HomeMy WebLinkAbout1997-02-25 Ordinance February 22, 199~ ~1~,~'~ ~f~ Dear Council Member( ~/v- ~'Lkar~,~' I am writing on behalf of my family and myself to urge you to vote for the college street historic district. We have been living at 1123 E. College all of our family life together. Our two boys enjoy playing with other children in the neighborhood. My husband and I are able to walk to work each day together and enjoy the close proximity to downtown. This location is ideal for making use of the College Green Park and downtown shops, without the burden of a car and consequent parking hassles. In short, we would like to preserve our way of life and feel that if the block is taken over by apartment buildings full of college students, our current life-style would be ruined. We have watched the gradual decline of the blocks closer to town and regret losing the many stately old homes which were replaced by apartment buildings. Apartment buildings do not make neighborhoods; they make temporary housing. We are in favor of the historic district because we hope it will keep the neighborhood intact. Most of the owners in our district are in favor (my husband did the survey here and we have numbers to prove this). The apartment building that was recently built at the end of our block (Summit and College St.) has already generated more trash, noise, and light pollution to make us certain of our beliefs. Although we have nothing against the people living there, we know that this high concentration of humans produces pollution of all sorts and no one individual living there seems to feel responsible for the state of the place; therefore, litter collects around the place and loud noise issues unstopped. Lights blare all night long. We deeply regret the historic district status was not established in time to prevent this apartment building. Please don't make us suffer another or we will be forced to move to the suburbs and the comfortable small-town feeling of Iowa City will be lost. Sincerely, Ms. Naomi Novick Iowa City Council Civic Center 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240, Louis G. Hoffmann Georgianna S. Hoffmann 1016 E. College St. Iowa City, Ia. 52240 February 22, 1997 Dear Ms. Novick: We urge you to vote in favor of establishing the proposed East College Street and College Green Historic Districts. We believe that the greater good of the City, as well as the expressed wishes of the overwhelming majority of the people who actually live in these neighborhoods, should take precedence over the putative rights of any absentee landlords and future real estate "developers". The notion that property owners have unlimited rights to do as they wish with their properties is a fallacy, It is the very nature of zoning ordinances to limit those rights, In addition to preserving the architectural integrity and character of our neighborhoods, establishment of historic districts will stabilize these neighborhoods because it encourages people to buy homes there for their own long-term residences, and to maintain them with pride. Allowing these established neighborhoods to fall prey to absentee landlords and "developers" means that these properties will be managed for maximum profit -i.e. minimum upkeep - and inhabited by people who are here to-day and gone to-morrow, and who could care less about the character of the neighborhood. It seems to us that that's a good way to grow slums. As illustrated by the fact that the City has spent two years in legal action trying to bring ~ust one slumlord into compliance, enforcing housing codes on unwilling property owners can be very expensive for the City. Long-term owner-residents who take pride in their homes pay their taxes and cost the city litfie or nothing for enforcement. Louis G, Hoffmann Sincerely, Georgianna S. Hoffmann City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: February 20, 1997 To: City Council From: Scott Kugler, Associate Planner Re: College Green and East College Street Historic Districts At the February 11 public hearing on the proposed designation of the above referenced historic districts, there seemed to be some confusion regarding contributing and non- contributing structures within the districts. It was mentioned that several properties along the west side of S. Johnson Street were non-contributing, which raised questions about the appropriateness of including these properties within the district. The following is an attempt to clarify what these evaluations mean for properties within the two districts, and to address other issues surrounding the proposed designations. Contributing vs. Non-contributing: Concurrent with the City's consideration of the designation of these districts as Iowa City historic districts, nominations have been proceeding to list the two districts on the National Register of Historic Places. It is due to the preparation of the National Register nominations for these districts that the contributing/non-contributing evaluations have been made. This determination is not specifically required by the City's historic preservation regulations. In preparing a National Register nomination for a district, criteria must be established to evaluate how each property fits within the historic context under which the district is being established. Properties within the two proposed districts were determined to be non- contributing if any of the following four criteria were met: 1) a construction date after the "period of significance" for each district; 2) the loss of major features such as porches; 3) the presence of significant additions which are visible from the street; and 4) the house has undergone major alterations such as reconstruction of the roofline. Two of the five properties along the west side of S. Johnson Street have been determined to be non- contributing for the purposes of preparing the National Register nomination' forms due to porch alterations. The other three are considered contributing. If a property is considered non-contributing on the National Register nomination forms, this does not necessarily mean that it contributes nothing to the character of the neighborhood. A good example is the property located at 1039 E. College Street, within the East College Street Historic District. Although considered non-contributing due to major alterations to the roofline that significantly altered the building from its original appearance, there is no doubt that this home is a positive element along this block of E. College Street. There have also been many instances where homes within existing historic districts that have been considered non-contributing have been rehabilitated to the point where they would now be considered contributing. Two recent examples include the homes at 519 Brown Street and 802 S. Summit Street. In each case, homes that had been greatly altered have been rehabilitated such that they are similar to their original appearance, and blend harmoniously with the other properties within their respective historic districts. In the case of the two non-contributing properties on S. Johnson Street, neither has been altered to such an extent that it could not be restored or returned to an appearance similar to original, and both still contribute to the overall character of the neighborhood despite the alterations that currently affect the historic integrity of the buildings. Demolition Permits: One item that has not been brought to the Council's attention is the fact that demolition permits have been approved for the properties located at 217-19 and 223 S. Johnson Street. The permits were applied for in late December and approved in January. However, the permits have not yet been picked up. Since the public hearing was set for these two districts on January 28, the demolition permits have been on hold. Once a public hearing is set on a zoning issue, there is a 60-day moratorium on the issuance of building permits that do not comply with the proposed zoning regulations. If the College Green district is approved, review of the demolitions by the Historic Preservation Commission will be required before the permits can be released. Fire Escapes/Stairways: At the February 11 meeting, questions were raised about adding fire escapes to properties within historic districts. The Commission has addressed this issue on at least one previous occasion. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, owners of the A.W. Pratt House at §03 Melrose Avenue (designated as an Iowa City Historic Landmark), requested approval of a secondary exit and exterior stairs that was required to meet fire and building code requirements in order to make use of the upper floor of the building. The project was approved by the Commission as submitted, with the stairway being located at the rear of the building and matching an existing rear porch in materials and design. Construction of the secondary exit was not yet underway during staff's last field inspection of the site last month. Issues that were important to the approval of this application were the fact that the stairs were not highly visible from the street, and that the design fit with the rest of the building.

Notary Public in and for the State of Iowa REASONS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER OF 223 SOUTH JOHNSON IS OBJECTING TO ANY REZONING THAT WOULD PLACE SAID PROPERTY INTO A CONTEMPLATED "HISTORIC DISTRICT" ARE AS FOLLOWS: 1. The City of Iowa City is forever changing and will continue to change in the future. Future best uses of this property are unknown to the owner, the City of Iowa City, Johnson County and any other city, county or government agencies, departments, or commissions. 2. In the event that the owner, or owner's designees, or owner's heirs, or owners assigns should elect to choose to change the present use of the building all within the present existing restrictions set forth by the City of Iowa City, the City of Iowa City Water and Sewer District, City commissioned utility and cable services, any rezoning of this property to a "historic district" would result in additional and unpredictable requirements before such a change would be approved. 3. Additional encumbrances, regulations, and requirements that this property would inherit 'were it to be placed into a "historic district" are unnecessary, unwarranted and duplicative all because of either individual or several subjective evaluations of the property as "histori~ in some manner. 4. Should property owner wish to change the use of the Droperty, the resultant requirements to overcome yet another regulative se~'~of requirements would require time, effort and funds of the property owner, the City of Iowa City and the city taxpayers. 5. Using the guidelines set forth in the "Iowa City Neighborhood Design Book" a publication evidently commissioned and approved by a Historic Preservation Commission, 223 South Johnson does not qualify as a "historic place" for the following reasons: a. The property is not significant to American or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture~ and b. The property does not possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship since for approximately one- half of the life of the building the property has been partitioned into five separate apartments and the exterior and the interior reflects this present useage of the building; and c. The original wood lap siding has been exteriorally insulated, sealed and covered with a textured vinyl siding; and d. The roof has been altered from original wood singles to the present silver painted steel roof; and e..~-The original window frames have been replaced with silver aluminum framed metal combination storm/screen windows; and f. One original exterior door has been eliminated and other original doors have been replaced with a shiny white aluminum storm door combination glass/screen storage making this door not "historically appropriate" according to page 10 of the Iowa City Neighborhood Design Book (ICNDB). -2- g. door openings have been blocked down to accommodate the existing stock door changes (contrary to ICNDB); and h. doorways have been removed sealing off door openings to accommodate the insulation and siding application (contrary to ICNBD); and i. a non-functioning television antennae on the roof has long been in place in the event future tenants choose not to subscribe to cable television.~ (contrary to ICNBD); and j. the original drainage and built-in gutters have been removed and replaced with leak-proof seamless cutters and downspouts (contrary to the recommendations found in ICNBD); and '" k. the original porch has not been maintained but as required by Iowa City Inspection of Housing Department, porch handrails were added in the late 1970s along with step handrails for safety purposes which has necessarily and obviously deterred, detracted and contrasted with the original historic appearance (contrary to the recommendations found in ICNBD); and 1. There is no continuity of architectual style in the six building proposed to be included in this "historic district" that are located on the west side of Johnson Street between College and Burlington -- all are different because they were built at different times on different sized lots (contrary to guidelines for a "historic district" set forth in the commissions own publication -- ICNBD); and the west one-half of the this block is currently zoned CB2 with a convenience store, business buildings and office buildings occupying this westerly one-half of this block and to include the east one half of the block in a "historic district" would be tantamount to spot zoning, and would serve no reasonable economic purpose or reasonable asthetic or historical purpose. Therefore, the property owner of 223 South Johnson Street, Iowa City, Iowa requests that this property be omitted and not included in any proposed and new "historic district" for any and all of the foregoing reasons. 223 South Johnson Street Iowa City, Iowa 52246 TO: PROTEST OF REZONING HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL IOWA CITY, iOWA We, the undersigned, being the owners of twenty percent or more of the area of the property included in the proposed zoning change, or the owners of twenty percent or more of the property which is located within two hundred feet of the exterior boundaries of the property for which the zoning change is proposed, do hereby protest the rezoning of the following property: COLLEGE GREEN HISTORIC DISTRICT. I object to the rezoning of this "area for aesthetic reasons. The additional requirements this would impose on property owners, for the sake of someone elses sense of what is appropriate, are unrealistic. ;~any properties in this area are used for business purposes ( rental properties ) and are already This petition is signed and acknowledged by each of us with the intention that such rezoning shall not become effective except by the favorable vote of at least three-fourths of all the members of the council, all in accordance with §414,5 of the Code of Iowa. closely regulated by existing City requirements. An additional set restrictions on what may be done with a property in this area could ~: very possibly have an adverse effect on future use or sale of my property.
