Architectural Review Board 05/21/2026

The City of Webster Groves Architectural Review Board convened on May 21, 2026, primarily to review and approve architectural modifications for residential properties, including porch projects at 8631 Big Bend Boulevard and 312 Greeley Avenue. The board discussed design details such as removal of railings, deck skirting, finishing materials, and compliance with building codes, particularly regarding handrails. They emphasized the importance of clear labeling of submissions, especially when AI-generated images are used, to avoid confusion. Motions were passed to approve the projects with clarifications on finishing treatments, deck skirting, and structural details, and applicants were advised to coordinate with the building department to ensure code compliance. No direct procurement, contracting, or budgetary decisions were made during this meeting.
