BONDS, TAXABLE SERIES 2004 Aaa AFFIRMATION AFFECTS $91.2 MILLION IN OUTSTANDING PARITY BONDS, INCLUDING CURRENT ISSUE Iowa City (City of) IA Municipality Iowa Moody's Rating Issue Rating General Obligation Bonds, Taxable Series 2004 Aaa Sale Amount $7,305,000 Expected Sale Date 02/03/04 Rating Description General Obligation Unlimited Tax NEW YORK, January 28, 2004 -- Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Aaa rating to the City of Iowa City's (IA) $7.3 million General Obligation Bonds, Taxable Series 2004. Concurrently, Moody's has affirmed the Aaa rating on the city's $91.2 million of outstanding parity debt, including the current issue. Moody's highest quality Aaa rating is based on the city's strong and diverse local economy, sound financial operations that benefit from healthy reserve levels, and favorable debt profile. The current issue, which is secured by the city's general obligation unlimited tax pledge, will finance urban renewal projects in connection with Plaza Towers. STRONG LOCAL ECONOMY AFFORDED BY INSTITUTIONAL STABILITY Moody's expects the city's focal economy to remain strong due to the stability afforded by the University of iowa (revenue bonds rated Aa2) and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (healthcare revenue bonds rated Aa2, negative outlook). Significant employment opportunities for more than 22,000 people at the University and its medical center, complemented by a mix of service and light manufacturing entities, result in economic stability and continued moderate economic growth. The University ef Iowa is the flagship public institution in the state, with enrollment exceeding 29,000. Despite the significant student population, the city's wealth levels are healthy, exceeding state averages. Unemployment at 3.4% (11/03) is lower than both state and national levels. These positive economic factors continue to drive tax base growth with assessed valuation increasing 3.9% annually over the last ten years and full value reaching a sizable $3.19 bi[lion for the 2003 assessment year. City officials expect that this level of growth will be maintained due to continued commercial and residential development, as well as the availability of land for development. SOUND FINANCIAL OPERATIONS DESPITE PRESSURES FROM STATE REDUCTIONS Moody's believes the city's financial operations will remain sound given a demonstrated record of prudent management and conservative budgeting practices. Results for FY 2002 were positive, with Undesignated General Fund balance reaching $8.8 million or a healthy 31% of General Fund revenues. The city implemented expenditure reductions and some minor revenue increases, which officials indicate will result in a surplus of approximately $2.0 million for FY 2003. For FY 2004, the city's budget was dramatically impacted by state funding reductions. This reduction along with anticipated declines in the residential rollback for FY 2005, resulted in a projected $1.8 million budget gap. The city has adequately addressed this gap through the implementation of approximately $500,000 in additional revenue enhancements along with $1,000,000 in expenditure reductions. Favorably, city officials expect balanced operations for FY 2004 and FY 2005. The city derives the bulk of its revenues from property taxes, comprising almost two-thirds of core revenues during FY 2002. The strength and stability of the property tax base lends further support to Moody's expectation of consistently sound financial operations. Aisc, the city is currently at its operating levy rate limit and is using its emergency levy for some operational expenditures. FAVORABLE DEBT PROFILE WITH DIRECT DEBT SUBJECT TO AGGRESSIVE RETIREMENT Moody's believes the city's debt profile will remain favorable as outstanding debt is rapidly retired and taxable resources will continue to expand moderating the impact of the city's limited future borrowing plans. Debt burden is average at 4.0%; direct debt is similarly average at 3.2% of full valuation. The rate of principal amortization is rapid with 69% of general obligation debt retired in ten years. The city intends to issue $6.4 million to fund 2004 capital improvements, of which approximately $1.6 million will be supported by sewer revenues. Further support to debt burden is provided by alternate revenue sources which pay approximately 25% of the city's general obligation debt. KEY STATISTICS 2002 estimated population: 63,618 2002 full valuation: $3.19 billion 2002 full valuation per capita: $50,212 Debt burden: Overall 4.0%, Direct 3.2% Principal amortization (10 years): 69% FY 2002 Undesignated General Fund balance: $8.8 million (31% of General Fund) Median family income as % of state: 120% Per capita income as % of state: 103% Unemployment (11/03): 3.4%, State 3.9% Post-sale parity debt outstanding: $91.2 million Council Member £hampi on introduced the following Resolution entitled "RESOLUTION DIRECTING SALE OF $7,305,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, TAXABLE SERIES 2004" and moved its adoption.

I "Why should a community like Iowa City care about historic preservation?" "The simple answer is that conservinq old buildio,qs and neiqhborhoods makes a pood community better Iowa City is blessed with a collection of fine, well-maintained older neiqhborhoods and individual landmarks which are recoqnized and appreciated by the entire communit!z Historic preservation has the potential to enhance the quality of life and economic well-beinq of current and future residents." Marlys Svendsen Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan In 1992, the Iowa City City Council adopted the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan that was prepared by architectural historian Marlys Svendsen. The plan carefully and thouqhtfu[ly evaluated Iowa City's historic buildinqs and neighbor- hoods and set forth a plan of action for their stewardship. Historic neiqhborhoods and buildinqs are protected by the desiqnation of historic districts, conservation districts and historic landmarks. Desiqnation provides for the careful management of these resources by the Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission throuqh the historic review process. The purpose of historic review is to preserve or conserve historic architectural resources by discouraqinq alterations that either destroy the unique characteristics of a buildinq or alter the character of historic neiqhborhoods. 1.2 The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission was created by local ordinance in December 1982. Its mission statement as described in the Iowa City Historic Preservation Plan is "To identify, protect, and preserve the community's historic resources in order to enhance the quality of life and economic well-being of current and future generations." Its members are citizen volunteers appointed by the City Council. Many of the members reside in historic districts and have expertise in fields related to historic preservation. The Commission is responsible for surveyinq historic neiqhborhoods and recommendinq to City Council neiqhbor- hoods that should be desiqnated as conservation or historic districts, as well as individual properties that should be designated as historic landmarks. Once districts and landmarks are identified and desiqnated, the Commission reviews proposed chanties to the exteriors of these properties throuqh the historic review process. 1.3 Districts and Landmarks Historic and conservation districts, and historic landmarks, are designated by ordinance by the Iowa City City Council with recommendations from the Historic Preservation Commission, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and the Planning and Zoninq Commission. Recommendations for the historic desiqnation of districts and properties are also received from professional architectural historians following an intensive survey and evaluation of a neiqhborhood's historic properties and resburces. Historic Districts Historic districts are qeoqraphically cohesive areas with significant concentrations of buildinqs and other resources that possess a hiqh deqree of historic inteqrity. Historic districts are typically first nominated to and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and then desiqnated as local historic districts. Designation as a local district provides the Historic Preservation Commission with the authority to review chanqes to properties that may affect the historic character of the property and the district. The overall character of a historic district must convey a distinct sense of time and place. 3 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Conservation Districts Conservation districts are neiqhborhoods that appear similar to historic districts in character. However, because they have fewer properties that retain a high degree of historic ntegr ty or contr bute to a distinct sense of time and place within the neiqhborhood, they do not qualify as historic districts based on State Code. Because they are still consid- ered worthy of protection, City Council may designate these neighborhoods for historic conservation. Iowa City Historic Landmarks Historic landmarks are buildinqs that are individually significant for their architectural and/or cultural merits. Like historic districts, these properties are typically listed on the National Register of Historic Places, or are eliFlible for listing on the National Register. 1.4 Classification of Properties in Districts Properties in conservation and historic districts are classified based on their historic and architectural significance and inteqrity. Because neighborhoods change over time, these d str cts typically have some structures that are not historic or that have been severely altered. Buildings in historic or conservation districts may range from outstandinq historic landmarks to architecturally incompatible, modern structures, Dependinq on the classification of a property, certain exceptions to the quidelines or financial incentives may be applicable. To determine the classification of a specific property in a historic or conservation district, refer to the Table of Contents to locate the appropriate district map that indicates the property's classification. To determine if a property has been desiqnated a historic landmark, see section 12.0 Historic Landmarks. Contributing and Noncontributing Properties When districts are evaluated and nominated for preservation and conservation, individual properties are classified as either contributing or noncontr but nq to the historic character of the proposed district. Contributing Properties In historic districts, to be classified as a contributing property the primary building must (1) have an architectural style and character that is clearly evident and (2) was constructed during the district's period of siqnificance and relate to a siqnificant historic context in the neiqhborhood's history. The period of siqnificance and the historic context(s) for each district are determined by professional consultants prior to designation. Contributing properties in historin districts may be eliqible for Federal, State and local tax incentives for substantial rehabilitation. Conservation districts tend to exhibit a qreater variety of buildinq styles from different time periods and are less culturally cohesive, so their historic contexts are more loosely defined. The primary determining factors in classifyinq a property in a conservation district are (1) the historic inteqrity of the primary building and (2) the aqe of the primary building, which typically must be at least 50 years old at the time a district is desiqnated. Noncontributing and Nonhistoric Properties Properties that are not classified as contributinq are classified as noncontributinq. Noncontributing properties have a primary building that has been significantly a tered or that is nonhistoric. Nonhistoric buildinqs are buildinqs con- structed after a district's period of siqnificance and were generally less than 50 years old at the time the district was designated. These properties are NOT exempt from historic preservation requlations, but exceptions to the quidelines are appli- cable. The rehabilitation of noncontributinq historic buildinqs is encouraqed, The demolition of existinq nonhistoric buildings and construction of new, more architecturally compatible buildinqs is allowed. Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Durinq the process of preparing the survey and evaluation for each historic neighborhood and, for historic districts, the National Register of Historic Places nomination, each property is visually inspected and historically researched by a (Revision professional architectural historian. The Commission uses this information to determine the classification of each January 28, property. However, the Commission may vote to chanqe the classification of a property under the following conditions: 2004) 1~ Additional information is discovered that documents it has greater cultural significance than originally determined. 2_: It is determined that the original research and inspection did not conclusively or accurately document the architec- tural or historic fabric of the property. 3~ A property has been substantially altered since it was originally classified. If an owner feels his or her property has been incorrectly classified, the owner may submit a letter to the Preservation Planner requesting that the property be re-evaluated. The Preservation Planner will submit the request, along with a report and recommendation, to the Commission for a determination, 1.5 Historic Designation Process Neighborhoods surveyed & evaluated District &landmark recommendations Architectural & cultural ~ Neighborhood or research ~ Commission initiation Property classification Prepare district guidelines & maps Reconnaissance survey (districts only) * Neighborhood * Neighborhood meetings (2-3) ' Historic Preservation Commission meetings (1-2) public hearing * Letter from State ] State recommendation State & Federal approval * Planning & Zoning Commiss on public discussion ** City ¢ou~t~11 Publtc hearing * Notification of property owners oy ma ** Public notification onn[erJ ~n newspao6r 5 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Landmarks and Key Properties Landmarks are properties that are individually siqnificant because of their architectural quality, inteqrity and historic or cultural significance. Iowa City has over 40 local historic landmarks that are subiect to the historic preservation regulations. Properties classified as key are either landmarks or are eliqible for desiqnation as landmarks. Key properties are subiect to the same historic preservation quidelines as contributinq buildings in historic districts. Key properties and landmarks may be eliqible for Federal, State and local tax incentives for substantial rehabilitation. See section 12.0 Historic Landmarks for a complete list of landmarks. Key properties are illustrated on the district maps in sections 14.0 throuqh 17.0. For a list of properties located outside existinq districts that are eliqible for landmark designation, contact the Preservation Planner. .~ 2.0 Historic Review .~_ The historic preservation quidelines contained in this handbook will be used by the Historic Preservation Commission to determine if a proposed change to a landmark or property in a district is compatible with the historic character of the district and property. The intent of the historic review process is: · _ To ensure that chanqes to landmarks and properties in districts do not substantially alter or destroy the defininq architectural character of the buildinq, site or neiqhborhood. · To provide property owners, contractors and consultants with technical assistance and alternatives to ensure that proposed proiects conform with the historic preservation guidelines. 2. I When is Historic Review Required? Historic review by the Commission is required for all construction projects that require a regulated permit, and change the exterior features of any property in a historic or conservation district, or any historic landmark. The proposed project must be approved by the Commission before a building permit will be issued by Housing and Inspection Services. Examples of common projects that require a regulated permit and historic review are: · Application or reapplication of new siding. · Construction of decks and ramps. · Replacement or addition of windows _. Adding skylights. (including sash replacement). · Demolition of a qaraqe or other outbuildinq. · Porch construction, reconstruction or replacement. · Removal of porches, trim, brackets, chimneys, · Construction of new dormers, dormers or other defining architectural features. · Construction of additions · Construction of a new qara~qe. NOTE: The application of siding, window replacement, and demolition of portions of a buildinq require a buildinq permit for properties within districts and landmarks. For properties that are not within a historic or conservation district, and that have not been desiqnated landmarks, these actions do not require a permit. Examples of common projects that may not require a regulated permit and need not be reviewed by the Commission aye: · Exterior painting. · Window repair (excludinq sash replacement). · Reapplication of roof shingles. _. Construction of fencesthat are less than 6 feet hiqh. ! Installation of new storm windows. · Construction of accessory structures, such as _. Replacement of external gutters and downspouts, garden sheds, less than 144 square feet in area. 6 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook A complete list of work exempt from permit can be found in Amendments to: International Residenhal Code, Interna- tional Building Code, which is available through Housing and Inspection Services. 2.2 Historic Review Process The Commission strongly recommends meeting with the Pre.application meeting Preservation Planner prior to submitting an application An application may be obtained from the Planning Bepartment Submit application or on the City's website at www, icqov, orq Planner evaluation The Preservation Planner will determine thetypeofHistoric I Review required Repair- No change in I appearance Major Review Intermediate Review Minor Review ~_.

The application should include dimensioned drawings, sketches, photographs, text, product samples, or other exhibits that accurately portray the work to be done The Commission may request additional information if it cannot fairly evaluate the application as submitted A pre-application conference with the Preservation Planner is recommended to help ensure that a pro- posed project will comply with the quidelines. Application forms may be obtained from the Planninq and Community Development Department, Housinq and Inspection Services or on the web at www.icqov.org 2.4 Major Review and Certificates of Appropriateness Most applications for landmarks and properties in historic districts, and applications for significant changes in con- servation districts, will require major review. These applications will be reviewed by the Historic Review Subcommit- .~ tee, which is composed of three members of the Historic Preservation Commission. The Subcommittee wilt make ,~ recommendations to the Historic Preservation Commission and a quorum of the Commission will vote to approve or .~ deny the application at its next regularly scheduled meeting. If a maiority of the Commission votes to approve the :: application, a Certificate of Appropriateness will be issued to the owner and contractor, and will be filed with Housing ,.~ and Inspection Services and the City Clerk. 2.5 Alternative Review in Conservation Districts In conservation districts, there are two alternative types of review that are intended to shorten the historic review process. Intermediate review and minor review may be used to approve Certificates of Appropriateness for certain types of projects. The applicant, Preservation Planner, or Commission members may request that a minor review be treated as an intermediate review or that an intermediate review go to the full Commission. Intermediate Review For contributing properties n a conservat on district, the following items may be approved by the Preservation Planner and Commission Chair or the Chair's desiqnee: · Alterations: All alterations except chanqes in window type, pattern or dimension, and addition of dormers. · Additions: Decks located behind the primary structure. · _ New construction: New outbuildinqs, provided they are located behind the rear plane of an existinq primary structure. · Demolition: Nonhistoric outbuildings and nonhistoric buildinq features. · Certificates of No Material Effect. ............................................... u .... lng. ....... ro~ 8 Iowa Cily Hiatorio Preservation Handbook Minor Review For noncontributinq properties in a conservation district, the followinq items may be approved by the Preservation Planner: · Alterations: Ail alterations except chanqes in window type, pattern or dimension, and addition of dormers. · Additions: Decks located behind the primary structure and ramps.

The Certificate of Appropriateness, or the Resolution of Denial, which states the reason for the decision, will be filed with the City Clerk within five days of the decision. The applicant has 10 days from the time it is filed with the Clerk to file a letter with the Preservation Planner requestinq an appeal. The City Council or Board of Adiustment will determine if the decision of the Historic Preserva- tion Commission was arbitrary or capricious, but neither the Council nor the Board has the authority to override a decision by the Commission if it is determined that it was not arbitrary or capricious. 3,0 About the Guidelines for Historic Preservation The purpose of the historic preservation guidelines is to: · Provide comprehensive design guidelines for construction projects to landmarks and properties within each district. · Provide property owners with design criteria that will be the basis for approving or denying Certificates of Appropriateness. · Identify the defining characteristics of each individual historic or conservation district. In writinq the historic preservation quidelines, the Historic Preservation Commission has made every effort to clarify the criteria for historic review. However, not every situation can be anticipated. The Commission, at its discretion, ma,/ allow some flexibility for unique properties and situations. The Preservation Planner is available to answer any ques- tions, assist an owner or contractor with their prelect, and provide additional preservation information. 9 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Iowa City Guidelines These guidelines were written by the Iowa Historic Preservation Commission to address specifically the historic preservation issues in Iowa City and to provide more detailed guidance to property owners and builders as they design their construction projects. The guidelines are based on The Secreta,?/of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, which can be found in section 9.0. The Iowa City Guidelines are the quidelines that will be used to evaluate most proiects. If there are issues that are not addressed in these ;]uidelines, then the H stor c Preservation Commission will use The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation and the Guidelines for Rehabilitatinq Historic Buildinqs, which are guidelines for interpreting the Standards.. Typically, there are four types of projects that modify the exterior of landmarks or properties within districts. The Iowa City Guidelines are divided into four sections that correspond to these proiect types. These are: 4.0 Iowa City Guidelines for AIterations 5.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Additions 6.0 Iowa City Guidelines for New Construction 7.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Demolition Alterations Alterations are modifications to a site or to the exterior of a building that do not increase the size of the building's footprint. Most maintenance and remodeling projects such as sidinq repair, reconstruction or repair of historic porches, adding dormers to convert an attic space to a livinq space, and replacinq doors and windows are considered alterations. These projects will be evaluated usin9 4.0 Iowa City Guidelines forAIterations. Additions Construction that results in a larger building footprint, increases the building's overall height, or adds an attached structure to a building are additions. Additions include construction of a new room, porch, or deck. These proiects will be evaluated usinq 5.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Additions as well as &0 Neiqhborhood District Guidelines. Setback Additions A setback addition is constructed behind an existing building, opposite the street facade, and is set back eight inches or more from the side walls. The roof of a setback addition can be no higher than the roof of the existing building. This results in an addition that is narrower and no taller than the building to which it is attached, and is therefore not highly visible from the street. Setback additions are encouraged because they have less impact on a historic building and district. Therefore, the guidelines for these structures are less stringent. Setback additions will be evaluated usinq 5.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Additions as well as 8.0 Neiqhborhood District Guideline.~ New Construction AIthouqh most lots n conservation and historic districts are developed, there may be occasions where a new primary building or outbuildinq is constructed. Outbuildinqs include qarages, qarden sheds, gazebos and other accessory structures that require a buildinq permit. Under most circumstances, nonhistoric buildings and structures may bn demolished and the lot redeveloped. However, the new buildinq and the demolition must be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission before any buildinq or demolition permits are issued. These projects will be evaluated usinq 6.0 Iowa City Guidelines for New Construction, 8.0 Neighborhood District Guidelines and if applicable 7.0 Iowa Cilv Guidelines for Demolition. Demolition Demolition involves the complete removal of a buildinq or a portion of a buildinq. Removal of dormers, decorative trim, porches, balusters, chimneys and other significant features requires a building permit for demolition, and therefore historic review. Demolition proiects will be evaluated usinq 7.0 Iowa Cily Guidelines for Demolition. Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 3.2 Exceptions to the Iowa City Guidelines In order to provide flexibility for changes to properties in conservation districts, noncontributing properties in historic districts, and setback additions, a number of exceptions to the Iowa City Guidelines have been created. These exceptions are intended to provide additional flexibility in cases where a proposed construction project does not significantly affect the architectural character of a historic structure, These exceptions, where applicable, are listed at the end of each section of the quidelines. 3.3 Exceptions for Nonhistoric Properties The historic preservation regulations are intended primarily to protect the character and integrity of historic properties and districts. The great maiority of properties ocated n historic and conservation districts are historic properties, and were constructed in or before 1945. For the relatively small number of properties that are classified as nonhistoric properties and were constructed after the period of siqnificance of a district, the Historic Preservation Commission may qrant exceptions to the Iowa City Guidelines. In order to qualify for an exception, the proposed chanqe to the exterior of a nonhistoric property must comply with the followinq criteria: Does not further detract from the historic character of the district. Does not create a false historic character. 3. ts compatible with the style and character of the nonhistoric property. Examples of exceptions that may be granted for nonhistoric properties are · Use of vinyl and vinyl clad wood windows and snap-in muntin bars for replacement windows. · Installation of sliding patio doors or other modern-style doors. · Use of synthetic siding on existinq buildings provided the replacement siding is similar in appearance to the original siding. · Use of synthetic siding on new accessory structures. · Use of concrete for a porch floor provided the floor is less than 18 inches above qrade. · Use of dimensional lumber for porch floor boards provided the gap between boards s no more than 1/8 inch. · Alternative baluster and handrail desiqns. 3.4 Additional Historic Preservation Guidelines Neighborhood District Guidelines The size and location of a primary buildinR on a site are some of the defininq characteristics of historic and conser- vation districts. The size of buildings, lots and yards, as well as the architectural character of the buildinqs varies by district. Section 8.0 Neighborhood District Guidelines deals specifically with site, scale, structure location, and architectural style for properties within individual historic or conservation districts. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation The Secretaq/ of the Interior's ,Standards for Rehabilitation and the Guidelines for Rehabilitatinq Historic Buildinqs am national standards for historic preservation. The Secretary of the Interior defines rehabilitation as "the process of returning a property to a state of utility, through repair or alteration, which makes possible an efficient contemporary use while preserving those portions and features of the property which are siqnificant to its historic, architectural, and cultural value." The qoals of the Standards can be summarized as follows: 11 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Identify and preserve those materials and features that are impodant in defining the building's historic character Undertake routine maintenance on historic materials and features. Routine maintenance qenerally involves the least amount of work needed to preserve the materials and features of the buildinq. 3~ Repair damaqed or deteriorated historic materials and features. 4. Replace severely damaged or deteriorated historic materials and features in kind. The Iowa City Guidelines is base on the Standards, but they provide more specific guidance. Occasionally alteration~ are proposed to properties that were not anticipated in the Iowa City Guidelines. When this occurs, the Historic Preservation Commission will refer to the Standards when decidinq on a Certificate of Appropriateness. The Stan- dards are located in section 9.0. Design Guidelines for Hulti-Famil¥ Buildings in the Central Planning District These quidelines are based on the Multi-Family Residential Desiqn Standards in the Central Planninq District of the Iowa City Zoninq Code and apply to the construction of buildinqs with three or more dwellinq units. Typically, a new multi-family building would be evaluated by the Staff Desiqn Review Committee. However, if it is located within a historic or conservation district, the Historic Preservation Commission is responsible for design review and has adapted the oriqinal quidelines to be more applicable to districts. Within districts, more weight is given to the architectural style of the proposed buildinq and its compatibility with other historic structures. The Desiqn Guidelines for Multi-Family Buildinqs are located in section 10.0. Building (::ode and Zoning Ordinances The requirements of the building code and the zoning ordinance must be met in addition to the requirements of the Iowa City Guidelines. For certain requirements such as mass, scale, size, siting considerations, and setbacks from the street, the Iowa City Guidelines may be more stringent than the building code or the zoning ordinance. Thee Historic Preservation Commission does NOT review proiects for compliance with the building code or zoninq ordi- nance. Please consult with Housinq and Inspection Services to ensure the proiect is in compliance with these requlations. Alternative Desi§ns Alternative design solutions or exceptions to the Iowa City Guidelines, the Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Build- ings, or the Neighborhood District Guidelines may be considered by the Historic Preservation Commission. The intent in considering alternative designs is to allow architectural flexibility in exceptional circumstances. The intent is not to reduce the scope or quality of work required by these guidelines. 12 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 4,0 Iowa City Guidelines for Alterations Most maintenance and remodelinq prelects such as sidinq repair, porch reconstruction or repair, and chanties to the doors and windows are considered alterations. Alterations to both contributing and noncontributinq properties, as well as landmarks, should be done in a manner that is appropriate to the style and a.qe of the building, as well as its neighborhood context, The historic character and inteqrity of older buildings should be.maintained by repairing historic components to the extent feasible and usinq traditional materials and techniques. 4.1 Foundations Foundations provide a base for a buildin9 and make a transition from the walls above ground to the walls or supports below ground, The amount of exposed foundation varies with historic structures, but is typically 12 to 30 inches. On brick or stone structures the foundation material may be different in color and texture than the wall material, and the two are often separated by a belt course of yet another material or pattern, Recommended: Disallowed: Historic foundations Historic foundations · Correcting all sources of moisture and other circum- · Covering exposed brick, stone, and r'JSficctcd mc stances that may cause damage to the foundation co,q,5' textured concrete block foundations with a ce- wall and footinqs, ment plaster or stucco. · Repairing historic foundations rather than replacing them.

As such, it is a relatively maintenance-free material. When there is deterioration of masonry, the single most important step is to locate and repair the cause of the problem before going to the expense and trouble of repairing the masonry. When repairing masonry, thrco-four important properties should be considered: color, texture, dimension, and hardness of the masonry units.

Many dwellings have wood elements such as trim, windows, doors, porches, cornices, decorative elements, and pediments.

Most often it is plain ~ clapboard siding with an exposure between 3 and 5 inches; however, it is sometimes tongue and groove, shiplap, or wall shingle *,¢ .... ~,~ siding. Wood siding along with the trim details and a variety of paint colors combine to make one of the most important defining characteristics of tho historic districts. This display of detail and color is essential to the character of the old neighborhoods, and therefore siding must be protected by the design guidelines. The primary threat to the traditional appearance of the-olde~r neighborhoods has come with the application of syn- thetic siding. This has been installed in an effort to avoid periodic painting. While synthetic siding may last longer than a paint job, it does deteriorate over time and does need to be replaced when it fades, cracks, dents, or deteriorates. The application of synthetic siding covers many architectural details of a building, damages the historic siding and trim, and in some cases, necessitates the removal of historic elements altogether. For ali of the reasons stated above, the covering of historic properties with synthetic siding is not allowed.

Only substantive changes from the Neighborhood District Guidelines have been indicated.) Most new structures constructed in Iowa City's historic neighborhoods are garages or other outbuildings. Although most of the lots in these neighborhoods are developed, occasionally the oppodunity to construct a new primary structure on a vacant lot may arise, or to replace a nonhistoric build/hq or a build/hq that has been destroyed. These guidelines are intended to ensure that new buildinqs are compatible with the character of the neiqhborhood. Pro- § posed new buildinqs must also comply with 8.0 Neiqhborhood District Guidelines, which are used to determine the appropriate size, scale, site location and architectural style of the new buildinq. These factors are dependent on the character of the surroundinq neiqhborhood and district, and therefore are not addressed in this section. 6, I New Primary Structures ._~ Recommended: Recommended (cont.): Setbacks (Moved from Neighborhood D/strict Guide- Masonry (Moved from Neichborhood D/strict Guidelines.) ..~ lines.) · Using masonry that has a similar appearance to the · For new primary buildings, locating the building a masonry on historic buildings of a similar architec- distance from the street so that the setback is con-rural style. s/stent with the setbacks of existing buildings located Wood.(Moved from Neighborhood District Gu de nes ) adjacent to the proposed building. · Usingwoodoranapproved woodsubstituteforbuild- · Determining the setback of a new primary building lng trim and features such as corner boards, win- by taking the average of the setbacks of the four near- dow trim, frieze boards, columns, brackets and s/mi- est primary buildings located on the same block and lar features. along the same street frontage.

Guidelines specific to individual districts, remain under Neighborhood District Guidelines.) 8. I Longfellow Neighborhood The Longfellow Neighborhood District Guidelines apply ,!,~.,,,, I i %:~:-- ~ : to the Summit Street Historic District, Longfellow Historic District (including the Moffitt Cottage National Register Historic District), Governor-Lucas Street Con- servation District, Clark Street Conservation District, and Dearborn Street Conservation District. They apply to single-family and duplex buildings in these neighbor- hood districts. Site and Scale Guidelines Setback, Front [ On Summit Street only: The rear wall of the primary struc- tures must not extend deeper than 125 feet from the front street. This restriction preserves the openness of the rear yards. Building Facade The total surface area of the street elevation of a new primary building must be no more than 800 square feet. Existing primary structures must not be expanded in such a manner that the total surface area exceeds 800 square feet. For the purposes of enforcing this guideline, the total surface area of the street elevation is defined as a figure derived by calculating the surface area of all wall and roof surfaces, including window and door openings, that are visible in a measured drawing of the building's street elevation. On Governor, Bowery, and Court Streets only: The total surface area of the street elevation must be no more than 1200 square feet for a new primary building or for an existing building including a new addition. On Summit Street only: The total surface area of the street elevation must be no more than 1500 square feet for a new primary building or for an existing building including a new addition, and no more than 750 square feet for a new outbuildinq building. In the Moffitt Cottage National Register Historic D str ct on y The surface area of the street elevation must be no more than 450 square feet for a new primary buildinq or an existing buildinq including a new addition. Outbuildings In the Summit Street Historic District only: Attached garages are not allowed. Garages must be located at the rear of the property wherever possible. 33 Iowa City Historic Preservalion Handbook Architectural Guidelines for New Primary Structures Building Styles Architectural style is a defining characteristic for historic and conservation districts. A new primary structure must reflect the historic styles of its neighborhood. Although new construction may adapt and mix some elements of different styles, a single style must dictate the height and mass, rooflines, fenestration, and overhangs for the new building. Please refer to section 11.0 Residential Architectural Styles of Iowa City for examples of historic building styles. The architectural styles represented in each district are given below. In the Summit Street Historic District only: A new building must reflect the Italianate, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, American Foursquare, Prairie School, Vernacular, or Eclectic style. In the Lonqfellow Historic District only: A new building must reflect the Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Craftsman, Craftsman Bungalow. American Foursquare, Prairie School. Period Revival Coftaqe, Vernacular, or Eclectic style. In the Governor-Lucas Street Conservation District only: A new building on Governor Street must reflect the Italianate, Queen Anne, American Foursquare, or Vernacular style. A new building on Lucas Street must reflect the Queen Anne, Craftsman, Craftsman Bungalow, American Foursquare, Prairie Schoo!, or Vernacular style. tn the Clark Street Conservation District only: A new building must reflect the QueenAnne, Colonial Revival, Crafts- man, Craftsman Bungalow, American Foursquare, Vernacular, or Eclectic style.

Building Height and Mass New single-family houses or duplexes must be one, one-and-a-half, or two stories in height except as noted below, In the Summit Street Historic District only: New single-family houses must have two full stories in the principal portion of the building. In the Moffitt Cottage National Register Historic District only: New single-family houses must be one story in height, Porches tn the Moffitt Cottaqe National Register Historic District only: Traditional front porches were not used in this district and must not be used on new structures. 8.2 College Hill Neighborhood .......... ;" ~-- !'~:~-: ~ The College Hill Neighborhood District Guidelines ap -~ ply to the College Green Historic District, East College Street Historic District, and the College Hill Conservation ~; District. They apply to single-family and duplex buildings in these neighborhood districts. Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Site and Scale Guidelines Building Facade The total surface area of the street elevation of a new primary structure must be no more than 1200 square feet, Existing primary structures that were historically single-family houses must not be expanded in such a manner that the total surface area exceeds 1200 square feet, If the primary structure is accidentally destroyed or is a noncontributing structure that the owner wishes to demolish, and if the structure had/has a street elevation surface area of 1200 square feet or greater, it may be reconstructed provided its street elevation area does not exceed the area of the pre-existing primary structure. For the purposes of enforcing this guideline, the total surface area of the street elevation is defined as a figure derived by calculating the surface area of ail wall and roof surfaces, including window and door openings, that are visible in a measured drawing of the building's street elevation.

The Standards are accompanied by instructions concerning methods, materials, historical character, and other consid- erations that relate to the historical significance of the particular property and its surroundings. The Standards have been widely accepted by state, county, and city governments. The Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission uses the Standards to determine the appropriateness of exterior chanqes to historic landmarks and properties located in historic and conservation districts. The Iowa City Guidelines are based on and comply with the Standards, and were written to provide more specific quidance for owners, contractors and consultants in Iowa City as well as the Historic Preservation Commission. The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation (1990) are listed below. 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 alter- ation of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 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 documen- tary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that character- ize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired. 37 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 10.0 Design Guidelines for Multi-Family Buildings I 0. I Mandatory Compliance Items Compliance with the following design standards must be demonstrated prior to the issuance of a Certificate of .~ Appropriateness. ~ Front Setback ~E The front yard setback must comply with the setback requirements established within the appropriate individual w district guidelines. If no setback requirement is established within the district guidelines, the following standard must ~ apply~ The building setback must not deviate from the average setback of existing structures on its street frontage by ,~ more than 5 feet, and in no case shall a new building be located closer to the street than the existing principle building ~- on its frontage with the shallowest setback. The setbacks of existing buildings shall be measured at the first floor wall '~ of the main living area or commercial floor area of the building, excluding a covered or enclosed porch. If front ~ porches are prevalent on existing structures, the new building may contain a covered front porch that extends into the "' front yard, provided it is located no closer to the street than any of the other porches on its block. Li§hting All exterior lighting, including balcony and porch lighting, must be carefully placed, downcast and shielded so that entrances, sidewalks and stairways are well tit, but the lighting is non-obtrusive to neighboring properties. No exterior light source should be located on poles more than 15 feet high. When lights mounted on buildings are intended to provide site lighting rather than corridor or exit lighting, they must be mounted no higher than 15 feet. Lights intended to architecturally highlight a building or its features must use a limited pattern of light that does not extend beyond the wall of the building. Parking Parking lots, including detached garages and carports, must not be located between the principle building and the street. Parking must be located behind a building, below grade, or under a building. On corner lots parking may be located alongside the building, but not within a required front or side yard and no closer than 20 feet to the sidewalk. Landscaped screening consisting of densely planted evergreen shrubs, a hedge, a combination of evergreen and deciduous shrubs, or a decorative masonry wall in combination with landscaping must be used to screen the parking from the street and adjacent properties. Parking Below Buildings Where parking is located below a building, any exposed por[ions of the exterior walls of the parking area visible from a street and extending more than three feet above the ground must appear to be a component of the facade of the building. The use of similar building materials, window openings, and providing facade detailing similar to the upper levels are examples of how this can be achieved. In no case shall a building have the appearance from the street of being elevated above a parking level, or "on stilts." Garages When parking is provided within the primary structure, garage doors should not be located on any side of a building facing a street. When located on a side wall or on a rear wall on a corner lot, landscaping, masonry walls, or elements of the building should be used to help screen the garage doors from view from the street. 38 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Building Orientation Orientation of the "front" of the building must be to the street in a manner similar to existing buildings in the neighbor- hood, including an entrance with some architectural emphasis provided on the front of the building. Architectural treatments which emphasize the entrance include, but are not limited to, front porches, transom and sidelight win- dows, decorative trim and moldings, and/or arches. Pedestrian Access A sidewalk must be provided that connects the entrance door or porch to the public sidewalk. Balconies/Decks Balconies and decks should be designed so that they are integrated into the overall design of the building. Methods of integrating balconies into the building design may include, but are not limited to, fully or partially recessing them into the facade of the building, placing them under a roof that is integrated into the overall roof plan, utilizing suppods that are compatible with the rest of the building in terms of materials and design, and utilizing supports that reach to the ground rather than append on the exterior of the building, When designed in such a manner, balconies and decks may encroach into the required front yard, provided they are located no closer to the street than any porches on the street frontage. Balconies and decks must be placed adjacent to the front or rear yard rather than the side yard, Building Height/Mass Measures should be incorporated into the design of a new building that help to reduce its "visual mass" and overall height. Examples include 1) holding the height of the eave line down by making the upper floor of a building a "half" story and utilizing dormers to accommodate the use of floor area; 2) stepping the height of a taller building down to two stories at ends adjacent to existing buildings that are two-stories or lower in height; and 3) providing significant variations in the roofline and front building plane which help to reduce the scale of the building along the streetscape, Roofline Rooflines should reflect the predominant roof type, orientation, scale and pitch of existing buildings within the neigh- borhood. Building Modulation The street elevation setback should be varied such that no continuous wall plane or surface exceeds 35 feet in length, and such that variations between wall planes or surfaces are at least 18 inches in depth, Variations in wall planes should be accompanied by corresponding changes in the roofline and other architectural elements of the building. Windows/Fenestration The placement of windows and doors on street elevations should be consistent with the window and door patterns found on other properties in the surrounding neighborhood, and of a similar size, scale and proportion to the windows of other buildings in the neighborhood. The use of trim and moldings must be similar in width and character to surrounding buildings. Architectural Style Building Styles Design elements from existing architectural styles found on contributing structures within the district, such as building form, rooflines, window patterns, building materials, entrance ways, and architectural detailing, must be incorporated into the design of new buildings to help them fit within the context of the district. 39 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 0.2 Design Point Items A total of 20 points from the following design options must be obtained prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness. Vehicular Access (3 points) The use of alley access to the parking area, thus minimizing paving within front yards. This may necessitate the improvement of the public alley in order to provide a suitable access to the site. Paving Materials (0-3 points) The use of textured paving, such as stamped and colored concrete, exposed aggregate, brick, or cobbIestone patterns, to improve the appea'rance of paved areas and to designate pedestrian walkways. Side Setback (5 points) The provision of a side yard of 10 feet or more from both side lot lines, or an interior side lot line on a corner lot. Porches (O-lO points) The incorporation of a covered front porch (or porches, where appropriate) of an appropriate size and scale in areas where porches are prevalent on existing structures within the surrounding neighborhood. A front porch helps provide a transition between the public street and the private residential use of the interior of the building, and can help a building fit within an existing neighborhood by adding detail and interest to the facade of the building. Front porches must be covered by a roof that is compatible with the roof over the rest of the structure. The evaluation of a proposed porch must take into consideration its compatibility with the design of the proposed structure, its "usability", and its compatibility with other porches in the surrounding neighborhood. Building Height (5 points) The provision of a building height along the street elevation of 27 feet or [ess. Architectural Details (0-10 points) The provision of architectural details to add interest to building elevations visible from the public street, including but not limited to the following: Quoins, dentils, cornice moldings, brackets, arches, corner boards, keystones, decorative lintels and sills, double-hung windows, soldier courses, belt courses, bay windows, decorative site lighting and other decorative features as appropriate for the design of the overall building and materials being used. In awarding points under this guideline, the use of these elements must be reviewed in the context of the overall building design and the character of the historic district, and not simply based on the provision of these architectural details. (0-10 points) Building Base/Exposed Foundation (0-2 points) Incorporating a raised foundation or a "base" into the design of a new building. The utilization of a material that differs from the primary exterior building material at the base of the building, such as stone, brick of a different color or size than that used for the overall building, or other durable masonry material, can be used to give the appearance of a raised foundation. 40 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook Building I"late ria. ls The use of quality exterior building materials historically used within Iowa City's older neighborhoods is preferred. 1) Building materials will be evaluated as follows. All masonry (7-10 points) The use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as the exterior finish material for the entire building, with the exception of trim and decorative elements that may consist of alternative but compatible materials. The term masonry must not include concrete block or poured concrete materials, except when rusticated con- crete block or decorative concrete is used as a base or exposed foundation material. Predominantly masonry with stucco or wood (5-10 points) The use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as the primary exterior building material in combination with the less substantial use of stucco, wood, or fiber cement siding. Predominantly stucco or wood with masonry (3-8 points) The use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as a secondary exterior building material in combination with primary materials consisting of stucco, wood, or fiber cement materials as discussed below. All stucco or wood (3-7 points) The use of stucco or other similar material(s) that conveys a stucco appearance, or wood or fiber-cement products that are wood-like in appearance, as the exterior finish material for the entire building. Acceptable wood or fiber-cement products include shakes, shingles, or painted horizontal clapboard siding composed of three (3) to eight (8) inch wide boards. Predominantly masonry with stucco or vinyl (3-5 points) Vinyl or metal siding is not permitted on new buildings within historic districts. Within conservation districts, the use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as the primary exterior building material in combination with the less substantial use of vinyl or metal lap siding. Predominantly vinyl or metal with masonry (0-2 points) Vinyl or metal siding is not permitted on new buildings within historic districts. Within conservation districts, the use of brick, stone, or other masonry product(s) as a secondary exterior building material in combination with primary materials consisting of vinyl or metal lap siding in a clapboard pattern. 2) Materials or material combinations not listed above may be approved, provided that it is determined that the material will add interest to the facade of the building and that it is compatible with or similar in appearance to materials found on other buildings within the neighborhood. (0-5) 3) The following guidelines must be used to evaluate building designs that incorporate more than one exterior finish material: 41 Iowa Oity Historic Preservation Handbook I 1.0 Residential Architectural Styles of Iowa City The following is a guide to the most typical architectural styles found in Iowa City's historic and conservation districts. Building styles are characterized by the mass and proportions of the building, the style and placement of windows and doors (fenestration), and style of trim and other ornamentation. New construction in historic and conservation districts should reflect the size, proportions, fenestration, trim, and other ornamentation of a building style typical of that district. These guidelines will be used in evaluating new single-family houses and multi-family buildings. I I.I Italianate The Italianate building style emphasizes vedicality. Of- Examples ~ ten, Italianate buildings are two or three stories tall with ~ each story having a ceiling height of at least ten feet. a Plans are usually rectangular, T-shaped, or L-shaped. ~ Italianate roofs are most commonly gabled with a hipped < cornice return. The roof pitch is between 6/12 and 8/12, ~ Distinctive of this style is the decorative cornice with intri- cate brackets beneath a wide overhang. Windows are narrow and tall, and first and second story windows are typically aligned and evenly spaced. Italianate buildings .... often have decorative bay windows and paired narrow windows in lieu of a wider single window, Window andSimplerectangularltalianatehouse door openings are often arched with decorative "hoods" and sills, Italianate porches are ornate, with chamfered square columns and decorative balustrades. The balustrades may have turned or square members placed horizontally as well as vertically. A geometric pattern may also be cut from flat one-inch boards to form the balustrade. Italian- ate porches often have decorative friezes composed of spindles just below the eaves.

They have an asymmetrical building footprint with projections and intersecting masses in the roofs and walls. Roof pitches ' ' are at least 12/12 and roofs may be hipped and/or gabled in a variety of combinations. The gables are empha- sized with decorative wood shingles and ornate trim. Round turrets are common on the most elaborate Queen Anne houses. Facades frequently include a large pic- ture window, slightly taller than wide, surmounted by a fixed pane of ornamental glass. Queen Anne porches are ornate, with turned or round columns, porch rails, and turned spindles in a variety of Modest l-1/2-story Queen Anne house patterns. Porches are large and gracious, often wrap- ping around the house. Multi-family buildings in the Queen Anne style may ap- pear as a large elaborate house or as a series of simpler houses connected at the side walls to form a duplex or series of townhouses.

Shutter~ : None, 43 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook 1.3 Colonial Revival BuildiRgs designed iR the Colonial Revival style are dis-Examples tinctive for the formal, often symmetrical arrangement of the facade and plan. The plan is typically rectangular, though it may have rear or side wings. The simple side- gable roof has a pitch between 8/12 and 12/12 and fre- quently has small dormers that are symmetrically placed. Dutch Colonial Revival style houses have a gambrel roof with shed dormers at the front and rear of the house. Colonial Revival buildings have boxed eaves and they have a wide frieze board beneath the eave. More elabo- rate buildings will also have dentils at the frieze. Oma- mentation is limited to simple classical columns at the porch and shutters. The width of the two shutters at a window should equal the width of the window opening to Modest lq/2-story Colonial Revival house give the appearance that they are operable. Colonial Revival porches are small porticos. The fa- cade is arranged symmetrically with the portico and en- trance door at the center. However, large multi-family buildings may have a two-story porch. The porch roof is a simple gable supported by round classical columns. The columns should taper and each column should have a capital and base. Some Colonial Revival buildings have no porches, but will at least have an ornamental door surround with pilasters at the entry. Single-family houses are 1-1/2 stories to 2-1/2 stories in Dutch Colonial Revival house height. Multi-family buildings may be up to 3-1/2 stories. Building Materials E. derior Walls: Wood clapboard; wood wall shingles and brick are less common matedals~ Roof' Cedar shingles; asphalt shingles acceptable. Windows: Multi-family Colonial Revival building Divided-lights; main house windows are double-hung 6/1 or 6/6, sunporch may have divided-light casements. Doors: Panel doors with transom and/or sidelights. Entryway classically Irimmed with pediment and pilasters, Shutters: Typical - Iouvered or veCdcal board shutters. Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook I 1.4 Craftsman In Iowa City, Craftsman style houses are two stories withExamples a simple rectangular floor plan, Roof pitches are Iow, and range from 5/12 to 8/12 with 18 to 24 inch over- hangs, The soffits are open, leaving the rafter tails ex- posed, The siding material often changes between the first and second story. A wide band board or brick soldier course will delineate the change in materials. A water table and band board is located at the top of the founda- tion wall. Other ornamentation is relatively simple, with square wood brackets, upper sash divided-lights, and square porch columns. Craftsman porches may be small and only wide enough to provide a covered entry, or they may be the full width of Front-gabled Craftsman house with wall shingles the house Porch railings are typically wood panels, solid with siding on either side or brick, or they may have rails with square spindles. Porch ornamentation is similar to that on the main house. ::~. The Craftsman style has also been used for apartment buildings, though there are few examples of such build- ing in Iowa City. Craftsman apartment buildings are typi- cally 3-4 stories and have a symmetrical plan. They may be U-shaped or the entry may be centrally located and flanked by vertical bays. Apartment buildings are usually all brick, or brick and stucco. Side-gabled Craftsman house Building I~aterials Exterior Walls: Wood clapboard of varying widths, wood shingles, brick and stucco. Roof' Cedar shingles; asphalt shingles acceptable, Large Craftsman house Windows: Double-hung with divided-lights; typically 3/1 or 6/1. Doo~s: Panel orflush doors with lights in the upper 1/3. Shutters: None. 45 Iowa City Historic Preservation Ha ndbook 1.5 Craftsman Bungalow Bungalows are a subset of the Craftsman style. Although Examples the two styles display similar materials and ornamenta- tion, Bungalows are only one or 1-1/2 stories in height. The massing may be quite simple with a rectangular plan, or more complex with wall projects, bays and dor- mers, Like the Craftsman house, they have square cot umns, brackets, open eaves and a lower roof pitch There also tend to be more variations of the Bungalow porch. The porch roof will often be integrated with the main roof and may extend the entire width of the facade. Bungalows are used for single-family residences, though they may be connected at the side walls to form a duplex or series of townhouses, Simple Craftsman bungalow Side-gable brick Craftsman bungalow Building Materials Exterior Walls: Wood clapboard of varying widths, wood shingles, brick and stucco. Roof Cedar shingles; asphalt shingles acceptable. Windows: Front-gable duplex Craftsman bungalow Double-h ung with divided-lights; 3/1 or 6/1.

Shutters: None. 46 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook I 1.6 American Foursquare The American Foursquare style is typified by its cubical Examples mass and hipped roof. Roof pitches vary from 6/12 to 10/12. Often, the roof pitch at the eave will be less than the pitch of the main roof forming a "sweep" at the roof edge. Overhangs are often 24 inches or more with boxed-in soffits and a wide frieze board, Foursquare houses have hipped, wide attic dormers on one or more sides. Windows tend to have wider proportions than other styles, but they are still taller than they are wide. Although not always strictly symmetrical, the front facade is very regular, Ornamentation is typically simple and is usually expressed in the design of the porch. There may be two types of siding used, similar to a Craftsman house. Typical Amedcan Foursquare house Foursquare porches extend the entire width of the front facade and have a Iow-pitched hip rooL The porch may have two or three large, square columns on masonry piers to support the roof. Other Foursquare porches have Classic Revival style details with round tapered columns. The porch railing may be constructed of solid panels, rails with square spindles, or a solid wall covered with the siding material. The American Foursquare originated as a design for single family residences with four rooms on each of two floors, However, it may be adapted for multi-family build- ings, The square plan may be elongated or designed as Foursquare duplex two attached houses to form a duplex. Building Materials Exterior Walls: Wood clapboard of varying widths, wood shingles, brick and Asphalt shingles, cedar shingles, less commonly metal. ~ ~' ' ..... :"' W/ndows.

The Prairie School developed in the Midwest with Frank Lloyd Wright being its best known architect, in Iowa City, the Prairie School style may be combined with the American Four- square and Craftsman styles, Houses are characterized by hip roofs with pitches of 8/12 or less, and relatively simple rectangular massing, The eaves are deep to provide protection from the sun. The entrances may be located at the side of the house or porch. Large piers, often at the porch, are also characteristic of this style. Windows may be double-hung or casement. Commonly, Stucco Prairie School house with side enb'ance multiple tall windows will be installed side-by-side with a mullion between each window. Although several patterns of divided-lights are possible, a typical divided-light pat- tern is nine lights with the muntin bars located only four to six inches from the sash. This creates a large center light with small square lights at the corners. In the case of double-hung windows, only the top sash will have di- vided-lights, Buildings influenced by the Prairie School are often stucco or brick with wood or brick banding. If sided with wood, wide board and batten siding is often used in lieu of traditional clapboard. At the upper story window sills there is frequently wood or brick banding and a change Wood and stucco Prairie School house of materials above the banding. Although rare in Iowa City, apartment buildings influenced by the Prairie School are constructed of brick, stucco or a combination of the two with ornamental banding. The roofs may be flat or hipped as described above. En- trances are often from a small courtyard. Building Materials ExteriorWalls: Stucco, wood and bdck. Roof' Cedar shingles or asphalt. Double-hung or casement; "Prairie' or ver~cal dividedqights. Doors: Stucco and brick Prairie School apartment building Panel or flush doors with lights in the upper 1/3 or full-light. Shutters; None. 48 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook I 1.8 Period Revival Cottages and Houses Historic European architecture, such as Cotswold cot Examples rages, Tudor houses, French country houses, and Re- naissance manor houses, provide the precedent for Pe- riod Revival cottages and houses. The architectural char- acteristics of Period Revival buildings are based on the architectural style emulated. The modest, picturesque cottages of Howard Moffitt are most evocative of English Cotswold cottages. Other cottages, as well as fraternity houses, are commonly based on English Tudor archi- tecture. Period Revival cottages tend to have irregular plans, roof lines, and facades. Roof pitches vary from 8/12 to 16/12 or steeper. Houses with very steep gables are more evocative of Tudor cottages. The Pedod Revival style is Tudor Revival cottage distinctive more for the use of materials, massing and roofline than applied ornament. The cottages are usu- ally 1-1/2 stories in height and the roof may be gabled or hipped with small dormers interrupting the roofline. Most of the window openings are small, and sometimes arched and have wood shutters that appear to be operable. They often have a stone or brick chimney protruding from the exterior walt. Pedod Revival cottages typically do not have porches. They have a brick or stone front stoop and a small entry vestibule. Some cottages may have a simple bracketed Mo~co~ge canopy at the entry. Fraternity and sorority houses were typically constructed in the Period Revival style. Though significantly larger than cottages, the architectural characteristics of these houses are similar to those of the cottages described above. Building Materials Exterior Walls: Wood clapboard, wall shingles, bdck, stucco and stone. Roof' Cedar shingles; asphalt shingles acceptable. Windows.- Large Renaissance Revival house Double-hung or casement; small divided-lights. Doors: Panel or flush doors with small window. Shutters: May have shutters; must appear operable. 49 Iowa City Histo[ic Preservation Handbook 1.9 Vernacular Vernacular buildings tend to be relatively small in size,Examples reflecting the modest means of their early occupants. Their massing is often simple and they are one to Iwo stories in height. Many vernacular houses have no orna- mentation. Other houses have modest ornamentation that is a simplified design of whatever "high" style may have been popular at the time the house was built. The high style may also influence the massing, roof pitch, porch design and fenestration of the vernacular house, Vernacular house with Queen Anne influence Stone and clapboard vernacular house Building Materials Exterior Walls: Wood clapboard; fieldstone for very early houses. Roof' Vernacular apartment building with Period Revival Wood shingles or metal; asphalt shingles acceptable, influence Windows: Double-hung with or without divided-lights. Doors' Panel doors with or withoutlights. Shutters: Typically none. 50 Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook I 1.10 Eclectic Eclectic houses are characterized by the inclusion of Examples two or more different styles in the same building. Most frequently, these styles occurred during the same time period, or the eclectic house demonstrates the transition between two styles. Architectural characteristics of these houses may be influenced by two or more of the styles described previously in this section. However, for new construction, it is best to use only two styles in an Eclec- tic building with one style dominating, House with Queen Anne and'Four Squ~nflu~nce ~ Cottage with Pedod Revival and Craftsman influence Building Materials Building materials vary; depends on what styles are being used.
