structure, the windows will not be visible from the street. The use of the grills and spacer bar provide for a compatible historic design.

City of Manassas Architectural Review Board Annual Report Page 2

Introduction

The City of Manassas Architectural Review Board has established procedures to review and process applications for Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to Section 130-405 of the Code of Manassas and suggest regulations and boundary lines adjustment of existing and proposed Historic Overlay Districts in accordance with Section 130-402 of the Code of Manassas. This report details the actions reviewed by the Architectural Review Board in FY18 reporting period (July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018) and outlines some actions to be undertaken in FY19.

Responsibilities

The Architectural Review Board offers advice to property owners and tenants on questions of historical preservation and restoration. The Board shall also cooperate with and enlist assistance from the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and the City Council to promote and preserve the historic structures within the overlay districts. The duties and responsibilities of the Architectural Review Board include:

• Issue or deny Certificate of Appropriateness for construction, reconstruction, substantial exterior alteration, and demolition or relocation within the Historic Overlay District.

• Assist and advise the City Council, the Planning Commission, other City departments and agencies, property owners and individuals in matters involving historic resources.

• Review and propose additional areas or structures to be included in or removed from an HOD or designated as a Historic Landmark.

• From time to time conduct, or cause to be conducted, a survey of historic resources. • Upon request of the City Council, Planning Commission, or interested citizens, conduct

studies deemed necessary to consider additional historic overlay districts, and means of preservation and utilization of historic assets in the City.

• Develop, adopt, and from time to time modify design guidelines for the City’s historic overlay districts, to be considered by the ARB in granting or denying Certificates of Appropriateness.

• Cooperate with, and enlist assistance from, the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and other interested parties, both public and private, in its effort to preserve, restore, and conserve historic sites, landmarks, buildings, and structures within the City.

Activities The Architectural Review Board's focus in FY18 was consistency with its decisions on all applications in accordance with the Historic District Design Guidelines and to preserve and

City of Manassas Architectural Review Board Annual Report Page 3

protect the community’s history and historic structures. During the period of this report, the Board held twelve (12) regular meetings and two (2) worksessions. The case activity is as follows: In total, 35 applications were received in FY18 and 3 applications were carried over from FY17.

• 33 cases came before the Board for action o 12 were approved as submitted o 1 case was partially approved as submitted o 20 were approved with modifications

• 2 cases were withdrawn • 3 cases carried over to FY19

In the 20 cases that were approved with modifications, the Board diligently worked to meet the needs of the applicants under the Historic District Design Guidelines. While the majority of the applications that came before the Board continue to be for signs and minor structure modifications, the Board did review and approve several larger projects, including the proposed conversions of two structures to accommodate future restaurant spaces, the conversion of a historic church/meeting space into offices, and three single family home expansions. As directed by the City Council’s Land Use Committee in FY17, the Board prepared and submitted a report evaluating the creation of an additional historic district at Annaburg Manor (9201 Maple Street). In the report submitted to City Council, the Board recommended the creation of a Historic Overlay District. Finally, City Council may recall the properties located at 9512 and 9514 Liberty Street which was appealed to Council in 2016 after the Board denied a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of these structures. With the change in ownership of these properties, the Board was able to approve applications for the renovation of these structures, as well as neighboring 9510 Liberty Street, which also came before the Board in FY18.

A Look Ahead In conclusion, the Board extends its appreciation to the Council for its continued support in the preservation of the City’s historic districts and looks forward to a successful year in FY19. The Board remains committed to exercising its jurisdiction on all matters related to application of the guidelines in the Historic District. Through our mutual efforts, a distinctive appearance is sustained in the three historic districts which instills a personal pride within our residents and has a positive impact on tourism and commercial interest.
