The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hobbs. The roll was called by Ms. Jones and the Chairman
was informed that a quorum was present.
APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES: The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as presented.
NEW BUSINESS:
REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HLC2019-00035, submitted by William
Cover, applicant and property owner, for exterior improvements at property located at 109 Bosley Avenue.
The property is further identified as Zoning Map 34G16(6), Block C, Parcel 7*8*9*2A+, Suffolk Voting
Borough, zoned RM, Residential Medium zoning district, and HC, Historic Conservation Overlay District.
The public hearing item was introduced by Chairman Hobbs, followed by a staff report from Grace
Braziel, Planner I. Ms. Braziel stated that the subject property is part of the West End District of the
Suffolk Historic Conservation Overlay District and features a 2.5 story house constructed circa 1930 in
the Colonial Revival style. The property fronts on Gittings Street and Bosley Avenue and includes a non-
contributing detached garage in the rear yard. It previously received a Certificate of Appropriateness for
exterior improvements including replacement of the concrete apron around the pool, replacement of rotten
fencing, and tree removal in April 2019.
The applicant is proposing to replace the existing lattice and chain link fence along the western property
line with a new 6-foot-tall wooden fence, to replace the section of lattice fencing on the southern side of
the property with a new black aluminum fence that will also extend around the pool, and to use the same
black aluminum fence to replace the lattice fence and gate that extends across the driveway. In addition,
the applicant is proposing to replace the composite shingle roof on the side porch with a new composite
shingle roof which meets the requirements for in kind replacement.
The applicant included removal of a large limb from a pine tree along the western property line in this
request; however, this request cannot be reviewed as part of the application because the tree is located on
the neighbor’s property and does not belong to the applicant.
Ms. Braziel explained that the proposed location of the 6-foot fence would be in the rear yard and would
not be visible from either Gittings Street or Bosley Avenue. The proposed fence also connects to an
existing 6-foot wooden fence. Ms. Braziel noted that the proposed aluminum fence and driveway gate
would be visible from the street, but that the Guidelines state that decorative fencing is appropriate where
fences will be visible from public streets in front and side yards. The Guidelines also state that chain link
fencing is prohibited, thus the proposed black aluminum fencing would be more appropriate. As such,
staff recommends approval of this request with the conditions noted in the staff report.
The public hearing was opened. There being no speakers in favor or in opposition of the application, the
public hearing was closed.
The Commission briefly discussed the proposed fencing as an enhancement to the property and the
presence of similar fencing nearby. A motion was made by Commissioner Riddick to approve staff’s
recommendations as presented. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bailey and approved by a
recorded vote of 9-0.
REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HLC2019-00038, submitted by Ben
Clay, applicant and property owner, for exterior material alterations on property located at 130 Brewer
Avenue. The affected area is further identified as Zoning Map 34G17, Block 2 B, Parcels 18, 19, and 20,
Suffolk Voting Borough, zoned CBD, Central Business District, and HC, Historic Conservation Overlay
District.
The public hearing item was introduced by Chairman Hobbs, followed by a staff report from Kevin Wyne,
Principal Planner. Mr. Wyne clarified that the subject property is actually zoned RM, Residential Medium
zoning district. It is located within the 2004 West End Historic District of the Suffolk Historic
Conservation Overlay District. The subject property features a single family home built circa 1910-1925
in the Colonial Revival style. The house is 5 bays wide with weatherboard siding, a projecting center bay,
and front porch columns that rest on concrete piers.
In 2012, Certificate of Appropriateness HC-2012-48 was approved for the construction of a new garage
(50’ by 20’) with James Hardie-Plank siding. Construction did not begin within the six (6) month time
period; therefore, the COA expired. An identical proposal was made in 2014 and the garage construction
was completed.
In 2005, Certificate of Appropriateness HC-2005-90AD was received to remove and reinstall existing
wood siding in order to install insulation on the first floor, replace windows with new in-kind wood
windows, repair and replace wood railing and columns, and to paint the walls, shutters, and dentils.
2
The applicant is proposing to replace all existing exterior siding with Hardie plank siding in a similar
color. According to a provided contractor’s statement, the overall condition of the existing siding is poor
due to moisture damage or brittle and cracking wood. The amount of the siding recommended for
replacement by the contractor ranges from 40% on the front façade to 76% on the rear façade. It also states
that there are additions with siding that does not match the original siding on the main structure.
Mr. Wyne noted that the structure in question is a large, architecturally significant home, approximately
6,000 square feet in size. There is visible evidence of moisture damage; however, there is a significant
portion of siding where it appears repair is feasible. In accordance with Chapter 4, Section F.2.b of the
Historic District Design Guidelines in regard to wood materials, one should “repair rotten or missing
sections rather than replace the entire element” and “replace wood elements only when they are rotten
beyond repair.”
The applicant is proposing to replace all of the existing exterior siding with James Hardie-Plank siding,
which is a fiber cement siding that is described in Chapter 4, Section H.2 of the Historic District Design
Guidelines. Specifically, the Guidelines note that synthetic siding such as fiber cement “can be acceptable
as a substitute for the original materials where the original siding materials have been removed, where the
original siding materials have deteriorated beyond repair as determined by the Historic Landmarks
Commission, or to additions to the primary historic building.” Fiber cement lapboard can be designed to
replicate wood materials; however, preserving and restoring existing wood materials is the first option for
historic preservation and treatment. While there are portions of siding on the structure that are repairable,
the Guidelines support restoring the existing siding and replacing any missing siding or siding that is
damaged beyond repair with wood that matches the existing in material and design. Due to the size and
visibility of this structure, repair or replacement in kind is appropriate.
Mr. Wyne explained that replacing all of the existing wood siding would have a greater visual impact
because the structure is large. Wood siding of good quality evolves over time and requires maintenance
that adds to historic character. Synthetic siding cannot replicate the design and natural imperfections of
quality wood. There will be a noticeable impact to the street, the District, and the structure itself. As such,
staff recommends denial of this request.
Mr. Wyne added that staff recommends approval of the following: repair the existing siding that can be
repaired; replace existing siding that cannot be repaired with wood siding that matches the existing in
material, size, and exposure; and paint all siding to match existing siding.
The public hearing was opened and Ben Clay, applicant and property owner, spoke in favor of the
application. There being no additional speakers in favor or opposition of the application, the public hearing
was closed.
During his statement and subsequent discussion with the Commission, the applicant mentioned his
intention to replace everything on the outside of the structure, including cornices and window trim. The
Commissioners had a discussion clarifying the actual work the applicant is proposing because the
application is for the replacement of the siding only.
In regard to the siding itself, the Commissioners noted that the finish proposed would create a false wood
grain effect whereas the original siding is smooth. They requested that the applicant repair and paint a
3
portion of the existing siding for them to view and provide a mock up panel of the proposed materials for
on-site comparison.
Because the applicant stated his intention to replace additional materials not included in the application,
the Commission agreed that the applicant should amend his request to address the true scope of work and
that the entire project should be considered at once. Following this discussion, a motion was made by
Commissioner Darden to table the request for 30 days to give the applicant an opportunity to submit a
more complete package. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Bailey and approved by a unanimous
voice vote.

From: Grace Braziel, Planner I
Date: November 14, 2019
Subject: REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS HLC2019-
00040, submitted by Jeffrey Townsend, property owner, for after-the-fact
construction of an attached rear patio at property located at 178 East
Washington Street. The property is further identified as Zoning Map 34G18,
Block (6), Parcel 5, Suffolk Voting Borough, zoned CBD, Central Business
District, and HC, Historic Conservation Overlay District.
STAFF REPORT
Overview of the Subject Property and Surrounding Area
The subject property is located on East Washington Street between Commerce Street and
Franklin Street, thus it is part of the East Washington Street Historic District (2002) of the
Suffolk Historic Conservation Overlay District. According to the National Register of Historic
Places Inventory, the most common building form noted in this district is brick-fronted Italianate
or Vernacular style commercial structures. These commercial structures usually feature large
show windows and flat roofs, many of which have ornate parapets and central recessed
entranceways.
According to the National Register of Historic Places Nomination Form, the subject property is a
contributing one-story commercial building that was constructed between 1926 and 1940. This
building is described as having a stretcher bond brick structural system and a flat roof with
simple parapet.
Case History
At the September 14, 2017, meeting of the Historic Landmarks Commission, request for
Certificate of Appropriateness HC-2017-014 was approved to allow for construction of a new
flat roof and replacement of metal coping in-kind, repointing of brick and installation of a metal
gutter, vinyl clad windows and an aluminum door on the rear of the building, as well as
installation of an aluminum storefront system and architectural stone skirting on the front façade.

November 14, 2019
Page 2
As stated on all Certificates of Appropriateness, any additional improvements shall require a
COA and all required permits shall be obtained from the City of Suffolk.
On October 25, 2017, the property owner informed staff that the preexisting nonconforming
vinyl siding and original wooden transom windows that were hidden behind the vinyl were
removed without the approval of a COA. Staff informed the owner that a new after-the-fact
application would be necessary to review the proposed modifications which were not approved
by HC-2017-014. At the December 14, 2017, meeting of the Historic Landmarks Commission,
the property owner received a COA for the following actions:
1. After-the-fact removal of the preexisting nonconforming vinyl siding and original
wooden transom windows.
2. Install replacement powder coated aluminum transom windows with obscure glass that
match the original transom windows in size, layout, pattern, dimensions, muntin
configuration, and profile, utilizing an appropriate beige color from one of the
approved paint palettes. (The powder coating of the transom a beige color was never
completed).
3. Fill in the area between the ground floor storefront windows and transom windows
with painted wood trim utilizing an appropriate beige color from one of the approved
paint palettes. (It appears this area was filled with metal flashing or similar material
instead of approved wood).
On March 15, 2018 a notice of violation was issued regarding the window signage and the wall
sign that had been installed on the building. On May 17, 2018, a notice of violation was issued
for the installation of a covered patio. Both of these violations stem from improvements being
made without the benefit of a Certificate of Appropriateness being granted prior to the
installation of the improvements. As is required, the applicant was given 90 days to file an
application for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for these items. As it pertains to the
covered patio notice of violation, the property owner filed a COA application prior to the case
being forwarded to court.
At the November 08, 2018, meeting of the Historic Landmarks Commission, request for
Certificate of Appropriateness HLC2019-00037 was denied. The applicants request was for an
after-the-fact approval of a wall mounted sign, window signs, and the addition of a covered rear
patio constructed of unpainted, treated wood. The Historic Landmarks Commission
recommended that the property owner work with staff to achieve an appropriate design for the
covered rear patio addition, which has resulted in the application offered for consideration.
The applicant submitted and got administrative approval for HLC2019-00008 for the installation
of a wooden wall mounted sign to replace the previously denied internally lit wall mounted sign.
Currently there is a Certificate of Appropriateness application, HLC2019-00015,
administratively under review for the window signs, staff is waiting for additional information to
be provided from the applicant.

Public Notice
This request has been duly advertised in accordance with the public notice requirements set forth
in Section 15.2-2204 of the Code of Virginia, as amended, and with the applicable provisions of
the Unified Development Ordinance. A notice, containing a copy of the staff report, was also
provided to the applicant on November 08, 2019.
Proposed Actions
The applicant’s current request consists of the following actions, after-the-fact:
1. After-the-fact construction of a 438 square foot wood covered patio on the rear of the
building to be painted utilizing the color black.
2. Construct a 3 x 4 brick base around all seven of the 6 x 6 wooden posts holding up the
covered rear patio. Paint the white metal gutters and downspout black to match the
proposed black 6 x 6 posts.
3. Paint the 3 x 7 treated wood door that was constructed across an existing alleyway,
along the northwestern property line.
Surrounding Characteristics
As stated, the subject property is located within the East Washington Street boundary expansion.
The surrounding properties consist of contributing commercial buildings constructed in the early
1900’s. A detailed description of adjacent and nearby properties is provided below.

parapet.
Site Modifications
As noted above, the applicant is requesting an after-the-fact approval of a covered rear wood
patio. The applicant has also requested to paint a plywood door black, which was constructed
without a COA permit. It is located along the western property line extending across an
alleyway.
Applicable Regulations
A. Suffolk Historic District Design Guidelines
Chapter 1, Section F, Appropriate Design of Additions and Alterations for Buildings:
Changes to historic buildings should be appropriately designed to be compatible with the
architecture and overall character of the historic district. Additions and alterations to
buildings require careful design in order to preserve and strengthen the character of the
district. To this end, repair and maintenance activity involving exterior materials,
finishes, windows, doors, awnings, signage, fencing and landscaping should be carefully
planned to avoid negatively affecting the district’s overall character.
Chapter 4, Section F.1.b., Guidelines for Masonry:
Masonry such as brick should be used for new construction and additions where brick is
the common wall material.
Chapter 4, Section F.2.b., Guidelines for Wood Materials:
Keep all surfaces primed and painted.
B. Secretary of the Interior Standards:
As stated in the Secretary of the Interior Standards, new additions, exterior alternations, and
new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize a property. The new
work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size,
scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
Staff Analysis
As mentioned above, the applicant is seeking after-the-fact approval for the installation of a 438
square foot covered patio at the rear of the building constructed of unpainted, pressure treated
wood. The structure includes a flat TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) membrane roof that is not
visible from the public right-of-way. Additionally, the covered patio has a metal gutter and one
downspout, both white in color. The rear elevation does not have any public street frontage;
however, it does abut a City owned parking lot and is visible from Franklin Street, which is
located approximately 80’ from where the covered patio has been constructed.
HLC2019-00040
178 E. Washington Street
November 14, 2019
Page 5
Chapter 1, Section F. of the Historic District Design Guidelines states that, “Additions and
alterations to buildings require careful design in order to preserve and strengthen the character of
the district.” Specifically, attention should be given to what types of materials are used on
additions to ensure that they are compatible with the traditional materials of which historic
buildings are composed. Mercantile buildings in the district primarily consist of brick structures
with wood trim and metal accents. While wood is an appropriate accent, it should not be a
primary building material on commercial buildings. Furthermore, wood features in the Historic
District should be kept primed and painted, which the covered patio currently is not. To address
this deficiency, the applicant is proposing to paint the unpainted, treated wood portions of the
covered rear patio with the color black. Painting the wooden components of the covered patio
black would give the appearance of metal from the street and would visually be more
appropriate. The applicant is also proposing to paint the white metal gutters and downspouts
black to blend in with the patio.
In addition to painting the unpainted wood posts black, the applicant is proposing to brick the
base of the 6 x 6 wooden posts. Chapter 4, Section F.1.b. of the Historic District Design
Guidelines states that, “Masonry such as brick should be used for new construction and additions
where brick is the common wall material.” The subject building has a stretcher bond brick
structural system; therefore, the applicant’s proposal to brick the base of the wooden posts would
be appropriate for the new addition since the primary building consists of brick. Brick bases
would also provide more structural interest to the patio and would tie it visually to the structure.
The combination of both the proposed painted posts, gutters, and brick base would create a
visually appropriate rear patio addition that is consistent with other patios throughout the
Historic District. The proposed brick base would allow for the wooden posts to be compatible
with the existing commercial building. The alterations to the after-the-fact covered wooden patio
as proposed would not be detrimental to the historical integrity of the primary commercial
structure or to the surrounding area.
The applicant is requesting in addition to the proposed patio alterations, to paint a plywood door
that was constructed without a Certificate of Appropriateness. No request for the construction of
the plywood door was submitted or approved. The door is attached to the neighboring building
along the western property line, extending across an alleyway, connecting to an existing chain
link fence. The plywood door is currently being used as a barrier, but is not an appropriate type
of barrier where a fence would usually be placed. Additionally, it cannot be attached to the
neighboring building. The construction of the door has not been requested or approved and is not
appropriate in form or materials; therefore, staff recommends denial of the request to paint the
door.
Summary and Recommendations
Based on the previous findings-of-fact, staff recommends approval of the following actions and
conditions in regard to Certificate of Appropriateness, HLC2019-00040:
1. After-the-fact construction of a 438 square foot wood covered patio on the rear of the
building. All wooden elements of the patio shall be painted utilizing the color black.
HLC2019-00040
178 E. Washington Street
November 14, 2019

2. Construct a 3 x 4 brick base around all seven of the 6 x 6 wooden posts holding up the
covered rear patio. The brick must be compatible in color and type with the existing
brick structure.
3. Paint the white metal gutters and downspouts, on the rear patio addition, black to match
the proposed black 6 x 6 posts.
4. No portion of the patio may be attached to the neighboring buildings.
Staff recommends denial of the following actions requested by Certificate of Appropriateness,
HLC2019-00040:
1. Paint the 3 x 7 treated wood door that was constructed across an existing alleyway,
along the northwestern property line.
