ONGFFLLO~ ' $EYMC)UR AVE Moffitt Cottage Historic District Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission February, 1995 Preservation MEMORANDUM Date: February 1 O, 1995 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Douglas S. Russell, Chair, Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Moffitt Cottage Historic District The Historic Preservation Commission is proposing the designation of a fourth Iowa City historic district. The new district would consist of the five stone cottages located between Muscatine Avenue and Ralston Creek, north of Court Street, all of which were designed and built by Howard Moffitt in 1939 and 1940. Attached please find a copy of the staff report prepared for the public hea~ ing that was held before the Historic Preservation Commission on January 26, 1995. The report explains the justification for establishing the proposed historic district. Prior to the January 26 public hearing, a neighborhood meeting was held and each property owner was contacted by mail about the possibility of establishing an Iowa City historic district in this location. Three of the five property owners responded favorably, and no negative responses were received. As part of the process for establishing a local historic district, a report from both the Historic Preservation Commission and the Planning and Zoning Commission must be submitted to City Council, which must then approve or deny the ordinance establishing the district. The Historic Preservation Commission requests a favorable review from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The proposal will then move on to City Council, who we hope will take the appropriate action to establish the Moffitt Cottage Historic District as the fourth Iowa City historic district. Discussion of this matter will be on the agenda for your February 16, 1995, meeting. If you have any questions or need more information before then, please feel free to contact me at 351-5610, or Scott Kugler, the Cornmission's staff person, at 356-5243. Attachment City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: January 19, 1995 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Scott Kugle ,~ssociate Planner Re: Proposed Moffitt Cottage Historic District 'rite Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in May of 1993. The National Register District contains the five stone cottages located at 1322 through 1330 Muscatine Avenue. The Cotmission is now proposing to create an Iowa City historic district consisting of the same five cottages. A copy of the National Register nomination form is attached, and should provide justification for the establishment of the Moffitt Cottage Historic District as an Iowa City historic district. Tbe five stone cottages were designed and built by Howard Moffitt in 1939 and 1940, and are single- family, one or one-and-one-half story, stone-veneered English cottage style buildings. No two cottages are alike in basic house shape, roof line, or window placement, but all have a similar scale and are finished in limestone rubble, and all have massive stone fireplace chimneys, attached or integrated garages, and front windows are prominent features of each structure. As a district, the five buildings present a picturesque visual appearance, and are representative of the English cottage style rental houses being built by Moffitt around 1940. From the mid 1920s through the early 1940s, Moffitt constructed between 100 and 200 small homes in Iowa City, many located in the same general area as the five stone cottages. He was known for his creativity and frugality, regularly using salvaged materials irt the construction of the small homes. The buildings within the proposed district contain portions of street car rails as support beams, and possibly stone from the Second Ward Elementary School, demolished in 1940. The five stone cottages are representative of the unique designs and construction techniques used by Moffitt in Iowa City and Coralville. The Historic Preservation Plan, as part of the Comprehensive Plan of Iowa City, suggests that the five Moffitt cottages under discussion be protected as local historic landmarks. However, there is not yet a provision which permits the Commission to designate historic landmarks. Rather, historic districts are the only means of protecting the city's historic resources at this time. The designation of an Iowa City historic district would provide similar protection, and would meet the intent of this provision of the Preservation Plan. In fact, the five buildings as a district provide a more complete picture of Howard Moffitt and his role iu the architectural history of Iowa City than any of them individually. Having already been nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, it bas already been shown that the stone cottages exhibit integrity of design, workmanship, materials, association and setting, and, in staff's opinion, would be appropriate for designation as an Iowa City historic district.

Moffitt City and Coralville, Iowa (MPD~) in Iowa Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottaqe Historic District 7. DESCRIFTION a. Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District: The group of five buildings in 'the 1300 block of Muscatine Avenue is composed of single-family, one or one-and-a-half story, stone-veneered buildings with Period House stylistic forms and details in the English cottage variation. Buildings in the group were constructed in 1939 and 1940. No two cottages are alike in basic house shape, roof line, or window placement, but all have a similar scale and are finished in limestone rubble, either laid in irregular courses or completely uncoursed. Additionally, all have massive stone fireplace chimneys, attached or integrated garages, and front windows (generally ~x6 or 8x8 sash) are prominent features of each structure. The cottages are situated close to each other with very little front or back yard and present a picturesque visual appearance. Tied together through their shared stone cladding, the cotraged exhibit for the observant passerby a variety of masonry techniques much like the display case of a merchant. What at first glance appears to be a random collection of odd sized stones, is a~%ually quite logically organized. One house is covered with the smallest pieces of limestone; another uses uniformly larger and more angular pieces; in yet another a strong rhythm is set up between narrow, elongated stones and larger, squarish pieces. Taken as a whole, the five buildisgs as a district have more to say about Howard Moffitt and the architectural heritage of Iowa City than any of them individually. Garages on four of the five cottages appear to have been converted to interior living space, however only one such garage is visually altered with the addition of windows. Other garage doors have been maintained in their original state. Four of the five buildings are well maintained and in good repair, and three of the those have front yards which ha~e been landscaped to enhance the picturesque cottage appearance. Dormers have been added and the original overhang above one cottage front door has been replaced with a somewhat larger, but equally odd, overhang. These alterations do not detract from the overall integrity of the district because they are consistent with the character of the individual buildings and are not substantial when viewed in relation to the other four buildings. The neighborhood surrounding the district has changed little since the cottages were built. One oC the few small neighborhood grocery stores still operates across the street. Traffic past the cottages' front doors always has been relatively heavy at this site since it has been on the bus line and is at the ~ntersection of two main streets, one of which is a former highway route through town.

Hoffitt in Iowa e lon number7... Page.. 2 Muscatine Avenue Hoffitt Cottage Historic District b, Contributing Buildings: i. 1330 Muscatine Avenue: This building was constructed in either 1939 (Phil Hiller) or 1940 (City Assessor) on the smallest triangular lot nearest the intersection of East Court Street, Muscatine Avenue and Ralston Creek. It has a one-and-one-half story, rectangular, gable-end main mass from which a smaller one-story gable-end wing telescopes to the southeast. The end wall of this wing contains a massive stone fireplace chimney. Another stone chimney appears on the roof at the point of division between the integrated garage, on the northeast end of the structure, and interior space. Walls at the front, side and part of the rear of the house are clad with light brown uncut fieldstone, interspersed with dark brown stone, randomly laid. The front pntrance is flanked by stone buttresses. Wide wooden siding covers the garage end of the structure. Wood shingles cover the vertical southeast wall of the gable end above the juncture with the wing. A red asphalt roof covers the entire structure. Windows are 6 oSer 6 sash. The south east corner of the house contains a corner window consisting of two sash windows separated by a squared wood post or pier (seen also in 1324 and 1328 Muscatine Avenue), Wide header boards appear over the front windows in the stone walls. The garage door is a pair of hinged louvered panels which open outward, although the garage has been converted to interior living space. It has a small shed addition in the rear which is unobtrusive. Additional yard space has been graveled to provide additional parking. City Directories indicate this property was owner-occupied for many years, but is now a rental house again. Despite the need for general maintenance, the building is intact and has retained its integrity. ii. 1328 Muscatine Avenue: Built in 1939 (Phil Miller; City Assessor), this one-and-one-half story, gable-end building is square in appearance and dominated by a large front gable, containing a fixed window with 42 individual glass panes. The front entrance is found on one side'of this ~able, an integrated garage to the other side. The eaves of the roof extend out to cover the garage and front entrance openings. The roof is covered with brown asphalt shingles and the ridge ends look as if they once flared upward, a common Moffitt detail. A massive stone chimney is located on the front slope of the house to the southeast of the front gable, apparently at the interior wall between garage and living space. The southwest corner contains a corner window with 6 over 6 sash windows. A tiny one-story rear wing appears original. All sides of this building are clad with beige and darker brown limestone rubble, randomly placed. The individual stones are of a fairly uniform size and are more angular, with more nearly 90 degree corners. The wooden garage door has been filled with windows evidencing conversion to interior living space. These windows are not sympathetic to the design of the house. A window-type which keeps the garage door appearance while allowing light into the interior would be more appropriate. Other than the garage door, this house is intact and moderately well maintained. It has United $tatea Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Hlstoric Places Continuatlon Sheet T: e .omes in City and Coralville.

It was built in 1940 (Phil Miller, City Assessor). Eight over eight front windows flank a central entrance, making. a symmetrical facade. Header boards over these windows are wide and have angled ends. Large, flat stones are used as sills. A tail stone fireplace and chimney extend from the southeast side of the house just in front of the garage wing, Limestone rubble covering this cottage's walls is quite small relative to its neighbors, flat, and imbedded in recessed mortar to form open' joints with deep shadows. Size and shape of each individual stone were so carefully regulated that once laid an irregular course pattern results. The appearance is not unlike naturally occurring layers of limestone exposed in river bend cliffs and highway cutbahks. The front wall is flared near the ground to give the appearance of solid, stacked atone walls. The roof is covered with green asphalt singles. Alterations to this building include dormers on the roof and a replacement--necessitated by a fire some years ago-- of a shingled cone-shaped form overhanging the front entrance. The cone form is odd and larger than .the equally odd looking original overhang. The garage has been converted to interior living space without altering its exterior appearance. The yard is surrounded by a picket fence and shrubs. Despite the alterations, which are sympathetic to the overall design and character of the house and district, integrity for this well-maintained house is good. It is owner-occupied. iv. 1324 Muscatine Avenue: This rectangular one-and-one-half story house was built in 1939 (City Assessor) or 1940 (Phil Miller), It haaa steeply pitched, hipped roof which extends to the southea§t side to form the garage roof and in front to form an extension where the front door is found. The roof is covered with gray asphalt shingles. A hipped~roof, shingled dormer with a small, asymmetrically placed, three-over-one window is placed in the center of the sloping front roof. At the corner near the front entrance is a corner window (6 over 6 sash) supported by the same large squared post and. wide header boarda as in 1324 and 1328 Muscatige Avenue. A stone chimney is located in the roof to the north or left of the dormer. The limestone rubble for this structure is light and dark brown and gray mortar was used. Stone is uncoursed and randomly laid. The wooden garage door appears to be operational. The stone path to the front door may be original. No alterations in this building were observed. This intact and well maintained cottage exhibits the best degree of integrity in the district. It is not owner occupied but has been a rental property for most of the last nearly fifty years. v. 1322 Muscatine Avenue: The predominant feature of this simple one-story rectangular building, which was built in 1940 (Phil Miller, City Unltod Statea Department of the Interior National Park Service . ational Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet The Small Homes of Howard. w. Hoffitt in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa (MPDF) $eCt[01 7,8 number Page 4 Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District Assessor), is its massive, rounded roof, intended to remind the passerby of thatch. The thatch image is enhanced by a covering of cedar shingles, randomly laid and of varying length aad size. Competing for prominence is an enormous stone fireplace chimney, with newer tile chimney pots, centered in the middle of the front wall. This chimney stack is flanked by a double 6.-over-6 sash window to the northwest, and the front entrance and another window to the southeast. The roof line extends far down the sides of the structure, beyond the tops of the side windows. The garage occupies a rear corner of the house and has long been converted to interior space, without impacting the visual appearance of the structure. The stonework on this cottage exhibits some interesting variations which distinguish it from its neighbors. While the other four structures are covered with pale beige and darker brown limestone,' this cottage is covered with a medium to dark gray limestone in gray mortar. A prior owner, Phil Miller, feels this stone may have come from the Second Ward Elementary School, demolished in 1940. Using long narrow pieces and wide squarish pieces, the rubble is'carefully coursed to form a pattern, best seen in the chimney stack. The narrow pieces are at times vertically aligned, then horizontally, and are alternated with the squarish stones so that a rhythm develops. This careful placement deteriorates around the corners and becomes uncoursed rubble towards the rear of the structure. This structure is largely intact although a number of replacements or repairs have occurred due to normal deterioration; small areas of the roof have been re-shingled with similar materials, some of the lower sashes have been replaced with like re-placements and small rear windows have been replaced with a larger window. The window replacement does not impact the appearance of the district, however because of its placement at the rear of the structure. A concrete pad immediately adjacent to the front of the house was poured at some time, and the front yard, graveled for parking for years while the house was a rental, has been returned to gra.~s and flowers, with a picket fence. This well maintained, owner-occupied cottage has retained a high de~ree of integrity of materials, workmanship, and design. c.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The five stone cottages located in the 1300 block of Muscatine Avenue form a district which is locally significant under Criterion C as an excellent example of the rental houses designed and built by Howard F. Moffitt during 1939 and 1940 in a popular Period House style intended to evoke an image of a vernacular, hand-built, cottage of the English or European countryside. Faced with limestone rubble collected from local outcroppings, these houses were United States Department of the Interlot National Perk Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet The Small Homes of Howard ~. Moffitt in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa 8,9,10_ 5 Section number ' ~aga...~_~_. Muscatine Avenue Moffitt Cottage Historic District built with some salvaged materials and two houses remain rental units, all characteristic of Moffitt's buildin~ practices. Their location on a busy street marks them as the archetypal "Moffitt houses," as that phrase is locally used. As a cluster of buildings, these stone cottages exhibit a high degree of integrity of design, workmanship, and materials and an outstanding degree of integrity of association and setting. The district's location at a busy intersection of two main Iowa City streets makes these cottages perhaps the best known and mpst visible of all the Moffitt houses. Thousands of Iowa Citians, permanent residents and transient students and faculty--only in town for four years of college or until a new teaching position is secured--have passed by these Moffitt houses. They are as imbedded in the memories of passersby as their limestone rocks ate imbedded in the mortar. All the distinctive Moffitt elements--the construction methods, the scavenged materials, the picturesque house form, the ornamentation--come together in this cluster of five houses. Their setting, on small strips of a triangular pidce of lm~d formed by the angled confluence of Ralston Creek and ~uscatine Avenue, has remained unchanged since they were built; their neighborhood also has remained largely unchanged. That there five cottages in a row is typical of Moffitt's practice of clustering rental hou%es together. These five buildings are excellent examples of the type of housing Moffitt built in Iowa City and Coralville, Iowa. BIBLIOGRAPHY Iowa City City Directories.

Regarding the City of Iowa City's proposed designation of the Moffitt Cottage Historic District, the State has reviewed the nomination and found it to be satisfactory. The proposed local district meets the criteria for districts whose significance is primarily amhitectural as spelled out in the Code of Iowa. The proposed district's boundaries am exactly the same as those of the district as listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Iowa City has complied with Code of Iowa procedures as well as their ordinance in the designation process. The nomination contains a clear statement of significance and clearly identifies the properties within the district as well as district boundaries. We recorm-nend that the city proceed with the local district designation as proposed. If Iowa City designates the above referenced district, the City will need to submit a copy of the ordinance designating the district to the State. In addition, we encourage you to take steps to insure that the Recorder of Deeds is informed of the designated status of contributing properties as well as current property owners. Ideally, each property owner and/or occupant of a contributing property within the district should be informed of the benefits and responsibilities of owning a National Register and locally designated property; should be provided a copy of the National Register or local nomination: and should receive an explanation of the design review process. 402 Iowa Avenue Iowa City, Iowa 52240 (319) 335-3916 Capitol Complex Des Ivloines, Iowa 50319 {515) 281-5111 [] Montauk Box 372 Clermoat, Iowa 52135 (319) 423-7173 -2- Iowa City and its historic preservation commission are commended for their continuing effort to preserve the City's historic resources. ~~ c~erely, ~ lph C~istian Architectural Historian Kerry C.

SECTION IV. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordi- nance shall be in effect after its final passage, approval and publication, as provided by the law. Passed and approved this MAYOR ATTEST: CITY CLERK City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: March 2, 1995 To: From: Planning and Zoning Commission Melody Rockwell, Assocate Planner Re: Access Requirements for Neighborhood Centers In the Iowa City Zoning Chapter, NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER is defined as "a use owned and operated by a nonprofit organization, as defined by Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, providing a place for social services, such as child care, supervised recreation, counseling referral for children and adults and/or suppod groups for children and adults. Such services should be intenaed primarily, though not exclusively, for those persons living with a mile radius of the center." In certain residential zones, neighborhood centers are permitted if additional regulations, as specified in Zoning Chapter Section 14-6L-1M, are met: 1. Neighborhood centers shaft be located with access to aderial or collector streets. All centers engaged in child care shall meet the requirements of subsection D of this Section. [additional regulations for child care facilities, involving fencing, outdoor play area, interior floor area and State requirements] The hours of operation of neighborhood centers and outdoor activities on the site shall be limited to from seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. to ten o'clock (10:00) p.m. Screening shall be provided between any parking areas abutting residential uses which require four (4) or fewer parking spaces, in accordance with Section 14- 6S-11 of this Chapter. As noted above, when the additional regulations apply, neighborhood center access is restricted to arterial or collector streets. Staff recently received a request from the City Community Development Division and the Board of Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County to amend the access requirements to permit access on local streets. The Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County are proposing to build a neighborhood center in the Pheasant Ridge area with access on Roberts Road, a local street. The proposed neighborhood center site is a corner lot that also has frontage on Bartelt Road, a collector street. However, the topography of the site, the curved configuration of the intersection of Robeds Road and Barreit Road, and the existence of underground utilities along the BadeIt Road frontage are factors that work as restrictions against providing access for the neighborhood center on Barreit Road. Centered in a neighborhood of apadments and condominiums, the location of the proposed Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center favors pedestrian access. Further, locating access on the local street should not prove disruptive to the surrounding, predominantly multi-family residential neighborhood. However, because a Zoning Chapter text amendment is applied on a community-wide basis, an ordinance change needs to be evaluated on its own medts. Its general application needs to be reviewed in addition to the particular circumstances that precipitated the request. As a basis for its review, staff first considered the zones where neighborhood centers are currently allowed and under what constraints: 2 Neighborhood centers are not permitted in lower density residential zones [RR-1, RS~5 and RS-8], or commercial and industrial zones. In the medium density residential zones [RS-12, RNC-12, RFBH and RM-12], neighborhood centers are permitted only by special exception and must meet the additional regulations cited above. In the RM-20 and RNC-20 zones, neighborhood centers are permitted as provisional uses; provided the four additional regulations of Section 14-6L-1M are met. Neighborhood centers are permitted uses in the RM-44 and PRM zones; no additional regulations are applied. Staff recommends that the access restriction for neighborhood centers be eliminated. With the emphasis of neighborhood centers to serve walk-in clients, who reside in the surrounding residential neighborhood, the access restriction appears to be an unwarranted additional regulation. Neighborhood centers are not permitted in lower density residential zones, where concern about undue traffic on local streets is greatest. In the medium density residential zones, additional scrutiny is provided by the Board of Adjustment. In reviewing special exception requests, the Board weighs the impact of a proposed use on adjacent properties, including potential traffic generation and conflicts. Traffic generated by a neighborhood center can be more readily accommodated in the more densely populated zones. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Code Section 14-6L-1M1, the additional regulation restricting access for neighborhood centers to aderial and collector streets, be repealed.

Letter of support from Judith Solecki, resident, Pheasant Ridge Apartments ppdadmin~access. mmo Approved by: Robert Miklo, Senior Planner Department of Planning and Community Development February 14, 1995 CITY OF I0 WA CITY Tom Scott, Chairman and Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Tom: The Community Development Division is asking for expedited consideration of the request from the Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County to amend the Zoning Ordinance to permit neighborhood centers which do not access a collector or arterial street. Current code requirements would prohibit construction of a proposed neighborhood center on Roberts Road, which is a local street. In March 1994 the Committee on Community Needs (CCN) allocated M50,000 in 1994 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to be used to construct a new neighborhood center for the Pheasant Ridge neighborhood. These funds should be expended by June 30, 1995, thereby creating the urgency for your consideration of the request. Currently Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County operates a limited neighborhood center out of a two-bedroom apartment within the Pheasant Ridge apartment complex. This current facility at Pheasant Ridge is totally inadequate to serve the 248 surrounding apartments, 231 of which are subsidized through the Federal Section 8 program for very low income families. While the center is open to neighborhood families other than those residing at Pheasant Ridge, in practice over 95% of the users are tenants of Pheasant Ridge, most of whom walk to the center, and Neighborhood Centers expect this usage to continue. It is therefore reasonable to expect relatively little additional traffic in the Pheasant Ridge complex and particularly on Roberts Road as a result of the new neighborhood center. Local road standards should be adequate. If you have any questions regarding the project, please feel free to call me at 356-5244. Yours sincerely, Marianne Milkman Community Development Coordinator Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County P.O. Box 2794 Iowa City, IA 52244 (319) 354-7989 February 22, 1995 Mr. Bob Miklo Senior Planner, City of 410 E. Washington St. Iowa C~ty, IA 52240 Iowa City Dear Mr. Miklo: I am writing to request an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. The Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County (NCJC) is planning to build a center on Roberts Road, a local street. The amendment is required because this type of facility must access either a collector or arterial street. The Board would like to break ground in May 1995 and so we need your prompt cooperation. The timing is also important because we have received $150,000 in CDBG funds to build the site, which must be expended by July 1, 1995. As you may know, the NCJC has been providing neighborhood based services for over twenty years while operating out of a three-bedroom apartment at Pheasant Ridge. The owners have provided us this space, but it is woefully inadequate. The complex contains 248 apartments, of which 231 are subsidized by the federal government through the Section 8 program. With the additional space we hope that we do not have to deny services to anyone. Our current programs, which include tutoring and parenting, will be expanded to include day care. The NCJC mission is to provide these supportive and preventive services in a neighborhood. We believe nearly every one whom we will serve lives in the Pheasant Ridge complex. Therefore, we anticipate that most people will walk to the center, and that there should be very little increase in traffic. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at 351-6570. Thank you'for your consideration.
