Webster Groves ARB approves several residential projects, tables two for revision; reviews BJC/KVC campus plan and church renovation

The Webster Groves Architecture Review Board (ARB) reviewed and acted on a string of residential permit applications and heard two informational presentations at its meeting, taking approvals for several smaller projects while tabling more complex work pending clearer drawings and code confirmations.

The board approved preapproval for a detached garage at 830 Providence Avenue and granted final approvals with conditions for a detached garage public hearing at 35 Glen Road and a front‑porch renovation at 337 Dobbin (Dobbin/Daven) Road. The board also approved a rear‑deck at 121 Summit Avenue with a condition to close the underside of the deck. Two applications were continued for revision and resubmittal: a partial second‑floor/roof project at 435 North Rock Hill Road and a window‑replacement submittal at 2 Renwood Court. The board reviewed two informational projects: a new BJC/KVC campus building at 330 Gore and a renovation of the chapel and streetscape at 45 Lockwood, providing detailed material and massing feedback.
