The project consists of two parts a) removal of the garage and construction of a new storage building and b) adding to the roof dormer on the rear of the house. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.11 Siding 4.12 Site and Landscaping 4.13 Windows 4.14 Wood 6.0 Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings 7.0 Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features 8.0 Neighborhood District Guidelines 8.4 Northside Neighborhood Staff Comments This house is a Tudor Revival house constructed between 1929 and 1932. It features three -over -one lire double hung windows that are typically found in Craftsman Style homes. Wood lap siding clads the first floor and shingle siding clads the half -story above. A single fully exposed chimney is on the west side of the house. The front features a steeply -pitched front dormer and an entrance canopy that breaks the front eave. Project A: The applicant is proposing to remove the garage on the east side of the house and construct a simple garage - like storage building behind the house. The building would meet the guidelines for a garage and the roof would have a high pitch to blend well with the house. The building would have a carriage -style garage door on the street -facing side. It would have a door and window on the west side that would match the doors and windows on the house. The guidelines recommend saving and not demolishing any historic architectural features. New outbuildings should be constructed to the rear of the property and subordinate in size and ornamentation to the primary structure. New outbuildings should reflect the style of the primary structure. Car:.age-style garage doors may be used if they are a style appropriate for the property. Windows should be relatively small and rectangular. In Staff's opinion, the existing garage is not in character with the architecture of the house. It is unknown whether it was original or an early addition. The flat roof does not tie-in well with the house and disrupts the vertical emphasis of the archkectare. The removal of the garage could improve the architectural character of the house. The interior clearly shows original siding on the exterior wall of the house that would be intact once the garage is removed. Any new siding included to cover areas where the garage attached could be toothed in with existing siding salvaged from the removed garage, The proposed storage building would not meet the size requirements for a garage but would meet the owner's needs for motorcycle parking while allowing two parking spaces in the driveway instead of one. The lot is too small to add a conforming garage. The new outbuilding will have a front -pitched roofine which will work well with the house. In Staff's opinion, with doors, windows, siding, and roof matching those on the rest of the house, the new building will fit better with the house than the existing garage. Project B: The applicant is proposing to extend the width of the rear dormer on the back of the house. The shake shingle siding on the second floor would be continued in the new areas of the dormer. The new asphalt shingles and all trim would match the existing. New windows would match the original windows in type, style, material, and use of divided light patterns. The new dormer would provide space to expand a bedroom and add a bathroom to the house. The guidelines recommend designing dormers to be of a size, scale, and proportion consistent with the architectural style of the house. The face of the dormer should primarily be composed of windows. New dormers should not significantly alter the character of the historic building. Dormers should not be closer than 3 feet to an existing gable end to avoid significantly altering the original roof lines. In Staff's opinion, increasing the size of the existing dormer on the back of the house will not have a negative impact on the architectural character of the house. Because of the small size of this house, the typical 3 foot setback on each side could limit the viability of the proposed expansion and the ability to use the additional space as intended. It is possible that a smaller setback would be appropriate for this house because of its small size and because of the relative proximity of the neighboring houses and their ability to screen the view of the new dormer. The Commission may choose to allow an exception for the amount of setback required on this house, While the original drawings only had an 8 inch setback on each side, current drawings show the 1 '/z foot setback on each side. Staff opinion is that a reduction to a 2 foot setback may be enough to prevent the dormer width from disrupting the prominence of this roofline as viewed from the street. In the current design, the face of the dormer is composed mostly of siding rather than windows as the guidelines recommend. Because of the bathrooms in the new space, adding more or larger windows is not practical. An alternative approach that would have been used historically for the front of a house would be to create smaller individual dormers that allow the window to dominate the faces of the dormers. For this project, using three smaller dormers would not allow for the proposed use of the interior space. The location of the dormer on the back of the house may lessen the impact of the new window pattern on the historic character of the home. The Commission may find that an exception to the recommended amount of windows coverage is warranted for this project if they find it will not degrade the architectural character of the home.

The project consists of removing and reconstruction the front stoop and the front porch and adding an exterior door. Anulicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidehnes for Alterations 4.3 Doors 4.8 Masonry 4.10 Porches 4.12 Site and Landscaping 4.14 Wood Staff Comments This house is a Hipped -Cottage form with Prairie School Style design influences built in 1922. The house has brick veneer up to the bottom sill of the second floor windows and stucco walls above the brick to the eave. A low pitch hip roof has a shed roof attic dormer centered over the entrance. The off -center entrance is covered by a portico with square columns and a low arched roof. In 2004, the Commission approved a major alteration where the front of the house would be significantly changed with a new entry canopy, doors in the north and south sections of the facade, a new patio, new low brick wall and new steps. None of this work was subsequently completed. The applicant is proposing to rebuild the front stoop with new facing brick to match the original and a new stamped concrete pad to match the existing. The patio at the north front corner of the house will be reconstructed in the same manner. The walkway that connects the stoop and patio will be removed and lowered to grade with steps up to both reconstructed areas. The brick in -fill area at the patio will be replaced with metal -clad wood French doors primed and painted. They will have divided 'lights in a pattern that matches other doors on the house. The guidelines recommend adding new openings in a manner that is consistent with the current window or opening pattern and trimmed to match other doors and windows in the building. Materials can be substituted in place of wood when they are durable, accept paint, and approved by the Commission. Badly deteriorated porch components may be replaced with new ones that match the historic components in design and material. Replacing historic masonry involves matching color, size, and mortar width. Brick or concrete steps should be used on a masonry porch. In Staff's opinion, the north section of the front facade originally had a door opening. The existing brick in - FM does not match the rest of the house. Putting a new opening in that location will remove the mismatched brick and bring back more of the architectural character of the facade. Since the opening is larger than typical paired doors, a smaller set with sidelights has been considered. Concerned about making the opening subordinate to the main entry, staff felt that a simple pair of French doors is most appropriate for this location. Typically, because of maintenance issues, staff recommends wood or fiberglass doors on historic facades and discourages steel doors. The proposed door is an aluminum clad solid wood door that is much larger than is optimal for fiberglass door construction. The aluminum cladding will be painted and should be less of a maintenance issue than a steel door. Staff finds the aluminum cladding appropriate for this location. The brick and concrete stoop and patio are deteriorated so that reconstruction is necessary. The current configuration includes a raised path connecting them and requiring grates that block basement windows in that location. Rebuilding the stoop and patio to match existing and lowering the walk will allow the basement windows to allow more light and create a transition between the two exterior spaces. Staff finds this modification to the existing configuration appropriate for the historic character of the house. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at S Bella Vista Drive as presented in the staff report with the following conditions: The matched brick is approved by Staff and Chair �, N Tt i� .�� x Tl r � u .• _ i \ � _ ._ _� �� --a� � .

Dubuque Street Classification: Local Historic Landmark The applicant, Mitch King, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 716 N. Dubuque Street, a local Iowa City Landmark. The project consists of installing signage and a decorative crest on the west and north facades of the building. rApAlicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.8 Masonry Stail°'Comments Historic Significance This two and one-half story gable roof building (three and one-half stories on the north side) was constructed on this site in 1931 as a fraternity house. In the 1920s and `30s, fraternity and sorority houses were being built in various parts of Iowa City —there were eight built on North Dubuque alone between 1920 and 1933. These houses were often replacing houses that the Greek letter societies had purchased or rented to provide housing for their members. The new houses appear to have been architect -designed, although no architect has been identified for this house, and were primarily in various popular revival styles. This L-shaped house is an example of the Tudor Revival Style, with steeply pitched gables, half-timbering, and with stone surrounds at the doors and windows and quoined corner. A rear wing was added at the second floor level and this is covered with the traditional half-timbering. A small "garden gate" arch with stone surround is located to the left of the main entrance. In April 2016, the Commission approved an extensive project consisting of roof replacement, siding replacement on the dormers, tuck pointing and masonry repair, deck removal and brick wall reconstruction, door reconstruction, trim and window replacement, painting, and stair reconstruction. These projects are almost complete. The applicant proposes to install two 2 foot by 3 foot black painted metal Greek letters on the front of the building in a location where historically Greek letters were installed. On the North facade they propose to install a 3 foot tall decorative crest between the upper windows. The guidelines do not make recommendations for appropriate signage. Size and scale to avoid disrupting the historic character of the building is one concern for the Commission to consider. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation recommend installing objects in masonry by anchoring them through the mortar joint instead of creating holes in the masonry units which may lead to their future degradation. In Staffs opinion, the proposed signage reflects historic signage that was originally installed on the building. The satin black letters in the proposed size are simple enough to work with the architecture. The crest, while large, will fit as proposed between the windows. Staff finds that the location between the first and second floor windows below the proposed location and aligned with the ship decoration on the chimney might be more appropriate. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 716 N. Dubuque Street as presented in the staff report.

CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: 318 South Lucas Street. Bristow explained that this house was originally a UniverCity Partnership house but is non- contributing to the Governor Lucas Street Conservation District. She said that the applicant proposes to add an entrance canopy to the front entrance and remove and replace the entrance canopy on the side entrance. She said the side canopy needs to be replaced because it is sloping too far away from the house. Bristow showed photos of the two areas and photos of the similar proposed canopies. She said that the canopy would be an open gable and that the roof pitch would be similar to the pitch on the front -facing gable on the house. She referred to a photo and said that the ends of the brackets would not project because that would be typical of a Craftsman style which this house is not. She said the bracket ends would be covered by the fascia similar to another photo she showed. Bristow said the canopies would have roof shingles to match the house. They would also be painted to match the house. Wagner said to make sure the roofers use short enough nails that they don't protrude through the open roof below. Typical nails are too long. MOTION: Litton moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 318 South Lucas as presented in the application. Baker seconded the motion.

Bristow explained that this house is representative of popular vernacular house styles in the Goosetown area. Built in 1913, it has similar details to popular homes available by catalog at the time. Bristow noted that the garage is new construction approved in 2007. Bristow said that the applicant is proposing to install 20 solar panel modules on the garage roof with 10 on each side of the north/south facing gable end garage. Because of the lower elevation of the alley and garage area, the solar panels would not be visible from the street. Bristow explained that these solar panels will not mount as previously approved solar panels that were mounted to the vertical seams in metal roofs. Because the garage roof is asphalt shingles, the panels will be attached through the roof structure. Some panels and similar elements will be located on the rear of the house. Kuenzli asked if the edge of the panel could be dark instead of white so it would blend in with the roof. Bristow said she would contact the contractor to see if that is possible. MOTION: Litton moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 813 Ronalds Street as presented in the application. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 10-0 (Agran absent). :1ai]0&KOW[y:1:irla197_\rmpg 6�Yn:1III :Y&GIMM _1I:7_1►U>F9/_1a9 Certificate of No Material Effect - Chair and Staff Review 728 Colleae Street. Bristow said this property is in the College Green Historic District. She said the applicant is reconstructing the stairs and moving them in slightly to the east so that they do not extend past the edge of the house into the driveway. Bristow said that the applicant originally wanted to dismantle part of the brick porch wall and move the stairs to that location but that would have compromised the architectural character of the house. The driveway will be replaced at a lower elevation too. Michaud asked about the garage. Bristow said that the applicant wanted to rebuild the garage but that the original location was not possible due to code requirements. The garage, destroyed in the 2006 tornado is no longer grandfathered in. 807 South Summit. Bristow explained that this house is a duplex in the Summit Street Historic District. The south - facing front door was destroyed by accident and will be replaced with a door that matches the east -facing front door.

Bristow said that this house in the Summit Street Historic District has a new owner and is being rehabbed. The owner is repairing all of the windows on all three sides of the original main section of the house. The windows on the additions on the north, south and west sides will be replaced.

The three different railings will be replaced with one simple metal railing. AMENDMENT FOR THE NATIONAL REGISTER COLLEGE GREEN HISTORIC DISTRICT: HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION July 14, 2016 Page 4 of 7 Bristow said that information about the house was submitted to the State to get it to issue an opinion that the house would still be considered eligible for the National Register, once it is moved. She said that this can be controversial because it is a moved structure not in its original location. Bristow said that because Iowa City has a history of moving structures, it is not as controversial here. Bristow said the State provided a written opinion that the State would still consider the structure eligible for the National Register. She said the opinion also stated that the district should probably be amended, because if the building is considered contributing, then any future owner could get tax credits, etc. Bristow said it would be more cohesive if this is considered a contributing structure. She said that involves removing the original house from the district and including this one in the district. Bristow said the information will include comparing the sites and comparing the neighborhoods from the original location to the new location. She said that most of this has been compiled in the original document to the State. Bristow said the packet contains just the first draft of the information that needs to go to the State. Bristow said the draft will go to the State with a deadline of August 1 st. She said the State works with staff to tweak the draft before the final deadline of December 1 st. Bristow said it will be on the national agenda in February. MOTION: Kuenzli moved to amend the College Green Historic District to include the Houser -Metzger House, as outlined by staff.

He said that Bristow and Swaim are attending, and the City would pay for the registration and travel expenses of one more Commission member if anyone is interested. Henry Fisk Reception. Swaim stated that the Commission has been contacted by someone who has been documenting the architect, Henry Fisk, regarding sharing in some kind of event in honor of his work. Miklo said the owner of one of his houses, which received a preservation award in the past, has formed a group of owners of his houses. He said that Fisk was active in Iowa City from the 1930s through the 1960s, and his firm designed the Iowa City Airport terminal. Miklo said he also designed the City Hall building, in partnership with Roland Wehner, although the building looked much different initially. Miklo said that Fisk also designed several quite interesting houses throughout Iowa City and several north of Iowa City in the Dubuque Street area. Miklo said that the Fisker group would like to hold a reception and is requesting that the Commission co-sponsor it, which also makes it easier to hold the event in a City building. He asked if the Commission would like to co-sponsor this event. Swaim said that one of the advantages is that this would be something proactive that the Commission could do that would bring attention to more recent architecture and housing, a lot of it in the Manville Heights area. Trimble said that Friends of Historic Preservation would be more than happy to co-sponsor the reception with the Commission. Miklo suggested the Johnson County Historic Preservation Commission as another co-sponsor, because several of the buildings are in the unincorporated part of the County. Swaim stated that part of the Commission's work plan is to hold events that are educational and to build its audience and such. She said this is a good opportunity. Swaim said the website was put together by Sue Rhomberg and is called HenryFisk.com. Swaim asked for a volunteer to be a point person to work with Friends of Historic Preservation and Rhomberg. Swaim said that Rhomberg would like to hold the reception at the Airport terminal, which was designed by Fisk. Builta agreed to work on the project. Other.

Bristow said the City will be getting $25,000 from the State in order to help with that proposal. She said that more will be going on with that project, but this money is earmarked for the roofing. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION July 14, 2016 Page 6 of 7 Kuenzli said that at the last meeting, the Commission had discussed water issues with regard to the Habitat for Humanity house to be built on Seventh Avenue. She asked if any additional information had become available since that time. Bristow said that she has talked with the builders. She said they do plan to make sure the house is waterproof. Bristow said she does not know all of the methods to be used, but the builders plan to do everything they can to prevent water issues. Swaim added that Joyce Carroll, of the Parks and Recreation Department, has been working for several years to draw attention to the cabins and to try to get money and grants, and finally the right combination of grant writing has been put together. She said this is a big first step. ELECTION OF OFFICERS: Swaim said the Commission offices are for one-year terms.
