Historic Preservation Commission reports Preservation Exception language near finalization; draft to go to Planning Commission
Summary
Commissioner David Stopak told the Historic Preservation Commission on April 21 that a subcommittee is close to finalizing language for a Preservation Exception (also called a Preservation Waiver); the draft will be forwarded to the Planning Commission for approval.
At the April 21 meeting of the Washington Grove Historic Preservation Commission, Commissioner David Stopak reported that a subcommittee drafting language for a "Preservation Exception" (also described in the minutes as a "Preservation Waiver") was close to finalizing that language.
Stopak said the next step for the draft is submission to the full Planning Commission for approval; the minutes do not record a timeline or the text of the proposed language. The report was given as part of the commission’s old-business updates; no formal vote or motion on the draft language is recorded in the minutes.
The commission also covered routine items including commemorative signage, house signage (no new information), and outreach for a bulletin item about canvas tent construction under wood-sided cottages. The commission adjourned at 8:15 p.m.; its next meeting is scheduled for May 19, 2026.
