Staff Report September 11, 2025 Prepared by: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Historic Review for HPC25-0054: 622 N. Van Buren Street General Information: Owners: Kevin Boyd District: Brown Street Historic District Classification: Key Contributing Project Scope: In 1995, a previous owner added a second story rear deck and staircase. They also replaced a window with a door. The proposed project involves removing the rear deck and staircase and replacing the modern door with a window matching the historic window and replacing the siding that was removed to attach the deck to the house. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.13 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Windows 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures of Significant Features Property History: This two-story Queen Anne is built in a gable -front and wing form with Free Classic details. The house has a main hipped roof with projecting gable wings to the front (west) and south. The south wing features a chamfered first floor bay with a square second floor. The rear fagade has a gabled through -wall dormer. The north side has a hipped through -wall dormer. The windows in the gables are paired. The siding is a wood lap siding with corner boards and a scalloped shingle siding in the gable ends. Classical details include the cornice returns on the gables, the dentils on the porch frieze and the classical columns. Prior to 1973, the house was duplexed with stairs to the second floor added to the north side. In 1995 the rear deck was built. The second -floor access was moved to the rear at this time. Detailed Project Description: The goal of this project is to remove the 1995 addition of a rear deck and staircase and replace the door added in the 90s with a window. The applicant has provided documentation showing the 1995 alteration and associated building permit application, as well as photos of the previous conditions. See attached. Guidelines: Section 4.13 Windows recommends: • Adding windows that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. • Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or building of similar architectural style. Section 7.1 recommends: • Removing additions or alterations that are not historic and that significantly detract from the building's historic character or that are structurally unsound and are a safety hazard. Analysis: The proposed project would result in the removal of a non -historic alteration, specifically the rear deck and staircase. It would also replace the existing rear door, which is also not original to the home, with a window as originally designed. Product details for the window have not been provided by the applicant, but the window would match the overall appearance of the historic windows and be made of wood or metal -clad wood. Staff finds that the proposed project aligns with the guidelines for demolition, as the deck and staircase are not historic. Additionally, the replacement of the door with a window also aligns with the guidelines since it will match the historic windows and maintain the window pattern. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 622 N. Van Buren Street as presented in the staff report, which includes the removal of the rear deck and staircase and the replacement of the associated door with a window.

Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.6 Gutters and Downspouts 4.7 Mass and Rooflines Property History: This house was built between 1907 and 1912 in a transitional style between the waning Queen Anne Style and the large vernacular American Foursquare style. The cutaway corner and projecting bay on the east side are examples of the Queen Anne Style. The large square form with gabled dormers are elements of a traditional Foursquare, but the scale of the dormers reflects the gabled projections on a Queen Anne. The house has narrow lap siding, a standing seam metal roof, and one -over -one double -hung windows. The front porch has been enclosed and a small rear corner porch has also been enclosed. The large gabled rear projection may be original since it appears on the 1912 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map. In 2011, a Certificate of No Material Effect was issued for the removal a non -historic applique in the gable of the front porch. In 2017 a Certificate of No Material Effect was issued for the repair of the internal gutters and replacement of any deteriorated soffits and fascia found when the external gutters and downspouts were replaced. This same year approval through an Intermediate Review was given to replace and widen the driveway. In 2018, the Commission approved the installation of solar panels on the garage roof. In 2019, the Commission approved a rear covered entry and deck addition. Detailed Project Description: The goal of this project is the replacement of the deteriorated metal roof with architectural asphalt shingles. The rear projecting wing of the house has an internal gutter in the slope of the roof, known as a Yankee gutter. This gutter would be removed with the metal roof and could not be reconstructed with modern roof materials. Instead, an external gutter will be hung at the eave edge. The internal gutters on the porch roof and projecting bay are a different type that can be repaired and will remain. rmirlPlinPc- Section 4.6 Gutters recommends: • Repairing original built-in gutters. EPDM rubber sheeting is an economical replacement material for the original tin flashing. • Covering original built-in gutters and applying exterior gutters only if the roof slope at the gutter is not altered. Original Built-in Gutter Exception applicable to All Properties: • Removal of original built-in gutters unable to be repaired. On a case -by -case basis, the Commission may consider allowing removal of original built-in gutters if documentation is provided to establish evidence of need. This may include damage to the roof itself or inability to repair built-in gutters to properly working condition. Section 4.7 Mass and Rooflines recommends: • Maintaining metal roofs rather than replacing Replacement of Metal Roofs applicable to All Properties: • On a case -by -case basis, the Commission may consider allowing replacement of metal roofs with an approved alternative material if documentation is provided to establish evidence of need and off efforts to repair existing damage. Analysis. The existing metal roof was inspected by Justin Pardekooper of Pardekoper Construction. Mr. Pardekooper has experience painting and repairing metal roofs. He determined that the roof was too deteriorated to be repaired and recommends replacement. The applicant has chosen to replace the metal roof with architectural asphalt shingles. This house originally had a wood shingle roof and no gutters. Once the metal roof was installed, internal gutters were built by creating a trough in the slope of the roof. Removal of the metal roof will remove the internal gutters. This type of gutter cannot be constructed in the same way with new roofing materials, including new standing seam metal roofs. Similar gutters in the main hipped roof were removed in the past and external gutters were installed. The internal, Yankee gutters, on the rear portion of the house will be removed with the roof material with this project, necessitating the installation of external gutters. Although the guidelines recommend repairing both internal gutters and metal roofs, the guidelines include exceptions to allow replacement when it has been determined they are deteriorated beyond repair. The applicant has provided photographs showing the deterioration of the roof and gutters. Staff finds that removing the internal gutter on the rear projection will not impact the historic character of the house. Removing them will allow the existing roof slope to remain. Since the internal gutters at the east projecting bay and the front porch are more traditional, they can be repaired. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 317 Fairchild Street as presented in the staff report, which includes the replacement of a metal roof with architectural asphalt shingles and removal of the internal gutters on the rear of the house through the use of an exception to the guidelines to allow the removal of the internal gutters. y Illllii�� a III�ii —126;.4 317 Fairchild Street — Existing Rear (South) Elevation ~je - _ - �' ;: �': �°�•s ��� - -Sir _-� . r r' Sw Evidence of Deterioration 0 Evidence of Deterioration Y.

The moderately pitched roof features a full-length shed -roof dormer on the front a back. The wide eaves are supported by decorative purlins. The house, columns of the subsumed porch, and the solid balustrade are clad with lap siding mitered at the corners. The lap siding extends to the base of the wall which is supported on a stucco -coated foundation. The windows are 4-over-1 double hung windows with a simple flat casing topped by a simple crown, serving as a drip edge. The house has a one-story rear addition that was built about 1960. In 2021, the Commission approved a similar demolition and addition at this house which was never completed. Detailed Project Description: This project demolishes the existing rear addition completed ca. 1960 and a small enclosure around a rear door. A new addition, roughly 19 foot by 16 foot, is constructed in its place. The addition is set back from the south wall of the historic house, preserving the west -facing window in that area. It is also set back from the north wall 2 feet (approximate depth of the eave overhang). A new stoop and step are located at the north side, extending beyond the north wall of the house. The addition has a shed roof that will tie in with the existing roof and overlap a portion of the existing dormers. The shed roof will match the slope of the dormer above but the eave will be slightly higher than the eave on the existing house. The siding will be a wood siding mitered at the corners and aligning with the existing siding on the house. Because of an existing mature tree, the addition will have a non-traditional foundation to minimize damage to the tree's roots. The stucco -coated foundation on house will be mimicked with the new foundation but the structure will be helical piers instead of a continuous footing and foundation wall. The addition will have pairs of windows with their heads and sills aligning with the first floor windows on the house. The windows at the kitchen counter will have raised sills to allow the counter to pass beneath them. The south wall will have no windows. Guidelines: Section 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails recommends: • Constructing or replacing missing balustrades by using historic photographs or by choosing a style that is consistent with the architectural style of the building. • Installing turned balusters in balustrades that have an actual diameter of 2 inches or greater, or square spindles that are 1-1/2 inches or greater in width. • Installing top and foot rails that are at least 2 inches in thickness. Section 4.2 Doors recommends: • Adding new door openings that are trimmed to match other doors and windows in the building. • Substituting a material in place of wood for doors and screen doors only if the substitute material retains the style and appearance of the historic doors and screen doors. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Section 4.7 Mass and Rooflines recommends: • Preserving the original roof pitches and spans. • Preserving the original walls and vertical corners that define the massing of a historic building. Section 4.11 Siding recommends: • Substituting a material in place of wood siding only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. In many applications, fiber cement board with a smooth finish is an approved wood substitute. Section 4.13 Windows recommends: • Adding windows that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. • Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. • Using new wood windows to replace deteriorated historic wood windows, although the use of metal -clad, solid -wood windows is acceptable. All replacement windows and trim must accept paint. Typically, sashes will be finished in a dark color, either black or dark green. • Divided lights may be true or simulated. Simulated divided lights may be created with muntin bars that are permanently adhered to both sides of the glass, preferably with spacer bars between the panes of insulating glass. Section 5.1 Expansion of the Building Footprint recommends: • Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. This may be accomplished easily by offsetting the walls of the addition from the walls of the original structure or by connecting additions with a breezeway • Matching key horizontal "lines" on the existing building, such as water table, eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic structure. • Using a palette of materials that is similar to that used on the historic structure. • Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible. • Installing doors in additions that match the material of historic doors, and have a similar style and appearance as the historic doors in the existing building. • Constructing an addition foundation that appears similar to the historic foundation in color, texture, unit size, and joint profile. • Constructing additions that are consistent with the massing and roofline of the historic building. This requires that the wall areas and corners, as well as the roof pitches and spans are all consistent with the existing building and have a proportion that is similar to that of the existing building. • Constructing the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the addition so that they match the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the existing building. When the eaves of an addition intersect the eaves of the existing building, care should be taken to assure that the two eaves align properly. The trim details of a new eave should match the eave details of the existing building. • Applying siding to a new addition that appears similar in size, shape, texture, and material to the existing siding on the historic building. • Using windows that are of a similar type, proportion and divided light pattern as those in the original structure. • Following the guidelines for new windows in section 4.13 Windows. • Constructing additions with materials that appear similar to the historic siding, trim, moldings, and other details of the original building. Disallowed: • Leaving large expanses of wall surface uninterrupted by windows or doors. Exceptions: • For additions to foundations, it is acceptable to match the color of the original foundation by using paint or masonry stain rather than matching the material and appearance of the original foundation material. • Window trim, door trim, fascia and frieze boards, and corner and band boards on additions must be similar to those on the historic building. However, other details of the historic building may be omitted, simplified, or enhanced on additions as long as they are compatible with the existing structure. Analysis: In Staff's opinion, the demolition of the 1960s addition and the construction of a new addition is appropriate. In 2021, the commission reviewed a similar project and approved an addition with two exceptions to the guidelines: one for the foundation and another for simplified trim since the addition would not have the brackets found on the main roof and both dormers. This new iteration will also need to utilize exceptions for these items. In addition, there are several other aspects of the current design that do not comply with the guidelines. While this addition likely has different goals from the 2021 design, the previous version shows that it is possible to design an addition for this house that better complies with the guidelines. The addition section of the guidelines begins with the following statement: "When planning an addition that expands the building footprint, consider first how a new exterior form and roof can be added to the existing house in a manner that is compatible with the design of the historic building. Often, the desired interior space dictates the location and size of the addition, and the resulting roofline and form appear awkward and inconsistent with the historic structure." When an addition is designed to fit with the exterior of the historic house first, the eave height and window patterning as well as setbacks and details are matched first and then the interior layout is designed to work with that. In this addition design the north wall is set in from the corner of the house 2 feet which allows the roof overhang to terminate inside the building corner but the new stoop and step project beyond the corner of the house at the driveway side of the house. Since the driveway is paved to the foundation wall, this projection will appear as if it is in the way especially since the garage is much wider than the historic driveway. Staff recommends that the addition is pulled back on the north wall to allow the stoop and step to terminate before the corner. The eave height in the new addition is higher than the eave height on the main house. Staff recommends that this eave height is lowered to match the main house roof. This will help maintain a similar relation between the overhang and the windows heads as is found on the historic house. The south wall of the addition proposes a completely windowless wall which is disallowed by the guidelines. Historic houses had windows on all sides to take advantage of natural light. Having views across rear yards and open space is a benefit that historic houses provided. Current construction practices often build new houses with windows in only two directions, a stark contrast with historic building practices. Staff recommends that the project is revised to provide windows on all three sides of the addition. The window section of the guidelines recommends that new windows are added "in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style." The historic house has individual windows on all four sides. At the first floor on the porch, the house has one set of paired windows. All others are individual windows equally spaced. The fact that the front window is the only paired window makes it a special architectural feature. In this addition, the location of the windows has no relationship to the window patterning on the historic house. Many of the windows are paired instead of individual windows. On the west wall, the windows are not aligned beneath the dormer windows. As has been mentioned, there are no windows on the south wall. Staff recommends that the windows are revised to individual windows and the window patterning better reflects the window pattern on the historic house, including windows on the south side. This will allow the front window to remain an architectural feature on the front of this house. As with the 2021 project, staff recommends approving two exceptions for this project. While the guidelines recommend foundations on additions match the historic foundation, this project is attempting to preserve a valuable mature tree. The addition has been designed to be supported by drilled piers instead of a traditional foundation and was originally presented with skirting obscuring the structure on all sides. This use of skirting made the addition appear to be floating instead of fully supported. Skirting would only be appropriate under porches which are traditionally supported on masonry piers. The guidelines in section 5.1 allow for an exception for the new foundation to match the color of the original instead of the material. The addition will utilize a faux stucco texture to mimic the house's stucco -coated foundation. It will be installed on all three sides between the addition floor structure and the ground. Staff finds this to be an appropriate solution to the need for the addition to sit lightly over the tree's roots. Section 5.1 also includes an exception for wood that requires that "window trim, door trim, fascia.... on additions must be similar to those on the historic building. However, other details of the historic building may be omitted, simplified or enhanced on additions as long as they are compatible with the historic structure." The addition currently does not include the exposed rafter tails and corner brackets found in house including the existing rear dormer. This exception applies to setback (or rear) additions in historic districts. Since this addition is located on the rear of the house, the Commission may use this exception to approve these simplifications from the historic details. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 721 Grant Street as presented in the staff report through exceptions to the guidelines for the foundation and simplified trim, with the following conditions: ■ The north wall is set in so that the stoop and step terminate before the corner of the house and the eave height is lowered to match the house ■ Windows are added to the south wall of the addition and the windows are revised to reflect the window patterning on the historic house such as individual windows and window spacing. ■ Window and door product information is submitted for review f _ Old �,- � � � ., - ; �n �t3 �';.�`� '�� ►*� ��a ,yam V "�i it � ,r � ! ,_� 1 . � ' .e ,�j,�, ,�,� ..• .� 4• (( i ,a ✓ �r alp �+ , 1 R 708 US 712 ' 722 23 rI O 3.1 Ky e1�8 734728 R S87 r 741 738 i 746 747 Map 12 " = 1' -0 11 SHEET LIST G.O Al A.2 A.3 A.5 A.6 17� 7 721 72; rI 73' = RN 737 ' 741 747 Cover Sheet Overall Floor Plans Roof Plans Addition Plans Elevations - Existing Elevations - New 7070- F 708R58 712 718 J 722 728 732 r 736 F74 G I I parcel boundary cc �—---------+-\-------------- — 1 15'-6" \ 32' • \ - + 15'-0" 11 0 / 721 Grant St I I CV I 20'-0" oak tree ♦ I � I o L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - --- setback parcel boundary Site plan 1/ 1611 = 1' -0 11 Demo wood deck _ 1 Demolition Existing walls to remain Overall Demo Plan 1/811 = 1' -0 ° -------------------------- 1 I I I I I I I I I 1 I A.3 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 2 A.6 Overall Floor Plan 1/8-1 = 1' -0 11 A.6 08/11/25 scale 1/8- = 1.-0., Overall Floor Plans AA sheet Na.

Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.3 Doors 4.11 Siding 4.12 Site and Landscaping 4.13 Windows 6.0 Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings Property History: This house was originally built in 1939 as a two-story hipped -roof block with an attached single -story garage in the northeast corner. The smaller upper -floor windows are 6-over- 6 double -hung sash and the lower -level windows are 8-over-8 double -hung sash windows. The eave edge is punctuated by two segmental arched through wall dormers symmetrically spaced on each side of the house. Lower -level wide lap siding is bordered on the front fagade by a mid -level band at the height of the second floor windowsills. The cladding above may have originally been a stucco -coating. The house is a Colonial Revival style in a Regency -style variation. Elements of the Colonial Revival style are the hipped roof, symmetrical, three bay front facade, a formal central entrance and the stone, faux "quoins" at the corners. The Regency variation was loosely based on English precedents and was popular in the 1930s. Elements of this Regency variation are the somewhat simplified door surround (compared to other Colonial Revivals) and the small, shaped center window on the second floor. A single story addition on the NW corner was added prior to 1966. The larger hip -roof addition off the same corner was approved by the Historic Preservation Commission in 2005. Detailed Project Description: This project adds a two-story, two car garage to the southwest corner of the property. The garage will be similar to the house in that it will have a hipped -roof, similarly arched through -wall dormers on each side, wide lap siding with corner boards, and 6-over-6 double hung windows on three sides. The east elevation will have two single -car overhead doors. On the north side, a narrow projection will enclose the stairs to the upper floor which is an open living space with a restroom. The proposed siding is a smooth Hardie board, cement board siding. The proposed windows are a PVC -clad wood window. The overhead doors are composite material with additional composite overlays in a panel design similar to historic doors. They will have a band of small rectangular windows across the top. The passage door is a two panel fiberglass door with small window in a Craftsman style. r,i drlalinac- Section 4.3 Doors recommends: • Adding new door openings that are trimmed to match other doors and windows in the building. • Substituting a material in place of wood for doors and screen doors only if the substitute material retains the style and appearance of the historic doors and screen doors. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Section 4.11 Siding recommends: • Substituting a material in place of wood siding only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. In many applications, fiber cement board with a smooth finish is an approved wood substitute. Section 4.12 Site and Landscaping recommends: • Providing parking behind the primary structure on a lot where possible. If parking must be located along the side of an existing or new primary structure, it must be set back from the front plane of the building a minimum of 10 feet and be screened by a decorative fence, landscaping, or a combination of a decorative fence and landscaping, and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. • Constructing new driveways to be similar to historic driveways in the neighborhoods. Typically these driveways are 8-10 feet in width. • Providing vehicular access from an alley when available. Driveways leading from the street to garages or parking at the rear of the property should be one lane in width, but can be widened toward the back of the lot to provide access to multi - stall garages or parking spaces. 4.13 Windows recommends: • Adding windows that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. • Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. • Windows on outbuildings should be relatively small and rectangular or square. • Divided lights may be true or simulated. Simulated divided lights may be created with muntin bars that are permanently adhered to both sides of the glass, preferably with spacer bars between the panes of insulating glass. Section 6.2 New Outbuildings recommends: • Placing new outbuildings, including garages, to the rear of the primary building. • Constructing garages and other outbuildings that are clearly subordinate in size and ornamentation to the primary structure. • Constructing new outbuildings that reflect the style of the primary structure. The primary structure will typically reflect a style of architecture prevalent within the district. • Installing garage doors that are simple in design. Smooth or simple panel -type garage doors may be used. Carriage -style doors in a style appropriate to the property may also be used. • Adding trim around the garage door openings that matches the trim of other doors and windows on the building. • Installing single -car garage doors. Double -car garage doors are discouraged. Windows • Incorporating windows into the design that are relatively small and rectangular. Analysis: In Staff's opinion, the construction of a new garage in the rear corner of the yard will create additional parking, useable space on the upper floor, and allow the historic attached garage to remain in place, retaining the historic character of this property. The creation of a second curb cut, provides driveway access to the new garage while maintaining the original cub cut retains the historic link between the original building and the public right-of-way. With the proximity of the north property line, it was not possible to expand the historic garage. A lack of alley in the back requires additional access from the street. This Regency style is rare in Iowa City. The new garage reflects that style in form and roof line, the dormer configuration, the window type, and the wide lap siding. Instead of copying the more elaborate front fagade with the upper -level cladding and quoins, it reflects the rear and additions with the lap siding, corner boards, and frieze board. The smooth cement board and proposed overhead doors comply with the guidelines. There are several elements needing clarification, discussion, or approval through exception to the guidelines. In the drawings, the gutter is shown continuous through the dormers on a couple sides. Staff has asked the architect to revise the drawings to break the gutter into separate sections. As can be seen on the front of the house, this roof line and dormer configuration means that the gutter is continuous at the building corners and downspouts are located at the breaks by the dormers, extending down the middle of the wall instead of the traditional corners. In addition, the front of the new garage is shown with three dormers instead of two. This detail is more elaborate than the house and will lead to an additional downspout. Staff recommends that the front fagade of the garage is simplified to two dormers in order to avoid a more elaborate design than the house and to simplify the downspout situation. The eave condition on the garage is also shown with an eave overhang that is at least twice as deep as that on the house. Staff recommends that this is narrowed to better reflect the roof condition in the Regency style. The trim on the new garage is not clearly shown and the material is not specified. Staff recommends a simple 4-inch (minimum) flat casing in wood. Alternative trim materials have not been commonly approved by the Commission; wood trim is approved instead. Flat casing would be appropriate in this building and since it is not masonry, brickmold would not be appropriate on any of the doors and windows. The proposed windows are a vinyl -clad wood window. The guidelines in Section 4.13 includes an exception for windows in new outbuildings in conservation districts for the Commission to approve vinyl -clad wood windows. The proposed passage door is a fiberglass Craftsman -style door. Staff recommends that the door is revised as a Colonial Revival -style door such as a door with a cross -buck pattern in the lower half and a nine-lite window in the upper half, or a four -panel door with four arched windows across the top, or a simple single - panel door with a single half-lite above. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 415 Clark Street as presented in the staff report with the following conditions: ■ The vinyl -clad windows are approved through an exception to the guidelines ■ The eave is revised with a non -continuous gutter at the dormers, a narrower overhang, and two dormers in the front fagade. ■ The trim is revised with corner boards, a frieze board at the top of the wall, and flat casing at all doors and windows. ■ The passage door is revised to a Colonial Revival Style. ��_ _ � ' • �''� '-� I T � •�. .. ��''�P y� ter+ `� � .. _ �Y 415 Clark Street, rear addition at Northwest corner, 2006 I I � I ; I ; I � I ; I � I ; I ; I ; I ; I ; I ; I � I ; I ; I ; I ; I ; —r• I PROPFRTV I IAIC I I I I I I I i i i i I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I w!

A rear -facing gable structure was added to the back of the north half. Later, a Victorian hipped roof cube was added to the south end at the southeast corner. By 1899 the Ell at the rear of the house had been enclosed. The main entry in the side -gabled portion of the house is flanked by a single window on each end. The north end of this portion of the house has a single, centered window. Two windows are evenly spaced along the north side of the rear -facing gable extension. On the south end there is a matching centered window. Adjacent to the window a Victorian addition is attached. This addition has a gable -on -hip roof with a gabled dormer on the south end. The front -facing windows are paired. A single window is located on the west side of the south wall. The house currently has one -over -one double -hung sash windows in many locations. The siding is an asbestos shingle with limited flat casing at the windows and doors, corner boards and a frieze board. Much of the roof is a standing seam metal roof. A detached garage sits in the rear yard. Detailed Project Description: This project demolishes the existing open porch on the rear of the house, the rear wall of the existing kitchen (the south half of the east wall of the original house), and the flat roof over the entire area including some of the kitchen. The kitchen is remodeled into a closet and bathroom with a hallway along the south side of the space. The hallway leads to a new sunroom addition. The new sunroom has smooth LP lap siding and pairs of windows to the north, east, and south. The east wall also has a passage door. The addition will have a flat membrane roof. Guidelines: Section 4.3 Doors recommends: • Adding new door openings that are trimmed to match other doors and windows in the building. • Substituting a material in place of wood for doors and screen doors only if the substitute material retains the style and appearance of the historic doors and screen doors. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. Section 4.7 Mass and Rooflines recommends: • Preserving the original roof pitches and spans. • Preserving the original walls and vertical corners that define the massing of a historic building. Section 4.11 Siding recommends: • Substituting a material in place of wood siding only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. In many applications, fiber cement board with a smooth finish is an approved wood substitute. Section 4.13 Windows recommends: • Adding windows that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. • Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. Section 4.14 Wood recommends: • Substituting a material in place of wood only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. • For many applications, fiber cement board is an approved substitute for wood provided the fiber cement board is smooth faced with no simulated wood grain. Section 5.1 Expansion of the Building Footprint recommends: • Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. This may be accomplished easily by offsetting the walls of the addition from the walls of the original structure or by connecting additions with a breezeway. • Matching key horizontal "lines" on the existing building, such as water table, eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic structure. • Using a palette of materials that is similar to that used on the historic structure. • Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible. • Installing doors in additions that match the material of historic doors, and have a similar style and appearance as the historic doors in the existing building. • Constructing an addition foundation that appears similar to the historic foundation in color, texture, unit size, and joint profile. • Constructing additions that are consistent with the massing and roofline of the historic building. This requires that the wall areas and corners, as well as the roof pitches and spans are all consistent with the existing building and have a proportion that is similar to that of the existing building. • Constructing the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the addition so that they match the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the existing building. When the eaves of an addition intersect the eaves of the existing building, care should be taken to assure that the two eaves align properly. The trim details of a new eave should match the eave details of the existing building. • Applying siding to a new addition that appears similar in size, shape, texture, and material to the existing siding on the historic building. • Using windows that are of a similar type, proportion and divided light pattern as those in the original structure. • Following the guidelines for new windows in section 4.13 Windows. • Constructing additions with materials that appear similar to the historic siding, trim, moldings, and other details of the original building. • It is disallowed to add space to a structure by enclosing a historic front or side porch. Analysis: In Staff's opinion, this demolition and addition on this small house complies with most guidelines. The addition is on the rear, replacing and expanding upon an existing open porch. The eave height will match the existing roof, and the eave detail will be simple to match the existing house. Staff recommends that the trim matches the existing which consists of corner boards, a frieze board at the top of the wall, smooth boxed soffits, and a simple crown at the top of the frieze board. The addition is set in from the north end of the historic house. On the south end, it will align with the existing corner of the original portion of the house. While it will not preserve that corner as recommended in the guidelines, this is a small building, and staff recommends approval. The siding on the building is asbestos so staff recommends that the siding on the new addition matches the siding found under the asbestos. If there is no siding under the asbestos, staff recommends that the siding is a simple lap siding with a 3" to 5" reveal. A smooth LP Smartside has been proposed, which complies with the guidelines. Instead of matching either the existing gable roofs or the hip roof on the Victorian addition, the new roof will be flat like the existing infill roof to bridge the existing space. The proposed membrane roof is available in a reflective gray which staff recommends using so that it resembles a historic roof. While most of the windows on the house are individual windows, the new sunroom will have pairs of windows (separated by trim). Anderson E series windows, which are a metal -clad wood are proposed. Staff recommends approval with paired windows because of the small space and the function as a sunroom. The proposed passage door has not been submitted for approval but will be a fiberglass door, which complies with the guidelines. The door is represented in the drawings as a Craftsman -style door. Staff recommends that the door is revised to be a half-lite two panel door. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 332 North Johnson Street as presented in the staff report with the following conditions: ■ The door is revised as a half-lite door The flat roof membrane is gray The trim condition matches the existing house LL-A �17 I 4-P IN z AV C p A Y. ihl i. 4TM''1 _.h 1 ! 332 North Johnson Street, east fagade DEMO EX15TINO LOPN 5LOFE ROOF z 0 DEMO EX15TING EXTERIOR INALL Covered Porch LU _j >_ M Lu Basement 5tairs > uj Cf Ln < LU Bedroom Closet Kitchen co Bath room Closet 5TAIR 12 in Q3 Bedroom Lp V__ z Z Lu p C, t-D x LU 1 31-q 1/211 Living Room in Z) Y) > Q) co 73 < DATE: 9/30/2025 SCALE: 211-61/211 PLAN FOOTPRINT u SHEET- 1/2 IN = 1 FT 21Ty" 41011 2',P" 4'0" 3066 New foundation, exterior walls with windows and do -or, siding and flat k roof X w '] ED cr cn LU z zIM 71 New 5 unr mLu W � M 1 i t1, r 5400H Sa5em�ent air LU Exi tin siding i-vi l l staff co VEIL T IAL TRIM BOARD FOR 51L�1N TRANSITION T l Closet �Ln C t ccl lid z -3 Z C4 I r i CIO r "ETA I QUEEN BED p 3465 �8 U2624grO B 4 1324 r � r Living Room 06 elf r 5r 4 �rh DININ TABLE inNr � 2068 IL DATE.

The in -slope internal gutter (Yankee gutter) will be removed and replaced with half -round exterior gutters. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.6 Gutters and Downspouts 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.11 Windows 4.13 Wood Property History: The house at 409 South Summit Street was constructed between 1891 and 1893 as a two-story cross -gabled Queen Anne Victorian. The house has a large gable at the front fagade with the smaller crossing gables to each side and a smaller rear facing gable aligned with the north edge of the front gable. The north -facing projection has a clipped gable roof. The south -facing gable has a canted bay at the first floor. A full -width front porch wraps around the south side. The square paneled columns sit on rock -faced CMU piers and have a simple square -spindled balustrade. While the house has synthetic siding, historic scalloped shingle siding clads the gables. The windows are individual double -hung sash windows. The front gable features a pair of decorative leaded glass windows. A two-story open porch in the south west corner of the house was enclosed by 1933 and there was an additional partial -width open porch on the west end. An enclosed second floor was added to this porch at an unknown date. In 2005 the concrete front steps were replaced with wood and rebuilt in 2015. The open porch on the west was enclosed in 2009. Deteriorated window sashes were replaced in 2010. The property features a historic garage that was rehabbed in 1978 using an HRDP grant from the state. Detailed Project Description: This project replaces the historic standing seam metal roof with an architectural asphalt shingle. The in -slope internal gutter (Yankee gutter) will be removed and replaced with half -round exterior gutters. The flat roofs on the front porch and rear addition will be changed from flat -seam metal to a TPO membrane roof. The current project proposes to replace the crown molding at the roof edge with an Azek material in a similar profile. The project also proposes to add venting to the roof slope. Guidelines: Section 4.6 Gutters recommends: • Repairing original built-in gutters. EPDM rubber sheeting is an economical replacement material for the original tin flashing. • Covering original built-in gutters and applying exterior gutters only if the roof slope at the gutter is not altered. • Original Built-in Gutter Exception applicable to All Properties: Removal of original built-in gutters unable to be repaired. On a case -by -case basis, the Commission may consider allowing removal of original built-in gutters if documentation is provided to establish evidence of need. This may include damage to the roof itself or inability to repair built-in gutters to properly working condition. Section 4.7 Mass and Rooflines recommends: • Maintaining metal roofs rather than replacing • Replacement of Metal Roofs Exception applicable to All Properties: On a case - by -case basis, the Commission may consider allowing replacement of metal roofs with an approved alternative material if documentation is provided to establish evidence of need and off efforts to repair existing damage. Section 4.11 Windows recommends: • It is disallowed to introduce new window openings into primary elevations Section 4.13 Wood recommends: • Repairing historic wood elements rather than replacing them. • Replacing damaged wood components with new or salvaged wood components that match the historic ones. • Substituting a material in place of wood only if the substitute material retains the appearance and function of the original wood. The substitute material must be durable, accept paint, and be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission. • It is disallowed to remove historic wood elements such as trim, porches, cornices, and decorative elements. • It is disallowed to substitute a material in place of wood that does not retain the appearance, function, and paintability of the original wood. Analysis. Staff has been working with the owners of this property to have the metal roof and the Yankee gutters repaired for several years. It has been determined that the gutters and roof are both beyond repair. While it may be possible to replace the roof with a standing seam metal roof, it is not possible to reconstruct the Yankee gutters affordably in a new material. In addition, this house had wood shingles originally. So, the owners have decided to replace the roof with architectural asphalt shingles, which comply with the guidelines in a brown or gray. Although the guidelines recommend repairing both internal gutters and metal roofs, the guidelines include exceptions to allow replacement when it has been determined they are deteriorated beyond repair. Staff finds that removing the internal gutter on the main roof will not impact the historic character of the house. Removing them will allow the existing roof slope to remain. The half -round gutters that are proposed are recommended by staff because they allow a limited view of the crown molding as well as improved air circulation around the fascia. The internal gutter on the front porch will remain. This project also includes the replacement of all of the crown molding at the fascia with a new crown molding by Azek, a composite material similar to Trex. It is disallowed by the guidelines to remove trim unless it is beyond repair and will be replaced by matching wood. It is possible to acquire approval for a material that is a substitute for wood. The Commission has not approved Azek as a replacement trim in a historic district but has allowed it on some additions in conservation districts. It is not known if the Azek crown profile will match the existing trim profile on this house. Staff is aware that some of the soffit, fascia, and crown are deteriorated beyond repair and recommend that the deteriorated portions are replaced with new (or salvaged) wood that matches the existing and that the patches are "toothed in" with staggered joints that are caulked and smoothed so they are not apparent. The original application included introducing new vent locations in the gables. These gables do not currently have vents but do have decorative fish -scale shingle siding. Since the guidelines disallow introducing new window openings to the primary elevation, an action similar to adding a vent, staff recommended adding the vents to the roof or soffit instead. The contractor has agreed to add them to the slope of the roof. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 409 South Summit Street as presented in the staff report with the following conditions: ■ The roof shingle is a brown or gray and the porch roof membrane is gray. ■ The crown molding removal is limited to the deteriorated portions and is replaced with wood to match. ti AMC _ r{ k� ' } k' • ski � �.,.L.= , t lothAL $1, F 1l1 � ,es`} ram• _ T. -- --r' - Wr A 409 South Summit Street — deteriorated flat roof on rear addition �`j�t �• •4 t' ram, .� 't• Y µ��� %f}' �x�t5 'i-. �r� V i�� ��T r :y 11 r •"� Ji/�j Y T7(4 r Lt1, �f�.

HARVAT HALL, CITY HALL MEMBERS PRESENT: Margaret Beck, Kevin Burford, Andrew Lewis, Ryan Russell, Deanna Thomann, Nicole Villanueva, Frank Wagner MEMBERS ABSENT: Austin Curfman, Carl Brown STAFF PRESENT: Anne Russett OTHERS PRESENT: Jennifer Miller, Chad Miller, Matt Pemble CALL TO ORDER: Lewis called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: None. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS: HPC25-0036: 311 Brown Street - Brown Street Historic District (front porch roof replacement and removal of internal gutter, removal and replacement of crown molding): Russett noted this is a contributing property in the Brown Street Historic District, the home was built in 1898 and is a two story wood frame home that incorporates aspects of both Victorian and Georgian Revival architecture. The house retains its original front porch and features a complex roof pattern with returned cornices, which is a special feature of the house. The item tonight is related to the front porch roof and some modifications that need to be made to properly function, a portion of the roof has been repaired but Russett showed photographs provided by the applicant of some standing water on it. She shared another photo and pointed out the gutters look quite shallow and the issues that the applicant is having with this roof is that it's not properly draining and it's causing damage to both the floor of the porch, as well as some of the trim and crown molding around the roof. The applicants were originally proposing to cut out the internal gutters and to remove the crown molding and then replace the crown molding and re -roof the front porch. After some more discussions internally and with the applicants, staff is recommending an alternative solution that will not impact the historical character of the house but solve their water problems. Staff is recommending to fill in the internals gutters and add sheathing and then roof over the gutter and the roof with EPDM, which is a membrane roof. Russett noted the guidelines that relate to gutters recommend repairing original built in gutters. Regarding mass and roof lines, it's important to preserve historic trim, such as crown molding and decorative material, and the section on demolition also disallows removing any architectural features such as decorative trim. She noted there is an exception in the gutter section of the guidelines that allow the Commission to approve the removal of built in gutters that are unable to be repaired and this can be done on a case by case basis if the gutter is not able to be repaired and properly function. Additionally, staff can administratively approve replacing an existing metal roof on a front porch with EPDM. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 14, 2025 Page 2 of 5 Staff recommends approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 311 Brown Street to fill in the internal gutters on the front porch roof, add sheathing as needed, and roof over the metal roof and gutters with EPDM through the use of an exception to remove the internal gutters, since they continue to poorly function causing water damage. Burford asked if gutters would be put in place of the internal ones or would there just be no gutters at all. Russett stated staff recommends half rounds on the external portion of the front porch. Thomann asked if using the half rounds would all the trim and the molding be preserved. Russett explained yes, the original proposal was to impact that, but what staff is recommending is not to impact that, just fill the gutter in, add the sheathing, add the new roof material and leaving the crown molding in place. Thomann asked if the half round gutter then cover or conceal the crown molding. Russett stated it may cover a portion of the crown molding, but with the half rounds it will show more of the historic trim than a case style gutter. Jennifer Miller (311 Brown Street) stated when they moved into this house in 2021 they met with Jessica Bristow on site and learned about this process. In 2022 they called the people on the list and most people say they can't do this kind of repair so they got the front porch and back porch patched and repeated that in 2023. In 2024 they were told by their insurance that they were going to be kicked off their insurance because of the age of the roof. Luckily, they found new insurance just in the nick of time this summer. In 2024 they gathered bids from people including $32,000 for a whole new roof, which is outside of their budget, but at the beginning of 2025 they met with Bristow and Russett again to discuss how they could get their porch fixed for the sake of the house. Miller wanted to stress that they've been proactive and have called the contractors from the list but that had to be expanded because so many people said they wouldn't do it. Finally, they found Tomlinson Cannon and feel like their proposal and their suggestions are sound. She acknowledged they lost a lot of time as it's already August and they really wanted to make this happen for the sake of the house. Chad Miller (311 Brown Street) added when they first moved in there was already dripping and leaking through the porch roof, both front and back, damaging the soffit, the porch, the front steps. Yes they had it patched but patches don't last and the leaks come back. He can see out from their bedroom to the gutter on the northwest corner and it's practically flat. The water is supposed to go north, then east and around the corner and then south, but at that corner there's really no slope there so it goes right over the roof and into a standing puddle situation. Therefore, by patching the roof it just makes a longer lasting puddle. He doesn't see how to fix that and how to recreate enough slope and enough fall to make that flow properly. He doesn't know how to do that without rebuilding it completely. Miller reiterated they do not want to change anything architecturally for the historic value, they just want something that functions because the porch is getting destroyed, the soffit is getting destroyed, and those are also historic features that are actually more visible than the gutter. Matt Pemble (Exterior Operation Manager, Thomlinson Cannon) has been a finished carpenter in the field for 21 years and been in the construction industry for 30 years. Thomlinson Cannon has been around in Iowa City since 1948 doing gutters, but internal gutters, the built in systems are a poor design and the problem is everything's internal. They leak, they clog, there is settling, they cause other issues. It is hard to keep maintenance on internal gutters because you don't see it, at least not until it starts getting too late. Thomlinson Cannon doesn't do repairs on internal gutters, a lot of companies don't repair Yankee gutters because they fail, so their proposal was to redo the roof and close off the built in gutters because they're causing problems with the soffit internally. Because the gutters are built into the roof system they're causing potentially structural damage to the roof and they don't know how bad until HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION August 14, 2025 Page 3 of 5 they open it up. Again, their proposal was to try to preserve as much as they can, yes the half round will be visible but they will still be able to see the crown molding and the crown molding can be fixed and preserved. The half round would have to be applied with straps because of the crown molding there's no fastener to go straight into the fascia but they wouldn't see the straps except where they barely come up and still be able to see the crown molding. Thomann asked how they fill in those gutters. Pemble explained they will go over the tin with half inch OSB, putting a wood structure, kind of like a roof decking, all completely over. They will build pitch wedges, to get the proper slope on the front porch roof but also getting the slope so the water will come down into the gutter system, wrap it around. Thomann asked if the half round gutters are something typically seen on that era of house. Pemble replied absolutely and a lot of the historical homes around Iowa City still have half rounds. They've came a long way with half rounds, they used to come in 10 foot sections and were put together, now they have the opportunity to have a seamless machine to make them continuous. Additionally, they can still use the downspouts on the older homes or they can get the round down spouts that aren't like the typical modern ones now. Thomann noted they don't generally have much to say about gutters but was just curious about the style. MOTION: Villanueva moves to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 311 Brown Street to fill in the internal gutters on the front porch roof, add sheathing as needed, and roof over the metal roof and gutters with EPDM through the use of an exception to remove the internal gutters, since they continue to poorly function causing water damage. Beck seconded the motion. Burford noted there are a lot of interior gutters built into the houses on Brown Street, he has them on his house, and standing water goes with interior gutters they can't really escape it. He stated they are more esthetic, in his view, than the half rounds, however he understands the practical need to make the change and would therefore be in favor of it. Villanueva stated on her house they also have a front porch with internal gutters and they are having the exact same issue and can't find anyone to repair, remodel or rebuild the gutters. She is impressed with this approach and is in favor of this. She also noted that perhaps since there's such an issue with finding people to help with built in gutters are the guidelines out of date and there is a need for a much bigger discussion. A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

COMMISSION INFORMATION: Open Meeting Training Requirements Russett stated the State recently passed a law that all new board and commission members need to go through an open meeting training that's provided by the State. The City would like all members of boards and commissions to take the training, however the rollout of the training has not gone well and given the fact that people can't get into trainings, and there's not enough trainings, she recommends Commissioners other than Curfman and Villanueva, who were both appointed in July, hold off on trying to get in until others have completed it. COMMISSION DISCUSSION: Awards Lewis noted they switched to doing it in February and starting to plan it in August last year so it's time to begin thinking of scheduling the first subcommittee meeting soon. Friends of Historic Preservation will still be involved, but perhaps different people than last year since some of those people who were involved last year are maybe no longer part of Friends. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 6:00pm. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ATTENDANCE RECORD 2024-2025 TERM 9/12 10/10 11/14 12/12 1/9 2/13 3/13 4/10 5/8 6/12 7/10 8/14 NAME EXP.

IA. 52240 Memorandum Date: September 11, 2025 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner Re: Section 106 review for replacement of US 6 Bridge (52-05122) over the Iowa River in Iowa City At your meeting on June 12, staff provided an update on the Section 106 process for the replacement of the US 6 Bridge over the Iowa River. The bridge was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places during a statewide bridge survey conducted in 2011. In April 2025, it was determined that the bridge could not be repaired or remain in place with a new bridge constructed adjacent to it. The result of this evaluation is that the bridge must be demolished and replaced which is an adverse effect to the bridge. The next step will be the creation and adoption of a formal Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) on how the Iowa Department of Transportation will mitigate the loss of the historic bridge to the community and other interested parties. The State Historic Preservation Office and your Commission will be involved throughout this process. Since the meeting in June, staff has continued to collaborate with the DOT and the SHPO on this effort. The discussions with these agencies have been about possible mitigation measures. Based on input from the Commission, staff provided the DOT with three possible mitigation options: 1. Intensive Survey of Oak Grove Park, 2. Reconnaissance Survey of the Kirkwood / Lucas Farms neighborhood, or 3. Summit Street Monument Project. After discussing these options with the DOT, they have proposed to move forward with the intensive survey of Oak Grove Park. They determined that of the three options this is the one that they could complete within their timeline. Based on the discussion with the DOT, they would propose this draft language for inclusion in the MOA: The Iowa DOT shall, in consultation with the Iowa City HPC and Iowa SHPO, complete an intensive survey of Oak Grove Park and immediately surrounding residences (approximately 12 properties) that are 45 years old or older. The Iowa DOT shall provide a draft of the survey to the Iowa Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240 City HPC, and Iowa SHPO for review and comment, both entities shall provide comments within 60-days of delivery of the survey. All work completed for the intensive survey shall be consistent with Iowa SHPO's draft guidelines for architectural survey in Iowa. The DOT has asked staff to share this language with the Commission to provide you an opportunity to comment and ask questions. CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: October 3, 2025 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Anne Russett, Senior Planner, Neighborhood & Development Services Re: Cannon -Gay House, 320 Melrose Avenue Background The Cannon -Gay House, located at 320 Melrose Avenue, is an L-shaped brick Italianate structure that was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in October 1994 and was locally designated in September 1996 as part of the first group of individual landmarks designated in Iowa City. In 2002, the City worked with the University of Iowa on the vacation of a portion of the Grand Avenue Court public right-of-way. Grand Avenue Court abuts the Cannon -Gay House. The University requested the vacation of right-of-way to accommodate future University development. The resulting Ordinance 02-4051 (Attachment 1) included language that the property contains a house that is "in the City's interest to protect" and that the vacation is "subject to the preservation of the house and grounds" at the property. The agenda for the November 5, 2002 City Council meeting at which the ordinance was approved, includes the comment that the authorization is subject to "agreement by The University of Iowa that it will comply with the Iowa City Historic Preservation Ordinance regarding the Cannon -Gay House, a National Register -listed house and designated Iowa City Historic Landmark at 320 Melrose Avenue". After the adoption of the ordinance vacating the public right-of-way the University executed a restrictive covenant (Attachment 2) that protects the home by making it a local historic landmark and subject to the City's historic preservation regulations. On September 3, the City Manager received a letter from the University of Iowa (Attachment 3) requesting that the City agree to extinguishing the deed restriction protecting the Cannon -Gay House so that they can demolish it. The letter speaks to the University's interest in protecting the Sanxay-Gilmore House at 109 E. Market Street in exchange. At your meeting on October 9, staff would like the Commission to discuss the University's proposal. Comments will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. Attachments 1.

Cannon -Gay House (Melrose Ave-) and the Sanxay House (Markel Street). The UI was g ifted filar t'�aaaaaaan-(iasy Hcsuse decade s agal anti has uscll it spraringly , lire ��ariaaus c atrapus nevdL�. While listed as a lsistoric house, prier to UI oi4nership much of the hoosCs original floor plan had beeli subdlvi€led into many smaller spaces. In recent years the house has been vacant and secured, due to no I; I programmatic use nouds_ UT] maintenance discovered and reported concQms regarding spalling lisunal,ition .bole and first hoar settling. The t17 hired local engineer, Shive-Ha.ttery, to day a structul al analysis. It ilas been dele mined that the original (1884) subgrade foundation has failed, anti for sat'ety reasons the LA is permitting no use ol'the building_ Repairs to make the hajuwe sZfe and usable would be considcr{able and fiscally -inappropriate, especially given alterations impacting its historic references. Similarly, the Ul evens the Sanxay House, dated to the 18 40's. at 109 Marhet Street, The LJI purchased the house from the f=iloriEa Uei Church and considered razing or relocating the, structure... The; City shared a passionate Ixrsition that the lJl leave the house where it Nvasl haill and protect it lrorn future dernolition. The UT c.uTTeaatly has no programmatic needs within the building and given its condition and lack of ADD access, useful space would be limited to roughly I,tl[l0 sf on the; first floor. The huilding is currently vacant and locked. Given the City s priority and desire to have the Ul keels the Sanxay Hawse, and the fatal stale of the stracunncnlaCr-('ray, the [Il t4t lllil llke to i?fee float kve 4i,)n1'ell tl1C t.It4''s reteaatac)n requirements assigned to Cannon-Gav, to the Sanxay House. The University wit] agree to the stipulations of these preservation recluirerrra•nts anti keep the Sanxay House whore it sits, it will also explore options for use of the building;, Therc are a couple additional factors that we hope align with City perspectives and plans we bath share. The City intends to convert Byington Road into a 2-way arterial street, requiring use of W land. The Cannon. -Gay house impacts the intended future: street route. Additionally, while Cannon -Gray is no longer tiimilar to the anginal land. h1slo is house, its expressive. rounded front door is an exception. The UI was approached by the family (.rand associated restoration team) that bought and owns the home on the: historic Woodla�vn Ave circle (at (lie tact end of lowa .Avenue), thzal sufferc:il significant lire damage, The fararity is de6cated tee repairing and restoring that notable hurne and has asked if the CJI would be willing,. to give the historic rounded front door at Cannon -Gay to their as part of their restoration praaject. This local partnership, allows for C'armoii Ciay's rem wining historic clement to live on as {i special parr, ofart Iowa City re's(oraticxa, and allows us all to be :secure in the long; -tern protection of the meaningful San: -ay House.
