Board approves full-frame window replacement at 1324 Princess St.
Summary
The Architectural Review Board approved a full-frame window replacement at 1324 Princess St., after the applicant confirmed the work is not an insert replacement and the board attached a condition that the replacement be full-frame consistent with staff guidance.
The Alexandria Architectural Review Board on a routine vote approved an application to replace windows at 1324 Princess Street provided the work is a full-frame replacement rather than insert units.
The applicantrepresentative, Johan Plenter, identified himself as a district sales manager for The Home Depot and told the board, "This is not going to be an insert replacement. This is a full frame window replacement that we have proposed and contracted for with the applicant." Board members noted that the cityno longer permits insert windows under current policy, prompting the requirement that the project be a full-frame replacement to align with staff guidance.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the product and whether the motion encompassed staff recommendations; the motioner confirmed staff recommendations were incorporated. A board member moved to approve the application "with the condition that it is a full replacement window and not an insert" and the board voted to adopt that motion.
The decision was processed from the consent calendar after a member requested the item be removed for brief deliberation. The board did not request a recorded roll-call vote on the item because there was no demolition involved. The applicant was advised to coordinate final stipulations with Ms. Hellman or city planning staff.
The board did not take up any amendments beyond the full-replacement condition and recorded the approval as final for that docketed application.
