Washington Street District: College Hill Conservation District Classification: Non -historic The applicants, Jeff Clark and IIunter Companies, are requesting approval for a demolition and new construction project at 602 E. Washington Street, a non -historic property in the College Hill Conservation District. The project consists of the demolition of the existing Agudas Achim Congregation buildings, and construction of a new residential townhouse development. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines far New Construction 6.1 New Primary Structures 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures 8.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Neighborhood Districts 8.2 College Hill Neighborhood 9.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Muld-Family Buildings 9.1 Site Fements 9.2 Architectural Elements Staff Comments The College Hill neighborhood includes a mix of single-family and multi -family residential buildings dating from the late 191h through the early 2011, century. The neighborhood traditionally had a strong association with the ]University, housing students in rooming houses, in scattered fraternity and sorority houses, and more recently, in apartment buildings. Private residences housed University faculty and staff as well as many business and civic leaders. Construction of apartment complexes and the unsympathetic renovations of other buildings have diminished the appearance of some of the streetscapes. The proposed project at 602 E. Washington includes demolition of the existing buildings of the Agudas Achim Congregation, and construction of a new 12-unit residential townhouse development. The property is located at the corner of East Washington and South Johnson, and measures approx. three- quarters of an acre. To the south is College Green Park, and to the north is Ralston Creek. The buildings of the Agudas Achim Congregation include the synagogue, with original construction date of 1950, and the office building attached to the north, built in 1994. 'These dates are from the Iowa City Assessor. Between 1950 and 1994, the original building appears to have had other additions to the east and west. The Site Inventory Form, which was prepared in May 1994, determined that the synagogue was "...less than 50 years old and does not appear to be eligible under Criterion C or any Criteria consideration." With regard to demolition of the existing buildings, the guidelines in Section 7.0 of the Historic Preservation IIandbook state that review and approval for demolition of primary buildings on non-hlStoric properties will be made on a case -by -case basis. The Commission must consider the condition, integrity and architectural significance of the buildings to be demolished. In this case, the existing buildings are not architecturally significant, and not suitable for adaptive reuse. With the site cleared, the proposed new development will include two 6-plex townhouse structures: one row Of townhouses facing south and one row facing north, with a shared drive in the center to be accessed from Johnson Street. At the level of the drive, each townhouse will have an enclosed two car garage and one uncovered parking space. Above the garage, at the First Floor, there will be open kitchen, dining, and living room spaces. The Second Floor includes two bedrooms; and a third bedroom will be located under the slope of the roof at the Attic level. Exterior materials include a chisel -faced limestone/cement masonry veneer product for the walls of the garage level; fiber cement board siding at the walls above; fiber cement board shingles in the gable ends and at accent areas; and architectural asphalt shingles on the roof. Proposed windows are solid aluminum single - hung, casement and awning styles with clear glass. A fiberglass half-lite door is proposed at the front and back entrances to each townhouse; proposed garage doors are fiberglass flush -style overhead doors. These products are all acceptable, and surpass the guideline recommendations for non -historic properties in a conservation district. Specific requirements for buildings in the College IIill Neighborhood are covered in Section 9.0 of the Handbook. Here it states that the building Facade, (street facing elevation), is restricted to a total of no more than 1,200 square feet; the building style must reflect the historic styles of the neighborhood; and the height and mass of a new multi -family structure must be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. While the proposed height and mass of the new townhouses seems compatible with the surrounding neighborhood, and the design style reflects the neighborhood's historic styles, the total size of the building facade far exceeds the 1,200sf maximum. In reviewing this, the Comnaission should Lake into consideration that the property is nearly the full width of the block, the proposed exterior materials are of a higher quality than the minimum required, and the project has been skillfully designed. Requirements for MultiFamilybuildings are covered in Section 9.0 of the Iandbook. With regard to Site Elements, the proposed project meets the requirements for building orientation and entrance design; the garage and parking design is compliant; and the setbacks appear to be compliant. 'l he plans do not indicate the type of exterior site lighting to be used, and this should be submitted for further review. With regard to Architectural Elements for Multi -family buildings, the proposed project generally meets all fisted requirements. 'l he style, which is a contemporary Stick Style, or a simplified Queen Anne Style, is compatible with the historic character of the College IIill district. The front facade is divided into modules which are traditional for townhouses and satisfy the guideline requirements for reducing the `visual mass' of a multi family building. There are only a couple specific items to verify: the plans do not indicate the nuaterial(s) to be used for the support posts of the rear balconies; and there is no indication of the lights to be used on the building. Section 6.0 of the IIistoric Preservation Handbook includes the guidelines for construction of New Primary Structures. Many of these recommendations are the same as the requirements for multi -family stuzictures, and again, the design of this project is generally compliant. Items to be verified nuclide the following: Windows and Doors: Verify the window muntins to be used; the guidelines state that divided lights must be created with muntins that are adhered to the sides of the glass, and that snap -in muntin bars are disallowed. Also, verify, the size of the attic windows at the cast and west elevations, as these appear out of scale with the building. Verify the panel design of the doors. Masonry: Vcrify the specifications for the masonry veneer product. 'l he garage level walls are a dominant feature of this design, and therefore color, texture, quality and performance are important considerations. Siding Verify that the smooth, rather than textured, side of the fiber cement clapboard siding will be used. In Staffs opinion, the proposed project meets the intent of the guidelines and should be approved, with the condition that Chair and staff review the specific items mentioned in this report. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 6021,. Washington Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide information on all exterior lighting, Provide information on the posts supporting the screen porches, • Vcrify window muntin style, and window sizes, and provide product information for entrance doors, • Provide product information and a sample of the masonry veneer product, • Verify use of smooth rather than textured finish for fiber cement clapboard siding, • These listed items to be reviewed and approved by Chair and staff. tv. it I Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 144C.

Washington Street The design of the proposed townhouses is based on the turn -of -the -century vernacular interpretation of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, historic examples of which can be are common in the College Hill Conservation District. As such, the proposed townhouses feature high pitched gable roofs (12/12) with vertically proportioned bay. Wide barge boards at the eaves, multiple textures of siding, corner boards, band boards. 2/2 windows and a gable cross bar at the barge board also are indicative of this style. Stone will be used for the foundation veneer, stairs and entry porches. A shed roof will cover the entry porch and simple decorative bracket will be used at the porch roof. Guardrails and handrails will be painted metal. The windows will be black aluminum, and siding and trim will be painted in a three -color scheme. All architectural elements, including form, roof pitch, surface texture and windows, are designed to support a contemporary interpretation of vernacular Queen Anne Victorian architecture. r 133a19 NOSNHOf CC3 i g zl it g w s 4 — �s------------ i - PS z ' i? b -- - -- —� --- , , , -- -- t 9-,C 1 a N u IV G o -¢ 0 a V) U .ti N 7 N F7 : ^ « \ «d2§ (\\k; \\ \ \ \\ <\a \\\\\! \\\\\\ \ § ; § / /. � b 2; // \\\\\� 2»\\} \\\\\\ ) � 6) Staff Report Historic Review for 315 Brown Street District: Brown Street Historic District Classification: Contributing July 6, 2012 The applicant, Susanna Strode, is requesting approval for an alteration project at 315 Brown Street, a contributing property in the Brown Street Historic District. The project consists of window replacement in the stairway and two upstairs bedrooms. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.13 Wuidows Staff Comments Construction date for this house is sometime around the turn of the century: the Site Inventory Form lists 1896; the Iowa City Assessor lists 1915. This is a late Victorian period house in the Suburban Cottage form With Queen Anne features. It is ttvo stories, with wood clapboard siding, wood shingle siding in the gable peaks, and metal roofing The side bays have open gables with narrow returns, while the front gable is closed — a feature of the Suburban Cottage form. The owners have made noticeable improvements to this house over the past 10 years, including renovation of the front porch, and work at the rear porch which includes a mudroom addition. Two first floor windows on the east side of the house are replacements that were installed as part of a kitchen remodel. The windows to be replaced by this project include one on the east side in the stairway to the second floor, and a total of five on the north and west sides in second floor bedrooms. These are all double -hung wood windows that appear to be original. The windows are in fair condition, with some wood deterioration, broken glass, and loose fitting sash. All of these windows have aluminum combination storms, in fair to poor condition. The proposed replacement windows are Marvin `Ultimate Double Hung,' which are on the list of pre - approved windows, but the Ultimate' is a complete window (frame and sash), and the Commission should confirmed whether the applicant is proposing to replace the windows entirely, or only replace the sash. The guidelines for Windows recommend repairing historic windows, and replacing badly deteriorated sashes with new sashes to match existing. For replacement windows, the use of metal -clad, solid -wood windows is acceptable; the metal should be finished in a dark color, preferably black. In Staffs opinion, the windows in this house could be repaired, and saving historic features is the best choice. A second option would be replacement of the existing sash with an approved replacement product, such as the Marvin `Tilt Pac Double Hung Replacement System,' or the Jeld Wen `Custom Sash Replacement Kit.' Any more extensive tear out and replacement would be inappropriate. If the applicant repairs the windows, then a Certificate of Appropriateness from the IIistoric Preservation Commission is not required. If the applicant replaces the window sash, then Staff recommends that the old sash be saved and stored on site per the recommendation of Section 7.0 Guidelines for Demolition. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 315 Brown Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Confirm window sash replacement product for review and approval by Chair and staff, Save and store the removed window sash. it Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landinarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 144C.

The project consists of the demolition of an existing one car detached garage and, in its place, construction of a new two car garage. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings Staff Comments This two story, side gabled house is an example of 2011, century Colonial Revival design with classical details on the porch. It features a symmetrical facade with small covered entry porch, and paired windows on each side. An original single story solarium is located on the south side. The materials include brick veneer, horizontal lap siding at the front and back dormers, and asphalt roofing Date of construction is from the 1920s, per State Inventory Form; 1930 is the date listed by the I owa City Assessor. The existing detached garage is at the rear of the property, with access from the alley on the west. This is a one car garage, with a flat roof, and horizontal lap siding. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing garage, and construction of a new two car garage in the same location. The new garage will be 24' wide x 24' deep, with an end gable roof, horizontal lap siding, and a 16' wide doublecargarage door. Siding will be 4-inch exposure fiber cement board, with 4-inch fiber cement trim boards. The north, east and south sides will each have a window, the gables will have an 18-inch x 24-inch vent, and there will be an entry door on the east side. Roofing to be asphalt shingles. The proposed windows will be either Jeld Wen metal -clad wood double hung, or Jeld Wen wood double hung, approximately 24-inches wide x 36-inches high. The proposed entry door is a six panel steel door (the guidelines indicate that a fiberglass door rather than metal). The proposed garage door is insulated steel, with flush woodgrain design. The guidelines for New Outbuildings recommend installing two single -car garage doors rather than one double -car door, but with the exception of the garage door, the proposed plans appear to meet the requirements of the Commission's pre -approved design for new garages. Items to confirm include the finish of the siding, which should be the smooth side, and the trim locations, which should include corner boards, and a frieze board at the top of both gable and side walls, where the wall meets the soffit of the eave. Also, the roof overhang should be approximately 18-inches. If these items are confirmed, then in Staffs opinion the proposed project meets the intent of the guidelines and should be approved. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 425 Oakland Avenue, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Roof overhang to be 18-inches, • Install trim around all doors, windows, and vents, and include corners boards and frieze boards, ° Fiber cement board to be installed with smooth finish. The pedestrian door to be a fiberglass panel door. = F..mop t 4 M Rlsk r:C Pf,;. e "i Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 14-4C.

Staff Report Historic Review for 728 Rundell Street District: Longfellow Historic District Classification: Contributing July 6, 2012 The applicant, Stephen Vincent, is requesting approval for an alteration project at 728 Rundell Street, a contributing property in the Longfellow Historic District. The project consists of new concrete steps and stoop at the front entry, and replacement siding on the front dormer. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa CityHistoric Preservation Guidehnes for Alterations 4.10 Porches 4.11 Siding Staff Comments 728 Rundell is a one -and -one -half -story gable roof `Nloffitt house,' built in the 1920s, It is one of several Moffitt houses on this street. The Site Inventory Norm describes this house as an example of the English Cottage style, with a steep -pitched side gable and projecting front gable roof. The house has been altered by the addition of shed roof dormers, and by enclosing the single car garage on the left side of the front facade. The front porch has also been altered. Except for a small closet window, the windows on the front facade are paired double -hung windows. At the April 2012 meeting, the hIsstoric Preservation Commission approved a project to remodel the former alLached garage at 728 Rundell. The proposed work included window replacement, new back door in relocated opening, and new siding. This project is now underway, and the current proposal is for additional work at the front entrance and at the front dormer. The proposed work at the front entrance includes removal of the existing concrete steps, stoop, and brick faced sidewalls, and construction of new concrete steps and stoop, with new wrought iron railings. This new porch will be 7-feet wide The existing metal awning over the front door will also be removed. The guidelines for porches recommend repairing historic porches or replacing to match. In this case, the concrete steps and stoop may be original, but the brick faced sidewalls and the metal awning and posts were all likely added at a later date. The guidelines also state that using wrought iron elements is disallowed, unless they were part of the historic design; and using precast concrete steps in highly visible locations is disallowed. In staffs opinion, replacing the existing porch construction with new concrete steps and stoop is an acceptable, appropriate improvement. The new steps must be poured in place and cannot be precast. The wrought iron railings should be of the simplest design. The proposed work at the front dormer includes removal of the existing vertical siding, to be replaced wiLh horizontal lap siding to match other existing siding on the house, This will be 6" wide cedar siding; any new Irian will match existing as needed. The guidelines for siding recommend repair of historic wood siding, and replacement of deteriorated sections with new or salvaged wood that matches the historic siding. Although the existing siding on Lhe fronL of this dormer is vertical baLten style, the sides of the dormer have horizontal lap siding, and a similar dormer on the back of the house has horizontal lap siding on all sides. In Staff'.s opinion, the existing vertical baLten style siding is deteriorated and replacement with horizontal lap siding is acceptable and appropriate. Recommended Motion Move to approve a CertificaLe of Appropriateness for the project at 728 Rundell Street, as presented in the application, with poured in place concrete and simple wrought iron railings at the new porch.

Proposed Project Details Project Description: a C:,k"k Materials to be Used: Exterior Appearance Changes: ppdndni i u .h i.vtpirs: app for_hismrfcr:.�icw. doe 12'Il Proposed Project Details: 728 Rundell Shed Dormer Siding, Front Porch Replacement Project Description: The proposed project has two elements, both involving prior alterations of the original structure. One involves replacing vertical siding in the gable on the second -story shed portion of the house's front side. The second involves replacing the front porch and its brick trim. The house was built by Howard Moffitt or the team of Moffitt and Blakesley. According to the 1978 Site Inventory for the Iowa City IIistoric Preservation Commission, " fhe [front, second - story] shed roof, vertical siding in the gable on shed, and the front porch are all alterations." The project proposes to replace the current, visibly deteriorated vertical siding in the shed gable with horizontal clapboard siding. This would be consistent with the horizontal clapboard on the house's otherwise matching rear, second -story shed gable. It would also be consistent with the horizontal clapboard in the front, second -story shed gable on the Moffitt house that is architecturally most similar, the almost identical structure at 722 Dearborn St. (See photos.) The project proposes to replace the current dilapidated brick -trimmed concrete porch with simpler concrete steps accompanied by wrought iron railing. (The house does not have any other brick elements, suggesting that the current brick siding is not original.) The steps and railing will be in full conformance with city code. Materials to be Used: The proposed horizontal siding will be 1 /2" thick, 6" cedar siding, to be overlapped in a manner comparable to that of the horizontal siding found on other sections of the house. Any incidental trim replacement, while not anticipated, would match that which would be replaced. The new porch will be concrete with wrought iron railings on. (It is not possible at this date to provide a photo of the wrought iron railing material as a concrete contractor has not yet been selected.) The porch will be 7' wide. Exterior Appearance Changes: The exterior appearance changes will only effect areas that have been previously altered. The new siding in the gable will be more consistent in appearance than the current siding relative to the house's other second -story gable siding and the second -story gable siding on the Moffitt house most similar, 722 Dearborn St. The current brick -and -concrete porch will be replaced with concrete and wrought iron railing that is more consistent with the house's overall appearance. Staff Report July 6, 2012 Historic Review for 833 Rundell Street District: Dearborn Street Conser\,ation District Classification: Contributing 'I lie applicants, Riley and Nlichal Fynon-Lynch, are requesting approval for an alteration project at 833 Rundell Street, a contributing property in the Dearborn Street Conservation District. The project consists of finishing the existing attic and includes a new dormer, skylights, and new windows. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 lowa City Histonc Preservatiori Guidelines for Alterations 4.7 Mass and Rooflincs 4.11 Siding 4.13 Windows Staff Comments This one story front gabled house is a simple example of the popular bungalow. The entrance is at the side of a lower -pitched front gable extension that was originally the porch. Date of construction is listed as 1926 by the Iowa City Assessor; 1931 on the Site Inventory Form. There is a single car garage from the same period located immediately to the rear of the house, The windows on this house are double -hung, with vertical divided-lite top sash that are characteristic of the Craftsman style. Any other exterior details of the Craftsman style are now missing, or covered by the replacement siding. The exposed foundation is textured concrete block. Roofing is asphalt shingles. The proposed project includes a new 12-foot-wide dormer on the south side of the roof, with three double hung windows, and horizontal lap siding. A skylight is planned for the west slope of the dormer roof, and two skylights are planned for the north slope of the main roof. The double hung windows will be Anderson 400 Series clad wood windows; as an alternative the applicant is also considering a similar Marvin window. The siding oil the dormer will be fiber cement board, to match the siding on the house. The roofing will be asphalt shingles to match existing. The guidelines for Mass and Rooflines recommend designing new dormers to be of a size, scale and Proportion that is consistent with the architectural style and individual character of the house. The face of the dormer should be primarily composed of window area, and the pitch of the dormer roof should match the main roof. In Staffs opinion, the proposed dormer is appropriate for this house and tracers the intent of these requirements. Staff does recommend that the roof pitch of the dormer match the pitch of the roof over the front entrance. The guidelines recommend against skylights, and if skylights are installed they should be a metal framed type. Information on the type of skylight to be used is not included with the applicauon. The guidelines for Windows recommend that new windows match the type, size, sash width, trim, divided lites, and overall appearance of the historic windows. The use of metal -clad, solid -wood windows is acceptable. The proposed Andersen windows meet these requirements. The proposed grille pattern is the same as the divided lite design of the existing windows on the house, although the type of grille trust be confirmed, and should be the permanent interior and exterior type, preferably, with spacer between the glass. The plans also indicate that the existing attic window on the front of the house will be replaced with two double hung windows with six -over -one divided lite design. The sire of these windows should be confirmed, as the sill will need to be raised to stay above the roof below, and the grille pattern should be three -over -one to match the existing windows. The guidelines for Siding allow fiber cement board, using the smooth rather than the textured side. For this house it may be more appropriate to use a narrower exposure instead of matching the wide replacement siding on the house. In Staffs opinion, the proposed project meets the intent of the guidelines and should be approved, with the condition that Chair and staff review the specific items mentioned in this report. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 833 Rundell Street, as presented in the application, Nvith the following conditions: Verify Andersen or Marvin windows, widow sizes, and t;?e of grille at simulated divided lines, Verify roof pitch of new dormer, • Provide product information for the skylights, • These listed items to be reviewed and approved by Chair and staff, Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 14-4C.

Proposed Project Details Project Description: The project proposes to finish unused attic space with a multi -function masLer beditotlZbath and partial tome office. To achieve greater efficiency and maximize floor space a dormer on the south side is proposed to house the bathroom area. The location aligns it with the existing first floor bath. The dormer would be centrally located on the south roof plane, have a bank of (3)3 over 1 double hung windows trimmed to snatch existing conditions. The dormer would be of similar proportion and roof pitch to the gable porch on the east facade. Materials to be Used: rcof=asphalt shingles to match existing; windows=Anderson 4", Serles Woodright 3 over 1 wi simulated divided 3 lights (possibly use Marvin Double hung 3 over 1 depending on estimate);siding�f ibcr cement board to match existing siding size. Exterior Appearance Changes: The major change is the dormer on the south facade, the massing is proportional to the overall dwelling, the roof line of the dormer will not be higher than the existing attic ridge. The roof eaves will extend approximately 1'-6" and have similar cut to the existing porch facia. The new siding will match the size/spacing of the existing.

It features a symmetrical five bay facade with limestone sills and lintels, and end chimneys. A front gable is located above the central entry and paired Italianate brackets, with delicate pendants, are ibund along the cornice, the central entry has sidelights and now has a classical porch treatment. there is a rear wing, plus additions which have been made to the rear which are not visible from the street. A four car garage is located near the southeast corner of the lot. This house serves as the entrance to the Summit Street district and is considered to be a Key structure. The garage is non—contributing. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE & ASSOCIATED CONTEXTS: Longfellow Neighborhood: c.1860—c.1946 APPLICABLE NRIIP CRITERIA: A X B_ C_ D_ NRHP ELIGIBILITY: INDIVIDUAL YES _X_ NO _ DISTRICT CONTRIBUTING X NON—CONTRIBUTING Summit Street, between Burlington and the railroad tracks, has always been locally recognized as having a special quality, and in 1973 it became the first Iowa City historic district named to the National Register of Historic Places (it was designated a local historic district in 1983). The far northwest corner (between Burlington and Court) was part of the original 1839 plat of Iowa City, and a six foot tall limestone obelisk marks the southeast corner of the original town. Residences range in construction date from the 1860s to post—WW II, with the majority built between 1886 and 1910. Lots in the neighborhood vary in size, but many are larger than those along nearby streets. the deep setback shared by the houses allows for front lawns which present a park —like appearance with mature tree cover. Summit Street was not the home of Iowa City's wealthiest residents, rather it was home to many solid middle—class business and professional people, representing a broad spectrum of Iowa City society. Early city directories list as residents: Henry Strohm of the Strohm Nursery, two Younkins who were attorneys, H.S. Fairall a local newspaper editor, several retirees, widows, merchants, a dentist, a professor, and one laborer. When brick paving was introduced in Iowa City, the first residential blocks to be paved (1897) included College Street east from the downtown business district to Summit, then south on Summit to Bowery. This may have been local recognition that these were two of the community's most substantial neighborhoods. Several residences retain original ancillary structures such as carriage houses, fences, and carriage blocks. These add to the sense of time and place that make South Summit Street a historic district. The Kaufmann House is a Key structure in this district.

Mohr, CLG Program Coordinator Availability of Fiscal Year 2013 Certified Local Government Grants The State Historical Society of Iowa announces that the 2013 Certified Local Government (CLG) grant round has begun! In this round we anticipate awarding approximately $84,000 in CLG grants. The 2013 Grant Manual (PDF) and the 2013 Application (Word) are available on our web site at httt7:.:/ww w. iowahistorv.or�'h istol i c-l7resei v atioiI/I ocal-arcs crvati on/cle-Lrant-i aformation.html Please contact me to discuss your project before beginning your application. I can be reached at (515) 281-6826 or by email at >t aula.luohr n iowa gov_. i look forward to working with you. WHAT'S NEW WITH THE CLG APPLICATIONPROCESS THIS YEAR? We have been given authorization from the National Park Service to use a rate of $17.22 for our volunteer wage rate rather than the federal minimurn wage. This volunteer rate has been established by the Independent Sector, a leadership forum for charities, foundations, and corporate giving programs. Please use $17.22/hour for calculating the value of volunteer labor used as in -kind match on the budget page. Also, to assist us with our reporting requirements with the National Park Service, we are asking that applicants provide a 100-word summary of their proposed projects. Applicants for survey and nomination projects also need to state an estimated number of resources to be surveyed as well as an estimated amount of acreage. For more information, please see the grant application. KEY DATES. August 10, 2012 Submit a draft application for review and comment by State Historic Preservation Office staff (it is highly recommended that you submit a draft application for review and to insure that your budget is ample to successfully complete the project). CLGs applying for a planning for preservation grant or a pre -development projects must submit a draft application for review); draft applications can be emailed to paula.mohr@iowa.gov August 17, 2012 The State will return comments on draft applications to the applicants. Sept. 6, 2012 Final grant applications must be postmarked by this date. Hand -delivered applications must be delivered by this date. October 12, 2012 State Nominations Review Committee (SNRC) will meet to make final recommendations for CLG grant awards November 2012 State Historical Society Board meeting to approve grants recommendations December 2012 CLG grant applicants will be notified of grant awards. February 2013 CLG Grant -In -Aid Agreements (grant contracts) will be sent to 2013 awardees. March 1, 20 13 Earliest possible start date for the 2013 CLG Grant projects June 30, 2014 2013 CLG Grant projects must be completed WHO CANAPPLY? CLG grant program is open to those Iowa cities, counties and land use districts that have signed a Certified Local Government Agreement with the State of Iowa and National Park Service. In addition, CLG cities, counties, and land use districts must be CLGs in good standing and current in their submission of Iowa CLG Annual Report forms (e.g., annual reports through 2011). CLG cities and counties may partner with one another and apply for a joint project. CLG cities and counties may delegate application privileges to an organization within their corporate limits, however, the CLG must be the applicant and be involved in the project. WHAT ARE ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES? CLG grants can be used to underwrite the following historic preservation activities: Planning for Preservation tiN •^ Planningfor Preservation are start-up grants geared to help newly certified or inactive commissions receive basic training in three areas: 1) planning, survey, evaluation; 2) project development, management, 1 and completion; and 3) working with a historic preservation professional. The goal of these projects is to help the Commission and Community understand the role of planning, survey, and evaluation in a local historic preservation program, particularly in developing a historic property inventory and using the inventory in comprehensive planting. „ For example, the city of Washington has recently completed a planning for preservation project during which the commission received training in basic preservation principles, the consultant and commission developed historic contexts and recommendations for further work were made. Survey and Evaluation Did the flood in 2008 make you realize that you don't know as much about your historic resources as you should? Consider doing either a reconnaissance or intensive survey and evaluation project in your community. Survey and Evaluation projects are done to locate, record and research older (pre-1960) buildings, structures, sites (such as parks), and objects such as (sculpture or fountains). For example, you could undertake a survey of the downtown commercial area or older neighborhood in conjunction with a revitalization project. Another possible project is to survey older farmsteads or now abandoned industrial complexes- Use a survey project to start identifying prehistoric and historic archaeological site locations. Finally, survey your parks, recreational facilities, or city/county owned properties. Evaluations are done to determine if surveyed properties are significant and qualify as "historic properties." We encourage communities to combine survey and evaluation in one project that would be described as an intensive survey - evaluation project. The historic preservation commissions in Sioux City and Fort Dodge have recently surveyed their downtown commercial areas with the help of CLG grants. Registration NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES Registration is the act of nominating a property, evaluated as significant, to the National Register of Historic Places or to a municipal or county registry. If you have already undertaken an intensive survey, preparing a National Register nomination this is an excellent next step. Properties listed on the National Register are eligible for financial incentives not available to non - listed properties. Pre -Development CLG grants cannot be used for actual work on properties but th, category, Pre -Development, for the development of different types of plans to apply a preservation treatment or treatments to a historic property. Pre -development projects can also explore and/or develop plans for adaptive use of a historic property. The properties must be listed on the National Register, either owned by the local government or owned by a non-profit corporation, used for community benefit and open to the public. A great example of how these projects can benefit historic resources is the Burlington Public Library which received a pre -development grant to assist in developing ideas for this building's adaptive use (see picture to the right). Public Education These grants can be used to develop and present a workshop, conference, exhibit, brochure, booklet, video, or CD-ROM that provides information about different aspects of historic preservation and/or informs and instructs the public about historic preservation. The focus must be on preservation of buildings, structures, sites, objects or historic districts. It can deal with survey, evaluation, registration, planning, and preservation treatments (pre -development projects, preservation, rehabilitation, restoration, and reconstruction, adaptive use). Possible training opportunities include, but are not limited, to sending a HPC commission member or staff person to: • National Trust for Historic Preservation annual conference • Preservation Leadership Training; htt :gwww. reservationnation.or resources/trainin / It/ • National Preservation Institute; httn://www.nyi.ore/ • Campbell Center in Mount Carroll; http://www.campbellccnler.org • Preservation Trades Network conference: httn://nln.org/index.htm • National Alliance of Preservation Commissions; Commissions Assistance Mentoring Program (CAMP); littp://www.uga.edu/napc/proLraiiisinancicanii),Iitiii • Advisory Council on Historic Preservation; Section 106 training; Jittp://www.achp.gov/1 06select.hhn I Planning Planning is done to develop a long-term schedule of historic preservation activities and to integrate historic preservation into the city or county comprehensive plan. Examples: Developing a long-term plan for survey, evaluation, and registration of historic properties (buildings, sites, objects, structures, and districts) within your city or county. Developing a historic preservation component for your comprehensive land use plan. y o � ffFe ® p1i1tM'm 1�•�01p�1 ru � ma tom• tl�ll� Planning projects can also include efforts i�" mPur••a.la ino i YlIrl i nhim MINE; reb°U designed to protect historic properties.

Applications will be evaluated on the following: clear and achievable goals within time frame and budget; project meets Federal and State requirements; project will fulfill local and/or state preservation goals; past performance of applicant indicates capability of completing the project; project will generate required products and additional products. The Iowa State Nominations Review Committee conducts the review and evaluation of the grant applications and makes award recommendations to the State Historical Society of lowa!s Board of Trustees. The recommendations of the Committee and the Board are forwarded to the State Historic Preservation Officer, who makes the final awards. CAN THE CLG GET HELP IN PREPARING THE GRANT APPLICATION? Yes! Here are your options: • You are strongly encouraged to contact the Historic Preservation Office Staff members with questions and requests for help. Please contact Paula Mohr, pa,ula.molh (( iowa.aov; (515) 281-6826 who will help or refer you to the appropriate staff person. • Submit a draft application for staff review and comment. • Contact Paula Mohr to find out which CLGs have done similar projects, so you may contact them and ask for their advice. Also, you may request a copy of a funded grant application for a similar project. • Contact preservation professionals who work as consultants on grant projects. You may hire a consultant to prepare the application. However, be advised that grant money cannot be used to reimburse the consultant for preparation of the application, nor can the CLG promise to hire the consultant to work on the project if the grant is awarded. • Most CLG cities and counties belong to a Council of Governments (COG) or Regional Planning Commission (RPC). These agencies provide grant -writing services and several have written successful CLG grant applications. HOW CAN GET THE APPLICA TIONAND MANUAL?

CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: Con ressional Church of Iowa City, 30 North Clinton Sn eet. Miklo said that this property is an Iowa City Landmark and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places a number of years ago. He stated that it was then designated as a local landmark. Miklo said the proposal is to replace the roof and repair the wood trim in the eaves. He showed an illustration demonstrating where the asphalt shingles are showing signs of deterioration. Miklo said the proposal is also to repair or replace portions of the wood trim in the eaves of the chinch. Miklo said that along the southern wall of the church, the decorative work in the eaves was removed a number of years ago and was replaced with a simplified design. He said the proposal is to use the (metal?) in one area. Miklo showed some close-ups that revealed some deterioration. He said that in other places it's difficult to tell from the photographs, but there may be some additional wood rot. Miklo said the roof being proposed is somewhat unique. IIe said that rather than using asphalt shingles, which have a more limited lifespan, the proposal is to use a metal roof that has a coating similar to asphalt. Miklo distributed an example to Commission members. He said that up close, it is obvious that this is metal, but fiom a distance, it does have the appearance of an asphalt roof. Miklo stated that the original roof on this building was most likely wood shake shingles that were replaced many years ago. He said the guidelines indicate that for practical purposes, asphalt shingles of architectural g ade that have the appearance of shake are an appropriate alternative. Miklo said that in staff's opinion, although these are not asphalt shingles, they have a similar appearance. IIe said that, given the application on such a large roof, staff feels it would be an appropriate substitute material and would recommend it. In terms of the decorative work in the eaves, Miklo said that staff would like to see come details. IIe said staff would recommend approval of repair and replacement where the wood is severely damaged, but as much of the historic material should be reused to the extent possible. IIISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 2 of 9 Regarding the southern Gave, where the proposal is to use metal, Miklo said that the preferred solution would be to duplicate the wood design as used throughout the rest of the church. He said that because of the exposure there and the close proximity of Phillips Hall, this does not get a lot of direct sunlight. Miklo said that water damage has therefore been a problem here, and that is probably why it was replaced previously, He said staff would be open to a metal substitute but would like to see a profile more similar to the historic profile. Miklo said staff therefore recommends approval of the roof replacement, subject to more details regarding the extent of wood rot so that as much of the original material as possible would be reused, and on the south exposure, staff would like more detail regarding the design of the molding. Carlson stated that he is the architect for this project. He said he has closely observed the majority of the wood. Carlson said that most of the wood is in good shape; the paint has come d, but the wood is in good shape. He said they believe that if they sand it to get back to a smooth sm face, prime it properly, and repaint it, they wi 11 be able to retain most of it. The wood that is not that way is the flat board fascia that is on that west face. Carlson said they were showing some of the gaps in that. He said that down at the ends, one can see the pieces coming apart; it is the flat board in behind that is really in bad shape. Carlson said they believe they can duplicate that really well in a fypon material that will hold paint. He said that all the decorative wood would be taken off, sanded, primed, and back painted, and then first coat paint on it and then reinstalled. Carlson said the decorative element on that side would all be back. He said the ones that need to be repaired would get repaired, but then that piece that is up against the brick, which is really the harness on that wood, would be the fypon. Carlson said it would be stable, it gives a long length, and they can get the long lines in there and hold the joints. Carlson said they think they can get clear cedar in there to stay, but they just don't have the wide, good pieces of board without knots, which are really getting hard to find, and that is why they thought they could go back to the fypon. He said that if there are sections of that that are in good shape, they would use those elsewhere, where some of the boards are not. Carlson said that the idea is mostly going hack with the original wood, outside of that one board. Carlson said that they may of course find, when they take everything apart, that the back side is the problem. He said that on the south side where they are proposing the metal, in the 1950s, the overhang was cut back. Carlson said it is just about afoot now, where the overhang on the other side is quite a bit deeper. He said that in trying to come back with something decorative, the shape and style would have to be significantly different. Carlson said that one can basically see that off the handicapped enhance ramp on Phillips Hall. Carlson said that if that metal face is the same color as the wood, it wouldn't be noticeable. Carlson said the big advantage with the metal is that it will be a fully vented soffit. Ile said they want to get more air up into the attic. Carlson said that on the north side, they have found some condensation coming down out of the roof through some of the grooves. He stated that the interior of that roof does not follow the exterior, so there is actually a fairly reasonable attic space up toward the top. Carlson said that if they can introduce more air up there, they think they can pull more of the moisture out. Carlson said that one of the other advantages of the metal batten roof is that they get the battens underneath so they will be able to pull air up under the metal. He said that will help keep the sheathing dry and help get a little more moisture out of that roof. Carlson said the building was not designed to have humidity in it. He said that now that humidity is added for modem comfort, they need to get it back out of the roof system. Michaud said this sounds reasonable and asked about the fypon. Carlson responded that it is a synthetic material, a polyurethane product. He said it comes in various thicknesses, and they would be going back in with something three-quarters to seven -eighths, nominally the same thickness as that board. Carlson said that it can be milled just like wood. He said he worked on the exterior of the Shambaugh House, and the trim pieces on that that went back are all fypon. Carlson said it actually mills more nicely than wood does. Miklo stated that another place the Commission has allowed fypon to be used is on the Mansion on South Gilbert Street. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 3 of 9 Baldridge asked if there has been any discussion of replacing the finials that historically were on the lower part of the church. Carlson replied that the finials were removed because they were damaged and having problems at that time. He said that it would cost a lot to go back and put them back and that they were removed for a reason. Carlson said they are all carved wood. He said the steeple was once struck by lightning, and at that point in time, several things were simplified because of all the problems they were having. Carlson said the lightning strike really drove them to make some changes. He said the finials would be expensive to put back, and for two of them, the masonry is actually gone — it was removed down below the roof level and the roof was then extended over it. Downing asked if the old shingles will be removed. Carlson confirmed this. IIe said there was plywood installed over the sheathing in the 1990s. IIe said they are assuming, based ou what they have seen, that the plywood sheathing is still in good shape. Carlson said it doesn't have to be in great shape, because they are putting the board and battens over it. He stated that anything that is really badly delaminated would be replaced, but he does not think they will see that at this point. Michaud asked if any insulation will be installed. Carlson said they have talked about it, but at this point they think it will not. He said the only insulation one would gel would be the foil that would reflect the heat back off. He said the church is not having a problem with the cooling load, and this will actually improve the cooling load. Carlson said that going back and installing the foil underneath will stop the transmittance of the moisture up. He said they are thinking they will lose more than they will gain. Wagner asked about staff s recommendation on the roof material. Miklo said staff recommends approval. Wagner asked Carlson if they would also be doing the steeple with this material. Carlson said they originally planned to do the steeple with this same metal. I-Ie said, however, that they talked to the roofer and found out that they make a triple -thick asphalt shingle that is almost a dead ringer for color and texture. Carlson said that it may lay better. He said that on the curve and the intersections, it may lay better. Wagner asked how the edges will be finished. He said that with the flat shingle, there would be a pretty good-sized gap there. Carlson replied that there is a J mold at the end on the ridge. He said that piece that is on there now would be replaced with a custom -folded J mold so that the shingle would slide in on both sides. Carlson said there would not therefore be a sealant joint at that point. Carlson said that with the original pitch of the church, those were wood battens on there, He said that has been there and really makes the steeple stand out. Carlson said that they have been discussing with the roofer whether the metal or the asphalt would be a better solution for the steeple. MOTION: Ackerson moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 30 North Clinton Street as presented in the application, with the following condition: provide roof edge details, including wood and metal components, for review and approval by Chair and staff. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (McMahon and Thomann absent). 4 Bella Vista Place Miklo said this property is a key property in the Brown Street Historic District and is located just north of Brown Street on Bella Vista Place. He said there is a garage and smal I breezeway on the south side of the house. Miklo said that about a year ago, the Commission approved the removal of the garage and the replacement of the garage with an addition to the house. Miklo said the homeowners have since decided they would rather preserve the structure and convert it to living space. He added that the proposal is to remove the pedestrian door, fill that in with windows, and then replace the garage door with windows and a pedestrian door. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 4 of 9 Miklo said that when this was last reviewed, the previous preservation consulting architect thought that the garage was not a significant element. He said that when she reviewed this, Chery Peterson felt that the garage was somewhat important as it is an attached garage that is either original to the house or was added early in its history. Miklo said Peterson therefore thought there was some merit to preserving the appearance. He said staff recommends approval subject to the area that currently contains the garage door being trimmed out and that the windows or doors mimic what was there before. He showed an example of a converted garage with a similar treatment that is located at Bowery and Clark Streets. Miklo said staff therefore recommends approval of this subject to chair and staff approving the details in terms of what would go in place of the original opening, Jennifer Wagner, one of the owners, said that the drawing doesn't show over the garage door coming down on the left, where there would also be divisions, lines coming down from the windows above. She said there would be three panels there, and the lower one in the example would be solid. Jennifer Wagner said that Peterson had shown them photographs of the French doors that staff felt would look good. She said she and her husband agreed with that assessnnent and propose to use a Weather Shield French panel three door. Michaud asked if it would work to have a half light divided on the top, because that would be a little closer to the four panel on the bottom and the six lights on top. Miklo said it would be closer, but the proposal now is to have this be similar to the Bowery Street property, where there would be more glass. He said it is not going to look like a garage, but at least the opening would be preserved. Michaud said she was taking climate control into consideration, because the area faces straight west. Jennifer Wagner said this is a valid point. Wagner suggested the Commission could approve either alternative -- mimicking the design that is there or using the French doors. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 4 Bella Vista Place, as presented in the application, with the following condition: provide final design, with door and window product information, for review and approval by Chair and staff, as necessary, for the three French doors or a design mimicking the original door panel. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (McMahon and Thomann absent) 523 Grant Street Miklo showed the location of the property on a map. Ile said the proposal is to remove a porch, which staff does not believe is original, off the back of the house, and replace it with a new addition/sh ucture. Miklo showed a design, stating that it is a little different than the one in the Commission packet in that it shows the removal of a window, the addition of a beam similar to the front porch, and shorter windows in another location. He said that staff would recommend this alternative or the one in the packet but would want to have it be as shown, similar to the front porch, and world like more details regarding the porch pillar. Miklo said Peterson felt that the one window was a little tight in its proposed location and might get a little bit awkward. He said that Peterson then suggested the new design, and staff is comfortable recommending either. Regarding the larger windows, Robertson, one of the owners, said that the idea is to try to tit a lot of different purposes into a small space, and one purpose is that kind of conservatory off the back. She said that the smaller windows would be fine, if that is what is preferred. Regarding the beam piece, Robertson said it should be there. Swaim asked if there is a step up to the door. Weitzel, the other homeowner, said there will probably not be a step up. He said that the diagonal line on the side of the drawing is the ground line right now. Baldridge asked if the original plan had a lower windowsill, Wcitzcl replied that in the first proposal, the windows on the elevation matched the original window on the right, which is a fairly large window. Robertson said the window on the south elevation still matches the ones on the south of the house. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 5 of 9 Downing said that a shorter window would have a higher sill. Weitzel said Peterson thought that might work better although he did not know if it was for Ion-, term adaptability or because they are smaller windows. Michaud asked if the door would have a half light on lop. Weitzel said that is the plan, instead of a full glass door. He said it will probably be a fiberglass door for ease of use and security. MOTION: Litton moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 523 Grant Street, as presented in the application but with either window design, with the following condition: provide final design details at the column and door, for review and approval by Chair and staff. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (McMahon and Thomann absent). I I I & 1 15 South Governor Street Swaim said these two properties are in the College Hill Conservation District. Miklo showed the location of the properties on a map. He said they are between College and Washington Streets on the west side of Governor Street. Miklo said I I I S. Governor is a classic foursquare house, and 115 S. Governor is a craftsman style house, built in the first quarter of the last century. Ile stated that both of these houses are contributing structures in the district. Miklo said the proposal is to remove both structures and replace them with a paternity house. Miklo stated that the Commission had received sketches of how that might look but not full, detailed plans. Ile showed an illustration of the back of the property. Miklo said the application proposal states that there are problems with the foundations of the two houses, and there was a report from an engineer indicating that there are some defects with the foundations. He said that staff and a consulting housing inspector viewed the houses with the applicant. Miklo said that for the most part, the foundations are not exposed, so that it is difficult to see. He said that in some locations, such as under the porch where the foundations are exposed, there is some slight deterioration but nothing unexpected in buildings of this age. Miklo said staff feels that although there has been some neglect to these properties in terms of maintenance and there are some issues with some of the additions that could be fixed, the main structures are still sound and repairable, Miklo stated that, according to the guidelines and what the Commission needs to follow in making a decision like this, there are basically three tests to determine if the application meets the guidelines. He said that one test is that the buildings are structurally unsound. Miklo said there is a report indicating that there are some defects. He added that the consulting architect, Peterson, and the consulting housing inspector agree that there are some defects but that the buildings are not structurally unsound. Miklo said, if the Commission answers yes to the first question, the second test is, are they irretrievable or irreparable. Ile said that again staff finds that the answer to that question is no — that the problems with the foundations and some of the other deterioration of these buildings could certainly be repaired. Miklo said there would be some expense involved, but that would be maintenance of the property. Miklo said the third question is whether the replacement building meets the design guidelines. He said that staff cannot really answer that question at this point, as the applicant did not want to spend the money to cone up with a design if there was not a possibility of removing the existing buildings. Miklo said that staff is therefore recommending that this application be denied, because it does not meet the guidelines in terms of two of the key tests, with the third test as yet unknown. He added that there is something called demolition by neglect, which would indicate that if the Commission does not approve this, there should be some repair taken. Miklo said that is something that the City's Inspection Department would look at before issuing new rental permits for these properties. Male asked Mulford, the applicant, if it is his opinion that these properties are structurally deficient. Mulford answered that he had an engineer come through, and the footings on both of the front porches have basically HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 6 of 9 decayed. He said when they laid all the supporting members of the structures, they laid them lengthwise across the entire house; they didn't take them from the house, lag theta to the house, and then run them out to supporting structures in the front. Mulford said the porches actually kind of swale and puddle; they puddle water whenever rain comes in from the side. He said the porches need a lot of work, and one of the porches has a crack up where it meets the house, and the siding is pulling away from the house, because the footing structures of the porches are deteriorating a lot faster than the actual foundation. Mulford said that on the back of 115 South Governor, the far left corner has actually settled two to three inches. He said it was an old deck converted into a kitchen. Mulford said the floor system needs some significant work. It needs to be jacked up. IIe said there is a good amount of foundation work, outside of the fact that they are not waterproofed. Mulford said they are all clay tile. Mulford said there is a significant amount of work that a foundation company would need to do to make these buildings last for more than five years. He said that at the rate they are going, five to ten years down the road they are going to start to have extreme amounts of damage. Ackerson asked about the clay tile. Mulford said there is a crawl space underneath the other side of it, but then that ends where it juts out a little bit, and then it is just open to air. IIe said there is a lattice that is just open. Michaud asked if the deterioration was just the corner piers or the entire porch. Mulford responded that just the corner piers where they are exposed to the elements. Downing said that periodic maintenance and repair are necessary for any building. The defects do not rise to the level requiring the demolition of the entire structure. He said the Commission sees a lot of porch repair. Downing added that a five-year life span on a 90-year-old clay tile foundation is probably an exaggeration. He said that a large percentage of houses in this area have clay tile foundations, and he wouldn't say that they are going to collapse in the next five years. Mulford said he does not mean the entire foundation but just certain areas. He said the clay tiles in the back corner and some of the clay tiles in the front porches have deteriorated. Michaud asked how the houses are classified for rent. Mulford said they have been grandfathered in as rooming houses, which are allowed one person per bedroom. He said one house has seven bedrooms, and the other has eight. Wagner said this was discussed at a previous Commission meeting, and he asked what had changed, Miklo responded that this involves an actual application, whereas that was just an informational discussion. Mulford said that if this is approved for a certificate of appropriateness for demolition, he would like to construct a building to be consistent with the neighborhood. He said there are at least four sororities in that neighborhood, and this neighborhood is there to prescive the Greek society. Mulford said he would basically be adding to the Greek society by putting a new structure here, something similar to the Alpha Chi house that was demolished in the tornado and then redone. Swaim said the commission will evaluate this based on the guidelines contained in the Historic Preservation Handbook. Laurian asked if there is a requirement that an owner keep up his property, or if an owner can let it go for another ten years and then say that it needs to be demolished. Mildo answered that the City's requirements do have a provision regarding demolition by neglect. He said that the Iistoric, Preservation Commission can certainly ask the Housing Inspection Department to take a closer look at these properties, in terms of what needs to be done to stabilize the porches, etc. Michaud said it was crucial to repair the kitchen deck area. MOTION: Downing moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 111 and 115 South Governor Street. Litton seconded the motion. Baker stated that the guidelines seem very clear in this type of situation. Looking at section 7.1 of the Historic Preservation Iandbook, she said that removing any primary building is disallowed unless it meets the criteria. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 7 of 9 Regarding whether the buildings are unsound, Baker said there are clearly some things that need to be repaired. Regarding whether the buildings are irreparable, she stated that there are enough people at the table with experience in this who would say that it will cost some money, but the porches and kitchen and those kinds of things are reparable, and we have not seen a replacement plan. Regarding demolition by neglect, Baker said the guidelines in point two require that all structures in conservation and historic districts must be preserved against decay and deterioration to prevent demolition by neglect. She said that because the problems are not insurmountable, she does not think there is justification to make an allowance here. Baker said the Commission has disallowed the demolition of houses that are in worse repair than these two houses. She said there is no precedent to make an exception here. Ackerson asked how the City would guarantee there would not be demolish by neglect. Miklo commented that the City has a couple of tools in this regard. He said the City could cite the owners) for violating this clause, and there is also the possibility that the City might not renew or might pull the rental permits if inspectors find that this repair wort: is not done. The motion failed on a vote of 0-8 (McMahon and Thomann absent). MOTION: Baker moved that the Commission request that the Iowa City Housing Department inspect these properties for repairs and defects. Michaud seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (McMahon and Thomann absent). REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF: Miklo said there were a number of certificates of no material affect for which repairs were approved. He said he would answer any questions from Commission members. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTON POTENTIAL LOCAL. HISTORIC DISTRICTS. Miklo said that the Commission is exploring both Jefferson Street and the Melrose Neighborhood as historic districts and is doing some of the research and legwork at this point, before going public with the proposals. Jefferson Street National Historic District. Swaim said the subcommittee has not discussed this district further but has focused on the Melrose historic district Melrose National Historic District. Swaim stated that Walker had volunteered to give the Commission members a walking tour of the Melrose Neighborhood. Swaim said that four or five Commission members went on the tour and that it was very educational. Swaim said that she and Miklo recently met with several members of the Melrose Neighborhood Executive Board for about two hours. She said the members wanted to have some basic questions answered, and it was a very helpful discussion. Swaim said there will be a neighborhood -wide meeting at some point to discuss the proposal and what it will mean. Walker thanked Swaim and Miklo for their presentation and said it was excellent. Walker commented that neighborhood members would be happy to do walking tours with members of the City Council as well as with University officials. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR MAY 10, 2012 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION APRIL 12, 2012 Page 8 of 9 MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's May 10, 2012 meeting, as written.
