The Architectural Review Committee's report for November has been posted. This includes a preliminary report on the proposal to rotate the house at 3219 Wisconsin to face Macomb Street and build a multistory addition on the Wisconsin-facing side of the lot. Note that the ARC in this report considered the moving of the original house and the massing and placement of the proposed addition, but expects to address details of the design of the addition in further review in subsequent months. Here is the HPO staff report on the project: planning.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/op/publication/attachments/Cleveland%20Park%20HD%203...
