BAR23-434 300 Center St S - Waters Field - Exterior Modification - Revision
Request to revise previously approved exterior modifications for Waters Field Press Box
located at 300 Center St S. Docket No. PF-760159-BAR, in the PR, Park and Recreational
zoning district, filed by Brandy Wyatt, Dept. of Parks and Recreation., project contact, on
behalf of Paul Scott, Fairfax County Public Schools.
Applicant Present: Brandy Wyatt
The applicant proposed replacing the Waters Field Press Box stairs with pre-fabricated
aluminum stairs using the same footprint as the original stairs. She is looking to get
approval for the material.
Mr. Layer asked for a photograph of the building to understand better where the stairs
would be placed. He stated that he passed by the site and couldn’t figure out the location of
the stairs. Ms. Abaied commented that the applicant provided documents that show the site
and framing plans initially drawn when they considered replacing the stairs with
like-in-kind wood. The documents were provided to the board for review.
Ms. Wyatt explained that the original stairs were located on the dug-out side of the press
box. The stairs went up to the second level to a green door. The original stairs were
removed because an architectural firm condemned them. She understands how it can
cause confusion not having stairs currently in the location where the new stairs would be
installed. Her drawings showed the old stairs and how the stairs would be installed. She
commented that the drawings were from the like-in-kind wood stairs they were
considering and mentioned that after speaking with Fairfax County, they decided to use
pre-fabricated stairs instead.
A picture was presented for clarification on the location. The applicant stated that the
dugout faces the Waters Field, and the stairs will face the street towards the fire
department. There was a discussion on how the proposed stairs showed a little further out
toward the road and how the old stairs used to go up to a door, which has changed because,
on the proposed stairs, the landing takes you over to get to the door. The applicant replied
that there would be a bigger landing, but only by a little. The discussion continued.
Ms. Hanley inquired about the framing plan included in the application. It was clarified
that the framing plan in the application was for the stairs they were considering to be
like-in-kind wood with a footprint similar to the proposed pre-fabricated aluminum stairs.
The applicant stated they are using the same footprint shown on the framing plan, just
changing the material. Ms. Hanley asked whether they would use the old landing or
material. Ms. Wyatt confirmed they would not use the same landing or material previously
torn down.
Furthermore, the applicant explained that they provided the plans to Fairfax County and
asked for the stairs to be in the same footprint as those torn down. Fairfax County visited
the site for measurements and completed the order according to their and the town's
measurements. Ms. Wyatt noted that she is aware that some adjustments will be needed
due to the code.
Mr. Layer expressed concern about the footprints being different. To better understand,
Ms. Hanley approached the madden to highlight the differences between the footprints,
including the landing and the proposed stairs showing further out towards the road and the
shed previously on site, which the applicant confirmed would be removed. Mr. Layer noted
that before, you could not get behind the stairs, and now, with the proposed scope of work,
Town of Vienna Page 2 Printed on 11/21/2023
Board of Architectural Review Meeting Minutes October 19, 2023
you can go behind the stairs in between the dugout, which is concerning to him, as well as
not having the full ramifications for the ADA. Ms. Wyatt said that Fairfax County was
made aware of the ADA concerns. Fairfax County and their ADA coordinator researched
and determined that based on the ADA code 206.2.3.1, an accessible route was not
required for the building, and they met the ADA compliance by providing the
accommodations needed.
Ms. Hanley asked about the material for the landing. She voiced her concern about having
mud puddles underneath and suggested using gravel. She asked the applicant what their
plan was to keep the ground stabilized. Ms. Wyatt responded that she would have to defer
that to the Parks superintendent, Jeremy Edwards. She mentioned they’re generally
working on drainage around the building to keep the water away from it, along with the
gutter system they installed and some grading.
Mr. Baldwin asked if samples were submitted. Ms. Wyatt said she was not provided with a
sample and described the material/color as a brushed aluminum look.
Mr. Layer stated he wants to make it known that for any application that comes in and does
not satisfy the code, which requires plan elevations, sections, and showing what the
proposed scope of work looks like in the building, he would not approve it. The board needs
to know what they are reviewing and not have to piece it together. He noted that
applications are coming in without fulfilling the requirements.
Mr. Cheselka made a motion to approve the revision previously approved for exterior
modifications for Waters Field Press Box located at 300 Center St S. Docket No.
PF-760159-BAR, as presented.
Mr. Layer proposed an amendment to the motion. He stated that the next application that
comes through would have to show the criteria required by the code and show plans,
elevations, and sections in scale with dimensions in detail. Mr. Cheselka accepted the
amendment.
Ms. Abaied asked Mr. Layer if he would like the motion to be part of the item's motion or
make it a separate motion. Mr. Layer replied he wanted it to be for the stairs and that he
would possibly make a separate comment on it at another point.

BAR23-435 527 Maple Ave W - Norah Boutique - Signs
Request for approval of new signs for Norah Boutique, located at 527 Maple Ave W.,
Docket No. PF-1004382-BAR, in the C-1 Local Commercial zoning district; filed by
Nawar Al Saad of Norah Boutique, Project Contact.
Applicant Present: Nawar Al Saad
Ms. Al Saad wants to change the sign’s wording from Cupcakes and Blooms of Vienna to
Norah Boutique. Mr. Cheselka asked if the lumens would be the same for the panel sign,
to which the applicant said yes. He said the sign was big but understood that the applicant
was replacing what was already there and noted that it would be visible for the drivers to
see the sign from the road.
Mr. Baldwin told the applicant that if she wanted to try something different or add colors to
her sign, she could. The applicant responded that she wanted her sign to match the rest of
the building. With no further questions or concerns, a motion was in order.
Ms. van Doorn made a motion to approve the new signs for Norah Boutique, located at 527
Maple Ave W., Docket No. PF-1004382-BAR, in the C-1 Local Commercial zoning

Docket No. PF-1104545-BAR, in the C-1 Local Commercial zoning district; filed by
Cleopatra Burke of Fastsigns Fairfax, Project Contact.
Applicant Present: Cleopatra Burke
The applicant proposes replacing the current sign panel with a new one. The applicant
stated they are using green aluminum for the face, which would be routed out to show the
white acrylic behind the panel, allowing the lights to show through. Samples were provided
for the board to review. With no questions or concerns, a motion was in order.
Ms. Hanley made a motion to approve a new sign for The Mixx Delight, located at 448

Request for approval of a new sign for Vivi Bubble Tea, located at 233 Maple Ave E.,
Docket No. PF-1126670-BAR, in the C-2 General Commercial zoning district; filed by Ya
Zhang of Further Point Inc., Project Contact.
Applicant Present: Ya Zhang
The applicant described her proposed sign. The word “Vivi” will be on top, measuring 18
inches, “bubble tea” will be in the middle, measuring 10 inches, and the three skull logo
will be at the bottom, measuring 11 inches. Some samples were provided to the board for
review. Mr. Baldwin inquired about the samples for red and gold colors on the skulls,
which the applicant stated she did not have available.
Ms. van Doorn asked for clarification on the kelvin level since the application stated 2700,
the specifications showed under 3000 kelvins, and the staff memo said 2700-3000 kelvin.
Ms. Zhang explained that initially, the kelvin level was going to be higher than 3000, but
she received comments from staff recommending that she lower the kelvin level. The
applicant discussed the staff's comment with the contractor, who agreed to go under 3000
kelvins.
Mr. Cheselka commented on the sun possibly bleaching the white letters, turning them
gray. Mr. Layer noted that the returns would be bronze, giving it a pop. Mr. Baldwin asked
the applicant if the three skulls were part of her logo, and she responded yes, she wanted to
make the sign fun.
Mr. Baldwin asked staff if any information was available that described the gold and red
color used for the skulls. Ms. Abaied stated that she did not receive any information for
those colors. Ms. Hanley recommended that the applicant provide the information to be
added to the application.
Mr. Baldwin inquired about the window sign. The applicant stated that the window sign
displaying “coming soon” is temporary and will be coming down.
Mr. Cheselka made a motion to approve the new sign for Vivi Bubble Tea, located at 233
Maple Ave E., Docket No. PF-1126670-BAR, in the C-2 General Commercial zoning
district with the following provision:
•The applicant is to provide the gold and red color information to staff to be added to the

BAR23-438 144 Maple Ave W - Wag & Wash - Signs
Request for approval of new signs for Wag & Wash, located at 144 Maple Ave W, Docket
No. PF-1106987-BAR, in the C-2 General Commercial zoning district; filed by Ken
Padgett Mid-Atlantic Permitting Services, LLC., Project Contact.
Applicant Present: Ken Padgett
Mr. Padgett stated that the proposed sign would replace the loyal companion sign from the
previous pet store. He described the sign as having green faces, purple trim, and bronze
returns with a white tagline and a corporate purple and white paw print logo. The sign is
internally illuminated. The applicant also proposes replacing the under-canopy sign in the
exact location of the existing one.
Mr. Cheselka questioned the kelvin level being 7100. The applicant said he understood
that the recommended kelvin level range is from 3000-3500; however, the national
manufacturer suggested he ask the board for approval of the 7100 kelvins, and if it were
not approved, then they would comply with the maximum kelvin level recommended by the
board. The discussion continued. Mr. Cheselka and Mr. Layer recommended having the
kelvin level at 3000 and the lumen level at 150; all members concurred. Lastly, Ms. van
Doorn commented that the limitation would also be applied to the under-canopy sign. Mr.
Padgett responded that they were not touching the illumination on the under-canopy sign.
Ms. van Doorn made a motion to approve the new signs for Wag & Wash, located at 144
Maple Ave W, Docket No. PF-1106987-BAR, in the C-2 General Commercial zoning
district with the following requirements:
• The kelvin level is limited to 3000, and the lumen level is to stay the same as described in
the application.

BAR23-439 377 Maple Ave W - The Maple Room - Exterior Modifications
Request for approval of revisions to previously approved exterior modifications for The
Maple Room, located at 377 Maple Ave W, Docket No. PF-698964-BAR, in the C-1 Local
Commercial zoning district, filed by John Gaston, Paramount Construction Services,
LLC. Project contact.
Applicant Present: John Gaston
Mr. Gaston presented the proposed modifications that included the following:
• Front tower light fixtures
• Exterior emergency light fixtures
• Soffit light fixture replacement
• Canopy lighting
• Deck ambient lighting (strip lighting under the railing)
Mr. Cheselka wondered about the lumen level for the 32 watts shown for the front tower
light fixtures on the application. Mr. Gaston stated he did not know how to convert watts to
lumens but noted that the lights were not bright and were dimmable.
Ms. Hanley stated she was not concerned with the brightness of the tower lighting since
they’re on a dimmer facing Rd 123. She also commented in favor of the deck lighting on
the railing since it would help people see when they’re getting in and out of their seats.
She asked if it would get turned off at night, and the applicant replied that there is a
manual switch you can use to turn it off at any time.
Ms. van Doorn asked if the changes listed on the application were changes they had
completed, then realized they needed approval from the board. Mr. Gaston said they knew
they would change the soffit since it was from 1978, which is why it was included in the
architectural plan, but he was unsure if it needed to be presented to the board. Ms. van
Doorn voiced her concern about this being the third item presented to the board already
completed, looking for approval. She was trying to understand why it kept occurring. The
applicant stated he is now aware that whether an item is on the architectural plan, they
still need to submit a BAR application for the board to review.
Mr. Layer commented on the previous discussion about watts and lumens. He provided
clarification on the subject. He said that according to the chart he was looking at, 32 watts
would equal 3200 lumens. He noted the difference between watts, lumens, and kelvin
levels. Watts is power; kelvins is color and lumens output intensity. They all have different
scales and different ways of understating it. He wants to ensure that the applicant stays
within the 3000-kelvin level as stated, and if it is 32 watts, then it should be dimmed down
to an appropriate level. Mr. Baldwin agreed with Mr. Layer and Mr. Cheselka’s concern
about the light being too bright and noted that it would probably be part of the motion.
Mr. Cheselka made a motion to approve the revisions to previously approved exterior
modifications for The Maple Room, located at 377 Maple Ave W, Docket No.
PF-698964-BAR, in the C-1 Local Commercial zoning district with the following
conditions:
• The lighting is to be dimmed down to ambient lighting.

After the motion, Mr. Cheselka stated that he understands how it can be confusing when it
comes to reading watts and lumens. Still, he noted he believes the application has high
lumen numbers and told the applicant to ensure to have them dimmed down.
Ms. Abaied noted that she was the one who included the wattage on the application by
utilizing the information the applicant provided.
BAR23-440 400 Council Dr NE- Townhome - Exterior Modifications
7: Request for approval of exterior modifications for the property located at 400 Council
Dr. NE, Docket No. PF-1121011-BAR, in the RTH Townhouse zoning district; Ziba
Kehyari-Linden, Linden+Kehyari Associates, LLC., Project Contact.
Applicant Present: Ziba Kehyari-Linden
The applicant stated she proposed replacing the two existing windows at the rear of the
first-floor structure with a sliding glass door. She explained that the sliding glass door
would provide access to the future deck and highlighted that the owners currently have a
platform on the ground level that would be removed. The future deck would be installed
above the area where the platform is presently located.
Ms. Hanley asked what would replace the ground-level platform, and the applicant said it
could be gravel because grass would not survive. It was recommended to have a large
flagstone at the base, to which the applicant agreed and stated they would have
steppingstones.
Ms. van Doorn asked if the deck would be in a separate application. Ms. Abaied clarified
that the board does not review for decks, but they do review for exterior modifications,
which would be the proposed glass sliding door and the two exterior light fixtures on the
application.
It was explained to the applicant that she would have to submit the permit review plans to
the town for the door and the deck after receiving approval from the board for the exterior
modifications.
Mr. Cheselka stated that the request was a standard change and that access would be
needed to get to the deck. He said the proposed change was a great idea.
Ms. van Doorn made a motion to approve the exterior modifications for the property located
at 400 Council Dr. NE, Docket No. PF-1121011-BAR, in the RTH Townhouse zoning
district.

BAR23-441 131 Church St- NE - NOVA Parks - Exterior Modifications
Request for approval of exterior modifications for the property located at 131 Church St
NE, Docket No. PF-1134365-BAR, in the PR, Park and Recreational zoning district:
Leslie Herman, Director of Parks and Rec, Town of Vienna, Project Contact.
Applicants Present: Leslie Herman
Ms. Herman stated that the Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval from
the Board of Architectural Review to install four outdoor musical instruments on NOVA
Park's property at 131 Church St NE near the Caboose. Vienna Public Art Commission
received permission from the council to install the four outdoor musical instruments, and
the council completed a sound check to ensure they were okay with the noise level. Nova
Parks has also approved the musical instrument to be placed on their property.
Ms. Herman said that the town and Nova Parks are working to develop a license agreement
to identify the musical instruments' maintenance, liability, and ownership. She noted the
manufacturer of the instruments is Park Warehouse and that they would contract a
company to assemble and install the musical instruments. The flowers (musical
instruments) will face the W&OD trail. Town Park staff will install 6 by 6 timbers and a
stone dust bed in the 8 by 20 foot area, and the paver walkway leading from the caboose will
provide handicap accessibility to the stone dust path. The musical instruments will be
installed into the ground in a 10 inch diameter hole 3 feet deep with concrete.
Ms. van Doorn asked if the flowers would be painted pre-finished, and the applicant said
yes. Mr. Layer commented that the musical instruments are interesting and would add
lively quality to the area. He said that in the future, the application should show the path,
the railroad ties, the extent of where the railroad ties are, and the spacing between the
musical instruments. This information is required for the board to make their evaluation.
Ms. Hanley agreed with Mr. Layer’s comment. She asked what the ground cover around
the flowers would be when completed. Ms. Herman said it would be a stone dust bed to keep
the ground hardened and less muddy when it puddles and help stabilize the area for
wheelchair access. The discussion continued.
Mr. Baldwin asked if color samples for the stem and pedal were provided for the board to
review. Ms. Herman said she provided specifications for the size of the pedals. She did not
receive color samples from the manufacturer. Mr. Baldwin asked if it was possible to
request the color samples so that when it’s time to fix any damages, the town staff would
know exactly what is being replaced. Ms. Leslie replied she would check with the
manufacturer. Lastly, Mr. Baldwin wondered how the musical instrument worked. The
applicant explained that there was a wire with a drumstick that the kids would bang on the
pedal to produce a musical sound.
There was a discussion about the stone dust path picture showing nice curbs that would be
impacted when using the 6 by 6 timbers because it creates a square shape. Ms. Hanley
asked if they contemplated keeping the curbs. Ms. Leslie said that she pointed that out to
the park maintenance supervisor, who said that when the metal ridges are laid against a
grassy area where it’s weed-whacked or mowed, they tend to get hit and bend, which
damages them and makes it difficult to keep them looking nice.
Mr. Baldwin asked if the musical instruments (flowers) were sturdy. Ms. Herman said it is
very sturdy, and they’re considered playground equipment. They would do monthly
playground inspections to ensure everything is working. If anything breaks, they would be
Town of Vienna Page 9 Printed on 11/21/2023
Board of Architectural Review Meeting Minutes October 19, 2023
responsible for taking it out of commission while it is being replaced to ensure public
safety. Mr. Baldwin asked if electricity was involved, and the applicant said no. Lastly, it
was asked if signs would be used to attract parkgoers. Ms. Leslie said that the Vienna
Public Art Commission is putting up a sign saying “coming soon,” but they have not
discussed putting a permanent sign. The discussion continued.
Ms. van Doorn made a motion to approve the exterior modifications for the property located
at 131 Church St NE, Docket No. PF-1134365-BAR, in the PR, Park and Recreational
zoning district.
Mr. Layer proposed an amendment to the motion. He added that in the future, the
application is to include a plan showing all built elements. The timbers are to be
pressure-treated, laid in stone dust, and installed with galvanized spikes and round edges.
Ms. van Doorn accepted the amendment.

Request for approval of exterior modifications for Vienna Courts, located at 127 – 133
Park St NE, Docket No. PF-983578-BAR, in the RM-2, Multi-Family, Low-Density zoning
district, filed by Patty Hanley of BFR Construction Company, project contact.
Ms. Hanley recused herself from the item as she is one of the applicants for the project.
Applicants Present: Steve Bukont and Patty Hanley
The applicants attended two work sessions before the Board of Architectural Review
meeting. Mr. Bukont described the changes made after the last work session, including
the selection of the Pennsylvania Sedge plant and Little Bunny grass for the landscaping
in front of the retaining wall on Park St. Ms. Hanley noted that once the Pennsylvania
Sedge plant is fully grown, it can be maintained twice a year.
Additional samples were provided for the board to review, which included the asphalt
shingles, bricks, sandstone, flagstone, stackstone, stucco, and the color pallet for each
building. The applicants explained where the materials would be used and noted that they
are removing the landscape lighting from the application until further notice.
Ms. van Doorn asked if they were using manufactured stone or actual stone. Mr. Bukont
replied that they were using real stone. Ms. van Doorn wondered about the garage view
when coming up to Park St and asked if they had a picture showing the view. Mr. Bukont
referenced the image labeled “right” on the elevations/material document for building # 3.
He explained that he moved the architectural element around the corner and provided
details on the change. He also showed the board members the location of the retaining wall
located on Park St, turning around the corner, as well as the landscape layout. Ms. van
Doorn asked if buff cement would be used; the applicant said no and assured that the only
cement exposed on the building would be the bottom four inches and said that they are
lowering the siding around all the foundations so the fake brick cast foundation material
won't be visible.
Mr. Layer asked for the elevation of the garages. Mr. Bukont said that each of the
buildings has its rear elevation. He noted a slight variation between the 32-foot and 40-foot
wide units. The 40-foot wide unit has a 16-foot wide door and triple windows. On the
narrower units, there is a 9-foot door and double windows. Buildings 1,2 and 10 are 32-foot
wide units. Mr. Bukont added that another minor variation on most buildings, between
each garage, due to the slope of the site, is an 8-inch difference in slab elevation, and it was
noted that the 9-foot will have tandem parking. The discussion on the elevations and siding
continued. Mr. Layer then asked what color the garage doors would be. The applicant said
all garage doors will be black aluminum with frosted glass.
Following the discussion on the elevation and siding, Mr. Bukont explained that all units
would have a sunroom (three-season room), which most face Maple Ave. The three on Park
St. face the common drive alley, and unit 12 faces the drive aisle. All the sunrooms face
toward the commercial area, away from the residential neighborhood. After the applicant
described the surrounding areas, the board approached the table with the materials to
review and better understand where the materials were being used. Ms. Hanley referenced
the landscaping plan to show the board where the railing would be. Mr. Bukont said the
railing would follow along the retaining wall in the front as needed, up the stairs, on the
side of the stairs, and most of the porches in the front-facing Park Street and at the corner
of building number 4. He also noted that they would have a grippable handrail around the
handicap ramp. The discussion continued. With no further questions or concerns, a
Town of Vienna Page 11 Printed on 11/21/2023

motion was in order.
Mr. Layer made a motion to approve the exterior modifications for Vienna Courts, located
at 127 – 133 Park St NE, Docket No. PF-983578-BAR, in the RM-2, Multi-Family,
Low-Density zoning district, filed by Patty Hanley of BFR Construction Company, with the
following stipulations:
• The addition of the Pennsylvania Sedge plant and Little Bunny grass in front of the
retaining wall.
• The removal of the landscaping lighting from the application. Landscape lighting is to be
submitted at a later date.

Motion Carried
The board discussed Code Section 4-9(a)
Mr. Layer stated that the code specifically says that when there is an attachment to a
building or a structure, the board is to receive architectural plans. He described
architectural plans as in-scale plans, elevations, sections in detail, and specifications. Mr.
Cheselka believes this would benefit the board. Mr. Layer clarified that he was not
referring to building signs as signs are a two-dimensional flat plane, which, most of the
time, the sign drawing is done by a professional in a way the board is accustomed to. The
discussion continued.
Mr. Layer made a motion that every applicant is to submit a set of architectural plans,
meaning elevations, sections in detail, and specifications, when the application is about a
building, not a sign.
