Proposed work includes construction of wood deck of sie 16' x 12' on the back of the house. Apl2licable Regulations and Guidelines: 5.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Additions An addition to a historic house is often required to accommodate an expanding family, home office or modern lifestyle. These guidelines are for additions that expand the interior living space or building footprint, as well as for other attached structures such as new porches, decks and ramps. 5.2 Decks and Rarnps Decks and ramps are features that are not typical to historic structures. The}' are modern inventions designed to meet the needs of our modern lifestyle and building codes. As such, it is not necessary that they duplicate the details of the building to which they are attached. However, they should be as unobtrusive as possible. Ramps may be approved that accommodate reasonable access and use by disabled occupants provided they do not significantly alter or detract from the historic character of the building. The Historic Preservation Commission will work with applicants to find designs that will accommodate their needs and that are compatible with the historic character of the building. Recommended: Deckj- • Locating a new deck on the back of a primary building, opposite the street -facing facade and set in from the side walls at least 8 inches. • Designing decks so that the size, scale and location do not detract from the character of the district's rear yards, if significant to the district. • Attaching decks to the building in a manner that will not damage a historic exterior wall or, other historic materials, or cause wood siding to deteriorate. • Following the guidelines in section 4.10 Baluslilades and Handrails. • If creating a screened porch structure, following the guidelines for porches in section 5.1 Expansion o Buildins Footprint. Disallowed: Decki- ■ Constructing a deck between the street and the street -facing facade if it detracts from the neighborhood or is not compatible with the architectural style of the existing building. ■ Leaving balusters and railings unpainted if they are highly visible from the street. Staff Comments Because this deck will be low to the ground and will not have a railing, in staffs view, this addition will be minimal change in appearance.

Staff Report Historic Review for 1501 Center Avenue District: Longfellow Historic District Classification: Contributing April 21, 2005 Applicant, Sarah Lussman, is requesting approval of Certificate of Appropriateness for proposed alteration at 1501 Center Avenue, a contributing property in the Summit Street Historic District. Proposed work includes replacement of windows with metal -clad wood windows and removal of storm windows. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.7 Windows Recommended: Historic windows ■ Preserving the historic windows by repairing sashes and frames. ■ Retaining historic window frames and replacing badly deteriorated sashes with new sashes that match the historic ones. Replacement windows ■ Replacing badly deteriorated windows with new ones that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided -lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. • Using new wood windows and sashes, if necessary, to replace historic wood windows and sashes. The use of metal - clad, solid -wood windows is acceptable. Replacement windows and trim must accept paint. Divided -lights may be created with muntin bars that are adhered to both sides of the glass, but not with snap -in muntin bars. ■ Replacing a bedroom window, if required for egress by the Building Code, with a new one that matches the size, trim, use of divided -lights, and overall appearance of the previous bedroom window or other windows in the house. New windows • Adding windows that match the type, proportions, trim, and appearance of the historic windows. The sash width must be similar to that of the original windows. • Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. Storm windows • Installing traditional wood storm windows and screens on older buildings. • Installing wood -frame combination storm windows with screens that resemble traditional wood storm windows. The use of metal -clad, wood -frame combination storm windows is acceptable. Storm windows must accept paint. Disallowed: New and replacement windows ■ Installing modem types of windows including sliding, awning, casement, and bay windows when they were not original to the building, consistent with the architectural style, or required for egress. ■ Installing metal, vinyl clad or vinyl windows when they were not original to the building. ■ Using snap -in muntin bars to achieve the appearance of divided -lights. Not Recommended: Storm windows • Installing exterior metal or vinyl storm windows. Exceptions: Applies to: Historic District, Noncontributing, Conservation Districts, All properties • Vinyl or vinyl clad wood windows may be used for replacement of basement windows provided the foundation wall is no more than 18 inches above grade. Staff Comments Applicant has proposed to use vertical light top sash. It appears, that original windows on this house did not have muntin bars in the top sash, however staff feels that use of divided -lights would be consistent with the similar houses in the neighborhood and in general consistent with guidelines. Appropriate trite should be used for all the windows to match the style, appearance and material of similar historic houses. Recommendations Staff recommends approval of Certificate of Appropriateness.

Because the carport is eliminated new construction adds only one additional car space. The third car garage would be set -back to the west and south maintaining the present visual lines of the garage as viewed from Summit Street. We would propose individual garage doors using the general appearance contours of the Kuenzli garage at 709 Summit Street as a model. The third garage space would be "set back" so that the present roof lines of the structure would be maintained. See drawings. The drawings demonstrate the careful conservation of the yard without creating further concrete apron maintaining the beauty of the space. Part of the present apron is absorbed into the new construction. Thus the new contruction only adds 1/3rd to the present square footage of space. Materials Used: The contractor will use foundational materials, structural studs, bracing, and roofing materials appropriate following the building codes of Iowa City. The siding will be the 6 and 1/2 inch shiplath siding of the type covering the original garage since these are available from Hawkeye Lumber. Exterior appearance changes: From the Summit Street view, the garage will look the same by its external contours. The unsightly carport will be removed allowing the present outlines to be enhanced. The added dimension of the single doors rather than the double door of modern construction. The single doors add a special historic appearance. The addition of concrete apron is minimal and add nothing to the street view of the garage. -Summit St - - --- - -- o W ca I Q- --- I in �x Q I I I I i I I zLU I I F= Q I I 92 I E I w� I cn - -- - - — LO 77 0 0 ro m a� 0 v -- --N - -- - --- --� -,. o(D N t U C O) ro E o O C O) O _ ro N + N X m� m N Nt Olt : N� UU CO Yy O)C N X E N r- O 00 N \ N w � \ �� E o CU D Staff Report April 21, 2005 Historic Review for 715 Summit Street District: Summit Street Historic District Classification: Contributing Applicants, Charles and jo Ann Hawtrey, are requesting approval of Certificate of Appropriateness for proposed new construction at their property at 715 Summit Street, a contributing property in the Summit Street Historic District. Proposed work would enlarge the footprint of the existing outbuilding — a garage. The addition to the outbuilding would be approximately of size 20' 4" x 36' 4". Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 6.0 Iowa City Guidelines for New Construction Most new structures constructed in Iowa City's historic neighborhoods are garages or other outbuildings. Although most of the lots in these neighborhoods are developed, occasionally the opportunity to construct a new prim -nary structure on a vacant lot may arise, or to replace a nonhistoric building or a building that has been destroyed. These guidelines are intended to ensure that new buildings are compatible with the character of the neighborhood. Proposed new buildings must also comply with 8.0 Neighborhood District Guidelines, which are used to determine the appropriate size, scale, site location and architectural style of the new building. These factors are dependent on the character of the surrounding neighborhood and district, and therefore are not addressed in this section. 6.2 New Outbuildings Recommended: Design ■ Placing new outbuildings, including garages, to the rear of the primary building. ■ Constructing garages and other outbuildings that are clearly subordinate in size and ornamentation to the primary structure. ■ Constructing new outbuildings that reflect the style of the primary structure. Garage doore ■ Installing garage doors that are simple in design. Smooth or simple panel -type garage doors may be used. • Adding trim around the garage door openings that matches the trim of other doors and windows on the building. ■ Installing single -car garage doors. Double -car garage doors are discouraged. Not Recommended: Attached garages ■ Constructing garages attached to the primary building. Staff Comments With this addition, the resulting outbuilding will be considerably larger, and with the three doors the car garage will have a different appearance then the existing garage. However, the addition to the outbuilding is, in general, consistent with the guidelines. The applicant has not provided inforination about the material for the entry door, garage door and windows. The style, material and appearance of the doors and windows should thatch similar structures in the neighborhood or may be styled after those on the house. This is also true for the decorative elements such as trim used on the openings and corners. Recommendations Staff recommends approval of Certificate of Appropriateness, subject to adherence to project description provided in the application.

Proposed work includes demolition of a historic barn. The applicant has proposed to further subdivide the property, and is considering construction of a mixed -use structure in place of the barn. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 7.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Demolition A Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of any primary building on a contributing property within, a conservation or historic district, or any landmark, will be denied unless the applicant can demonstrate that the building is structurally unsound and irretrievable. A decision to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of outbuildings on contributing and noncontributing properties, and pritnary buildings on noncontributing properties, will be made on a case -by -case basis. For these cases, the Commission will consider the condition, integrity and architectural significance of the outbuilding or noncontributing building. A Certificate of Appropriateness is also required for the removal of any portion of a building, such as a porch, porch balustrade, decorative brackets and trim, dormers, chimney or other architecturally significant components on any structure within a district, or on any landmark. Before a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition will be approved for a primary building, the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission must approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the building that will replace the one being demolished. This is true for primary buildings located on'contributing and noncontributing properties. Recommended: ■ Removing additions or alterations that are not historic and that significantly detract from the building's historic character. ■ Removing nonhistoric buildings and structures that detract from the historic character of a district. Such buildings should be replaced with buildings that are more compatible with the district. ■ Removing portions of a building that are structurally unsound and are a safety hazard. • Saving and storing on site any historic architectural features such as windows, doors and trim that are removed from a building or structure. Disallowed: ■ Demolishing any primary building on a contributing property within a conservation or historic district, or any Iowa City Historic Landmark. ■ Removing any historic architectural feature, such as a porch, chimney, bay window, dormer, brackets or decorative trim, that is significant to the architectural character and style of the building. Not Recommended: ■ Removing significant historic site features on the property such as brick driveways and iron fences. Staff Comments As part of the local landmark designation the house and the barn both are prominent structures. The condition of the barn has been documented (photographs) in 2004. A cotninittee of Commission members visited last year to inspect the condition. Since then, as per the applicant, the barn has further deteriorated. The applicant has provided conceptual sketches of the proposed complex that will be constructed on a lot, which will be part proposed subdivision. The applicant is in pre -application stages and in contact PCD staff for this rezoning and subdivision proposal. Recommendations Staff recommends deferral until complete drawings are furnished and subject to approval of the proposed replacement structure further recommends approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness.

Proposed work includes removal of crumbling concrete steps on the front porch and reconstruction of the steps ,vith wood and addition of wooden railing. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.9 Porches Recommended: Histofic poirhes ■ Using vertical -grained fir porch flooring for its resistance to weathering. ■ Using wood steps for a wood porch and tile, brick, or concrete steps for a masonry porch. ■ Leaving exposed the support piers below the porch columns. Skirting must be added to fill the space below the porch floor and grade if this space is 24 inches or greater. The skirt must be located between the porch piers. ■ Constructing porch skirting using a 3-6 inch wood frame with slats fastened to the back of the frame in a vertical or lattice pattern. lllood substttutei- ■ Substituting a material in place of wood only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute trust be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Flistoric Preservation Commission. Disallowed: New materials ■ Using unpainted treated wood for elements that would have been painted in their historic applications. 4.10 Balustrades and Handrails Balustrades (guardrails) and handrails serve as both decorative and functional elements on porches, balconies, and steps. For historic properties, the design should be consistent with the architectural style, but not at the expense of safety. Recommended: Historic balustrades and handrails ■ Repairing historic balustrades and railings. ■ Replacing badly deteriorated components with ones that match the historic components in design and material. New balustrades and handrails ■ Constructing or replacing missing balustrades by using historic photographs or by choosing a style that is consistent with the architectural style of the building. ■ Installing turned balusters in balustrades that have an actual diameter of 2 inches or greater, or square spindles that are 1-1/2 inches or greater in width. ■ Installing top and foot rails that are at least 2 inches in thickness. These can be made with 3/4-inch and 5/4-111ch lumber glued together. ■ On buildings where a spindled balustrade would be most consistent with the architectural style, spacing spindles so that the balustrade is at least 40% solid. Spindles must be spaced so that no gap between the spindles exceeds 4 inches as required by the building code. This is for child safety. ■ Providing handrails on porch steps as required by the building code. Handrails should match the historic balustrade height on the porch unless otherwise specified by the building code. The handrail must have a continuous rucmber that can be easily gripped. The handrail should either match the porch balustrade or be made of round steel pipe. • Providing balustrades on the porch as required by the building code. When the porch floor is more than 30 inches above grade, the balustrade must be 42 inches high except for single-family and duplex structures where it may be as low as 36 inches. ■ Sloping the top and foot rails slightly to allow water to be shed from these surfaces and help prevent deterioration of these members. Disallowed: Hisloric baluslizader and handrails ■ Removing historic balustrades or railings. • Covering the historic balustrades or railings with materials such as siding. Ne1v balu.sli-ades and handrails • Using unpainted treated wood for elements that would have been painted in'the historic application. • Using wrought iron elements unless they were part of the historic design. Staff Comments Applicant has proposed to use material and style to match the existing porch railing and column, as discussed with staff in pre -application meeting. This is another simple alteration of such nature where replacement of stairs and installation of railing for safety is proposed. Recommendations The Certificate of Appropriateness be approved per the application. MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 2005 EMMA J HARVAT HALL Preliminary MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Brennan, Richard Carlson, James Enloe, Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Ponto MEMBERS ABSENT: Justin Pardekooper, Amy Smothers STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Sunil Terdalkar OTHERS PRESENT: David Arkush, Hope Barton, James Barton, Marsha Berentson, Helen Burford, Jeff Clark, Jennifer Glass, Ted Heald, Shelley McCafferty, Mike McLaughlin, Jeff Nerad, Chris Newhall, Jon Ringen, Ian Scott, Tim Weaver, Dan Willis CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Maharry called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION: Certificate of Appropriateness: The following items were deferred to the Commission's next meeting: 807 E. Washington Street, 924 E. Washington Street, 932 E. Washington Street, 806 E. College Street, 917 E. College Street, 923 E. College Street, and 927 E. College Street. 611 Oakland Avenue. Terdalkar said that this is an application for the addition of an outbuilding, a two -car garage. He said the house is a contributing structure in the Longfellow Historic District, and the architectural style of the house when it was built was bungalow style with some influence of 19th century and 201h century American houses. Terdalkar said the applicant proposes the use of vinyl siding and wood windows for the structure, which will be in the back yard of the property. He said the size of the structure will be 30 feet by 34 feet. Enloe said the staff report refers to exceptions for vinyl siding in conservation districts; however, this property is in a historic district, and the property is contributing. He said that vinyl siding is not allowed in this instance. Carlson said that was also his understanding, but in fact under new outbuildings, there is very little in the way of recommended or disallowed. He stated that vinyl is not expressly disallowed, although that is implied because in the exceptions for conservation districts, the guidelines say that synthetic siding may be used on new outbuildings, which implies that it is not allowed in historic districts. Carlson said there is no explicit statement disallowing vinyl on new outbuildings in historic districts. Gunn said that exceptions apply only where they are spelled out, so one can assume that if it is not expressly allowed in the language, it is disallowed. He said the exceptions apply only where they are listed. Maharry asked Weaver, the owner, if he had pursued other thoughts or designs. Maharry provided a drawing of another possibility for the garage. He said that in its current form, the proposed garage does not reflect the style of the primary structure, but the drawing shows the same dimensions and would better reflect the style of the house. Weaver asked if the roof proposed by Maharry would be a hip roof, and Maharry confirmed that it would be a hip roof from north to south. Weaver said that.the house has gable ends on it. Brennan asked what kind of siding is currently on the house. Weaver responded that there are two different kinds of siding on the house. He said the siding on the upper story is vinyl siding that he would like to match for his garage. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 2 Enloe said the Commission also needs to consider the mass of the structure in relationship to the size of the house. He said the garage would be wider than the house but not quite as long as the house. Weaver thought that the Code requires that the garage take up no more than a certain percentage of the yard — perhaps 40%. Terdalkar said the rule is about 30% of the setback and is not about the site of the structure but is about how much of the setback can be covered. Maharry said it is recommended to construct garages and outbuildings that are clearly subordinate in size and orientation to the primary structure. Carlson said this would be clearly subordinate in height. Carlson said his basic feeling is that the design as proposed would not fit in with the craftsman -style house. He said the gable roof does, but the doors don't, the octagonal window doesn't, and the little windows along the side don't. Carlson said the size of the garage is not as much of an issue to him as the design is. He suggested that the windows, the octagonal window, and the shape of the doors be replaced with something more fitting to the structure and that vinyl siding not be used. Weaver asked if the vinyl siding would be grandfathered in, because it is already used on the exterior upper level of the house. Carlson said it would not be allowed for a new structure. Weaver asked about siding for the entire house. He said the original siding was removed, and the lower level is sided with aluminum that has been badly dented by hail. Gunn said that the Commission allows fiber cement board as a reasonable substitute that holds paint for up to 20 years. He said that vinyl siding is disallowed in historic districts, and the Commission has been consistent on that. Gunn agreed with Carlson that the details need work. Gunn said the doors should be trimmed in a little wider trim, like cornerboards. He said that what is drawn as brick mold should be one by four trim instead. Weaver said the design proposed by Maharry shows eaves that are comparable to exposed rafters. He asked if that would be required, as it is difficult to do. Weaver said the exposed rafters on the house are actually aluminum clad, each rafter individually. Maharry said they are original to the house and are therefore a distinctive feature to the house. He said the guidelines discuss the fact that the project should have similar characteristics to the house. Ponto said it should reflect the style but be subordinate in ornamentation. Maharry said that having none would clearly be subordinate. Enloe asked Weaver if he would be willing to change the details of the project. Weaver said he supposed he would. He asked about the side view in Maharry's drawing and if he could have two windows on either side of a central door on the side view. Carlson said that would be fine, as it would still be in character. Gunn added that the windows could be a little smaller than those in the drawing and still be fitting with the historic character. Weaver asked if the exposed rafter ends would be necessary. Gunn and Carlson said they did not feel exposed rafter ends would be necessary. Weaver asked if a Dutch lap cement board is available. Gunn said it is made but was unavailable the last time he looked for it. Weaver said that what the Commission is seeing as an octagonal window is actually a vent. MOTION: Gunn moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the addition of a two -car garage at 611 Oakland Avenue with the stipulations that the siding must be wood siding or fiber cement board; that the trim for the cornerboards, overhead doors, and walk -door windows be approximately three and one-half inch wide flat trim; that the walk -door be of a panel -type construction and be paintable; that the windows be wood or metal -clad wood windows that appear like historic windows as small, rectangular windows; that there be no cut corners on the garage doors; and that the vents in the gable ends be rectangular. Ponto seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 732 Dearborn Street. Terdalkar said this property is a contributing structure in the Dearborn Street Conservation District. He said the proposal is for an alteration to the back porch of the house. Terdalkar said the owner plans to remove the siding on the east and enlarge the porch floor. Historic Preservatiori Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 3 Newhall, the owner of the property, said the expansion of the porch would be on both sides of the porch but would still fall under the porch roof. She said the little piece of wall to the right, which is not original to the house, would be removed. Maharry asked if the foundation cement block would be reused. Newhall confirmed this. Maharry asked if the skirting would be redone, and Newhall confirmed this. Carlson asked if the actual supports would be treated wood. Newhall said they would be treated wood. She said they would be hidden behind the cement blocks and the skirting. MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the alteration of a porch at 732 Dearborn Street. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Maharry welcomed Michael Brennan as the newest Commission member. 706 Clark Street. Terdalkar stated that this property is a contributing structure in the Clark Street Conservation District. He said that this is a single-family house. Terdalkar said the house reflects the 19th century revival style with some influence of the cottage style. He said the proposal is to demolish the existing garage and replace it with a new, two -car garage. Hope Barton said the person who worked for the second owners of the property informed her that the cupola was not original to the garage. James Barton said the current garage is listing and is rotting at the bottom. He said the floor is two-inch concrete and is not reinforced. Gunn said that from the outside, it appears that there is no foundation or footings, just a slab. He said that one can see considerable settling, sagging, and deterioration of the lower half of the garage. Gunn said the roof appears to be sagging and rotting, and the garage is not in good condition by any means. Enloe asked if the garage is salvageable. James Barton said he did not plan to spend any money on it. Gunn said his opinion is that the garage is not salvageable. He said that anything is salvageable to a degree, but by the time this was salvaged, there would be almost nothing left of the original materials. Carlson said that for a proposed demolition, the Commission is to consider the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the outbuilding. He said that in this case, he would say that all three are marginal. Carlson said the garage contributes to the property but to a limited extent. Brennan said there is also the consideration that if the Commission requires the preservation of the current garage, two small garages sitting next to each other would look very strange. Carlson said the proposed garage does not look like it would go with a 1940s house. Maharry distributed a drawing of an alternate proposal. Gunn stated that there are a few things that make garages fit in well in many of the older neighborhoods, including: a little higher roof pitch than is commonly used today, using wider, flat trim rather than brick mold; cornerboards and frames on doors and windows; windows that are relatively small and rectangular; and smaller garage doors — single doors rather than double doors. He said he would look for those things in this proposal. Gunn said it would not dramatically alter the project but would just trim things a little differently. He added that vinyl siding is not an issue here, as it is allowed in conservation districts. Enloe said the owner's proposal shows the windows to be wider than they are tall, but they should be oriented the other way. James Barton asked if windows would be required, as he considered not having them for security reasons. Ponto said the guidelines do not require windows on a garage. Gunn said that at least on the side that is approached from the house, the owner would want windows for natural light. He said he thought that architecturally the Commission can say the garage should have windows, and the Commission would prefer to have some small windows. Weaver asked about the requirements for a steeper roof. Enloe said it should have a six:twelve pitch. Gunn said the garage doors should be smooth or of a simple paneled construction. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 4 MOTION: Gunn moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the construction of a two - car garage at 706 Clark Street with the stipulations that the roof be of a six:twelve pitch; that there be three and one-half inch trim on the corners, overhead doors, walk doors, and windows; that the walk door be of a panel -type construction; and with the recommendation for rectangular, small windows on the three sides without the overhead doors. Enloe seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. MOTION: McCallum moved to .approve a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of the present garage at 706 Clark Street. Ponto seconded the motion. Enloe said he would vote against this, because he felt that while the destruction of this building might not be a great loss, the garage is not falling in on itself. Gunn said he visited the garage earlier in the evening. He said it appears to have no footings, the floor appears to be broken and settling significantly, the bottom half of the garage appeared wet and rotted, the roof was sagging, and the siding was in poor condition. Gunn said he did not feel it was worth saving and would vote in favor of the demolition permit. Carlson. said he would have preferred to see more evidence of the garage's condition as part of the application. The motion carried on a vote of 5-2, with Carlson and Enloe votina no. 531 Clark Street. Terdalkar stated that this property is a contributing structure in the Clark Street Conservation District. He said the house was built between 1939 and 1941. Terdalkar said the house has influences of Cape Cod cottage and 19th century/20th century revival style. Terdalkar said the proposed alterations include the replacement of windows on the front and the side and installation of a skylight in the rear. Scott, the owner of the house, said he wants to replace windows in the two bedrooms upstairs. He said there is a bedroom where each of the dormers is, and he would like to replace the three windows to each bedroom. Scott stated that the north side windows are actually pretty rotten, with a lot of mildew in them. He said the previous owners used double aluminum screens that catch a lot of water and don't work at all. Scott said he would like to install Andersen windows that have the same mullions as the windows on the first floor, which have already been replaced. Regarding the skylight, he said there is a hallway upstairs with no natural light, so he would like to install a small dome on the rear elevation. McCallum said he installed such a dome, and the Building Department said he did not need a building permit because it would not cut between joists. Maharry asked about the back of the house. Scott said there was an addition to the rear about ten years ago. Carlson asked how many of the windows are in bad repair. Scott responded that the two above the bay on the north side don't get any light and are not in good shape. He said the south windows get more light, which keeps them dryer, but the screens don't function at all. Scott said that some of them have cracked panes, but he was unable to save them. Carlson said the sash there seems to be one of the few original fenestration details on the house. He said the door has been replaced, and the lower windows except in the bay have been replaced. Scott said that the shutters are replacements. He said the dormers on the front do not have original screens. MOTION: McCallum moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the replacement of windows and the installation of a skylight on the rear elevation at 531 Clark Street, as proposed. Ponto seconded the motion. Carlson asked if the window replacements would be wood windows. Scott said they are wood on the interior, and on the exterior a polymer would be used, but only a small percentage would be seen, as the Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 5 contractor will be putting exterior trim around the windows. Carlson said there are a lot of vinyl components in the windows. Gunn said that vinyl windows are acceptable in a conservation district. The motion carried on a vote of 6-1, with Carlson voting no. 330 South Lucas. Terdalkar said that this property is a non-contributing structure in the Lucas/Governor Conservation District. He said the proposed work is to replace the masonite siding with vinyl siding on one of the sections of the building. Maharry asked about the plans for the trim around the windows, the cornerboards. Willis, the owner of the house, said he would use a contrasting color of vinyl. Carlson stated that even if a property is non-contributing, the project has to meet four criteria for the Commission to be able to approve synthetic siding. He asked if the source of the moisture that caused damage has been remedied. Willis said the masonite siding that was supposed to hold up did not, and the company that made it has gone out of business. Carlson said that historic, architectural features such as window trim, brackets, moldings, rafter tails, columns, balusters, and similar details should not be covered, removed, cut, or otherwise damaged. Willis said they have mostly been removed or damaged and have been covered with aluminum clad already, which will not be removed. He said the aluminum wrap around the windows will remain the same. Willis said there will not be a J trim right up against it; it will still have the white one -by trim around it. Carlson said staff recommends that the clapboard have an exposure of three to five inches to make it look more historic. Willis said he thought a five -inch would be a more preferable lap but said he was flexible on that. Carlson said the trimboards should extend in front of the face of the siding. Gunn said there should be a four -inch trim around the windows that is exposed. Willis said he would be leaving that. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the replacement of siding at 330 South Lucas Street, as proposed. Carlson seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 720 East Washington Street. Terdalkar stated that this is a non-contributing structure in the College Hill Conservation District. He said the proposal is for the demolition of a garage and the addition of a bedroom to the house. Clark, the owner of the house, said he did not know when the house or the garage were built. Carlson said he believed the house was built in the 1930s or 1940s, but because the garage has a poured concrete foundation, he believed the garage was constructed in the last 40 to 50 years. Carlson said there appeared to be no structural problems with the garage. Clark said this is more of a parking issue and an issue with the addition. He said the garage is in good shape, but it has low headroom so that only a low -setting car can be parked there. Clark added that this will be a rental and will therefore be student occupied so that there will be more than two cars there. He said that would cause a parking problem if he cannot provide parking in the back. Enloe said that the guidelines state that the Commission makes decisions on a case -by -case basis, considering the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the outbuilding or non-contributing building. Regarding architectural significance, Carlson said it is difficult to make a judgment without going inside. He said that right now there is nothing exposed on the exterior that says that this is anything more than 30 or 40 years old. Carlson said the garage doesn't match the house and in his opinion doesn't contribute to the architectural significance of the property as a whole. He said he is a little leery of voting in favor of demolition without having a better idea of exactly what is there. Maharry said he agreed that the garage doesn't have significant architectural features so that its absence won't detract from the character of the neighborhood or the overall property. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of the garage at 720 East Washington Street. McCallum seconded the motion. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 6 Enloe said he did not want to see a perfectly solid structure torn down for mere convenience. He said that is antithetical to the whole idea of conservation and historic districts. Regarding its architectural significance, Enloe said he does not have enough information to make a judgment on that. Enloe said that the scale of the garage is not that of a modern, recent garage. Terdalkar said this style of house was popular in the 1930s in Iowa City. He said this house is one of the few examples of this style of architecture. Terdalkar stated that the survey said it could be considered a contributing structure, but a later survey did not include it as a contributing structure. Miklo said that the Commission should rely on the later survey. Clark said that the garage is not unusual in the interior and looks like a standard garage. He said the outside would have aluminum siding if it is the same as the house. Clark said the garage would be unusable, whether it is torn down or not. Miklo stated that the whole intent of a conservation district is to conserve the general character of a neighborhood. He said that given the nondescript character of this garage, which is fairly small and does not represent any particular style, the Commission will want to look at the big picture. The motion carried on a vote of 5-2 with Carlson and Enloe voting no. Carlson stated that the shed is also scheduled for removal. Clark said the shed is less than 12 by 12. McCallum said that a permit is not needed to build a shed of this size. Maharry said that if the shed is not mentioned in the survey as important to the property, then it was deemed not important to the property. MOTION: Gunn moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of the shed at 720 East Washington. Enloe seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 5-2 with Carlson and Enloe votina no. Carlson said he would need more information to vote to demolish the shed. Regarding the proposed new addition, Gunn said the materials appear to be consistent with what is there. Clark said there is actually aluminum siding on the house, and he plans to use hardi-plank on the new addition. He said the windows on the new addition will be wrapped with the one by four. Maharry distributed a drawing for plans with a little more detail on the trim. Clark said he could put cornerboards on the house. He said the two roofs would be tied together with a roofline pitching out to run the water out. Carlson said the hardi-plank siding would be fine. He said that vinyl windows are not permitted even on a non-contributing building in a conservation district. Gunn said that vinyl clad windows are acceptable. Carlson said that was okay for basement windows but not for main windows. Ponto said that the disallowed category includes metal, vinyl clad, or vinyl windows when not original to the building. Carlson said the only exception under windows for all properties in conservation districts is for basement windows, which may be vinyl, so that windows must be wood or wood clad even on non-contributing windows in a conservation district. McCallum asked Clark how he felt about the alternative drawing. Clark.said that for the roof, he planned to have basically going up to the back side a diamond plane coming out. He said there is really no way to slope it to get the water out of there otherwise. McCallum said the alternative drawing would extend the roof out from the original to give it a nicer, cleaner look, and there would not be an ice dam issue. Clark said he would agree to that plan. Carlson said there was a comment in the paperwork about existing windows being replaced to meet egress. Clark stated that one window in each of the three bedrooms might have to be replaced and made slightly larger to meet egress, although he had not yet had the opportunity to measure the windows. He said if he did have to replace the windows, he would match them to what is there. Clark said they would have the same gridlines, and if they are currently wrapped with the one by four siding, they will be rewrapped. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 7 MOTION: McCallum moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an addition at 720 East Washington Street with the stipulations that it conform to the revised drawing, that the windows be wood or metal clad wood windows, that the siding be wood siding or hardi-plank, and that any egress windows that may be required to be installed match the current windows. Gunn seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 1133 East Court Street. Terdalkar stated that this is a contributing structure in the Longfellow Historic District. He said the proposal is to add an upper deck on the rear side of the house, with material to match the existing deck. Terdalkar said there would also be a railing on the second story, as required by the Building Code. Glass, the owner of the house, said the deck is too small and does not extend across the rear of the house. She said she would like to lower the deck a step or two so that it does not cut off in the middle of the windows. Glass said that other than that, it will be a horizontal extension of what is already there. Maharry said the current railing is a synthetic vinyl/plastic-type railing. Glass confirmed this and said she would like to use the same material. Maharry asked if there is currently a railing attached to the second floor, and Glass said there is not. Maharry said the Commission might want to use a different material for the railing that is attached to the house. MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 1133 East Court Street, with the stipulation that the upper story railing be made of an appropriate wood material but allowing the continuation of the non-traditional material on the lower deck. McCallum seconded the motion. Carlson said this would have to meet the guidelines for balusters. He said he was hesitant to approve this without seeing a design but said the Commission could approve something that would involve square spindles. Glass said she wanted to do something on the top that would match the bottom. Gunn said the Commission could site Section 4.10 and state that the railing would have to satisfy the section with regard to balustrades and handrails. Maharry said that language should be included in the certificate. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 1223 Seymour Avenue. Terdalkar said that this is a contributing structure in the Longfellow Historic District. He said the proposal is for adding a railing to the front stairs and replacing the stairs with wood. Ringen, the owner of the house, said that the current concrete steps are deteriorating because of a ground heave and need to be replaced. Enloe asked what comprised the current railing. Ringen said the railings are iron sunk in the concrete. Maharry said the drawing mostly matches the design, but there is sort of a little inset. Ringen said the contractor actually plans to build the stairs without that, but the drawings were taken from an example on Summit Street. He said he plans to recreate the current column that is there. Enloe said he is a little concerned with the removal of historic balustrades and railings issue. He said the language in the guidelines explicitly disallows this. Miklo said there is a good possibility that those are from a much later period than the house. He said the turned wrought iron was more common in the 1950s and 1960s. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the addition of a railing and the replacement of concrete steps with wood steps at 1223 Seymour Avenue, with the stipulation that the newel posts be simple and reflect the porch columns. McCallum seconded the motion. Carlson asked if the Commission would require spindles, because they would historically be on a handrail like this. Miklo said he believed that spindles would be required by the Building Code. MOTION: Ponto amended the motion to require that spindles meet the guidelines if they are required. McCallum seconded the amendment. The amended motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 8 415 Brown Street. Terdalkar stated that this is a contributing structure in the Brown Street Historic District. He said the proposal is to enclose a screen porch to make it a habitable room. Nerad, the owner of the property, said he plans to enclose the existing screen porch, which was added in the 1960s or 1970s. He said he plans to put up walls and windows to match, and this will also give him a chance to restore the roofline a little better on the gables. Nerad said he will use windows that match in proportion and shape and will allow spacing between windows to use the identical trimwork. He said he would like to use Pella aluminum -clad double hung windows. Gunn asked if the old foundation is rusticated block. Nerad replied that it is the original block on the porch, and there are footings in place. He said there is also limestone block. Gunn said the limestone does not blend together well with the rest of it. He said it could be painted a base color or maybe a lighter color, if nothing else. Berentson said that the corner there will be landscaped in the future also. Carlson said that since this is a non -historic porch, there is nothing in the guidelines against enclosing it. Ponto asked if it would be compatible with the same trim. Nerad confirmed this. Berentson said the goal is to make it look like it had always been there. MOTION: Gunn moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the enclosure of the screen porch at 415 Brown Street, as proposed. Enloe seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. with the admonition of the Commission against beginnina a project before receiving a certificate of appropriateness. 730 Bowery Street. Terdalkar said this is a contributing structure in the Lucas -Governor Street Conservation District. He said the project is for the replacement of windows, storm windows, and exterior doors, and the installation of a basement egress window to add a bedroom to the basement. McLaughlin said he would be using sash kits that come with either wood or metal -clad wood windows. He said that is primarily done in aluminum and asked if that was an acceptable type of metal -clad material. Gunn said that if it is paintable, it would be acceptable. He asked if the sash kits have a vertical track. McLaughlin said there is a vertical track that goes inside the existing frame. McLaughlin said that to fit the basement egress window within the existing frame, it will have to be lowered. He said he would prefer to do that in vinyl, which is an exception for a basement window in a conservation district. McLaughlin said it would be a casement window and would be a double hung window with two sashes. He said the appearance would be similar, because only the top part of the window would be above ground. Gunn said the Commission does not allow snap -in muntin bars on the inside only. He said they have to be adhered inside and outside. McLaughlin confirmed that the window grills are permanent both inside and outside. Carlson asked about the condition of the current windows. McLaughlin replied that the windows are very worn, old, and drafty. He said the existing framework is loose. Carlson asked if there was a lot of rot — if the windows are reparable. McLaughlin said he has not detected a whole lot of rot, but the windows are not very functional. McLaughlin asked for suggestions for the replacement doors. Maharry said that the current doors are consistent with the arts and crafts style. He said the one McLaughlin suggests doesn't necessarily meet the arts and crafts style, but Terdalkar could come up with a consistent door style. Maharry said the Commission cannot disallow door styles but can recommend particular styles. Gunn said the guidelines do disallow installing flush entrance doors or other modern door styles so that the Commission can ask for something compatible with the architecture. MOTION: Enloe moved to grant a certificate of appropriateness for the replacement of windows and doors and the installation of an egress window in a basement bedroom at 730 Bowery Street, with the stipulation that the replacement windows and doors match the existing material, style, and appearance. McCallum seconded the motion. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 9 Carlson said the very first recommendation under windows is "preserving historic windows by repairing sashes and frames." He said it sounds like the windows are reparable, even though it would be a lot of work. Carlson said they are not so far gone that they couldn't be repaired so that he would vote against a wholesale window replacement for this house. He said that right now the house is very intact, and he could not approve replacement of all windows and doors without a compelling reason. McLaughlin said the kitchen windows in particular have been painted to the point where it is almost like caulk. He asked how one would repair a window like that to get it back down to the wood in order to stain or repaint it, so it would be functional enough to work in a frame or system that is already loose and worn. Maharry said it can be done but takes a lot of time. Carlson added that the tracks can be readjusted as long as the wood is not deteriorated to the point where it will not take new screw holes and things like that. The motion carried on a vote of 5-2, with Carlson and Enloe voting no. 730 Summit Street. Arkush, the owner of the house, said the proposal is to replace a kitchen window that is less than three feet by three feet. He said that because there is a sink in front of the window on the inside, the window is very difficult to open, and his wife actually broke a rib doing so. Arkush said he would like to replace the window with an awning window, which would be wood on the outside. He said it would be the same width but would be four inches taller and would not have the divider in the middle. Arkush said the window would not be visible from the street. Maharry asked Arkush if he was unable to find a window that simulates what is there now. Mrs. Arkush said it would be much more expensive. She said Knebel Windows suggested a double panel window with a screen on the inside. Mrs. Arkush said that from the outside, it would look about the same but would be a little taller. She said it would not have a storm window, so it would look more like the dining room window. Enloe asked what other kind of window could be installed, other than an awning window, since awning windows are explicitly disallowed in the guidelines. Mrs. Arkush said that the way the window opens is not a problem, but the double hung issue may be a problem. Maharry said if there were a window that replicated the exterior appearance currently, be it awning or casement, that would be consistent with the architectural style. McCallum said he believes that there are awning windows that simulate the look of a double hung window. Gunn said the Commission has approved windows, usually casement windows, that have an adhered horizontal muntin on the inside and outside so that it looks like a double hung window. He said it should not be much more expensive. Miklo stated that, given the proportions, this probably was not an original window. Terdalkar said he thinks it is an original window, because on the other side of the structure, there is a similar window of a similar size. Mrs. Arkush said that the window on Sheridan is bigger. Miklo said that given the roofline, it appears that this whole portion of the house may have been altered at some point. McCallum asked if the four inches of wood around the exterior of the window would remain the same. Mrs. Arkush confirmed this but said it would be lower. McCallum suggested that an awning -style window be allowed if it maintains the look of a double hung. Arkush said he thought the window would look better without the double hung appearance, given the other windows surrounding it. Miklo said that given the proportions of the window, historically one would have not seen a double hung window that square. Carlson said that historically one would not have a single pane of glass this large without any dividing lights. Miklo pointed out that this window is not visible from the street. Gunn said this is not a historically proportioned double hung window. Ponto said that lengthening the window would help the proportions. MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the replacement of a kitchen window at 730 South Summit Street with an awning -type window that simulates the appearance of Historic Preservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 10 a double hung window, with an increase of approximately four inches in depth at the bottom of the window. Ponto seconded the motion. McCafferty suggested that to make this look more like a fixed, decorative window, it could be done like some of the other windows on the house with a bar up high on the window, above eye level. Gunn said the Commission is looking for away to approve an awning window, which is disallowed. He said that the Commission has to be consistent or it is being arbitrary. Maharry said the guidelines disallow an awning window when it is not original, consistent, or required. He said that raising the bar on the window would make it more consistent with the architectural style. MOTION: Enloe moved to amend the motion to allow for either the appearance of a double hung window or the possibility of a raised bar window that is consistent with the style of the large windows on the front of the house. Ponto seconded the amendment. The amended motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 818 South Summit Street. McCafferty said this is an application for the construction of a small carriage house/garage combination. She showed some photographs of garages and carriage houses on Summit Street. McCafferty said there is a 15-foot height limitation. She said the building will have fiber cement board siding and will have traditional details in terms of the window trim. McCafferty said she does not know what is under the aluminum siding on the house so was uncertain as to matching the house. She said the proposed design is something that would most likely fit with anything found on this style of house. McCafferty said the grade will be raised somewhat. She said there will be double hung windows, and the doors will be carriage style doors with faux hardware. McCafferty said the eaves are different on the front and the back of the house, but the eave detail has been taken from the back of the house. Heald, the owner of the house, stated that the pitch of the carriage house will not be as steep as that of the house, because then it would be too high. Ponto asked if the windows on the main floor will be divided. McCafferty said she thought they would be open, but they could be simple barn sashes with a cross bar in them. MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the construction of a garage/carriage house at 818 South Summit Street, as proposed. Gunn seconded the motion. Carlson asked if using the faux hardware would be in keeping with the guidelines. McCafferty said the hardware would be made of wrought iron. Carlson said he did not think that it would be in the 1890s style and said that the Commission recommends solid panel -type doors. Heald said it was okay with him not to use the faux hinges. He said he wanted the structure to look right. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 426 Grant Street. Maharry said this is a contributing structure in the Longfellow Historic District. He said the application is for the installation of two handrails, simple iron railings with spindles. Enloe said the handrail should either match the porch balustrade or be made of round, steel pipe. Carlson said the wrought iron looks inappropriate. He added that he would not suggest using something that looks like the porch in this case, because it is a very distinctive porch, and the steel pipe railing would be invisible against this porch. Carlson said he would prefer to see a pipe railing, but matching the balustrade would meet the guidelines as well. Enloe said he could support a pipe railing, but otherwise he would have to see a drawing for the proposed railings. Historic vreservation Commission Minutes April 14, 2005 Page 11 MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the installation of two wrought iron metal handrails at 426 Grant Street. Gunn seconded the motion. Carlson said that wrought iron railings are expressly disallowed. Ponto said that they are disallowed unless they are part of the historic design, which they are not in this case. The motion failed on a vote of 0-7. MOTION: McCallum moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for a simple pipe railing on the upper and lower steps at 426 Grant Street. Enloe seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 1121 Seymour Avenue. Terdalkar said this is an application to reside a garage on a contributing property in the Longfellow Historic District with vinyl siding to match the existing. Maharry pointed out that the earlier application in 2003 in which the Commission approved vinyl siding for the addition to the house was unique, as the owners did not know what was under the main house's vinyl siding because the original siding underneath had been removed. Carlson said this property is contributing but is shown on the map as non-contributing. Maharry said the property was reclassified at one point. MOTION: Enloe moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the installation of vinyl siding on the garage at 1121 Seymour Street, as proposed. McCallum seconded the motion. Enloe stated that he would vote against this, because it does not meet the special criteria of the unique case in which the Commission did not know, the nature of the siding under the addition of the house for a previously approved application. He said that since those conditions do not apply in this case, the guidelines explicitly disallow vinyl siding here. Maharry said the Commission also needs to determine if the siding is sufficiently deteriorated that it needs to be replaced. Enloe said he did not see a case for that. Maharry said the applicant stated that the garage has to frequently be repainted. Terdalkar said the side with the damage is the west side of the garage. The motion failed on a vote of 0-7. March 10, 2005 Meeting Minutes. MOTION: Enloe moved to defer consideration of the March 10, 2005 meeting minutes to the next meeting. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 p.m. Minutes submitted by Anne Schulte s:lpcd/minutes/H PC/2005/h pc04-14-05.doc
