We also are requesting to eliminate the entry door at the center of the house facing west. The door becomes unusable due to the revised stairway to the basement, which has to be reconfigured to meet updated building codes. We are requesting to eliminate the door and install wood siding on the west side of the house, which will overlap the historic - looking block that will be set around the top of the poured concrete foundation. This will result in a much better protection for the house from the elements, as opposed to having a door that will not and cannot be used. Respectfully submitted, James B.

The applicant has proposed to (on the west facade) 1) remove a door and close the door opening; 2) replace an existing slider window with a double hung window; 3) remove a double hung window in the basement; 4) replace an existing double -hung window with a larger casement window; (on the north facade) 5) replace an existing double -hung window with a larger casement window; 6) install a new double -hung window at the basement level Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations Staff Comments The house was built in 1900, and is an example of American Foursquare style. A side door on an American Foursquare house is a very common feature. Such a door is part of the balanced fenestration for the Foursquare. Fenestration is a key feature that gives a structure its distinctiveness. The house does not have any ornate details and any trim or other details such as horizontal band board, frieze boards may have been removed at the time when the siding was covered by asphalt brick veneer. In staffs view, removing a door opening from the structure is a greater change than the proposed replacement, removal or installation of new windows at the basement level. The alterations done to this house have affected its original integrity to a great extent. Blocking original openings will lead to further detraction. Staff recommends maintaining the door opening. The first floor slider window on the west facade appears to have been replaced asymmetrically by removing an original window. Staff recommends that proposed double -hung window be placed in line with the second floor window to restore the symmetry of these openings. p,� �I w A a �3 P z� gyp .rl 4i r t- f w ;_s -v T-- k--c-- A-P a Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the exterior of historic landmarks or proper- ties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City For Staff Use: /r e Code Section 144C.

College Street District: College Green District Classification: Contributing July 27, 2006 The applicant, Terry Dunlap, is requesting approval for an alteration project for the structure at 714 East College Street, which is a contributing property in the College Green Historic District. The applicant has proposed to replace the existing wood siding with fiber cement board siding. Annlicr able Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic preservation Guidelines for Alterations Staff Comments The house was built for Max Mayer in 1895 with Queen Anne architectural and stylistic features. Mayer was a successful local entrepreneur of his time. After a fire c. 1910-1912, the roof was rebuilt but with substantial changes. The house was used as a fraternity house in the 1920's and then was converted into a multiple units in the 1930's. The house has seen many changes since the fire, including change in the roof line and mass, additional entrances, a large addition in the back and replacement siding. For this reason it was categorized as a non-contributing structure in the historic district. The applicant has removed the storm -damaged aluminum siding and revealed the original wood siding and a wide trim pattern. Maintaining the wood siding and the trim pattern would increase its stylistic integrity. Because of its association with Max Mayer, and later with some fraternities, the improved integrity may earn the property a contributing property status in the district. The applicant is proposing to remove the wood siding to replace it with fiber cement board siding. The applicant intends to use the trim, corner boards and band board details similar to the original house. The original wood siding and the wide trim, in staffs view, is not beyond repair. Restoring the wood siding may be more cost effective than removing it and installing new fiber cement board siding. Although installation of fiber cement board siding is a better alternative than aluminum or vinyl siding, restoring the wood siding would also return the structure to its original character to some extent. Staff recommends restoring the wood siding as the preferred alternative. If the applicant demonstrates that the wood siding is deteriorated and it is not feasible to restore it and the Commission agrees that the wood siding can be replaced with fiber cement board siding, then staff recommends replacement of the siding with fiber cement board except for the primary facade. Regardless of the material used for the siding, staff recommends that the wide trim boards should be maintained on the original part of the house.
