Staff Report January 5, 2022
Historic Review for HPC21-0114: 2525 Highlander Place
District: I-80 Corridor
Classification: Local Historic Landmark
The applicant, Slingshot Architecture, is requesting approval for a proposed demolition and alteration project
at 2525 Highlander Place, the Highlander Supper Club and Convention Center, a Local Historic Landmark
property in the I-80 Corridor. The project consists of the reconstruction of the west-facing entry canopy, the
removal of the modern portions of the south-facing entry canopy and its return to its original configuration,
the exposure of the original west-facing clerestory windows, the installation of cedar shingles on the mansard
cornice and the replacement of the sliding glass doors in the hotel rooms and the replacement of the west
entry door.

Staff Comments
The Highlander Supper Club was built in 1967 and the Convention Center, a part of the original concept, was
added in 1973. The original Supper Club is a single-story building to the west end of the complex. The
Convention Center addition includes the central section with ballroom, two wings of rooms to the east and
the pool and courtyard between them enclosed under a roof. The brown brick-clad Supper Club features a
mansard cornice and stone entry wall. Four steel columns that were original canopy supports also remain.
The Convention Center addition is clad in similar brick with a heavy cornice band and a rhythm of large glass
sections separated by brick pilasters. The lobby vestibule is clad in the same stone as the entry wall on the
earlier Supper Club. The hotel wings have a similar treatment with the lower portion of the wall also clad in
brick and the pattern encompassing two stories. The original hotel room windows have been replaced. The
pool addition has an operable glass wall opening on to a grass courtyard between the hotel wings. A two-story
café with penthouse opens onto the west end of the enclosed pool area as do some of the hotel rooms.
Proposal
The applicant is proposing to reconstruct the missing west entry canopy as part of a larger rehabilitation of
the Supper Club utilizing State Historic Tax Credits. The existing brick base and steel columns will be cleaned
and repaired as necessary. EIFS material (similar to a synthetic stucco) will be removed from the clerestory
windows over the stone-clad west entry. The existing wood-frame, amber-glass windows will be exposed and
repaired as necessary. The existing entry door will be replaced with a new storefront (a glazing system) entry
and transom with the soffit above at the original full height. The exterior brick and stone cladding will be
repaired as needed. The black plywood cladding at the mansard cornice and vaulted roof above will be
removed. See sheets AD101 and AD201 for this work.
The mansard cornice, vaulted roof, and vaulted roof soffit will be clad in new cedar shingles. The roof will be
covered in a new roof membrane over insulation See sheets A202, A301, A504 for this work. The west
entrance canopy will be reconstructed following the original design as closely as possible. An original drawing
is included for reference on sheet A301. The canopy detail drawings are shown on sheet A503 and A504. The
new canopy will have the original pan-like profile with upturned outside edges mirroring the angle of the
vaulted roof beyond. The new canopy will include scuppers, a commercial built-in gutter system similar to the
original canopy.
At the south entry canopy to the Convention Center, the EIFS panel covering over the canopy will be
removed exposing the original stone cladding on the canopy. The brick column surrounds will be removed
exposing original steel columns. The stone cladding will be replaced to match only if necessary. At the south
end, the canopy projection will be rebuilt to match the original overhang as closely as possible (3/A505). The
steel columns with be clad in GFRC, a glass, fiber-reinforced concrete because it is more durable than the
original metal cladding and the vehicle route is in a close proximity to the columns. See drawings AD201,
A202, A302, A505 and A506 for this work.
For the rest of the building, little work remains. The sliding glass doors between the rooms and the exterior
courtyard will be replaced with the project. See sheets AD202 A201 for this work. Otherwise, all other work
was completed prior to the landmark designation. Replacement of the room windows will occur with a future
project.
Historic Preservation Guidelines
Section 4.3 Doors recommends replacing badly deteriorated doors with new doors or salvaged doors that are
similar in size, material, style, and appearance. It is disallowed to install sliding patio doors if they were not
original to the building or consistent with the architectural style. It is also disallowed to block down door
openings to accommodate standard door sizes. Section 4.7 Mass and Rooflines recommends replacing a
special historic shingle with one of a similar style when the old shingles need replacing. Original roof pitches
and spans should be preserved. Section 4.8 Masonry states that sandblasting and water blasting historic
masonry is disallowed. Replacement masonry units should appear similar to the existing masonry units in
color, texture and size. Mortar should be similar in hardness to the original mortar. Section 4.13 Windows
recommends preserving historic windows by repairing sashes and frames. Windows should not be removed
or closed if they detract from the overall fenestration pattern.
Section 4.10 Porches is included since this section relates most-closely to the work on the entry canopies.
This section recommends repairing historic porches and conserving as much of the historic material as
possible. Badly deteriorated components should be replaced with new ones that match the historic
components in design and material. Missing balustrades (or other elements) should be constructed using
historic photographs if available. It is disallowed to remove a front porch or change the original roof pitch.
Section 5.1 Expansion of the building footprint is included here because, like the porch section above, it
includes language related to the canopy reconstruction. The section recommends constructing new porches
that are consistent with eth historic building or similar to porches of the same architectural style. It is also
recommended to preserve significant historic materials and features of the original structure.
Section 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant features recommends removing additions or
alterations that are not historic and that significantly detract from the building’s historic character. It is
disallowed to remove any historic architectural feature… that is significant to the architectural character and
style of the building.
Staff Review and Recommendation
As we can see from the guidelines, several aspects of past work on the building would have been disallowed if
the building had been a landmark at that time: removing the west canopy, covering the clerestory windows,
replacing the cedar shingles with plywood, shortening and covering the south canopy and its columns. This
project addresses these issues by removing the later alterations and reconstructing missing canopy features. In
Staff’s opinion, this project is appropriate and will help the building regain some of the historic character that
the Commission found eligible for preservation and local landmark designation.
Since the guidelines are written specifically for much older residential buildings, their relationship to this more
modern commercial building is not as clear as typical Commission reviews. Staff finds that the work can still
be reviewed for approval utilizing the guidelines. Specifically, the work follows the recommendations of the
guidelines as described: The original brick and stone will be cleaned and repaired as needed. This brick is
more modern than most brick found in our historic districts but will still be cleaned appropriately with any
damaged brick replaced to match the existing including matching mortar joints. The existing mansard
cladding which appears to be painted plywood or particle board, will be removed and cedar shingles to match
the original cladding will be installed. The EIFS cladding over the west clerestory windows will be removed,
exposing the original glass and restoring this element of the window patterning which is an integral part of
the architectural detailing at the west entry. Utilizing the original steel columns that remain, the west entry
canopy will be reconstructed following the evidence in photographs and original drawings. The south canopy
which had been covered in brick with heavy brick piers and an arched fascia will exposed through the
removal of the brick cladding. The end of the canopy which projected beyond the columns to the south
originally, will be reconstructed as close as possible to its original proportions. The original columns were
square steel columns. The current proposal includes thin square columns, similar to the original proportions,
but clad in a fiber-reinforced cement that will be painted black. This material would be considered a
customary material for commercial applications. It can be smooth like the original metal but should perform
better with salt, weather and automobiles. Staff recommends approval of this change to the original material.
At the Supper Club entry door, drawing 1/A503 shows that a lower soffit constructed above the door will be
removed and the original Glu-lam beam will be exposed over the door transom. A new storefront of paired
doors with transom above will be installed in the opening at the original height. At the individual hotel rooms,
the sliding glass doors, will be replaced with new sliding glass doors. The guidelines disallow sliding glass
doors unless they were original to the building or part of the architectural style. It is likely that the building
original had sliding glass doors. This type of door is popular in hotel locations at a balcony or courtyard. In
addition, sliding glass doors became popular and were used widely during the 1960s and 1970s when the
building is built. Staff finds there use here appropriate.
Finally, staff finds that the project follows the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation which
are included in Section 10 and are the basis for the development of the guidelines originally. In particular, the
guidelines which staff finds relevant to the project are as follows:
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal
change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic
materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that
characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of
missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.

Memorandum
Date: January 6, 2021
To: Historic Preservation Commission
From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: 2022 Work Plan
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requires the Commission to submit a Work Plan
annually as part of our Certified Local Government agreement. For last year’s work plan an
effort had been made to align the work with the broader goals of the City Council as outlined in
the Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Plan intends to foster a more inclusive, just, and sustainable Iowa City by
prioritizing the physical, mental, and economic well-being of all residents.
• Advance Social Justice, Racial Equity, and Human Rights
• Demonstrate Leadership in Climate Action
• Strengthen Community Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations
• Invest in Public Infrastructure, Facilities and Fiscal Reserves
• Foster Healthy Neighborhoods and Affordable Housing Throughout the City
• Enhance Community Mobility for All Residents
• Promote an Inclusive and Resilient Economy Throughout the City
The new City Council will develop a new strategic plan in the coming months. The current plan
is included for the Commission’s reference. Following discussion and update of work plan
progress, the Commission’s workplan will be reviewed for approval at the February Commission
meeting.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
2021 Historic Preservation Work Plan
The Historic Preservation Commission annually updates its work plan. This year we aligned our
work around the goals that the City Council outlined in the Strategic Plan.
Advance Social Justice, Racial Equity, and Human Rights
Recent Accomplishments
Civil Rights Grant. This two-part project with grant funding from the National Park Service was
completed with the successful listing in the National Register of Historic Places of both the Tate
Arms and the Iowa Federation Home, two important sites in Iowa City’s Civil Rights History.
Educational signage and digital online materials were also created. The research and
information from the project will continue to be used in future presentations to educate and
inform the public.
Short Term Goals
Get clarity from the City Council on staffing a subcommittee charged with telling the full history
of Iowa City. Staff and the Commission should discuss the purpose and make-up of the
subcommittee, as well as specific goals and actions of this endeavor.
Online Heritage Map: Several local landmarks and historic resources within existing historic
districts tell a story of Iowa City’s historic efforts to advance social justice, racial equality, and
human rights. We should tell those stories and allow citizens to see the physical structures
connected with the historic struggles for justice.
Long Term Goal
Partner with Parks and Recreation Commission, Public Art Commission, Lucas Farms
Neighborhood, and other community organizations to make Oak Grove Park a public space that
honors the site’s heritage. The park, originally owned by the railroad, was home to many
Mexican immigrants who lived in company-owned housing, old boxcars. Many of those
immigrants moved into the surrounding neighborhood. When the City sold Elm Grove Park, near
the Johnson County Administration Building, it bought the land where Oak Grove Park now sits.
The park is currently scheduled for major renovation in 2026 or 2027 which provides plenty of
time for us to investigate outside funding sources and develop a community plan that makes it a
public space both for the neighborhood but also the City.
Demonstrate Leadership in Climate Action
Good preservation is about using the least invasive measures first and then working up to
removal and replacement only if necessary. This tactic values embodied energy and minimizes
construction waste.
Ongoing Work
One of the fundamental principles of historic preservation is to preserve, reuse, and adapt rather
than demolish and create waste. Our work and previous commission’s work has kept
immeasurable tons out of landfills.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
Short Term Goals
We need to continue to advocate that embodied energy is worth valuing. Currently the Climate
Action Committee does not take this into consideration. We should continue to advocate to fix
this. While what we’ve saved from landfills is immeasurable, embodied energy in existing
materials is still measurable.
Provide resources for energy efficiency, repair, and maintenance of older homes on the City’s
website. Structures built before World War II, used different methods of construction compared
to construction of today. Trying to modernize an old structure with modern technologies often
isn’t the right approach. Sometimes it’s the wrong approach. There are significant ways to
increase energy efficiency in older homes that are minimally invasive. There are ways to repair
and maintain a home and keep resources out of the landfill. Other organizations have already
documented these. We should just find a way to make them available for more citizens.
Contribute to the discussion on demolition. As the Climate Action Commission considers how to
deal with demolition, we should contribute. And so should other commissions. If we’re serious
about climate change, we should be serious about demolition and the waste it produces. The
cost to the environment, even considering dumping fees, doesn’t match the $50 fee. Some
cities are discussing removing demolition by right. Rather than just paying for a demolition fee,
citizens are given an opportunity to evaluate the new structure - and make sure the new
structure aligns with our expressed values - do we get affordable housing, is it energy efficient,
are there significant elements of history of the building that should be valued?
Long Term Goal
Develop a disaster preparedness guide for preservation. As the effects of climate change
manifest themselves in more natural disasters, we need to be prepared. The 2020 derecho,
followed the 2008 floods, and the 2006 tornado. The City earned national awards for its work
around the 2006 tornado. The commission and city staff should develop a playbook for when a
disaster hits (because one will again). The goal would be to more rapidly know how to provide
support to those dealing with a disaster.
Strengthen Community Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations
The Commission, as a Certified Local Government, is the place for intergovernmental relations
success. We work with SHPO and the National Parks Service, who oversees historic sites
across the country. We also are trying to engage cross-departmentally with other commissions
where our work overlaps.
Ongoing work
Annual Historic Preservation Awards: The annual awards program highlights successful
preservation work within the community and the expertise of contractors and consultants. As
one of the Commission’s main forms of community outreach, the awards are a high priority
every year and attract an audience of about 100 people. The annual awards have been moved
to May to coincide with Preservation Month activities. The awards will require Commission
involvement for nominating properties and for work on the awards sub-committee producing the
awards. We will continue to partner with Johnson County Historic Preservation Commission.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
New Commissioner Recruitment: With three vacant positions, we should recruit new
commissioners.
Short Term Goals
Meeting with Realtors: The first of perhaps an annual meeting with Realtors to help them
understand the benefits of historic districts and what the trade-offs are. The Homebuilders often
feel like they are the ones who have to tell new property owners about historic districts.
Increased Digital online presence: The City has valuable resources and information on historic
properties in several different formats. Currently the ability for the public to access this
information is dependent upon the format of the information. Digitizing hardcopy information and
combining it with existing digital information in a searchable online database would make this
information about city history more available for property owners and researchers. The City is
considering a revamp of its website, we should try to partner when this happens.
Invest in Public Infrastructure, Facilities and Fiscal Reserves
The city assets need care and occasionally reinvestment. Doing a little work along the way
helps avoid urgent situations down the road.
Recent Accomplishments
Three City-owned assets on the National Historic Register became local landmarks: The Old
Post Office (now the Senior Center); the Old Settler’s Cabins in City Park, and the Ned Ashton
House. The Old Settler’s Cabins were also rehabilitated.
Short Term Goals
Follow-up on the commission’s request to City Staff on the Montgomery-Butler House. In May
2020 the Commission requested that staff from the Planning Department, Public Works, and
Parks help develop a working group to map out the work of this city-owned historic asset. In
1998, as part of a Memorandum of Agreement for the development of the new water plant, the
City mothballed the Montgomery/Butler House, a significant historic resource, for roughly
$70,000.
Summit Street Monument: In 2019 the consultant, Atlas Preservation, completed the “Summit
Street Monument Assessment and Conservation Options Plan” that was financed in part
through a Certified Local Government Grant. Given the ongoing deterioration of the monument,
the Commission will review the options and recommend an appropriate action to City Council.
Enhance Community Mobility for All Residents
These are largely transit and transportation related goals. Many preservationists are
sympathetic to these issues. Historic neighborhoods were designed to accommodate
pedestrians, transit, and modes of transportation that aren’t car-reliant. The Commission should
consider how we might engage on this when opportunities arise.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
Foster Healthy Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Throughout the City
Many older neighborhoods, that are now historic districts, were designed with mobility,
neighborhood commercial nodes, and a variety of housing types in one neighborhood.
Ongoing work
The core work is protecting healthy neighborhoods. Many of the districts were developed out of
a response to unhealthy developments in these areas that motivated the neighborhoods to take
action. We help provide stability and provide a platform for reinvestment.
Historic Preservation Fund. With the implementation of the fund in FY 2018, the Fund has
approved 28 grants or loans improving 25 properties. This is a popular program which has
helped property owners maintain the historic character of their properties and has helped keep
valuable material out of the landfill.
Be ready to partner with neighborhoods interested in historic preservation. There’s been some
interest in the past, particularly the Lucas Farms-Kirkwood Avenue area with reconnaissance
surveys and our job is to be ready and willing partners.
Short Term Goals
Advocate for the continuation or growth of the UniverCity Program. The success of the program
has helped stabilize historic neighborhoods and provide affordable housing.
Long Term Goal
Work to get form-based code for areas that are adjacent to or are surrounded by historic
districts. The exchange between the public and developers in form-based code is that the code
would allow for different uses which the public would need to accommodate, but in turn they
would get more certainty about community values such as walkability, affordability, and the look
and feel of the neighborhood. Developers get more flexibility in use in exchange for
requirements in form. The areas that are adjacent to, or surrounded by, historic districts often
are areas where development disagreements happen. Form-based code in these areas would
help reduce some of that friction and would align with goals set by council and staff.
Promote an Inclusive and Resilient Economy Throughout the City
Preserving our physical heritage is an asset to an inclusive and resilient economy. Preservation
is a tool for economic growth. The preservation work done in our districts is often done by
smaller local businesses, and potential for growth opportunities exist in smart deconstruction
and trade development for contractors who have specific skills related to older homes.
Recent Successes
The Tailwinds development on College St. This development is an exciting mix of the historic
and new. We have several historic commercial buildings saved and new development.
The Highlander is making an old structure vibrant by reviving its history. Their efforts to become
a local landmark as part of these efforts should be supported. They intend to take advantage of
tax credits.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
Short Term Goals
Downtown National Register Historic District. This is scheduled to be reviewed by the State
Nomination Committee in February. This has been a long-sought goal.
For consideration
Revolving loans for tax credits: In talking to Downtown property owners, some of them
expressed concern about the timeline of tax credits. They are available on the backend, but
often cash is needed up front. The idea would be to create a 12-18 month loan option to bridge
the immediate construction needs until project completion when the tax credits are available.
Transfer of Development Rights Revisit: The previous council opted to not consider a specific
TDR proposal that was developed on a tight timeline. We have had two (or maybe three) new
council members since then. A new TDR proposal could be developed without the constraints of
making them work for a specific property so they could benefit the whole community.
Opt in incentives for local landmarks in commercial zones. One of the challenges I have heard
about local landmarks or historic districts with primarily commercial buildings is that the needs of
the building may be different than residential properties. Often, more flexibility is needed to
make old buildings work. As a city, we can incentivize all kinds of things we value, there’s no
reason why commercial landmark properties can’t be part of that mix.
Long Term Goals
Consider partners on a historic trades mentorship program. Dubuque’s HEART program is a
model example of this - training high school students in trades related to preservation, while
transforming blighted neighborhoods (largely historic) back into livable and walkable
neighborhoods and helping young people achieve goals of graduation and career training.
Those who have been through the program often start small businesses in the trades they have
learned.
Ongoing Administration of Our Work
Short Term Goals
Update of the College Green Historic District: In 2016, the Commission approved the relocation
of the Houser-Metzger House from 422 Iowa Avenue to 623 College Street where the
contributing structure had been damaged beyond repair by fire and water. In order for the
relocated house to be considered contributing to the Historic District, an amendment to the
National Register-listed district is required as a first step. This amendment will be reviewed by
the Commission following revision by staff and the District representative.
Update of the Iowa City Preservation Handbook (Maps): The most recent version of the
handbook was updated in 2010 and does not include several recent changes and needs to be
reviewed for accuracy. Since many properties have changed status (for example, a non-
contributing property has become contributing because of siding removal and porch
rehabilitation) in the past ten years, the maps, which are the basis for review-type, application
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
of exceptions, and in some cases eligibility of the Historic Preservation Fund, are outdated. The
full Commission would review and approve updated maps.
Long-term goal
One of the at-large positions of the commission is reserved for a professional in the industry. In
a recent meeting between the Home Builder Association, your chair, and several city staff
members, they suggested that one of the at-large positions be designated for a professional
builder, tradesperson, or architect (or perhaps preservationist). Frank Wagner served three
terms. Quentin Pitzen currently does this work. We could define this at-large position for
someone who does this work professionally.
Preserve our Heritage
Our history belongs to all of us. We owe it to ourselves and future generations of Iowa Citians
that we preserve the physical aspects of this history and make sure our shared history isn’t
forgotten. This work often encompasses multiple areas of the priorities set by Council. Our
shared heritage is worth preserving as its own goal.
Recent Successes:
Sanxay-Gilmore House. The University has a plan to move, restore, and use this house.
Cochran-Dennis House is a local landmark. The compromise proposal has been approved by
council.
Self-starting landmarks: We’ve had several that we’ve helped shepherd through the process.
We should continue conversations with interested property owners. And be mindful of
opportunities that present themselves.
Short Term Goal
2040 Waterfront Drive Intensive Survey: Funded in part through a Certified Local Government
Grant, an intensive survey of the property at 2040 Waterfront Drive was completed. The final
document will be provided to the Commission and the property owner for their review in the
coming months.
Long Term Goals
Evaluation of Mid-century Modern Housing Stock: Since these properties have reached historic
status, Commissions across the country are developing plans for how to evaluate them. In Iowa
City, many of the areas where they are concentrated have not been reviewed but could begin
with reconnaissance-level surveys in future years.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS:
HPC21-0100: 812 Church Street – Goosetown/Horace Mann Conservation District (deck,
window, and door changes)
Bristow said this house was re-built after a 1933 fire, and it has synthetic siding and a one-story
addition with a gable roof on the back with a deck and a small bump-out. She said part of the
proposal is to remove the door from the bump out to turn it into a first-floor bathroom. She said
the applicants would add a window that matches the proportions and structure of the current
historic windows on the front of the house. A sliding door would replace the rear window in the
house to the west of the bump out. Bristow said Staff recommends granting the exception for
the sliding door because it is already on the rear of the 1978 addition and further up the hill so it
is not as visible. She said they also want to replace the sliding window in the kitchen with a
double-hung window. They would also replace two others windows further south in this wall as
well. From work on the interior, they found the framing of the original windows in that location
and would like to install windows that fit that.
On the east side, Bristow said they propose separating the double-hung windows in the
bedroom, which Staff supports. She said the applicants also have a desire to get rid of all of the
deck in the back in order to maximize their space, so they propose tucking the deck into the
notch between the bump out and the house. She said Staff would like for the Commission to
grant an exception to their required 8” setback from the west wall of the house, and that the rest
of the deck drawings could be approved in a future staff review project or with new drawings as
part of this project.
Wagner asked what types of windows will be in the bedroom. Bristow said one of the windows
will be a casement window egress.
MOTION: DeGraw moved to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at
812 Church Street as presented in the application with the following conditions: window
and door product information is approved by Staff and deck drawings are approved by
Staff. Wagner seconded. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0.
HPC21-0101: 1101 Kirkwood Avenue – Local Historic Landmark (enclosure of rear entry porch
and kitchen window changes)
Bristow said several of the historic changes within the house were complicated and hard to see.
She talked through past alterations to the house and how they were visible. She said the porch
was originally Italianate like the house and wrapped around the side of the house, but it is now
deeper and does not extend even to the corner of the house. She said it now has some thicker
and simpler columns and a differing door configuration from the original. She said some of the
kitchen windows have been altered and are smaller and have a different trim than the historic
windows.
Bristow said for the current project the applicants wish to fully enclose the area in the back that
was originally an open porch but has been enclosed with storm windows. The new area will
create a mudroom and a larger overall space for the pantry. She said they also propose moving
some windows that are currently at the interior wall to this porch area. This pair of windows will
be moved to the first-floor south wall where there is currently one window. The new wall
enclosure will include a door but no window. Bristow showed a drawing with a window and
without to show how each fit in the space..
Kuenzli asked if the existing window in the pantry would be wider than the new door within the
new space. Bristow said yes, that the door would be smaller because the existing historic
window is larger than a typical door opening.
MOTION: Wagner moved to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at
1001 Kirkwood Avenue as presented in the application with the following conditions:
door product information is approved by Staff. DeGraw seconded. The motion carried on
a vote of 7-0.
REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF:
Certificate of No Material Effect – Chair and Staff Review
HPC21-0089: 427 Brown Street – Brown Street Historic District (porch railing replacement)
Bristow said the non-historic porch railing is rotting, so it is being replaced.
HPC21-0096: 414 Brown Street – Brown Street Historic District and Local Landmark (windowsill
replacement)
Bristow said one windowsill is rotting on the brick house so it is being replaced.
HPC21-0020: 1519 Center Avenue – Dearborn Street Conservation District (tuck-pointing,
masonry repair, soffit and fascia repair)
Bristow said the work will mainly be done on the chimney but also a bit on the main house. The
soffit repair is above the front door.
HPC21-0104: 125-127 East College Street – Local Historic Landmark (window cloud signs)
Bristow said these are a few sign applications that have been approved. This one involves vinyl
window signs which will not impact the historic building
Minor Review – Staff Review
HPC21-0084: 728 East Washington Street – College Hill Conservation District (new rear deck
and railings)
Bristow said they are rebuilding the deck at this sorority house to follow the guidelines.
HPC21-0098: 200 South Summit Street – East College Street Historic District (roof shingle
replacement)
Bristow said this house has been re-roofed with new shingles.
HPC21-0097: 531 Clark Street – Clark Street Conservation District (roof repair and shingle
replacement, skylight installation)
Bristow said the large two-story addition on the back was damaged by a falling tree, so that is
being repaired with the addition of skylights in the roof.
HPC21-0105: 125-127 East College Street – Local Historic Landmark (projecting blade sign)
Bristow said this building will also have a new projecting sign, along with the other approved
sign applications (window clings).
HPC21-0108: 727 Rundell Street – Longfellow Historic District (window replacement)
Bristow said someone had replaced all of the windows on the house with inappropriate windows
at one point in time. Those have been replaced again. The current project is the result of current
issues they are having with the repair company for the two original windows on the house. New
sashes were approved for these kitchen windows.
Intermediate Review – Chair and Staff Review
HPC21-01013: 741 Oakland Avenue – Longfellow Historic District (new porch pier)
Bristow said a porch pier was being added to this porch at an area where a previous owner had
enclosed part of the porch to have an enclosed entryway but had not added a support for the
corner of the house.
CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR OCTOBER 14, 2021:
MOTION: Beck moved to approve the minutes from October 14, 2021. DeGraw seconded.
The motion carried on a vote of 7-0.
COMMISSION INFORMATION:
Bristow said the Commission occasionally does Section 106 reviews, and she said she recently
received one that involves adding some cellular equipment around Kinnick stadium for possible
tailgating purposes. She said one part involves replacing the existing utility pole (in the Melrose
Historic District) with a new wooden pole and attaching some equipment to it, and Staff said that
it does not have an adverse effect on the historic district. Bristow said if the Commission wished
to have further discussion on it, she could put it on their next agenda. The Commission did not
request to review it further
Boyd said Mrs. Kirkwood (1101 Kirkwood property), long after her husband died, came out in
favor of women’s suffrage very early when there was a movement to try and get that passed,
which he said was just an interesting note of history he wanted to share.
Boyd said he met with a member of Parks and Recreation to talk about the Montgomery-Butler
House, so he is going to attend their meeting in January to ensure that their proposal is similar
to the Commission’s about finding a use for it.
DeGraw said someone in her neighborhood asked if City Park pool was considered historic
Boyd said they could add that to a future agenda for further discussion.
ADJOURNMENT:
DeGraw moved to adjourn the meeting. Wagner seconded. Meeting was adjourned at 6:16 p.m.

MINUTES PRELIMINARY
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
EMMA J. HARVAT HALL
December 9, 2021
MEMBERS PRESENT: Margaret Beck, Kevin Boyd, Carl Brown, Cecile Kuenzli, Kevin
Larson, Jordan Sellergren, Noah Stork, Frank Wagner
MEMBERS ABSENT: Sharon DeGraw, Deanna Thomann
STAFF PRESENT: Jessica Bristow
OTHERS PRESENT: None
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (become effective only after separate Council action)
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Boyd called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS:
HPC21-0107: 738 Rundell Street – Longfellow Historic District (alteration and new outbuilding
construction)
Bristow said this property is a Moffit House, side-gabled cottage with an attached garage. She
said the project is to increase the overall interior space and convert the interior garage into a
living area. However, she said if the garage is converted and there is no longer a designated
parking space, then the driveway cannot remain there according to City Code. She said Staff
recommends, if the conversion of the garage is approved, not to have the outbuilding remain
looking like a garage but rather incorporate it into the rest of the house because there will no
longer be a driveway leading to this portion of the house. Bristow said the proposal is to remove
the extension added to the front wall at the garage, fill in the wall framing flush with the rest of
the wall, and create a stucco finish at the base of the wall to match the foundation. She said the
rest of the wall would be covered with shingled-siding, and a window or a pair of double-hung
windows would be installed. Since City Code requires a parking space added and the
Commission would be approving the removal of the existing garage, Staff recommends building
a new one at the alley. She said the applicants also wanted to replace the front door due to its
cosmetic issues, and she said Staff would recommend it if they could find a good match for the
new door.
Kuenzli asked if it is necessary to install two windows on the front of house instead of just one,
since she thinks the single is more aesthetically pleasing. Bristow said that was up to the
Commission to decide. The application did not have measured drawings to show the change
and Photoshop mockups were made to show the change. Two versions were made. Bristow
showed the two options.
Boyd asked which door was damaged and in need of repair. Bristow said the front door is the
one that is damaged. The rear door the applicant’s have requested replacing and reusing the
door on the new garage. Bristow said staff recommends retaining the historic rear door on the
house (adding a storm door as necessary) and putting a new door on the new garage.
Brown asked why the original proposal included the installation of two windows. Bristow said
that was the only option she had discussed with the applicant. Drawings would illustrate this but
the submitted drawing were not to scale.
MOTION: Sellergren moved to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at
738 Rundell Street as presented in the staff report with the following conditions:
drawings for the deck are submitted for staff approval, the rear door on the house
remains at the house and a new door is installed in the garage, the garage windows are
revised to smaller double or single-hung wood or metal-clad wood windows, all window
and door product information is approved by Staff. Wagner seconded. The Commission
did not vote.
DeGraw asked if a paired window configuration could be used for the windows on the front of
the house. Bristow said it could, but she wouldn’t recommend that size of window shown on the
back of the house. Bristow said it would be difficult to adhere to the guidelines if they did that
because of the condition that new windows follow the historic window patterning, but it might be
possible. DeGraw said she could picture a single, slightly larger window in that place to help
improve the overall balance. Bristow said that the Commission could certainly add a condition
for one window or at least leave that possibility open for the applicants to decide. Kuenzli and
Wagner said that they liked the idea of the single window better than the double.
Larson asked if the façade of the existing garage is set back from the façade of the house.
Bristow said that it is.
MOTION: Sellergren amended her previous motion of approving the Certificate of
Appropriateness at 738 Rundell Street with all the previous conditions plus the addition
of either one or two windows that will be centered on the wall in the existing garage area.
Beck seconded. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0.
HPC21-0111: 538 South Gilbert Street – Local Historic Landmark (permanent ADA accessibility
ramp)
Bristow said this house has had quite a history – she said it was owned by the county for a bit
and it underwent several changes. She said this house is a large Italianate house with a hipped
roof, slightly projecting gables, a two-story wing with simplified details, and an enclosed porch.
She further discussed the architecture of the house and its changes over time.
She said Public Space One has purchased the house, so it will become a public space, which
means that it needs to be permanently ADA accessible. The guidelines allow for temporary
ramps under staff review. Bristow said the ramp installation will be permanent, so it is coming
before the Commission for review.
Bristow said they will remove the steps from the side of the rear entry porch and extend the
stoop to the south and then to the east. The stoop will have stairs and then a ramp that extends
north towards the parking area. She said Staff recommended the railing on the ramp be a
simple square spindle because the railings currently on the house would not meet current code
requirements or would not considered appropriate once they were enlarged to meet the height
requirement for the ramp. She said Staff also suggested that the area under the ramp (that is
greater than 18 inches and behind the main house) also be enclosed with skirting to match the
rest of the house.
Kuenzli asked if the building was also a Local Landmark since it is on the National Historic
Register. Bristow said it is and that is why the Commission is reviewing it.
MOTION: Sellergren moved to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at
538 Gilbert Street as presented in the staff report. Brown seconded. The motion carried
on a vote of 8-0.
REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF:
Minor Review – Staff Review
HPC21-0112: 1111 Sheridan Avenue – Longfellow Historic District (new railing for steps to
street)
Bristow said the applicants are doing a simplified version of what had been approved for the
front porch in the past.
Intermediate Review – Chair and Staff Review
HPC21-0080: 121 and 125 East College Street – Local Historic Landmarks (minor changes to a
prior COA)
Bristow said there were several minor changes to the development that were brought back for
review. Changes include the wall area infill on the back of both buildings where several
approved openings will be omitted. On the front of the Crescent Block the sign band was not as
assumed prior to demolition so a new metal panel treatment in the area was approved.
HPC21-0109: 814 Bowery Street – Governor-Lucas Street Conservation District (demolition of
non-historic entry canopy)
Bristow said the entry canopy at the 1960 addition was rebuilt without a permit, and it is being
removed now since the owner does not want to build it to match the adjacent canopy or an
alternative approvable design.
COMMISSION INFORMATION:
Bristow said she will be out of town for a few days in the upcoming weeks. She also said that
they have now had 115 applications so far this year, which is the most they have ever had.
ADJOURNMENT:
Brown moved to adjourn the meeting. Beck seconded. Meeting was adjourned at 6:27 p.m.

Memorandum
Date: January 6, 2021
To: Historic Preservation Commission
From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: City Park Pool and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
At the November 18, 2021 Historic Preservation Commission meeting, the Chair of the
Commission requested that staff provide information about City Park Pool and the current
Master Plan Project for the Commission’s information.
City Park Pool was dedicated June 26, 1949. Ned Ashton, whose house at 820 Park Road is a
local Historic Landmark, was the engineer for the pool. A page from Ashton’s scrapbook is
included as an attachment to this memorandum. In addition, several pages from Irving Weber,
written for the occasion of the pool’s 30th Anniversary in 1979 are also included for background
information. The pool has been altered over time, including the removal of the below-grade
viewing window.
Following this background information, staff has included the press release, dated November
22, 2021 from Parks and Recreation Director Juli Seydell Johnson, addresssing the current
status of their Master Planning process. More information about the project can be found at the
website at the end of the press release
1/6/22, 2:28 PM Thank you for providing feedback for the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Master Plan | City of Iowa City
https://www.icgov.org/news/thank-you-providing-feedback-iowa-city-parks-and-recreation-master-plan 1/4
Iowa City Parks and Recreation has wrapped up the first phase of public engagement for the Gather
Here Recreation Master Plan. During the first phase, the department collected public feedback
through in-person planned and pop-up events, passive feedback opportunities, and through online
surveys and discussion boards. Over 1,000 responses were received.
The first engagement phase also included a series of community focus groups. Additionally, a
statistically valid survey has been mailed to 400 random Iowa City residences. These mailed
surveys are an integral part of the master planning process and the public is encouraged to
participate. Your survey feedback will help shape the future of Iowa City recreation.
A second engagement phase will be introduced this winter and will enable residents the opportunity
to provide additional comment.
All information compiled during the engagement phase will be used to create the Gather Here
Recreation Master Plan. The plan will provide guidance for future facility improvements and
recreation programming in the following areas:
Existing recreation facilities
City Park Pool
Mercer Park Aquatic Center and Scanlon Gym
Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center
Outdoor sports fields
Recreation activities, programs, and events
