Washington’s Architectural Review Board (ARB), established by the Town Council last August, held its first public meeting on November 21.
Board members Carol Miller, Evelyn Willis, and Jim Thomasson met to review plans submitted by the Krebser and Martin Partnership for their proposed office building to be built in Washington.
Attorney Frank Reynolds sat in an advisory capacity.
The proposed building will be located next to the Rappahannock Medical Center. The partnership was granted a special use permit to build the structure during a Town Council meeting held on November 13.
The ARB was established as a part of the historic district ordinance passed by Town Council on August 14. The ordinance was passed to protect the style and historic character ofWashington.
The ARB reviews plans for all new buildings. The Board will also review changes to existing structures for which a building permit is required.
Exterior style, color, building textures and materials are compared by the ARB with buildings which were built in the towrn during two time periods.
The ARB is in the process of establishing guidelines for reviewing such buildings. Mrs. Willis said that she contacted Constance K. Chamberlin, executive director of the Waterford Foundation, about helping the ARB establish such guidelines. She said that she also spoke with A Brian Mitchell, director of the Virginia Division of Historic Landmarks in Richmond.
Mr. Mitchell, she said, “will help us review anything until we get established.”
