The project consists of the demolition of the original single car garage. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Staff Comments Built c.1915-1925, this small cottage with clipped gable roof is a simplified bungalow design Note the paired windows with vertical light top sash, heavy front porch, and exposed rafter ends. The use of rusticated concrete block for the foundation was common during the first quarter of the 20th century. Application of modern replacement siding has impaired the integrity of the house, but this is still considered a contributing structure in the Clark Street Conservation District. The original garage, now demolished, was a small detached structure located to the rear of the house, This garage, and the narrow driveway leading to it, was a typical feature in this Longfellow neighborhood. The project consists of the demolition of the original single car garage. This demolition, while not approved, has been completed, and the applicant has indicated receiving mis-information about historic review and the demolition permit process. The guidelines recommend retaining historic garages. If the historic garage is insufficient for modern-day vehicles, efforts should be made to construct a new garage on another portion of the site. To approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition, the guidelines instruct the Commission to consider the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the garage. In this case, the garage was historically significant, but in poor condition. The lot is small and there is no other location for a new garage. In Staff's opinion, repair of the original garage would have been a better choice, but the condition of the garage is not fully known and the amount of deterioration could justify demolition. Note that a new garage must meet the guidelines for construction of new outbuildings, and any proposed design will be carefully reviewed. No previous Certificates of Appropriateness have been issued for this property. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 439 Clark Street as presented in the application. 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.

Proposed Project Details Project Description: lnkr dQ&U �-r I Materials to be Used: Exterior Appearance Changes: ppdadmin/histprWapp_for_historicmiew.doc 2/1 i Staff Report September 6, 2013 Historic Review for 1515 Jackson Street District: Dearborn Street Conservatior. District Classification: Noncontributing The applicant, Michael Hartley, is requesting approval for a new construction project at 1515 Jackson Street, a noncontributing property in the Dearborn Street Conservation District. The project consists of the construction of a new dental laboratory building to replace Mr. Hartley s previous building which was lost to fire. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.1 New Primary Structures Staff Comments All that remains of the building at 1515 Jackson is the basement and the concrete slabs of the main level. A fire in January destroyed this one-story commercial building and attached apartment. The commercial space was occupied by The Dental Lab, a production laboratory serving dental professionals, owned and operated by the applicant. The building was constructed c.1920; it was rectangular in plan with a flat roof. Nearly all original exterior architectural elements had been covered, altering the building's appearance and integrity. Original function was that of a hatchery - the Palmer Hatchery — and the Iowa Chick Hatchery was located next door. The Dental Lab moved into the building in the 1980s. No previous Certificates of Appropriateness have been issued for this property. The project consists of the construction of a new dental laboratory building to replace the previous building. To comply with zoning code, the applicant is seeking a special exception to allow this project, and must demonstrate that the design of the new building will increase its compatibility with the surrounding uses - single-family residential houses. Planning Staff is recommending that the design of the new building be such that it looks like a house and may readily be converted to a residential use if in the future a commercial use is no longer present on the site. The applicant has chosen the historic style of the Craftsman Bungalow. In this district, the residential Craftsman Bungalow style is an appropriate style for a new building. Craftsman design features include a low- pitched gabled roof with wide eave overhang, decorative brackets under the gables, and a front porch with roof supported by square columns. Typical of this style, the windows will have divided light upper sash over single pane lower sash. Note that a typical historic Craftsman Bungalow would have an unenclosed eave, with exposed roof rafters. The new building will be one-story, approximately 40 ft. x 65 ft., with full basement and attached garage. Proposed siding is horizontal lap fiber cement board; an alternate with brick is also being considered. Proposed trim is MiraTEC; painted bead board is proposed for the soffits; architectural shake asphalt shingles are proposed for the roofing; and tongue and groove fir is proposed for the porch floor boards. The proposed windows are Kolbe and Kolbe Ultra series or Classic series clad wood double or single -hung with simulated divided lights. The proposed doors are Masonite fiberglass panel style doors with half-light. The proposed garage doors are Overhead Door fiberglass, in a simple plain style. The proposed design is not yet final, but in most respects it is compliant with the Guidelines for New Primary Structures. These guidelines recommend designing a new primary structure in a similar style to the architectural styles prevalent in the district, matching the massing, roofline, siding, windows, doors, porches and other architectural features of the historic style. In Staff's opinion, the proposed new building is acceptable and should be approved, with the conditions listed below. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1515 Jackson Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: • Provide product information for windows, doors, garage doors, siding, shingles, and all other exterior materials, • Provide schematic floor plan showing possible future conversion to residential use, • Provide final design of new building for review and approval by Chair and Staff. • 'r r' �v n 'r r•t4" . : W�y T _Q _J ,��• It Vie -to lvovlrtl 5w*gwe6f Viecd tookiv.l ',00t fl Applicaden for IEstode 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.

The project consists of the addition of a small porch at the back door. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Comments Construction date for this house is ca. 1910-1920. This is a Late 19th/Early 20th Century, American Bungalow style house. One story, with a hip roof, wide overhangs, and matching hip dormers both front and back. The foundation is stucco covered concrete or masonry, siding is restored wood clapboard, and roof has asphalt shingles. The front porch is recessed under the main roof, with solid panel railing and a square column with battered sides. Windows are double -hung, grouped in threes at living and dining rooms, with Craftsman style four -over -one sash. In 2012, the Commission approved plans for a 10-foot-deep addition on the back side of this house, and for renovation and conversion of the detached garage into studio space. Both the addition and the studio project have been completed. The project now proposed is the addition of a small porch at the new back door. The new porch will be similar to the porch that was on the back of the house before construction of the addition. The new porch will have a hip roof that will fit under the cave of the house, square support posts, wood deck, stairs, and balustrades and handrails on both sides. The guidelines for New Porches (5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint) recommend constructing new porches that are consistent with the historic building or similar to porches of the same architectural style; employing traditional porch construction with wood joists and wood flooring; and adding skirting to fill the space between the porch floor and the finished grade. The proposed design appears to be compliant; materials need to be confirmed; and, in this case skirting, is not required as it would be inconsistent with the existing front porch. The guidelines state that Balustrades and Handrails should be consistent with the architectural style, while also meeting code requirements for uniformity and safety. The guidelines include drawings of recommended balustrade designs, and the proposed design appears to be compliant. In Staffs opinion, the proposed new porch is appropriate and acceptable for this house. As there appears to be some discrepancy between the elevation drawings and the actual house, it is Staffs opinion that the stair should be wider than the proposed 5' 6" dimension. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 727 Grant Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Confirm proposed materials and final dimensions for review and approval by Chair and staff. 11 rA ILIL e '3A 7 I I I • �dP16iR41lkL•aCI1lIF/kkk�� �o I I NSA � 4D I� low I WON] o■ ,Il�l�ll��i p�'' IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII �� �, — - I IIP'' IIIIIIIIIII I Dom; law 0� """""""""""""' 'IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII _ MINK OEI, iMi _ — � d � IIIIII�IIII_II]I Di IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII �' 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.

Johnson Street District: College Green Historic District Classification: Contributing The applicant, Burford Estate/Mark McCallum, is requesting approval for a window replacement project at 113 S. Johnson Street, a contributing property in the College Green Historic District. The project consists of four replacement windows, including two basement windows with new window wells. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.5 Foundations 4.13 Windows Staff Comments The historic Murphy house built in 1890 is one of the better local examples of the Queen Anne free classic variation seen on a relatively modest house. This is a large and commodious house for Iowa City, but is not a "mansion" or over scaled. The exterior is well decorated with details recalling classical architecture. Workmanship is quite fine. Per the Iowa Site Inventory Form, the building is individually eligible for the National Register under Criterion C and was considered a key structure for the district. The house is two stories with a large attic, a cut stone foundation, wood clapboard siding, and asphalt shingle roofing. There is a small one-story modern studio addition on the south side of the house. A previous Certificate of Appropriateness was issued in 2006 for repairs associated with tornado damage. The current project consists of four replacement windows, including two basement windows with new window wells. The proposed windows are Quaker Brighton' series clad wood windows, as follows: in the attic on the north side the existing double -hung window will be replaced with a casement style egress window with simulated double -hung meeting rail; on the first floor at the west end of the north side the existing casement windows will be replaced with a more appropriate double -hung window, or a single casement style egress window with simulated double -hung meeting rail; and in the basement on the south side the two existing windows under the kitchen will be replaced with casement style egress windows with simulated double -hung meeting rail. The proposed window replacement on the first floor will require infill of the wall, new siding to match existing, and new window trim to match existing. The proposed replacement of basement windows will require cutting of the foundation wall and construction of window wells. Regarding window wells, the guidelines for foundations recommend using materials that appear similar to the existing foundation materials. In this case the foundation is stone. More information on the proposed window wells is needed to complete this review. Window restoration is not required in this case as it is Staffs understanding that these particular windows are not original to the house. The guidelines for windows allow new metal -clad solid wood windows. Changing the size of an opening to accommodate an egress window is acceptable. In Staffs opinion, the proposed work is acceptable and appropriate. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 113 S. Johnson Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Confirm dimensions of simulated double -hung meeting rail on casement windows, and • Provide information on proposed materials and dimensions at new window wells, for review and approval by Char and staff. i� =y.41 �a�' •r= r 1�� N o� R —cs 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.

College Street District: East College Street Historic District Classification: Contributing The applicants, Brian Mildenstein and Michelle Galvin, are requesting approval for an alteration and addition project at 1113 E. College Street, a contributing property in the East College Street Historic District. The project consists of alterations to the existing back porch, and a new second floor addition over the porch. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails 4.3 Doors 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.11 Siding 4.13 Windows 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Continents This house was built in 1908 and is one of at least five early twentieth-century Foursquare houses on this long block of East College Street Three of these Foursquares, including this one, exhibit Colonial Revival details. A symmetrical Georgian fagade, porch columns with Ionic capitals, a wide entablature on the porch and bay window, plus just a hint of a Palladian window in the three-part front dormer window give this generously scaled Foursquare its style. The house is two stories with a stone foundation, narrow wood clapboard siding, and asphalt shingle roofing. In 1997 the Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a project on the back of this house that included railings and flooring at the second floor deck, and a stairway down to the back yard. It appears this project was not completed. The currently proposed project consists of alterations to the existing back porch, and a new second floor addition over the porch. At Staff's request, the contractor has also provided porch designs for the new back door. On the back - south side - of the house, the existing first floor extends 7 ft. out from the main house. This extended area is 21 ft. wide and is set in from the main house approximately 2 ft. on the east side and 7 ft, on the west. Within this 21 x 7 area there is a 7 ft. x 7 ft. covered back porch, the basement stairwell with an exterior door, and a bathroom. The roof is flat and there is a door from the master bedroom onto the roof It is believed that this extended area is original to the house. The proposed project will convert the covered back porch into interior living space which will function as a mudroom and storage space. There is a detached garage at the back of the property and the family enters the house from this direction, so this is their main entrance. The added second story will allow for a master bathroom and closet as well as increasing the size of the existing bathroom on the second floor. The second floor addition will be the same dimensions as the existing first floor area, and the new roof will be a hip roof to match the main roof. The ridge of the new roof will be below the existing roof; the new roof will be built around the existing chimney. Proposed materials include cedar siding and trim to match existing. Existing windows may be re -used. Applicable to this project, the Guidelines for Additions recommend using a palette of materials that is similar to that used on the historic building, and matching the key horizontal lines of the existing building, such as eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic building. The mass and roofline of the addition should match that of the historic building: roof pitch should be consistent with the existing roof and have a proportion that is similar; the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the addition should match the existing building. When the eaves of an addition intersect the eaves of the existing building, care should be taken to assure that the two eaves align properly. The trim details of a new eave should match the eave details of the existing building. In this case, the existing roof flares at the eaves, and the new roof should match. New siding and trim should match existing siding and trim. New windows should be of a similar type, proportion and divided light pattern as those of the existing building. The location of new windows should be consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar style. The new entrance door should match the material of historic doors, and have a similar style and appearance as the historic doors in the existing building. I£ a porch at the new back door is included with this project, then the guidelines recommend a porch design that is consistent with the historic building or similar to porches of the same architectural style. Traditional wood materials are recommended for the structure, flooring, balustrades, and skirting. Railings should be consistent with the architectural style, while also meeting code requirements for uniformity and safety. The guidelines for Balustrades and Handrails include drawings of recommended balustrade designs, with specific recommendations for materials and dimensions. Design of the porch and the railings is still preliminary, and a final design is needed to complete this review. The porch design could also be reviewed separately in another application. In Staff's opinion, the proposed alterations to the existing back porch and the new second floor addition are acceptable and should be approved, with the conditions listed below. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1113 E. College Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: ■ Confirm roof pitch with flared eaves to match existing, • Provide product information for new windows and doors, • Provide final design of porch for review and approval by Chair and Staff. tE, l( f vxor Fro po"e, eol nnin ApplicaVor 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.

Governor Street District: Governor -Lucas Street Conservation District Classification: Noncontributing The applicant, Jeffrey Heath Frerich, is requesting approval for a demolition and new construction project at 528 Governor Street, a noncontributing property in the Governor -Lucas Street Conservation District. The project consists of the demolition of an existing single -car garage and construction of a new two -car garage with workshop. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Staff Comments Two stories in height and of wood frame construction, this house presents no definite appearances of a particular style. It has a low pitched gable roof and a wrap -around porch which has been enclosed. The oldest sections of this small house may date from the lWs. Through the years, the overall size has been significantly increased with multiple additions. The entire house is now clad in replacement siding. The existing garage is a small wood frame structure with original Dutch lap siding. The garage is at the rear of the property, with a pair of wide swinging doors facing the alley. The garage is in generally poor condition. No previous Certificates of Appropriateness have been issued for this property. The project consists of the demolition of the existing single -car garage and concrete slab. A walnut tree on the lot will also be removed. The applicant would then like to construct a two -car garage with workshop. The guidelines recommend retaining historic garages. If the historic garage is insufficient for modem -day vehicles, efforts should be made to construct a new garage on another portion of the site. To approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition, the guidelines instruct the Commission to consider the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the garage. In this case, the garage is historically significant, but in poor condition. The location of the garage on the alley and the width of the lot make it difficult to save this structure and still have space to build a new garage. The proposed new garage would be 32 ft. wide x 20 ft. deep, with side gabled roof, and two 9 ft. wide garage doors facing the alley. The applicant has provided a proposed design, and is willing to make changes to better meet the historic preservation guidelines. The guidelines for New Outbuildings provide recommendations for simple, appropriate design, with recommendations for specific features, materials, and details. In Staffs opinion, the proposed demolition and new construction is acceptable, although more information is needed to approve the design of the new garage. Moving or otherwise salvaging the existing garage should be considered. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 528 Governor Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: • Confirm all proposed products, materials, and final design of the new garage for review and approval by Chair and staff.

Lucas Street District: Governor -Lucas Street Conservation District Classification: Contributing The applicant, The City of Iowa City, is requesting approval for a repair and alteration project at 430 S. Lucas Street, a contributing property in the Governor -Lucas Street Conservation District. The project consists of foundation and siding repair, window repair, a new egress window, and new replacement doors. AMficable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.3 Doors, 4.5 Foundations, 4.8 Masonry, 4.11 Siding, 4.13 Windows Staff Comments This L-shaped house has drop siding and late Queen Anne details, including cottage windows, bull's-eye comer blocks, bay window, and decorative concrete block foundation. Approximate construction date: c.1895-1910. No previous Certificates of Appropriateness have been issued for this property. The project consists of foundation and siding repair, window repair, a new egress window, and new replacement doors. The work also includes repair of existing retaining walls. Repair work at the foundation will include joint repair, but is not anticipated to include new masonry units. The guidelines for foundations recommend repair rather than replacement; any new replacement materials should match the existing materials in size, color, texture, composition, and joint profile. The guidelines for masonry provide specific instructions for repair work, including recommended preparation techniques, mortar mix, joint dimensions, selection of replacement units, and masonry cleaning. Siding repair will be necessary in multiple locations, with materials to match existing, per guideline recommendations. The window to be repaired is a large window on the front of the house; the work will include replacing the bottom rail of the sash. The guidelines for windows recommend preserving historic windows by repairing rather than replacing. The applicant is proposing replacement of the existing second floor window in the west gable - on the front of the house — with a new egress window. The egress window is required by code, and it is allowed by the guidelines for bedroom windows. The guidelines recommend matching the size, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the original window. In this case, the egress window will be a casement and it will require a simulated double -hung meeting rail. The new window will be sized to fit in the existing opening. Deteriorated and mis-matched exterior doors will be replaced: the front door, the back door, and the kitchen door. The new doors will be fiberglass, panel design, with half -lights. The location of the kitchen door may be moved approximately 10-inches to better accommodate the kitchen remodel. The guidelines recommend repair of historic doors, and, for all exterior doors, the guidelines recommend a wood screen door that accepts sashes with glass or screen. Here the existing storm door on the front will remain, and the screen door on the back may also be kept. Staff recommends installation of wood screen doors at all locations. In Staffs opinion, the proposed work is acceptable and appropriate, with conditions as listed below. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 430 S. Lucas Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: • Provide product information for egress window, replacement doors and screen doors, for review and approval by Chair and staff. • - J ie� 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.

Lucas St. Iowa City, Iowa 52245 Historic Preservation Commission City of Iowa City 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Members of the Historic Preservation Commission As you will recall, at the Northside Neighborhood's request earlier this year, HPC agreed to place consideration of a conservation district within the Northside boundaries on your work plan for the year. We would now respectfully ask the Commission to move to add consideration of this plan to your active agenda. This conservation district, which we are referring to as the Horace Mann Conservation District, encompasses a fair section of the Northside Neighborhood (see attached boundary map.) We believe this is an important protective measure and while the properties within the proposed area do not appear to meet the threshold of an historic district, we believe they easily meet the lower threshold of a conservation district. The area in question, part of the original 1839 plat of Iowa City, contains some of the oldest housing stock in the city, including some key historic properties, and many of these houses are remarkably intact. The area retains much of the feel of a traditional late -nineteenth- early twentieth-century neighborhood. However, parts of the proposed district are susceptible to redevelopment at a scale that would be incompatible with the rest of the neighborhood. We fear such redevelopment may not be too far off in some cases. The rest of the area is susceptible to smaller -scale redevelopment and all of the area is susceptible to loss of the distinctive character of the buildings due to insensitive remodeling. Certainly the latter has happened far more than we would prefer. There are also some positive steps, including reinvestment in parts of the area, both private and via the UniverCity Program. We believe establishing the conservation district will be a huge step in further protecting and stabilizing an historic neighborhood that borders downtown and the Northside marketplace. Such a district would provide a transition for the Northside and Brown Street Historic Districts, while helping to keep a huge swath of this historic neighborhood a healthy and sustainable place for short-term and long-term residents. Many thanks for your consideration. Representatives of NNA will be at your Sept. 5 meeting if there are questions.

Peterson showed a view looking back toward the house and a view from the side yard. She showed a rendering of the proposed garage. Peterson showed a view looking back from the driveway. Peterson stated that materials would be similar to the materials of the house. She said there would be one double -wide garage door and also a service door on the north side, with some small windows on the east and west sides. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 8, 2013 Page 2 of S Eckhardt, one of the owners of the property, asked the Commission to grant this project a Certificate of Appropriateness. She said they did not anticipate, when they sold the adjoining property, that they would have this problem of needing a garage, but the existing garage is going with the other property. Eckhardt said it is a fairly new garage and is not an historic garage. Eckhardt said they would like to be able to park two cars in the new garage, and they feel like it needs to be a two -car garage for the future. She asked the Commission to approve the 16-foot- wide door, because a driver will have to come around and swerve in to get into the garage. Eckhardt said that when they remove the existing concrete slab there might be the remains there of an original carriage house or footings or something, because this house is old enough to have had that. She said the lot is small and cut short by the lot to the east which runs south to north. Russell, the contractor for this project, said he will be supervising the work. He said he could answer any questions the Commission members might have. Russell said that he has discussed details of the proposed garage with Peterson. Russell said Peterson had thought the garage door might be too wide, and suggested a 14-foot- wide door. He said, however, the Eckhardts are worried about maneuvering through a narrower door. Russell said that a 16-foot-wide door is preferred, and the full width will be slightly hidden when one is looking straight down the driveway. Russell pointed out the rendering of the garage door. He said that if he used a 14-foot-wide door, one could just see both sides of the door. Russell stated that if he uses a 16-foot-wide door, it would take away the risk of hitting the car on the corner. He said there is plenty of room to put a 16-foot-wide garage door and a 32-inch-wide service door there with some space. Russell said this is shown on the floor plan. Peterson said the staff comments discuss either a 14 or 16-foot-wide door. She said the drawing says 14, and the report says 14 to 16. Peterson added that she included in the Commission's packet the parts list. She said she has discussed some changes with the applicant. Peterson said she would like to see a steeper - pitched roof, as that is more in character with the neighborhood. She said she would like to see shallower overhangs, and the type of door staff usually recommends is simple or a carriage - door style. She said it would not be the modern panel design that is shown. Peterson said one of the recommended conditions is that the owners would need to provide product information, and staff would do a final review of that. Russell said that he has already discussed that with the owners, and that is acceptable to them. Peterson said that one thing that has evolved since the packet was distributed is whether this has to be physically connected. Russell said he had new information about that. He said the first person told him that if it is within six feet of the original building, it has to be connected to the building. Russell said there was a lot of discussion about how to connect it. Russell said that he then spoke to another person with the City who explained that that is not what it means. He stated that the City employee said it means that if it is within six feet of the HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 8, 2013 Page 3 of 8 property line or an existing building, it must be built as if it is attached to the building — in terms of fire codes. Russell said in other words, the building is going to have to have three -quarter - inch drywall both on the outside and the inside of the walls and the ceiling. He said that is what the new fire codes call for. Russell said that the east side and the south side will have that construction. Russell said that because of the porch, the actual wall distance to the garage is more than six feet. He said the front of the proposed garage therefore does not have to have fireproof doors or the fireproofing. Peterson added that these are all things that Inspection Services will check. Russell said he has been working with them on every question involving this project. Russell said that he does not need to get a special garage door or special service door, because the distance to the house wall is over six feet. He said that the east and south walls are going to be just three feet from the property line, so that would make them as close as six feet from any future buildings on the adjacent lots. Michaud asked if the white garage is what was sold. Russell confirmed this. Michaud asked how close the new garage would be to the property line. Russell said the new garage would be three feet from the property line. He said the property line was moved. Russell said the property line used to be the dark area on the diagram. He said that with the permission of the City, the property line has been moved seven feet. Russell said this is being done by MMS Consultants. Russell said the City is converting the property next door from a rental back into a single-family home. He said it was part of the conversation when the house was sold to build a garage on this property. Peterson said it is a very tight fit. She said she thinks it is good that this does not have to be physically connected. Peterson added that the roof edge of the house will still be pretty close to the roof edge of the new garage. MOTION: Baker moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project for 514 North Linn Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: 1) all trim on the garage, including wall trim, door and window trim, and the soffit and fascia shall be wood or approved wood substitutes; 2) applicant to provide product information for the garage door, service door, and windows; and 3) applicant to provide final design, including the connection to the house, for review and approval by chair and staff. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0 (Corcoran. Durham. Swaim. and Wauner absent). 602 Clark Street. Peterson said this property is in the Clark Street Conservation District and is another Key Contributing property. She said the house is located where Bowery meets Clark Street. Peterson showed a view from the front, showing the circle driveway in front and the side driveway that goes back to the garage. She said that the project is for a deck addition and some remodeling to the one-story part of the house that was probably added on in the 1950s. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 8, 2013 Page 4 of 8 Peterson said that the plan is to enclose the screen porch area, adding windows and walls, so that this can be a conditioned part of the house. At the existing laundry room she pointed out a window to be taken out that will be a new entry door, with a new deck at this location, as shown in the plans. Peterson said that from the south, one can see the elevation of the wall stays the same, but the deck is added. From the east, she said that one can see how that window will be converted to a door and the extent of the deck. Peterson said the screened porch will be turned into a small room and also showed how it would look from the north. Peterson said the recommendation is to approve this. She said that there were some issues with the railing, but if the Commission approves, she can work those out with the applicant. Peterson said staff is asking that the divided lights in the new windows meet the guidelines, that this is wood or approved wood substitute for all the material on the outside, and that final design is approved by chair and staff. Ackerson asked if there is a reason that there is six-inch lapped siding on the left and four -inch on the right. Peterson said that the four -inch matches the new garage, which is just to the south. She added that the wider siding is typical for the time period when this addition was done, but she thinks the narrower to match the garage is acceptable. Michaud asked if that means the Commission should approve the 50s or 70s look of the addition without matching it more harmoniously. Peterson said she thinks the wider is available. Mark Russo said there is a setback of about six inches between the two sections. Peterson agreed and said the two different widths of siding would not be in the same wall plane. Michaud said she thinks that, if anything, one would unify this all to the size that is on the garage, rather than make it big. Peterson said the area that already has the wide siding would stay; that is not being replaced. Michaud said that would be a door now. Peterson said it is cutting in a door. She said they are not planning to redo the existing siding. Peterson said it is just when they enclose the screen porch that they will need to get the new windows and the wall siding. Peterson said there is a change in wall plane so that it is an easy transition. Litton stated that it transitions to the brick as well. He said it moves from wide to narrow to the brick. Peterson said the other part of this is that the shed roof over this will be extended along the whole length of this east fagade to give a deeper overhang. She said that will shelter the new door. Russo said he is the contractor for this project. He said he has been working with the homeowners on this for the last year. Russo said this is part of a larger project on the first floor. He said that right now, the owners leave the garage, come way around, walk up the rickety steps, come through a rickety porch, and enter right into the center of the kitchen. Russo said that they will redo all of that, and the current laundry room is an ideal entrance way. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 8, 2013 Page 5 of 8 Russo said that everything kind of grows out of that. He said there needs to be a landing so there is a safe way to get in and out. Russo showed the area that will be tied into the existing, new first floor. He said it will have a separate function completely. Russo said he understands completely the idea of unifying the siding. He said that because they were built in two different times, he likes the idea of one being different than the other. Russo said that if the sole purpose were aesthetic, it wouldn't look like this. He said this is an acknowledgement of the different time periods that the newer siding could be on this. He said that without that step back, one wouldn't do it, but the step back creates two structures. Russo said it is unified by the roof. Regarding the handrail, he said they started out trying to recreate the guardrail on the front. He said that was great until they realized that after three risers, code requires a handrail, and that handrail has to be approximately 36 inches off the front of the tread. Russo said he had planned a two -foot guardrail to match the front, but that will not work. He said the owners are doing some research on other handrail styles in the neighborhood and working with Peterson to find something that is appropriate. Anne Stapleton said they are doing this project for a variety of reasons, one of which is for a more convenient entrance. She said that in the existing laundry room, the water freezes when it gets below ten degrees, and it is difficult to insulate underneath. Stapleton said part of it is therefore to make this first floor more usable. She said there is not one closet in the first floor, so having this entrance/mudroom will make this very useful in terms of storage and being able to avoid the problems with water lines freezing. Stapleton said they are not certain that the space was built at two different times. She said that Sue Licht, who did the architectural plans for the garage, had mentioned that the narrower siding was more appropriate for the general age of the house, which comprises at least four periods: 1880s in the front, 1860s in the back, 1920 in the brick addition on the north, and 1950s/1960s. Stapleton said she understands the questions about the siding differences and the desire to make this unified. She said she thinks they would be fine with what seems to be appropriate for a house of this eclectic nature. Stapleton said they want to maintain the sense of an eclectic nature for such a wonderful house. She said they are very open to the expertise of the Commission. Stapleton said the drawings are not definitive at all in terms of her feelings about the siding. She said she can understand it both ways. Stapleton said it would be an expense to replace that siding, which they would like to avoid. She said, on the other hand, if it is necessary, that would be a consideration too. Stapleton said she thinks this project will improve the function of various areas that are not as functional right now. Regarding the mullions and the recommendations for them, Stapleton said it is along the same lines as the question about the siding. She said that to the right, there are no mullions in those windows, and to the left, the one window that will become a door has them and the one around the side does too. Stapleton added that two windows do, but the next ones do not. She said it is a mix and match with this house She said that initially, they thought they would be more in keeping with the next section on the north side of the house, where there is a small bathroom HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 8, 2013 Page 6 of 8 window in the 1920s addition. Stapleton said that next to that is a tall, un-mullioned window, so that to look at the house from this direction, one would see either all the windows without the mullions or would see those with and then the next part without. Peterson showed the view of the side of the addition that doesn't really change. She said that the window has the divided lights — three wide and two tall. Peterson said it seems that, in this little frame -constructed addition, with that little window there, it makes sense that the new ones would match. She said that in the brick wall, it is an older construction style and the window is narrower and taller. Peterson said it is a balance between being compatible and being of the time in which it was built. Stapleton asked when the area became a conservation district. Peterson said the Clark Street Conservation District was designated in January of 2002. MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 602 Clark Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: divided lights (grilles) in new door and windows to meet guidelines for adhered muntin bars; all door, window, and wall trim, and all soffit and roof trim to be wood or approved wood substitutes; all materials for the deck and railings to be wood or approved wood substitutes; and applicant to provide final design of proposed deck and stair railings for review and approval by chair and staff. Ackerson seconded the motion. The motion REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF Peterson said there were no Certificates of No Material Effect, there were two Minor Review certificates, and there was one Intermediate Review certificate. Peterson said the Minor Reviews were for pre -approved items: 722 North Lucas for a window replacement and 921 Bowery for front steps. The Intermediate Review was for a property on Brown Street for which the Commission previously approved a large remodeling project and garage addition. She said the owner ran into some structural problems with the existing basement, so the original certificate had to be modified so that the owner could build anew basement under the house. Peterson said it did not change anything substantially from what the Commission had reviewed.
