Architectural Review Board 08/06/2026

The City of Webster Groves Architectural Review Board convened on August 6, 2026, to review several residential construction and renovation projects. Key procurement-related discussions included detailed architectural and material considerations for projects at 361 Oakwood Avenue, 16 Hamill Avenue, 343 West Jackson Road, 1628 Johnpool Drive, and 15 Pearl Avenue. The board addressed issues such as roof design and drainage, floor area ratio (FAR) compliance, window and siding materials, and preservation of architectural character. A motion was passed to approve the project at 361 Oakwood Avenue with modifications to roof drainage and window placement. The FAR request for 16 Hamill Avenue was tabled pending resubmission to meet zoning requirements. The board also approved the project at 15 Pearl Avenue with added window details and architectural features. Discussions included material substitutions, such as replacing a deteriorated cement tile roof with asphalt shingles, and ensuring infill materials match existing structures. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were noted, but the meeting focused on design approvals that could influence future construction contracts and procurement decisions.
