The project consists of a roof ornament - a salvaged antique spire — to be installed on the ridge of an existing roof. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 10.0 The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation Staff Comments This one story stone house is a great example of the so-called "Moffitt Cottage." Built by Howard F. Moffitt in 1938 it illustrates the picturesque quality of his designs, his use of rubble stone , and his re -use of materials (the circular window in a closet is one of four he salvaged, the other three were used in houses on Kirkwood Avenue). The gabled roof is slightly concave and many windows are banded in groups of three. The style of the original house is best classified as Craftsman. Materials include concrete foundation, limestone rubble walls, and asphalt shingle roofing. In 2007 the Commission approved construction of a stone fence and follies along the north property line beyond the rear of the house. This work has not been built. Alterations to this house include conversion of the garage to living space in the 1940s or `50s, and on -going additions to the rear commencing in 1992. The garage was located to the left of the front entrance. The rear additions include stone wall courtyards with ornamental metal gates, a stone `tower' with garden shed below and three -season porch above, a second three -season porch clad with fish -scale shingles, and decks with ornate balustrades, trim and metalwork. The most prominent alteration is a large ornate cupola added in 2000 atop the ridge of the main roof. The cupola is visible from the street in front of the house, and from neighboring properties. The proposed project consists of a roof ornament - a salvaged antique spire — to be installed on the roof ridge of the existing stone tower. The stone tower was added in 1998 and is located at the northwest corner of the house. The tower has a gable roof with asphalt shingles; on the north side the roof meets an extended gable end wall /stone chimney. The salvaged spire is metal on a wood base, approximately 7-feet in height. A new base approximately 2-feet in height, clad with cedar shingles, will be centered on the ridge of the tower roof and the salvaged spire will be installed atop this base. In Staffs opinion, the proposed work is compatible with the existing stone tower and the ornate and fanciful construction of the rear additions, and approval of the application is recommended. While some of the alterations to this house do not meet The Secretary of the Interior's Standards, and therefore would not meet the guidelines of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook, it should be noted that the work was completed before designation of the Longfellow Historic District in 2002 and did not require Historic Review. In Staffs opinion, these alterations are now acquiring their own significance. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 431 Rundell Street, as presented in the application. Mrs .�. IL: ',� � 17-F �; a x ..

Staff Report May 2, 2014 Historic Review for 926 Bowery Street District: Summit Street Historic District Classification: Contributing The applicant, Cody Palmer, is requesting approval for an alteration project at 926 Bowery Street, a Contributing property in the Summit Street Historic District. The project consists of the installation of two new basement egress windows and window wells. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 4.5 Foundations 4.13 Windows Staff Comments A one story house built ca.1910, located on the north side of Bowery Street, this bungalow features a low hip roof, gabled dormers, and a broad, heavy front porch. The house is clad in replacement siding and the eaves are enclosed, concealing the original materials. Windows are original with vertical divided upper sash over un- divided lower sash. The foundation is historic textured concrete block, with original water table wood trim. The proposed project includes two new basement egress windows and window wells — one on the east side of the house and one on the west side of the house — which will replace smaller original basement windows and non -historic metal window wells. Staff has communicated with the applicant and the project as proposed in the application has been revised to better meet the guidelines of the Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook. The guidelines state that if new window wells are required, the materials used must appear similar to the existing foundation materials. Egress windows, when required by the Building Code, must match the size, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the other windows in the house. Metal -clad, solid -wood windows are acceptable. The proposed window wells will have 8-inch poured concrete walls, capped with stone, and with the bottom of the well filled with approximately 12-inches of 1-inch clean rock for drainage. Cutting of the existing foundation will be necessary due to the considerably lower sill height of the new egress windows. Patching may also be required, and if so the infill block must match the historic textured concrete block. The stone used to cap the walls must be mortared; the stone must have a color and texture similar to the historic block. The proposed egress windows will be aluminum clad wood casements, approximately 36-inches x 56-inches, with a simulated meeting rail and simulated divided lights in the `upper sash.' A divided light pattern of three vertical lights will match the divided light pattern of the original windows. The window product is a Mira Casement Premium Series by P1yGem Windows. The grilles will be 7/8-inch SDL; the width of the meeting rail is 2 '/4-inches. Egress window and window well dimensions will comply with building code requirements. In Staffs opinion, the proposed project as revised and described in this report, will meet the guideline recommendations. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the alteration project at 926 Bowery Street, as presented in the application, with revisions as described in the Staff Comments.

Gilbert Street District: na Classification: NRHP; Iowa City Landmark The applicant, Nialle Sylvan, is requesting approval for a proposed signage project at 219 N. Gilbert Street, a National Register of Historic Places listed property and local Iowa City landmark. The project consists of the installation of a business sign at the front entrance to the building. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: Iowa CrtyHistorfc Preservation Handbook 10.0 The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation Staff Comments See attached Page 1 from Site Inventory Form for Narrative Description and Statement of Significance. On February 13, 2014 the Commission approved installation of a business sign for the rear area of this building. The approved sign was to be relocated from the applicant's previous business location. The current proposal is for a sign at the front entrance, on the east side of building. The proposed sign is designed as a flag mount sign with attachment to the existing wood trim of the front entrance. The sign will measure approximately 2' x 3' and will be constructed with aluminum panels secured to a steel frame. The graphics will be applied opaque vinyl, resembling the look of a painted sign. In staff's opinion, a sign attached to the existing wood trim is preferable to a sign attached to the stone wall, as the stone wall could be easily damaged and difficult to repair. The wood trim forms a paneled surround which appears to be original. This is an important feature and care should be taken in the installation of the sign to minimize any loss of integrity. Staff recommends approval of this proposed sign. It is compatible with the building, and can be relatively easily removed in the future. Staff recommends a revised size for the upper attachment plate, (see sketch). The revised size simplifies the shape of the plate, without overlapping the existing recessed panel. Note that a permit from the Building Department is required for this sign, regulating size and construction. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for a front entrance sign at 219 N. Gilbert Street as presented in the application, with minor revision of upper attachment plate dimensions, per staff comments. Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs State Historical Society of Iowa Iowa Site Inventory Form Continuation Sheet Pape I Wentz House Name of Property 7. Narrative Description Site Number 52-03266 pnq J61 MaAl e, a14"s n d1-1 b Johnson County in Iowa This 2-story single-family dwelling was built in ca. 1850 according research completed by local Iowa City architectural historian, Margaret Keyes. Tax Assessor's records have an obviously inaccurate date of 1900 for the house. The 1979 Sanborn map, the earliest map to depict this section of North Gilbert Street, confirms its presence by that date. This house is an example of the Greek Revival style rendered in a classic I -house form. Set close to the sheet, the house has a symmetrical three -bay front with a moderately pitched side -gable "roof. A Bi- story shed roof frame addition. extends across the rear of the house. Fenestration includes 6/6 double -hung sash with flat stone lintels. The entrance door is topped by a flat arched multi -light fanlight and flanked by multi -light sidelights. The rectangular pattern in the wide cornice is one of the house's most distinctive features. The house is constructed of yellow -brown ashlar sandstone pieces laid in a random pattern. Sills and lentils are dressed limestone. The house has two chimneys set in the end gables and a standing seam tin roof. The frame addition is clad in medium width clapboard siding. 8. Statement of Significance This house is a well-preserved early example of a Greek Revival style residence constructed in the Side -Gabled 2-Story (I -House) form, a relatively uncommon house type in this portion of the North Side residential neighborhood. Its construction along Gilbert Street, which served as the in -town route of the Military Road that connected Iowa City to Dubuque. Changes are relatively minor to the Wentz House and as a result, the house ineligible for the National Register under Criterion C. Caroline Wentz was the owner of record of this property at the time it was constructed in ca. 1850. It is likely that she was the wife of Jacob Wentz, a farmer and land owner, who resided a half a block to the east on the south side of Market Street in a house built of similar material ar I fsign as the Gilbert Street house. It is not clear how this house was used initially or who the occupants were but its size and location alu.b the Military Road suggest that it was a house of prominence. Constructed during the period that Iowa City was the Territorial Capital, it was constructed of stone — the building material of choice for the Capitol in 1846. Records indicate the presence of many skilled stone workers in the town following completion of the Capitol. By the 1870s, the Great Western Brewery operated by John and George Dostal was located just south of this house. John Dostal owned the property for a time as did Simon and Barbara Holz, owners and developers of a considerable number of North Side properties. In 1902 the property passed from the Dostals to Nana Wieder who hell it until 1910. It was owned briefly by W. H. Englert and in 1911 was acquired by members of the Hohenschuh family. Clam Hohenschuh, a widow, held it until 1936. During that time various tenants occupied the house. In 1939 Mary Stach and Emma Harvat acquired the house and continued to use it as a rental property.

Bowery Street District: NA Classification: NRHP; Iowa City Landmark The applicant, Julie Parisi, is requesting approval for a proposed signage project at 518 E. Bowery Street, a National Register of Historic Places listed property and local Iowa City landmark. The project consists of the installation of a business sign at the front entrance to the building. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 10.0 The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation Staff Comments On August 9, 2012, the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission approved the designation of 518 Bowery as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. Known as the Haas Grocery Store, the building was constructed c.1856 and for approximately 80 years was operated as a grocery store. While some alterations had been made to the building (such as the stucco finish and the addition on the rear), research suggested these changes took place during the period of significance. (Period of significance for this building is 1857 - 1963) As a building dating to the mid -nineteenth century and one with unusual false front with rounded top, this building is a raze survival of a type of small retail store that dominated towns and cities in Iowa. On April 7, 2014, the Bowery Street Grocery Store was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. On November 8, 2012, the Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for demolition of a non - historic detached garage and repair and rehabilitation of the historic building. This work has been completed. The current proposal is for a business sign to be located on the front of the building, above the storefront and below the new lights. This will be one flat sign board measuring 32-inches x 8-feet. It will be a plastic and aluminum lamination of approximately 1/8-inch thickness that will be mechanically attached to the exterior wall. The aluminum face will be painted white, and the graphics will be adhesive vinyl, resembling the look of a painted sign. Staff recommends approval of this proposed sign. It is compatible with the building, and can be relatively easily removed in the future. Note that a permit from the Building Department is required for this sign, regulating size and construction. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 518 E. Bowery Street, as presented in the application.

Burlington Street District: College Hill Conservation District Classification: Non -Contributing The applicant, the City of Iowa City/UniverCity program, is requesting approval for an alteration project at 1111 E. Burlington Street, a Non -Contributing property in the College Hill Conservation District. The project consists of entry door replacement, kitchen window replacement, and bedroom window replacement. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation GuidednesforAlterations 4.3 Doors 4.11 Siding 4.13 Windows Staff Comments Indetemvnate style. Constructed c.1890-1900, this two story house is front -gabled and has a full width porch that retains its classical columns. Fire insurance maps show that the front portion was originally a one and one-half story structure. The house has undergone numerous alterations, with resulting loss of historical integrity. Original siding and some details may still exist under the replacement siding. The proposed project consists of entry door replacement, kitchen window replacement, and bedroom window replacement. The existing entry door is not original and does not fit in the original door opening. The proposed replacement door will be a smooth fiberglass pre -hung door with new trim, sized to fit the opening. Door style is not indicated in the application and must be provided. The guidelines for doors emphasize the importance of maintaining the size of the original door opening. A new door should be similar in size, material, style, and appearance to the original historic door. The guidelines allow new doors made with smooth -finished, paintable fiberglass. The kitchen in this house is being remodeled. The applicant is proposing to remove an existing kitchen window on the east side at the rear of the house and replace it with a smaller window, altering the height of the window opening. To clear the height of the new kitchen counter, the new window will be shorter. The new window will be an aluminum -clad wood double -hung, similar to the existing window. The windows in this house are wood double -hung, with un-divided sash, and appear to be original. The guidelines for windows state that new windows should match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. The location of a new window should be consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. Metal - clad, solid -wood windows are acceptable. Infill of the wall below the new window will be required, and new siding should match the existing siding. The trim around the new window should match the trim at existing windows. The applicant is also proposing to replace an existing second floor window on the west side 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 an aluminum -clad casement window and it will have a simulated double -hung meeting rail. The new window must be sized to fit in the existing opening. In Staffs opinion, the proposed work is acceptable, although specific information about the replacement door and windows should be provided for final review and approval. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1111 E. Burlington Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Trim at new kitchen window to match trim at existing windows; Provide product information for replacement door and each replacement window, for review and approval by Chair and staff. 13F .

Burlington Street District: College Hill Conservation District Classification: Contributing May 2, 2014 The applicant, the City of Iowa City/UniverCity Program, is requesting approval for an alteration project at 1116 E. Burlington Street, a Contributing property in the College Hill Conservation District. The project consists of rebuilding the existing enclosed rear porch. The project also includes a new kitchen window. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation GuidednesforAlterations 4.5 Foundations 4.11 Siding 4.13 Windows Staff Comments Constructed c.1900, this cross -gabled two story house does not represent a distinct architectural style. It is similar in form to the next three houses west on Burlington, and reflects the architectural patterns of the College Hill area and the development after the turn of the century of the area east of Summit Street. The kitchen in this house is being remodeled. The proposed new window would be located in the north wall on the back of the house. It would be a metal -clad wood window, with trim to match the trim at existing windows. The existing windows in this house are double -hung, with un-divided sash, and the new window is shown similar on the proposed elevation drawings. Rebuilding the enclosed rear porch would start with demolition of all but the existing roof The new work would include a concrete foundation, wood framing, new windows and siding, and new interior finish. The proposed siding is HardiePlank fiber cement lap siding, and the proposed windows would be metal -clad wood windows. The new, fully conditioned space would be finished for a bathroom/laundry room. Note that the window locations shown on the proposed elevation drawings for the bathroom/laundry room do not match the proposed floor plan; a final design must be confirmed. Regarding foundations, rather than matching the existing material, the guidelines recommend smooth faced concrete for new foundation walls and allow concrete or rock -face concrete block for replacement foundation walls. In this case, smooth faced concrete walls are acceptable for the new work. The guidelines for siding allow wood substitutes, and fiber cement board with a smooth finish is acceptable The guidelines for windows state that new windows should match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. The location of a new window should be consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. Metal - clad, solid -wood windows are acceptable. In this case the proposed design is acceptable, although more specific information is still required for all new windows. In Staff's opinion, the proposed work is generally acceptable and approval is recommended, with conditions as noted below. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1116 E. Burlington Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: • Provide product information, including sizes, for all new windows; • Provide final design of enclosed porch (new bathroom/laundry room) for review and approval by Chair and staff. e �l CIE y F °lf y NOW, w - i r - i 5 I u 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.

IMVERNOR RE: Johnson County Poor Farm and Asylum Historic District, S. side Melrose Ave., 0,16 mi. E. of the jet. Melrose Ave and Slothtower Ave, Iowa City, Johnson County Dear Mr. Miklo: The State Nominations Review Committee (SNRC) plans to consider the property referenced above for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places during their June 13, 2014 meeting. As a participant in the Certified Local Government Program, Iowa City HPC is required to review and comment on proposed National Register nominations of properties within its jurisdiction, The State is required to provide you with a 60-day period for the review, unless we mutually agree to expedite the process. I am contacting you to ask that you initiate the review process for the Historic Preservation Commission. Enclosed are copies of the nomination, photographs, and the review form. The review process will require the following: ♦ The Historic Preservation Commission should review the nomination during one of their meetings. Send a formal invitation to the Mayor with a copy of the nomination. Send a formal invitation to the property owner/owners, If they are not familiar with the National Register, be sure to include an explanation. Make sure that a copy of the nomination is available for public review before the meeting. For example, leave a review copy at the courthouse or public library. Indicate in your meeting announcement that a review copy of the nomination is available and where the review copy can be found. The question to answer when reviewing the nomination is whether the nominated property meets the National Register of Historic Places significance criteria. If the Commission feels that the nomination makes the case for meeting significance criteria, the Commission should check the box recommending that the property be listed. If the Commission feels that the property does not meet the significance criteria, then check the box recommending that the property not be listed, The Mayor should use the same approach when reviewing the nomination. You might want to invite the individual who prepared the nomination to attend the public meeting and present the nomination. Keep a record of the meeting (copy of notice, agenda, minutes, list of attendees). At the conclusion of the meeting, the Commission should make a motion regarding their recommendation. The Chairman of the Commission will complete Item # 1, the Commission's portion of the review form. Be sure to fill in the date of the public meeting, sign the signature line and record any comments that were made. If the Mayor attended the public meeting, inquire if he/she is prepared to complete Item #2 on the review form. ♦ In the event that the Mayor was unable to attend the meeting. The Commission Chairman should forward the Review form to the Mayor for review and comment. Have the Mayor sign the form and return it to the Historic Preservation Commission. 9LA'IL 111_TORICAL RAILDIIJf, . 6001 L11CpS1 SI • M', MOINEC IA `.O3If' - 14 515,2R1 5H! - f-UI I IJ RALA If A I R't. 9Rt1 ♦ Item #3 on the Review form asks for the review and comment of a preservation professional. If your commission does not have a professionally qualified historian or architectural historian who can complete this part of the form, you may leave Item #3 blank and I will arrange to have a State staff member complete that part of the form. ♦ After you have completed items # i through #2 (through #3 if a preservation professional is available), please make a copy of the completed review forms for your file and send the original copies of the completed forms to me. ♦ The Commission should keep the nomination and photographs. File them together in your inventory, as you will need the information for future reference. If a State preservation professional was needed to complete Item #3 on the review form, I will return a copy to the commission for filing. If the Historic Preservation Commission and the Mayor disagree with one another on the property's National Register eligibility, both views will be presented to the SNRC for their consideration during review of the nomination. If both the Historic Preservation Commission (by Commission majority) and the Mayor do not consider the property eligible for National Register listing, we must halt the nomination. Be advised that when a nomination is halted, the property owner, the person who prepared the nomination or any interested party may appeal the decision. In addition, the nomination will still go forward to the National Park Service for an official "Determination of Eligibility." Please contact Paula Mohr at 515/281-6826 with any questions or concerns regarding the CLG program or the process for this review.

CALL TO ORDER: Swaim called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. and welcomed the new commissioners. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: 632 Brown Street. Miklo showed photos of and the location of the subject property on the corner of Brown and Dodge Street and said it's a contributing structure in the Brown Street Historic District. He said the first component of this proposal is to remove a porch enclosure on the back of the house and replace it with a new addition, which would include an extension of the garage at the lower level and widening of the driveway. He said the applicant had to get approval from the Board of Adjustment for a special exception for a building setback from the rear property line, and the Board put on a condition requiring some landscaping at the end of the driveway for pedestrian safety and aesthetics. He showed plans for the proposed changes. Miklo said there are Guidelines that apply in this situation and staff finds that overall the concept of the plan complies with those guidelines but there are details missing from the plan that need to be resolved before a building permit is issued. Miklo said one of the key elements that will need to be addressed is that the Guidelines call for rooflines that are proportional and in keeping with the historic structure and in this case staff recommends that for the lower addition the eaves be proportionally smaller so staff needs some detail of those eaves. He said that would also apply for the roof over the garage doors. Miklo said the house has obvious frieze board and detailing that need to be carried over to the addition and the plans should reflect that before approval. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 10, 2014 Page 2 of 7 Miklo said the applicant intends to match the concrete block material that would be used in the exposed part of the garage door and match the neighbor's retaining wall as it turns the corner. He said staff finds that the plan generally meets the Guidelines but they just today received product materials for the foundation block and garage doors and have not had the opportunity to verify that they match. Miklo said staff is recommending a Certificate of Approval for removal of the small porch and construction of the new addition with six conditions as outlined in the staff report. Swaim invited the contractor to speak. Russ Garrett of 3044 Rohret Road said he's there to answer any questions Sandell asked if the tree in the right of way will be affected at all. Miklo said he didn't believe it would be. He said it's in the City's right of way so the City Forester would be involved in any decision to remove it. Swaim asked if the owner has been able to use the garage. Garrett said they had, but you can't exit the car when it's in the driveway due to the retaining wall. Miklo said the change would certainly improve the visibility and safety of backing out of this driveway and would possibly enable one of the cars to swing around and go forward. Corcoran asked if the Board of Adjustment had approved the special exception. Miklo said that normally a twenty -foot rear yard setback is required, but the only way to add on to this property was to reduce that to eleven and one-half feet, which the Board did approve. Corcoran said that a special exception is a higher legal standard that has to be met and she appreciates that the Board of Adjustment has agreed that a special exception is warranted here and has granted it. Michaud said it looks like a good plan and it's harmonious with the style and the arcs in the front porch. She said it seems that just removing a limb or two from the tree should be enough. She said it changes the history so much by removing a tree. Garrett said that the Board of Adjustment actually wanted the applicant to make the driveway wider than originally planned, so it will be much safer. MOTION: Ackerson moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 632 Brown Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: applicants to provide product information for exposed foundation block; provide roof overhang dimensions; revise drawings to show frieze board and water table trim; provide product information for new garage doors, and for door at west side of new addition; provide final design and product information for new driveway and retaining wall; All of the above must be reviewed and approved by Chair and staff. Corcoran seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 ( Aaran. Clore and Litton absent). REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF: HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 10, 2014 Page 3 of 7 Swaim stated that this is available for review in the Commission packet PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION WITH FEMA AND OSA Miklo introduced Teri Toye, Environmental Protection Specialist from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), who was there because the National Historic Preservation Act Section 106, requires that federal agencies consider the effects of their undertakings on historic properties. She introduced all the speakers who would be presenting at this meeting. She said the focus of the presentation will be on Hancher Auditorium — Voxman School of Music- Clapp Recital Hall relocations and amending the memorandum of agreement (MOA) for the Iowa Memorial Union due to additional adverse effects. Toye explained that an undertaking is anytime a federal permit, license or funding is issued. She explained that historic properties are those buildings, structures, districts, objects or sites including archeological sites that are either listed in the National Register of Historic places or are determined eligible for listing by the federal agency. She said FEMA resolves adverse effects on the properties through the development and execution of a memorandum of agreement. Toye said the undertaking for the Hancher/Voxman/Clapp relocation is relocating those facilities out of the Iowa River Flood Plain. She said the project activities for these relocation projects include demolition, relocation out of the flood plain, site acquisition and preparation and construction of the new facilities. She said the new site for the building, just south of Park Road, is within the boundaries of the National Register eligible University of Iowa River Valley Historic District. Toye said that the Voxman and Clapp facilities will be at the southwest corner of Burlington and Clinton Streets, and FEMA determined that the area of potential affects for this undertaking included the ground disturbing activities associated with site preparation, demolition and excavation for those and extended to the buildings that surround those sites that could be potentially structurally or visually adversely affected by construction of the new facilities. She said they determined that it was not necessary to do an archeological survey during construction and that the two former bank buildings were less than fifty years old and did not meet the requirements of buildings less than fifty years old to be considered eligible for listing in the National Register. Toye explained that The University of Iowa purchased the Sabin School and offered it as a relocation site for a neighborhood bank. She said at that time, 2011, FEMA determined that the building was National Register eligible and began the process of developing a MOA. She said FEMA reviewed the purchase option agreement between the university and the bank and realized that the demolition wasn't certain, FEMA stopped the process and FEMA, the university, the State Historic Preservation Office, Iowa Homeland Security all signed a letter of agreement that said they would be notified if the building were to be demolished, at which point a memorandum of agreement would be developed, which is where they are today. She said that FEMA evaluated the Sabin School for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. She said it was constructed in 1917 -18 and was one of three schools that George Lockhart designed in Iowa City, including Longfellow School, which is listed in the National Register, and Horace Mann School, which has been determined potentially eligible. Toye said HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 10, 2014 Page 4 of 7 that despite some alterations and additions to the building and a change in its original use, FEMA determined that it did meet the requirements to be considered for listing in the National Register, therefore its demolition would result in adverse effects to historic properties. She said when the university notified FEMA in 2013 that the bank was going to demolish the school, FEMA reopened consultation with the State Historic Preservation Office with a finding of Adverse Effects to Historic Properties. She said it's FEMA's responsibility to resolve those adverse effects through the development and execution of a MOA, which is a legally binding document outlining steps to be implemented to offset or solve the adverse effects. Toye explained the steps taken to develop an MOA in these cases and said that through consultation FEMA will discuss the treatment measures and then she will draft the MOA and will circulate that amongst the potential consulting parties for a thirty day review and issue a revised version for another review if there are substantial changes. She said the project will not be closed out until the entire scope of work is completed, including the construction of Hancher, Voxman and Clapp and also the mitigation measures associated with the adverse effects. Toye said that FEMA does not advocate the outcome of this consultation process, and will not say what the mitigation measures should be. She said they have some requirements that need to be commensurate with the level of adverse effect and must have a benefit to historic preservation and the public and the local community where the adverse effects occur. Toye related the mitigation measures that were recommended previously for Sabin School including salvage of significant architectural features and reusable building materials; electrical and HVAC upgrade study for Longfellow and/or Horace Mann; a National Register nomination for Horace Mann School; implementation of preservation goals outlined in the City Historic Preservation Plan; additional documentation of the school and expanded Iowa site inventory form; suggestions from consulting parties and the public. Toye said the architects who are preparing plans for demolition of Sabin School have recommended the significant features that could or should be salvaged. She listed the features, which included the stone work. Toye said during demolition of the banks and excavation for construction of the School of Music archeological resources were discovered. She said she wanted to make sure that the Commission is aware of the significance of some of the archeological finds because they relate to the early history of Iowa City women and campus life. Angela Collins of the Office of the State Archeologist (OSA) showed a picture of one of the banks where the archeological site is located. She showed historic pictures of Iowa City in 1868 and showed where the School of Music site is located. She explained that one of the features discovered was a stone -lined well full of domestic materials. She said the next features were a limestone foundation and a wood -lined privy also full of domestic objects. She showed a number of pictures of these features and the artifacts as they looked when were initially discovered and during excavation. She said the dates of the artifacts, the early 1900s, correspond to a time when the house on the lot was occupied mainly by working women. She said there are records of the inhabitants of the property around the town the city was platted. Collins said these were all unexpected findings and OSA has processed all the findings as far as they can. She said there are mitigation measures that need to move the process further, as outlined in the OSA Data Recovery Plan, which include cleaning the artifacts from the field, processing, cataloging, researching and curating them. She said OSA also wants to present to HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 10, 2014 Page 5 of 7 the public about their findings with lectures, on-line, written articles, and exhibits locally. She said OSA wants to include more public interpretation to inform the actions and mitigation measures. She said they want to include the university population and other volunteers in processing artifacts. Toye explained that FEMA has a state-wide agreement in Iowa with a provision for unexpected archeological discoveries or unanticipated effects to historic properties. She said under this provision, the archeological site could not be preserved as it was in a construction zone. She said it was determined that the best way to get all the information out of there was documentation and data recovery and was a mitigation measure to develop and implement this Data Recovery Plan. She said they want to consider any other suggestions beyond what is in the draft Plan. Eric Wieland, the Environmental and Historic Preservation Advisor for Iowa, said this is a complicated project with many components, and what they are presenting tonight is one federal undertaking but the unanticipated discovery that the OSA discussed and the connected action of the demolition of the Sabin School are all connected actions legally for FEMA. Swaim said that if the thirty day public comment period started today, the Commission will have another meeting before that is over. She was told to prioritize possible measures and that any measure put forward will need to have a cost estimate and time line attached to it. Swaim asked if there will be any archeological work done once the Sabin School is demolished and Wieland said once the university completes the transaction with the bank for that land, that site is no longer part of the federal action and is not part of FEMA's responsibility. Toye said that any mitigation measures will needed to be completed before September 16, 2016, when the grant expires. Michaud asked if the windows and doors are salvageable and could be used for other schools. Toye said she would confer with David Kieft of the university to see if the current windows and doors are replacements. Toye said the Commission will have one or two opportunities to see the draft MOA. Toye explained the hazard mitigation for the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU). She said there were unanticipated archeological finds on the site. Cindy Peterson of OSA showed schematics and photographs of the site. She explained the sequence of events that led up to the findings. She said that this site is where the early wealthy residents of Iowa City constructed tenement buildings. She said eight contributing resources were identified at the site, which were three cisterns and five building or structure foundations and all the contributing resources pre -date the Civil War. She said this site was recommended eligible for National Register listing for its ability to provide new information about Iowa City's earliest residents. Toye said that an amended MOA for this site is in process and FEMA is inviting any other potential consulting parties or anyone else who has a significant role in completing any of the mitigation measures to sign the MOA amendment. She listed the agreed -upon mitigation measures. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION April 10, 2014 Page 6 of 7 Toye mentioned that due to the finding of trade beads at the School of Music site and projectile points at the IMU, Native American tribes were notified, but at this time none are interested in participating. Swaim said the information presented is important but that it's a very difficult process. She said the Commission will put this on their agenda for May 8'', 2014. Toye said they are asking for the Commission's recommendations for mitigation measures to resolve adverse effects as a result of demolition of Sabin School; the Commission's comments on the Draft Data Recovery Plan for the School of Music site and if they feel that is commensurate with the level of adverse effect; and the same with the Hubbard Park site. Toye said she thought what would be of particular interest to the Commission is how the information at the end of the OSA's process is disseminated to the public. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR MARCH 13, 2014: MOTION: Durham moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's March 13, 2014 meeting and public hearing, as written. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Agran, Clore and Litton absent). DISCUSS INCREASED NOISE LEVELS ADJACENT TO HISTORIC NEIGHBORHOODS Swaim reminded the Commission that at the last meeting they finalized a memo about noise levels and received a response from the Senior Building Inspector, Tim Hennes. Michaud said she met with Tim Hennes about this letter and was reassured that the City was responsive to historic neighborhoods and concerns about intrusive noise. She said that the standards being implemented in Iowa City are international standards. She said they discussed sustainability and how vented heated or cooled air to the inside was not in step with energy conservation, so they discussed the possibility of fan vent scrubbers, meaning that the air would be recirculated. She said the City will be enforcing international standards that the fan would be ten feet from the property line and/or the roof edge. She said if the decibel level is above 55 at night, it is not according to Smart Code standards. She said these international standards predated the concern about invasive, intrusive noise on neighbors. She said Hennes will be investigating if the fan is compliant with the code that was in effect when the construction took place. She said a mitigating possibility is a shield to deflect noise. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Durham moved to adjourn. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Agran, Clore and Litton absent). Minutes submitted by Joy Bayshore. 0 ac O U W T W 0 C.)
