PROPOSAL:

The applicant proposes the following:

• Replace the existing flagstone front (north) walkway and landing with a new flagstone on

concrete walkway and landing in the same approximate footprint.

• Construct a 1161 sf pea gravel driveway with cobblestone edging at the rear/right (southwest) of

the property. The driveway will utilize an existing curb cut and apron.

• Construct an 876 sf flagstone on concrete patio at the rear (south) of the property.

• Construct a 255 sf gravel patio with steel edging at the rear (south) of the property.

• Install a walkway of 2’ x 3’ flagstone pavers at the right (west) side of the property, connecting

the proposed driveway to the proposed patio.

• Install a 6’ high wooden privacy fence at the rear (south) and rear/left (southeast) corner of the

property. This property is located on a corner lot, and the proposed privacy fence at the rear will

transition to 4’ high as it nears Cedar Parkway at the right (west) side of the property.

• Install a 3’-6” high wooden picket fence at the left (east) side of the property.

APPLICABLE GUIDELINES:

IV. The Expedited Staff Report format may be used on the following type of cases:

10. Construction of fences that are compatible with historic site or district in terms of material,

height, location, and design. Requests for fences higher than 48" to be located in the front yard of

a property will not be reviewed using an Expedited Staff Report.

11. Construction or replacement of walkways, parking areas, patios, driveways or other paved areas

that are not readily visible from a public right-of-way and/or are compatible in material, location,

and design with the visual character of the historic site or district.

Montgomery County Code; Chapter 24A-8

(b) The commission shall instruct the director to issue a permit, or issue a permit subject to such

conditions as are found to be necessary to insure conformity with the purposes and requirements

of this chapter, if it finds that:

(1) The proposal will not substantially alter the exterior features of an historic site or historic

resource within an historic district; or

(2) The proposal is compatible in character and nature with the historical, archeological,

architectural or cultural features of the historic site or the historic district in which an

historic resource is located and would not be detrimental thereto or to the achievement of

the purposes of this chapter; or

(3) The proposal would enhance or aid in the protection, preservation and public or private

utilization of the historic site or historic resource located within an historic district in a

manner compatible with the historical, archeological, architectural or cultural value of the

historic site or historic district in which an historic resource is located; or

(4) The proposal is necessary in order that unsafe conditions or health hazards be remedied; or

(5) The proposal is necessary in order that the owner of the subject property not be deprived of

reasonable use of the property or suffer undue hardship; or

(6) In balancing the interests of the public in preserving the historic site or historic resource

located within an historic district, with the interests of the public from the use and benefit

I.A

of the alternative proposal, the general public welfare is better served by granting the

permit.

(c) It is not the intent of this chapter to limit new construction, alteration or repairs to any 1 period or

architectural style.

(d) In the case of an application for work on an historic resource located within an historic district,

the commission shall be lenient in its judgment of plans for structures of little historical or design

significance or for plans involving new construction, unless such plans would seriously impair the

historic or architectural value of surrounding historic resources or would impair the character of

the historic district. (Ord. No. 9-4, § 1; Ord. No. 11-59.)

Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation

The Secretary of the Interior defines rehabilitation as “the act or process of making possible a compatible

use for a property through repair, alterations, and additions while preserving those portions or features,

which convey its historical, cultural, or architectural values.” The Standards are as follows:

2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic

materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends that the Commission approve the HAWP application under the Criteria for Issuance in

Chapter 24A-8(b), (1), (2) & (d) having found that the proposal is consistent with the Chevy Chase

Village Historic District Guidelines, and therefore will not substantially alter the exterior features of the

historic resource and is compatible in character with the district and the purposes of Chapter 24A;

and with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation #2;

and with the general condition that the applicant shall present the 3 permit sets of drawings, if

applicable to Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) staff for review and stamping prior to

submission for the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS) building permits;

and with the general condition that final project design details, not specifically delineated by the

Commission, shall be approved by HPC staff or brought back to the Commission as a revised HAWP

application at staff’s discretion;

and with the general condition that the applicant shall notify the Historic Preservation Staff if they

propose to make any alterations to the approved plans.

Once the work is completed the applicant will contact the staff person assigned to this application at 301-

563-3400 or [email protected] to schedule a follow-up site visit.
