Highlights and formal actions taken by the BAR (motions and votes recorded at the meeting):

• 114 West Richardson Street — chimney and COA renewal (house and detached garage): The board approved adding a chimney to the left elevation of the house (a field change) and accepted the previously approved detached-garage plan as submitted. For the garage COA renewal, the BAR extended the approval on condition that the garage doors be carriage-style rather than the flat-panel style shown; the applicant said the garage slab is already poured. The motion to extend the COA with the carriage-door condition passed unanimously.

• 114 West Fifth South Street — enclosure: The board approved a wall bump-out/enclosure project that remains within the home’s existing footprint; the applicant said the project is roughly a 5-foot outward bump under the current roofline and that structural engineering has been used to confirm feasibility. Motion passed unanimously.

• 206 South Gum Street — full siding replacement: The applicant was not present; staff reported the existing siding is mixed material and that the contractor proposed a smooth-finish Hardie product with an 8.25-inch reveal and deep-ocean-blue color with white trim. The BAR approved the submission as presented with the smooth siding and no beaded edge.

• Standing-seam reroofs — 333 Old Pasta (address recorded in packet), 305 Buford Street: The board approved two separate standing-seam metal re-roof requests. For one application the BAR clarified preferred dimensions: approximately a 16-inch panel width seam-to-seam and a 1-inch seam height, and said 26-gauge panels are acceptable though 24-gauge would also be tolerated. The approvals were unanimous.

Votes at a glance (recorded by name when available): for each item above, the motion passed with affirmative votes by the BAR members present (David Price, Tim Wanamaker, Rachel, Jane, Nancy Jean). Where staff noted field changes or prior permits (for example, a poured slab at the garage), the board required applicant compliance with the specified conditions prior to issuing final permits.

The BAR chair closed the meeting after the agenda items were handled; no further business was brought forward.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","BAR Tuesday April 1, 2025 @6PM","oneSentenceSummary","At its April 1 meeting the Summerville BAR approved chimney work, COA renewals, siding replacement, and several standing-seam roof permits; the panel imposed a carriage-style-door condition on one garage renewal and specified seam/gauge preferences for standing-seam roofs.","taxTitle","Summerville, Dorchester County, South Carolina","taxId",4554,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6053247,"Owners present large rear addition plan for historic 627 West Richardson; BAR asks for refined column and baluster details",1793,6817000,8610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3376077-c5a06f874256ee73812fd73b5e8d97e2&start=6817&end=8610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3376077-c5a06f874256ee73812fd73b5e8d97e2/thumbnail_6817000.jpg","/articles/6053247/Summerville/Dorchester-County/South-Carolina/Owners-present-large-rear-addition-plan-for-historic-627-West-Richardson-BAR-asks-for-refined-column-and-baluster-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6053247-4c5e9e5737590a83982ad7f30fe2c056/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201582&Signature=EzgTZqycFmNGvtYFZn-~0Q1sch8KIezfopPvkKuY-If8SfMbrWrUU28k2W9b1OamnusPYw2QSGcDytbbUZDVtzRlX7AtNLoZ-vIi1cmfh4cCiGOaLI2bjE9i2ow7ajEK7dKxsxJw9X~MoE3R0AUw72LpIAYQv-KmceiRctzBLm-4-cTiS1ROoeEqiolxxdFtblLcc46vSsC9EupJE6tyFau1gBRDKEQBGQNCXdjSTHyStnOq-E4R6PlpOh4lUQjUJ2RgV3MvPQPnc~rDTjotZFDsP1wV-vdfP~WMrPL7r-jx~C26lD95iykK-P9abNIl1BhN42Iunzx-ufqt~RDzcg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Owners of 627 West Richardson presented a proposed rear addition and landscape-facing room to the Town of Summerville Board of Architectural Review on April 1, describing the house’s documented historic features and saying the addition is intended to complement — not copy — the main structure.

The applicants reviewed the home’s documented history and shared a newly discovered historic photograph showing original decorative elements. They described prior work on the property, including a brick screen wall, replacement of missing corbels, a carriage house added in 2021, and other restorations. The owners said they want a separate, subordinate structure at the rear to add a usable family room overlooking the garden and to resolve chronic drainage issues behind the house.

Board members commended the owners for extensive preservation work and generally supported the conceptual addition but asked for some refinement to the proposed porch detailing. Members said the proposed square balusters and plain square columns on the new addition are overly simple for a house of this character and suggested more graceful details — for example, chamfered square columns, simple capitals, or other modest profiles that echo the main house without copying it. One member recommended the owners’ architect return with a slightly more developed column and baluster option.

The board and staff discussed schedule and next steps. The BAR staff member said an updated elevation with the revised column/baluster detail may be submitted for the May agenda; the staff indicated an updated submittal would be needed by April 21 to make the May packet. The board did not take a final vote on the addition at the April 1 meeting; members said the other aspects of the plan generally look appropriate subject to the refinement of porch details.

During the presentation the owners described interior constraints — repeating 14-by-14 rooms and a lack of an informal family space — and said the addition would create a larger family area and address a cluster of roof drainage problems at the rear of the house. The applicants also said their garden restoration includes extensive plantings and that the addition’s windows are intended to provide views of the garden.

Next steps: the BAR requested the applicant submit a revised column and baluster drawing by April 21 for possible placement on the May agenda; staff said the final building permit will be contingent on approval of those details.","Property owners of the historically significant 627 West Richardson presented a rear addition and garden-facing room; the BAR praised the preservation work but asked for refined porch column and baluster details and asked for updated elevations for the next meeting.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6053251,"Summerville BAR grants conditional approval for 100 East Carolina Ave. resubmittal",938,4527000,5465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3376077-c5a06f874256ee73812fd73b5e8d97e2&start=4527&end=5465","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3376077-c5a06f874256ee73812fd73b5e8d97e2/thumbnail_4527000.jpg","/articles/6053251/Summerville/Dorchester-County/South-Carolina/Summerville-BAR-grants-conditional-approval-for-100-East-Carolina-Ave-resubmittal","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6053251-e36854dd679b391d39a8750d574e9e56/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201582&Signature=IeNbQmbaFaCPoE3OZYch0bErNBQcISy4K7IxZpcCEHDZO2k9RJprdaGa~ao1NurI8hTf9hbRRXayPNUtJMha8M3KEFTR22fruJHXI-WsAH1EOwRMmqD4~bUMmGmQbejimI2pjJhu6J7x7CME2tW4RHqnQw0puOp~jpHrNzcF0MyK8BqDR5YZCErpf8t8TvObXUbiOSXTZfuEQhwYhSKa88YDvDQ6Y9Rij3qL879xD2rswSTDLfqOUPzGilnYhBV3K60~gwQJ9oP~XihfvpUqSu9ByY4I2eKnMDlQiY3tcQLXI9K7p77WXouztmwMxT89xpoP-4hpnDyr5~gIciDbeQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Summerville Board of Architectural Review on April 1 approved a resubmitted plan for 100 East Carolina Avenue with conditions for staff review and minor revisions.

The BAR voted to ‘‘approve as submitted with the following notations’’ and asked staff and the applicant, identified in the meeting as Remi, to confirm specific details before issuing a final sign-off. David Price, chairman of the BAR, made the motion; a board member seconded it and the vote was recorded in favor.

The board said the applicant had addressed prior BAR feedback by moving the HVAC unit to the left elevation, raising the finished floor height and enlarging the foundation. At the meeting staff reported the finished floor elevation was increased to 2½ feet above grade from the previously stated 8 inches; the applicant also proposed a stucco foundation, added band boards on side and rear elevations and submitted simulated divided-light window details.

Board members nevertheless pressed the applicant to refine proportions and trim so the new elements read as a coordinated whole. Specific items the BAR directed staff to verify before final approval included: a traditional window sill/nosing detail rather than a flat 6-inch band; a drip cap on the sideband and a stronger cap detail tying the band to the porch and brick nosing; adjustments to the bathroom window and the spacing of the adjacent windows so that shutters can be accommodated and the grid proportions match other windows; and that all windows have the standard cap detail.

Chairman David Price summarized the board’s instruction: \"So that Remi and staff can kinda make sure that I'll check those things very closely. So ... we approve as submitted with the following notations.\" Board members discussed proportions and historical window/porch detailing during deliberations, and several said the resubmittal was a significant improvement overall.

The board indicated those listed refinements may be approved at the staff level once the applicant provides the clarified details, avoiding a formal return to the BAR for re-review if staff determines the revisions meet the board’s parameters.

Votes and next steps: the motion passed unanimously. Staff will confirm the revised window sill detail, the bathroom window cap and spacing, the drip cap and the alignment of the band with the brick nosing; staff will then clear the project if the conditions are met.","The Board of Architectural Review approved updated plans for a house at 100 East Carolina Avenue with staff-level conditions to refine porch, window and trim details before final sign-off.","actionData","errors"]
