Architectural Review Board 07/02/2026

The City of Webster Groves Architectural Review Board convened on July 2, 2026, to review architectural plans for residential projects, including a new detached accessory structure at 1521 Belton Avenue and a home addition at 701 North Forest Avenue. The board discussed detailed design elements such as roof slopes, window trims, porch configurations, siding materials, and door styles to ensure consistency with the historic district's character. They approved the accessory structure at 1521 Belton Avenue but tabled the home addition project pending revisions to address concerns about window placement, roof complexity, and porch design. The board emphasized the need for clear, updated drawings reflecting these changes for expedited re-review. No direct procurement or contracting decisions were made, but the meeting focused on design approvals that could impact future construction contracts and vendor work related to these projects.
