Webster Groves ARB approves Landale Drive pre-approval and OKs 253 Papin with design condition
Summary
The Webster Groves Architecture Review Board approved a pre-approval for 11:30 Landale Drive and voted to approve 253 Papin with a required horizontal band board on the garage gable; Tracy Collins recused from the Papin decision.
The Webster Groves Architecture Review Board approved a pre-approval for 11:30 Landale Drive and granted approval for 253 Papin with a specific design condition, the board announced at its regular meeting following a work session.
The board accepted the March 5 meeting minutes by voice vote before taking the Landale Drive item. "I will move to approve 11:30 Landale Drive as submitted," the presiding member said; the motion was seconded and the chair stated the item was approved (noted in the record as approved by four votes).
At the Papin hearing, the board noted a potential conflict of interest and recused Tracy Collins from participating. Board members had asked for modest revisions to the Papin garage elevations during preliminary review — specifically, a horizontal band trim at the bottom of the gable ends and, as a suggestion only, a gable louver and an added west-side window. The homeowners said they preferred to keep one west-facing wall free of windows to use as a projection surface and to maximize storage, but agreed to the band board detail.
A motion to approve 253 Papin with the understanding that a horizontal band board be added at the bottom of the garage gable side elevations carried; the chair announced the project "approved as noted." The record shows the applicant left with the direction to reflect the band board on final drawings and return any other coordinated changes as needed.
Tracy Collins is recorded as recused from the Papin action. No other formal conditions, financial commitments, or permit-level decisions were made at this meeting; applicants were reminded that zoning, setbacks and engineering approvals are processed by the planning department or through required civil engineering plans.
Next steps: applicants for projects receiving approvals were told to submit final, coordinated drawings and permit packages to the city; preliminaries (such as larger new-construction projects) were asked to return for further review after revisions.
