ARB defers Drainesville barn‑house garage addition over missing grading plan and design concerns

Contractor Sean (representing the homeowner) presented plans to add a garage and covered porch to an existing barn building in the Drainesville Tavern Historic Overlay District. Board members praised certain efforts but repeatedly flagged missing documents; multiple members said they did not have the revised grading plan and that staff had not provided updated materials in time for the meeting. "We are only going off the materials we have in hand," one member said, urging the applicant to return with a complete package.
