APPROVAL OF MINUTES – October 9, 2018 and November 5, 2018Mr. Carter motioned to approve the meeting minutes for October 9, 2018 and November 5, 2018, as submitted. Mr. Rosen seconded the motion. The MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY BY VOICE VOTE.

NEW BUSINESS

ARB #2019-089105 and 9107 Center StreetWilliam Lacy/Green Equity Solutions, LLC

Mr. Bokan stated that the applicant is seeking approval for the replacement of 26 second and third story windows which are in a deteriorated condition. The windows include replacements on all elevations of the structure. The applicant is proposing a Jeld-Wen Siteline clad wood window in a 1/1 design which matches the majority of the existing windows on the structure. The windows are proposed to be white in color to provide consistency on all elevations.

DRAFT Architectural Review Board Minutes – November 13, 2018

The applicant has explored the repair of the windows, but the windows have deteriorated pastthe point of repair. They are unrepairable due to rotted, missing, warped wood and cracked glass. They currently will not close properly; they leak and have become a hazard to use. In addition, it appears the two 2nd floor windows on the front elevation are not originals, and have been modified over time (see photos attached to the Historic Landmarks Commission Survey Form). The applicant is proposing 1/1 windows to match the other windows on the structure which are a 1/1 design. Staff would also note that the building is undergoing additional maintenance repairing the roof, gutters, and other trim work that has deteriorated. Due to the deterioration the applicant also intends to repoint the brickwork on the building in the future.

Staff does find the use of the proposed clad wood core windows with a 1/1 design would be in keeping with the guidelines to replicate the look of the existing windows. This type of window is consistent with recent actions of the Board on applications for contributing structures where wood windows have been requested for replacement. Staff recommends the replacement windows be custom fit to the existing openings and the applicant provide new subsill/sill nosing, and Boral flat casing to surround the windows.

The applicant has also requested approval for screens for the upper level windows. The upper level of the building contains four apartments. Staff would note several buildings along Center Street have window screens on the upper levels. Staff recommended approval as submitted.

Applicant, William Lacy, had nothing further to add to the staff report.

ARB Discussion Mr. Carter asked the applicant to verify where the trimming will be placed. Mr. Lacy

stated that there will be a flat casing profile on the sides and the top with an extended square mill sill nosing weather strip on the bottom.

Ms. Settle asked about the proposed color for the window frames. Mr. Bokan stated that they would be white. Mr. Lacy opted for the Board to choose the color or give the applicant the pallet that they liked for the window frames.

Mr. Rosen motioned to approve ARB #2019-08 as modified: Any other proposed color is used except white.

Ms. Settle seconded the motion.

ARB #2019-099119 Church StreetSharita Rouse

Mr. Bokan stated that the applicant is seeking approval to reface the existing projecting sign previously approved by the ARB. The projecting sign is constructed of wood measuring 3’ x 3’ in size (9 sq. ft.). It is hung on a black metal bracket on the front elevation of the structure, to the right of the existing awning. The bracket is mounted 11 feet above the sidewalk, providing 8 feet of clearance below the sign.

The applicant would reface the sign for the new business branding with both the business logo and name. The canopy would also be refaced as well.

The sign vendor will be providing a matte vinyl overlay for the wood sign. The awning sign is currently coroplast adhered to the existing awning with Velcro and the new sign will be the same. Staff recommended approval of the application as submitted.

Applicant, Sharita Rouse, had nothing further to add to the staff report.

ARB Discussion Ms. Settle asked why the phone number is listed on the sign. Ms. Rouse stated that due

to the discrepancy of the street address, many of the customers will call because they cannot find the business.

Mr. Rosen motioned to approved ARB #2019-09 as submitted. Mr. Carter seconded the motion.

STAFF REPORT

ARB Case: 2019-0011 Applicant: Sean Brown Address: 9306 Main Street REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval for the replacement of the previously installed double hung wood windows with the currently installed double hung vinyl windows. PROPERTY INFORMATION Location – The site is located on the west side of Main Street between Portner Avenue and Mathis Avenue. Historical Significance –Set on a poured concrete foundation, this one-and-a-half-story, three-bay Craftsman-style Bungalow dwelling is wood-frame construction clad in vinyl siding. It is covered by cross gable roof sheathed in asphalt shingles. The roof has a small gable dormer with a 12-light fixed window. The front gable has square-butt wood shingles and triple 4-light windows with a wood surround. Fenestration consists of single and triple 6/1 double-hung wood windows, 4-light and 12-light fixed gable windows, a 6-light door, and plain wood window and door surrounds. Known as the “Catalogue Home” the house at 9306 Main Street has been identified as the "The Kilbourne" model mail-order house from the Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalogue of Houses. This property is a contributing property to National Register Manassas Historic District. As an excellent and very intact example of a Craftsman-style Sears house in the City of Manassas, the house at 9306 Main Street is a contributing structure. Surrounding Properties – Located north of the Historic Downtown, this portion of Main Street contains a mixture of contributing and non-contributing structures. Both 9300 (Alten House) and 9308 (Homehurst) Main Street. are contributing structures on the City’s Landmark List. 9301, 9302, 9304 and 9305 Main Street are non-contributing structures.

APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL The owner of the property recently installed double hung vinyl windows without approval of the ARB. The original windows that were removed were double hung wood windows. The applicant is proposing to match the grid pattern of the prior wood windows; however the grids are only interior to the glass. The windows are of the same size as the originals, however it appears some configurations were modified. In total the applicant has replaced 22 windows which match the locations of the prior windows. STAFF ANALYSIS The building is not new construction, so applicable design guidelines are from the Historic District Handbook, pages 55-63. The guidelines indicate that original windows should be repaired and should be replaced when they are missing or beyond repair. With the removal of the existing windows, staff is unable to confirm the condition of them. However, with this contributing structure, the guidelines state the use of inappropriate material or finishes, or changes to muntin/grid designs should be avoided. The applicant’s proposal to replace existing double hung wood windows with double hung vinyl windows is not in keeping with the Historic District Handbook and Supplemental Guidelines for Windows as, based on earlier photographs, the new windows do change the appearance of Craftsman home, particularly the front elevation. In addition, the windows in the gable ends that face Main Street (one 12-light window and triple 4-light windows), have been replaced by horizontally oriented 6/6 double hung windows. While staff cannot confirm, it appears this was done with 3 other windows on the top level of each of the side elevations and the rear elevation. These replacements are clearly not consistent with the historic nature of the home. The building is not new construction, so applicable design guidelines are from the Historic District Handbook, pages 55-63 and the supplemental Historic District Window Guidelines (attached). The guidelines indicate that original windows should be repaired and should be replaced when they are missing or beyond repair. With the removal of the existing windows, staff is unable to confirm the nature and condition of the previous windows. From earlier photographs and historic research of the Craftsman style of architecture the previous windows appear original to the house and per the owner, were of wood construction. The Manassas Historic Overlay District Design Guidelines are very clear in that the use of inappropriate material or finishes, or changes to muntin/grid designs should be avoided. The supplemental guideline states that newly proposed windows must match the dimension, profile, and appearance of the original windows and substitute materials are allowed under these conditions. As the original windows are not available to be repaired as preferred in the guidelines the Board must look at the replacements and whether or not they are appropriate under the guidelines as to dimension, profile and appearance. Staff does not feel that the replacements meet the Manassas Historic Overlay District Design Guidelines and ideally, Staff would recommend that replacement windows be of wood and replicate the original windows as is available from many specialty millwork and window manufactures. However, the Board can take into consideration the circumstance of specific structures on a case by case basis. The Board has previously approved vinyl windows that mimic the original appearance including interior and exterior grills with the addition of interior grid/spacers that have the same dimensions and profiles as historic windows. As noted in the property survey the structure has seen modifications to materials with the installation of vinyl siding. Options for the Board to consider include focusing on the front elevation of the structure with windows that more accurately reflect the nature of this 1925 Craftsman style home. For the side and rear elevations which have less visibility, focus less on the materials and more on the design of the windows. Often interior and exterior muntins can be added easily if the dimensions and profiles are acceptable on the less visible elevations of the structure. On the front elevation the windows under the gable are not appropriate and need to be replaced. The first floor elevation windows maybe able to be modified to have a more appropriate appearance. 9

Staff recommends denial of the application as presented and recommends that the applicant be requested to return to the Board with a proposal to replace the gable windows, particularly the on the front elevation, and modify the double-hung windows to more accurately match the dimension, profile and appearance of the original windows as per the supplemental guidelines for windows. As per Section 130-410 the applicant may appeal a denial within 30 days of the Board’s decision. Review Criteria Pursuant to Section 130-406 (a), the ARB shall consider the following criteria in determining whether or not to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness for construction or alterations:

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends DENIAL of the proposed vinyl windows with interior grills only, as well as the design change to the windows in the gable ends, as the proposed material and design of the windows are inappropriate for this contributing Craftsman-style Bungalow structure.

CRITERIA APPLICATION Activity Proposed:

Installation of new windows

(1) Whether the material, texture, color, height, scale, mass, and placement of the proposed addition, modification, or construction are visually and architecturally compatible with the site and the HOD.

(2) The harmony of the proposed change in terms of overall proportion and the size and placement of elements such as entrances, windows, awnings, exterior stairs, and signs.

The proposed window replacements do not change the proportion, placement, or size of the element.

(3) The effect of the proposed change on the historic district neighborhood, setting, or streetscape.

The change in the design and materials of the windows would have an adverse impact on the historical district neighborhood.

(4) Whether the proposed method of construction, renovation, or restoration would have an adverse impact on the historic or architectural character of the structure or site, or on adjacent buildings or structures.

The change in the design and materials of the windows would have an adverse impact on the historical or architectural character of the building.

The house at 9306 Main Street, constructed in 1925, is illustrative of residential housing patterns in Manassas in the first quarter of the twentieth century. At this time, a number of Craftsman-style bungalows were constructed in t.be newly­developing sections of Manassas. Typical of Craftsman-style bungalows are its one-and-a-half story form wit.b a low-pitched overhanging roof, prominent gabled dormers clad in wood shingles, and front porch with battered posts. The house at 9306 Main Street has been identified as the "The Kilbourne" model mail-order house from the Sears, Roebuck and Company Catalogue of Houses. The model was a five-room plan and sold for $2,700 in 1925. This property is a contributing property to National Register Manassas Historic District. As an excellent and very intact example of a Craftsman-style Sears bouse in the City of Manassas, the house at 9306 Main Street is Ranked Notable. An intensive-level interior survey and additional research is recommended.

STAFF REPORT ARB Case: 2014-46 – Addendum #2 Applicant: Messenger Place Development LLC Address: 9009 Church Street REQUEST The architectural design of the new Messenger Place building and the majority of the materials were previously approved by the ARB in August of 2014. The applicant returned to the ARB in January 2016 for approval of an addendum to the application for design details which included the balcony railings, exterior lighting fixtures, awnings, doors and site fencing The applicant is returning to the ARB with a second addendum to seek approvals of the awnings currently installed on the structure, and were originally presented to the ARB in August 2014. PROPERTY INFORMATION Location – 9009 Church Street is a through lot located on the block bounded by Church, East, Center and Zebedee Streets. The lot has frontage on both Church and Center Streets. Historical Significance – The current building on the site is new construction and it is nearing completion. Surrounding Properties – The project is located at the eastern edge of the downtown subarea of the historic district as the commercial buildings begin transitioning to residential neighborhoods. The architecture surrounding the property offers great variety in style and use, being a mix of largely two and three story commercial and residential buildings. While many of the buildings are contributing structures to the historic district, some have been greatly altered over the years. Directly to the east of 9009 Church Street is the Old Baptist Church, a contributing and historic building constructed c. 1930. Several commercial properties dating from the 1900s adjoin the property on the west. These existing structures will likely see redevelopment in the future. APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL The applicant is seeking approval for the “Regal Red” metal awnings. These awnings were originally approved by the ARB in August 2014 when the project received its original approval. The applicant returned to the ARB in January 2016 to request approval of green and cream awnings, which were two different styles. The request to the Board is to go back to the originally approved “Regal Red” metal awnings.

STAFF ANALYSIS The applicable guidelines for new construction are found throughout the City of Manassas Historic District Infill Development Guidelines and the Manassas Historic District Handbook. The guidelines state that new construction should complement and respect the character of the existing historic buildings. However, new buildings should not be a reproduction or copy of historic buildings which confuse the public as to what is historically significant and what is not.

The infill design guidelines, pages 49-50, state that the inclusion of awnings can enhance the building and street-level design. Awnings should be carefully placed and sized to not obscure elements and the colors should be coordinated as part of the overall color scheme. Contemporary styles and materials may be appropriate for mixed-use buildings. The applicant has selected a contemporary style metal awning in “Regal Red”. The horizontal awnings are on the first floor windows and entrances. The use of the contemporary style and materials of the awnings distinguishes the building as new construction. The scale and placement are consistent with awnings found throughout the historic district. Review Criteria Pursuant to Section 130-406 (a), prior to approval of any certificate of appropriateness, the ARB shall determine if the following conditions have been adequately addressed:

CRITERIA APPLICATION Activity Proposed:

Installation of awnings

(1) Whether the material, texture, color, height, scale, mass, and placement of the proposed addition, modification, or construction are visually and architecturally compatible with the site and the HOD.

The awning material and design are compatible with the site, which is a non-contributing structure.

(2) The harmony of the proposed change in terms of overall proportion and the size and placement of elements such as entrances, windows, awnings, exterior stairs, and signs.

The proposed awning size and placements are in harmony with the structure.

(3) The effect of the proposed change on the historic district neighborhood, setting, or streetscape.

The proposed awning size and placements are in harmony with the historic district and surrounding structures.

(4) Whether the proposed method of construction, renovation, or restoration would have an adverse impact on the historic or architectural character of the structure or site, or on adjacent buildings or structures.

The proposed awnings would not have an adverse impact on the historical or architectural character of the building.

(5) The Secretary of the Interior Standards for Historic Preservation, as may be relevant.
