This house was constructed 1947 and is classified as a noncontributing property. The addition includes a family room, kitchen and bedroom expansion as well as a screened porch and deck. Due to the addition, egress windows will need to be added to an existing bedroom on the east wall of the existing house. The existing double-hung windows do not comply with the requirements for code. The original drawings submitted by the contractor had a number of errors. Therefore, staff has provided some additional drawings to clarify the original drawings and intentions of the contractor. In addition, staff has recommended a second option for location of the screened porch and deck. The addition will be sided in fiber cement board. Applicable Guidelines: IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION 4.0 Iowa Citv Guidelines for Alterations 4.4 Mass & Roofline Oriainal roofline and mass · Preserving the original roof pitches and spans. · Disallowed: Substantially altering the roof pitch of a historic building on one or both sides of the roof to gain headroom below the rafters. 4.7 Windows Replacement Windows · Replacing a bedroom window, if required for egress by the Building Code, with a new one that matches the size, trim, use of divided-lights, and overall appearance of the previous bedroom window or other windows in the house. 4.10 Balusters and Handrails New balustrades and handrails · Installing turned balusters in balustrades that have an actual diameter of 2 inches or greater, or square spindles that are 1-1/2 inches or greater in width. · Installing top and foot rails that are at least 2 inches in thickness. These can be made with 3/4-inch and 5/4-inch lumber glued together. · On buildings where a spindled balustrade would be most consistent with the architectural style, spacing spindles so that the balustrade is at least 40% solid. Spindles must be spaced so that no gap between the spindles exceeds 4 inches as required by the building code. This is for child safety. · Sloping the top and foot rails slightly to allow water to be shed from these surfaces and help prevent deterioration of these members. Exception: New balustrades and handrails · On buildings where a spindled balustrade would be most consistent with the architectural style, spacing spindles so that the baiustrade is at least 30% solid 5.0 Iowa City Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Desian · Designing an addition so that it does not diminish the character of the historic structure. · Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. · Matching key horizontal "lines" on the existing building, such as water table, eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic structure. · Using a palette of materials that is similar to that used on the historic structure. · Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible. Additions at or near the front of an existing building must be set back at least 18 inches from the front plane of the historic building, and must be differentiated by a change in the roofline or other means. Foundations · Constructing an addition foundation that appears similar to the historic foundation in color, texture, unit size, and joint profile. Mass and Roofline · Constructing additions that are consistent with the massing and roofline of the historic building. This requires that the wall areas and corners, as well as the roof pitches and spans are all consistent with the existing building and have a proportion that is similar to that of the existing building. · Constructing the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the addition so that they match the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the existing building. Masonrv · When using masonry on an addition, using new masonry that appears similar in color, texture, unit size, and joint profile to the historic masonry. Wood · Constructing additions with materials that appear similar to the historic siding, trim, moldings, and other details of the original building. Windows · Using windows that are of a similar type, proportion and divided-light pattern as those in the original structure. Secretarv of the Interior's Standards 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize 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. Staff Comments: The guideiines require that the addition be distinguishable from the original structure and that the addition be set back at least 18" from the original structure. The applicant has proposed to set the addition back only 4", the width of the brick veneer. However, the addition will be fiber cement clapboard rather than brick and will therefore be clearly distinguishable. The plans for this addition, as illustrated in Option A and the original drawings, locate the screened porch between the two rear gable additions. This requires that the screened porch have a shed roof. In order for this roof to have an adequate slope for drainage, the contractor has proposed that it begin at the gable of the existing roof. This would alter the existing roof pitch. The ends of the shed would not be completely formed by the new gable roofs (see sketch of south elevation, option A). Given the slope of the property, the shed roof ends would not be highly visible. However, the guideiines disallow substantially altering the pitch of a historic roof. Staff has proposed Option 8, which moves the screened porch to the north gable. It would be accessed from the family room. A deck could still be construction in the location of the screened porch in Option A. The screened porch would also cover the box structure that is required for the fireplace. The sketches for Option 8 illustrate using a similar vertical siding treatment as is used on the original house. Staff does not feel this is criticai, but on the screened porch it does work well with the addition design. The deck and stair balusters must comply with the guidelines. The bedroom egress windows may be replaced with casement windows provided a faux checkrail is added to the exterior of the window to simulate the appearance of a double-hung window. The windows should not have any muntin bars. Recommendation: The application for a certificate of appropriateness to allow the construction on the east side of 741 Clark Street subject to the following: 1. The screened porch is located off of the family room as í/lustrated in Option B or if located between the gable additions, has a vel}' low pitch (flat), membrane roof; and 2. The addition is constructed of fiber cement board and 2 %,'-3" window and door trim, and corner and frieze boards; and 3. Accurate construction drawings are provided which indicate all materials required by the guidelines and design decisions of this review prior to issuance of a certificate of appropriateness. Said drawings must be reviewed and approved by the Chair and Staff. Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the exterior of historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 14.4C. Meeting schedule: The HPC meets the second Thursday of each month. During the summer months, the HPC may also meet on the fourth Thursday.

The applicant is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to allow the addition of a screened porch on the west side of the house. The screened porch will replicate the design of the front porch. Applicable Guidelines: IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR HISTORIC PRESERVATION 4.0 Iowa Citv Guidelines for Additions 4.1 Mass and Rooflines Not Recommended: Installing antennas, vents, solar collectors, skylights, or other mechanical devices on prominent street elevations. 5.0 Iowa Citv Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Desion · Designing an addition so that it does not diminish the character of the historic structure. · Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. · Matching key horizontal "lines" on the existing building, such as water table, eave height, window head height and band boards, in order to provide continuity between the addition and the historic structure. · Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible.

New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize 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. Staff Comments: The screened porch as proposed will be nearly identical in design to the front porch. The only concern regarding this design is that it may not be sufficiently distinguishable from the historic structure. Without significantly changing the design of the screened porch, it could be distinguished by using a veneer or stucco on the porch piers that is different from the existing foundation. A second minor alteration would be to eliminate the fluting in the porch columns. The proposal includes a skylight on the west side of the screened porch, which faces Gilbert Street. The house sits significantly above the street and the landscaping during the summer obscures the view of the elevation. However, to ensure that it is not visible during all seasons, staff recommends that it be moved to the north side of the roof. Recommendation: The application for a certificate of appropriateness to construct a screened porch on the west side of 404 Brown Street be approved provided: 1. The porch piers are distinguishable from the original foundation and/or the column fluting is eliminated; and 2. The skylight is located on the north side of the roof.

Address: PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This petition concerns an addition to our garage at 718 South Summit Street. It is a double garage to which a four foot extension had previously been added to north half of the garage at its east end. We do not propose to change the interior space of the garage as was done by the earlier addition. Rather we would extend the exterior south wall to conform to the exterior north wall of the garage, aligning the walls and roof to be extensions of the first addition without removing the existing south half of the east wall of the garage. It is our intention to use this added space as a garden shed accessible only from the outside at the south end by a regular "people" door. We would like to include a window in the "people" door to match the two existing windows on the south side of the garage. This window would necessarily be lower than the two existing windows due to the lower height of the wall on the extension. The distance between the end of the extension and the property line at the back of our property would be four feet. MATERIALS TO BE USED: We would use materials for the siding, roof and windows to match those of the original garage as was done with the first addition. APPEARANCE CHANGES: As the garage is presentiy constructed, the north half of its east wall projects four feet beyond the south side of this wall creating a notch at the back of the garage which this project would eliminate. The expansion of the extension would make the extension itself more visible along the south side of the garage, but it would make the overall structure more uniform. 7/8 5:5c-b1,rl;f-'ŠI' ~&rn. 1§,4¡?-46t!' dT ;7/5".$. ;5Þø/-H/T $?Réé/ - fi"SEG'Þ' PRo--4 þ,y¿- ~ 1 I !

Prior the applicant purchasing this property, a shed addition was added to the east side of the garage to extend one of the garage stalls. The applicant would like to add another shed addition in order to add more depth to the other garage stall. The new addition would be approximately 4 feet wide and 14 feet long and extend from the existing addition to the corner of the barn. 5.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ADDITIONS 5.1 EXDansion of Buildina FootDrint Recommended: Desiqn · Designing an addition so that it does not diminish the character of the historic structure. · Distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition. This may be accomplished easily by offsetting the walls of the addition from the walls of the original structure. · Using a palette of materials that is similar to that used on the historic structure. · Placing building additions at the rear of a property, if possible. Additions at or near the front of an existing building must be set back at least 18 inches from the front plane of the historic building, and must be differentiated by a change in the roofline or other means. Mass and Roofline · Constructing the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the addition so that they match the roof overhang, soffits and eaves of the existing building. Sidinq · Applying siding to a new addition that appears similar in size, shape, texture, and material to the existing siding on the historic building.. Wood · Constructing additions with materials that appear similar to the historic siding, trim, moldings, and other details of the original building. Paint and Color · Painting additions to match the existing historic building. Staff Comments: This addition will be located on the east side, which is not visible from the street. The addition would be consistent with the existing addition. To comply with the guidelines, the addition should be setback from the corner 18". Recommendation: The application for a certificate of appropriateness to add a 4 foot deep shed addition to match the existing shed addition to the barn be approved provided the addition is set back at least 18" from the corner of the barn. Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness The HPC meets the second Thursday of each month. During the summer months. the HPC may also meet,on the fourth Thursday.

The property is classified as noncontributing because it has been significantly altered on both the exterior. A large addition has been added on the rear of the house, the front porch enclosed and synthetic siding applied. The interior has also been completely gutted. When the addition was constructed, a second floor exterior door was added, but an exit stair was not constructed. The existing garage does not have a concrete floor and is ieaning to the north. It is accessed from the street as Ralston Creek runs behind the properties on this block where there would typically be an alley. Prior to modern flood management, the garage was periodically flooded when Ralston Creek exceeded its banks. This has contributed to the deteriorated condition of the base of the garage. The applicant has proposed to side the new garage with fiber cement board. A site illustrating the location of the new garage will be provided at the meeting. 4.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ALTERATIONS 4.10 Balustrades and Handrails. Recommended: New balustrades and handrails · Installing turned balusters in balustrades that have an actual diameter of 2 inches or greater, or square spindles that are 1-1/2 inches or greater in width. · Installing top and foot rails that are at least 2 inches in thickness. These can be made with 3/4-inch and 5/4-inch lumber glued together. · Sloping the top and foot rails slightly to allow water to be shed from these surfaces and help prevent deterioration of these members. Disallowed: New balustrades and handrails · Using unpainted treated wood for elements that would have been painted in the historic application. Exception: Historic District Noncontributing Conservation Districts All properlies New balustrades and handrails · On buildings where a spindled balustrade would be most consistent with the architectural style, spacing spindles so that the balustrade is at least 30% solid. 5.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ADDITIONS 5.2 Decks and Ramps Recommended: Decks · Locating a new deck on the back of a primary building, opposite the street-facing facade and set in from the side walls at least 8 inches. · Designing decks so that the size, scale and location do not detract from the character of the district's rear yards, if significant to the district. · Following the guidelines in section 4.10 Balustrades and Handrails. 6.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION 6.2 New Outbuildinos Recommended: Desian · Placing new outbuildings, including garages, to the rear of the primary building. · Constructing garages and other outbuildings that are clearly subordinate in size and ornamentation to the primary structure. · Constructing new outbuildings that reflect the style of the primary structure. Garaae doors · Installing garage doors that are simple in design. Smooth or simple panel-type garage doors may be used. · Adding trim around the garage door openings that matches the trim of other doors and windows on the building. · Installing single-car garage doors. Double-car garage doors are discouraged. 7.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR DEMOLITION (There are no guidelines that specifically address the demolition of historic garages) SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize 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. Staff Comments: The existing garage does have significant structural damage due to rot at its base. Given that the integrity of the primary structure has been significantly compromised and that the garage is not visible from a public alley, staff feels that demolition of the garage is acceptable. Staff has sketched three different garage elevations. The owners have requested a 24' x 24' garage with a 16' wide garage. Staff feels that the proportions of this garage appear too wide for the height in context to the neighborhood. Two single 9' doors staff feels would better fit the proportions of the 24' wide façade. If a single garage door is required by the owner, the width of the garage should be reduced to at least 22'. The guidelines allow the construction of decks behind a primary structure and set in from the corners at least 8 inches. The contractor has provided drawings of a standard deck from Menards. To comply with the guidelines, the baluster must have a traditional top and bottom rail. The deck must also be painted once the treated wood has dried. There are not specific guidelines for exterior stairs. Unlike the deck it will be highly visible from the street. However, given that the second floor exterior door already exists, staff feels it would be too onerous to require the stairs to be moved to the rear of the house. The stairs should comply with the same construction guidelines as the deck. Recommendation: The application for a certificate of appropriateness be approved for the following: 1. Demolition of the existing garage; and 2. Construction of a new two-car garage provided that if a single 16' garage door is used, the garage is no wider than 22'. If the garage is 24' wide, two single- car garage doors should be used. The garage should have traditional door and window trim, and corner and frieze boards; and 3. Construction of a new rear deck and second floor exist stair. The balusters and handrails should be constructed with a top and bottom rail per the attached drawing provided by staff. The newel posts should have a simple square or pyramid cap. All wood should be painted.

According to the Site Inventory Form. "The only exterior design elements remaining from the original construction appear to be the basement garage and the broad brick chimney on the end. New brick veneer and new siding, plus the addition of shutters have altered the appearance and impaired the integrity." After inspecting the house. staff feels that it has more integrity than stated in the survey. The most significant change to the appearance is the application of synthetic siding, shutters and a door and windows in the entry porch. It is likely that the porch did not originally have a door. The porch door is located on the east side. The porch is stuccoed to the head height of the fenestration with clapboard above. The owners have requested a certificate of appropriateness to allow the front door to be moved from the side of the entry porch to the front of the entry porch. The reason for this is to facilitate moving furniture in and out of the house and to create a more friendly entrance. The door opening will be filled with a clapboard wall to match the existing. New concrete steps with end walls will also be added. The owners would also like to enclose the east window with a clapboard wall and concrete stairs will be added. 4.0 IOWA CITY GUIDELINES FOR ALTERATIONS 4.7 Windows Recommended: New windows · Adding windows that match the type. proportions. trim, and appearance of the historic windows. The sash width must be similar to that of the original windows. · Adding new windows in a location that is consistent with the window pattern of the historic building or buildings of similar architectural style. · SECRETARY OF THE INTERiOR'S STANDARDS 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 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. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize 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. Staff Comments: The Iowa City Guidelines do not specifically address moving the location of an exterior door. The entrance porch is one of the only distinctive features of the house. Given that the primary façade of the house faces Center Avenue, it does appear odd the entrance faces 7'" Avenue. The porch design does appear to be influenced somewhat by the Prairie School with the tapered masonry piers. Side entries were common to this style. The porch has been enclosed which has resulted in an awkward detail at the door as the porch floor slopes south. However, the manner in which it has been enclosed has retained the transparent quality and spatial characteristics of the porch. If the door is moved. new stairs will be required. The applicant is proposing to install concrete stairs. Recommendation: Staff is undecided regarding this proposal, but feels that there are three scenarios to consider: 1. Leave the doorway to the porch where it is currently located and return it to an open structure without doors or windows. This would prevent the destruction of historic stucco. Having all fenestration open could help facilitate moving furniture and other large items, but would not provide the environmental advantages of having an enclosed vestibule. 2.

Descriptions A Conservation District is a geograahicallv cohesive area that is similar to a Historic District in character. However. because it has fewer properties that retain a high dearee of historic intearity or contribute to a distinct sense of time and alace. it does not currentlv aualify as a historic district. Because these areas are still considered worthv of arotection. the City Council mav desianate them for conservation. To aualify for desianation as a Conservation District, the subject area must contain abutting pieces of property l:IREler ElivefSe eWFlefSAi¡:¡, the built portions of which by majority are at least 50 years old, but according to a historic resources survey, 60% or less of the structures are of a quality, integrity and condition that qualify for Historic District designation. The properties within the subject area must also meet one of the following additional criteria: 1.

EMMA HARVAT HALL - CIVIC CENTER Draft MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Ponto, Amy Smothers, , Tim Weitzel MEMBERS ABSENT: James Enloe, Justine Zimmer, Paul Sueppel STAFF PRESENT: Shelley McCafferty OTHERS PRESENT: Doug Ducharm, Martha Kelch, Mike Brennan CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Maharry called the meeting to order at 7:04 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION: Historic Review: 1130 Sevmour Avenue. Martha Kelch of Shive-Hattery presented the proposed addition to Longfellow School. She stated that there were three reasons for the addition: 1. Need space for cafeteria table, 2. Provide vestibule into gymnasium; 3. Provide more inviting entrance to gymnasium. Kelch said that the addition will be an extension of the existing vestibule, which is not used. All new brick will be used. The design incorporates accent brick banding and foundation from the original building, pilasters and pre-cast door trim from the addition. Smothers said that this is an addition to the addition and that Shive-Hattery could have been more creative. She said you don't have to make it blend in with the addition and modern materials could have been used. Maharry asked if because the addition is over 50 years old is it considered historic. Weitzel said he felt that the gymnasium was not itself significant. McCafferty said that a contemporary addition would be acceptable under the Secretary of the Interior's Standards. Weitzel said he felt the proposed addition is acceptable. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for an addition to Longfellow School as proposed by Shive-Hattery. McCallum seconded the motion. Weitzel said that the Commission was not going to require that the design be changed. Smothers agreed and said this was a discussion about design theory. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. 1025 Oakland Avenue. McCafferty stated that the applicant is not present. In the past the applicant requested a COA to replace the front gable window with a new double-hung window of the same size, which was approved as a certificate of no material effect. This application is a request to replace the east or west gable window with a double-hung the same size as the front gable window for egress. This would make the window significantly taller and wider and the sill would no longer align with the fish scale siding. McCafferty said the applicant is willing to use a casement window of a size similar to the existing window with a simulated check rail, but also requested approval for the double-hung window. McCafferty recommended the casement window. Weitzel and McCallum agreed. Smothers said that the fish scale could be lowered so that it aligns with the sill of the taller double-hung window. Weitzel said that the frieze board could be extend as a band below the fish scale. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes July 22, 2004 Page 2 MOTION: Weitzel moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for 1025 Burlington Street to replace the east and/or west gable windows with a casement window of the same vertical dimension as the existing opening; or a double-hung window of the same dimension as the front gable window provided fish scale shingles are added to align with the sill of the new window or the frieze board Is extended across the gable with fish scales above. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6.(). 723 Oakland Avenue. McCafferty said that the applicant is requesting a certificate of appropriateness to add a handrail to the front and back stoops. McCafferty said she recommended black pipe hand railings but the applicant wanted something he felt would be more compatible with the architecture. McCafferty said after looking at other hand rails on the street she recommend the railing illustrated in the packet. She said the applicant found her recommendation acceptable. Gunn asked about the issue of waiting a year to paint pressure treated lumber. Weitzel said that because this type of lumber is not kiln dried it has a high moisture content. McCafferty said it will not hold paint until it has cured. McCafferty said she would check with HIS to see if there was anyway to enforce painting after a year, but was doubtful. The Commission agreed that they would have to have confidence that the homeowner would paint the handrail after it has cured. Ponto asked about the newel post cap. Weitzel recommended a flat or simple pyramid cap. MOTION: Weitzel moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness to construct wood handrails at the front and back stoop of 723 Oakland Avenue as proposed provided flat or simply pyramid newel post caps are used. Ponto seconded the motion. Maharry said he felt it complied with the guidelines and that it would be a nice addition. The motion carried on a vote of 6.(). Minutes: June 10. 2004. McCafferty said she listened to the tape of the meeting and changed the minutes regarding 728 Dearborn Street accordingly. MOTION: Weitzel moved to approve consideration of the June 10, 2004 minutes to the Commission's next meeting. Smothers seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Julv 8. 2004. Maharry asked if there were any concerns with these minutes. Weitzel said no. MOTION: McCallum moved to approve the July 8, 2004 minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission meeting, as amended. Gunn seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. INFORMATION AND DISCUSSION: Ponto asked about 728 Dearborn Street and whether they still required review for the fiberglass clad window. McCafferty said she had not heard from the applicant. Weitzel asked about a replacement for Paul Sueppel. McCafferty said she need a letter from Sueppel. Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District. McCafferty stated that a number of property owners in the commercially zoned area of the proposed National Register Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District have submitted letters of protest to the State. The primary reason for their concern is that they feel NRHP designation will lead to local historic district designation and regulation of their properties. However, under state code, NRHP registration is not required to designate a local historic district. McCafferty said that the Commission has the information necessary to substantiate that this area meets the criterian of state and local code for local designation. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes July 22, 2004 Page 3 Maharry said the reason for the open hearing on August 10 is that property owners feel they were not properly notified. Maharry said that at the hearing they could discuss the historic significance of the district and individual property. Weitzel asked if individual owners can request to have their property removed from the National Register district. McCafferty said that if more than 50% of the owner protest the designation by sending a notarized letter to SHPO, the nomination would not be listed on the NRHP. In this district there are 103 properties and 86 owners, therefore 44 owners would have to protest. If this happens, the nomination is still reviewed by SNRC and the National Park Service will make a determination of eligibility. However the district will not appear on the National Register. But if determined eligible for the NRHP, property owners in the district would still be able to use historic preservation tax credits. McCafferty said the public hearing will be held Tuesday, August 10 at 7:00. Brennan asked if the letter notifying property owners will state that the registration will not effect property owners. McCafferty said the notification will state what the NRHP does and does not do. Brennen asked if it would mention any adverse effects. McCafferty stated she was not aware of any law that results in an adverse effect. Brennen stated that 36 CFR 60 would adversely effect property. He said athough there are tax benefits, there are also tax penalties for demolition. Maharry said that may be a matter of interpretation and said they would provide the same information that has been provided in notification for other NRHP districts. Maharry said the purpose of the public hearing is to provide the public with information. McCafferty said she was not familiar with 36 CFR 60 and would look into it. She said she could refer property owners to the applicable code. Ponto said information provided should be balanced and fair. McCafferty said that all the objectors have property in the commercially zoned area. Gunn said it is likely that discussion will be focused on local designation. McCafferty agreed. She said that regardless of the facts provided by the City and SHPO, people who are opposed do not believe that this is not regulatory and not required for local designation. The reason for opposition is the fear that if it is listed on the NRHP it will also become a local historic district. One of the approaches to address their concern is to proceed with local designation immediately exclusive of the commercial properties. McCafferty said that given the character of Iowa City and issues with commercial property, commercial property owners are not at this time comfortable with local historic districts. The Commission discussed if the public hearing should include discussion of local designation. Maharry stated that the purpose of the public hearing is to determine NRHP eligibility and historic significance. Gunn said that what people are most concerned about is local designation. If the Commission isn't willing to discuss local designation they will be accused of not listening. McCafferty recommended that there be two items on the agenda. The first to determine NRHP eligibility and the second a neighborhood meeting, not the public hearing, about local designation. Gunn said that local designation is a long process that involves many meetings. During the meetings people ask questions, they get answers, there are arguments, thing changes. He said this is a democratic process. Gunn said there is a process with local designation that helps to sooth fears about the designation and that it is a good process. Smothers said that the message should be that the public is hear to define their own neighborhood. Listing an area on the NRHP archives the history of an area. The Commission discussed the impact that zoning has on the assessed and market value of property. McCallum stated an example of a fraternity in which the bank loaned the fraternity money for repairs based on the appraisal which determines the highest and best use of the property. In this case, the highest and best use was not a fraternity or rooming house, it was an apartment building. The bank will provide loans for highest and best use because in the event of foreclosure, they could recover the loan. Smothers stated that in Savannah banks are not allowed to deny loans to owners that intend to preserve their property; this is redlining. Gunn said that if local district zoning restricts commercial properties more than existing zoning than property owners will be upset and justifiably so. Gunn said this is a valuable argument and maybe these properties should be removed from a local district. The Commission must address this issue. McCafferty said that appraising historic buildings is difficult and many appraisers do not know how to place economic value on the intrinsic value of a historic building. She stated Carnegie Library is an Historic Preservation Commission Minutes July 22, 2004 Page 4 example of this. This building was not placed on' the National Register, but the outcry from the public prevented its demolish. Because it is historic, it is desirable. This is not reflected in an appraisal. Gunn asked if the properties in the commercial were nonhistoric. McCafferty said that only two of the properties are non historic. Gunn said that the issue is not alteration but demolition. If the property is historic it cannot be demolished if in a local historic district. Gunn said this is a real issues, owners have reason to be upset and the Commission must deal with it the best they can. Wietzel said there is an issue with owners wanting to sell to Mercy when they are done with their property. McCafferty said that until the commercial community have sufficient evidence that historic commercial properties are desirable because they contribute to a sense of place, the desirability of a community and the community's economy, there will not be support for commercial historic districts. McCafferty said that the case needs to be made that historic properties are economically beneficial to a community. Weitzel said there is ample evidence that in other communities this is true. Maharry said this is one of the charges of the Commission. McCafferty said there is ample opportunity in the Northside for development, such as the Pagiia's parking lot, City parking lot, gas station, etc. A vision of the redevelopment of the Northside Market Place that is integral to the preservation of historic properties needs to be presented. Weitzel said that in communities in the eastern US, when communities revitaiize their historic core, it brings people back to this part of the city. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:50 p.m. Minutes submitted by Shelley McCafferty s;{pcdJrninuteslhpcl2004lhpc07 -22-04.doc MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION AUGUST 10, 2004 - 7:00 P.M. EMMA HARVAT HALL - CIVIC CENTER Draft MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Gunn, Michael Maharry, Mark McCallum, Jim Ponto, Amy Smothers, Tim Weitzel, Justine Zimmer MEMBERS ABSENT: James Enloe STAFF PRESENT: Sarah Holecek, Shelley McCafferty OTHERS PRESENT: Marlys Svendsen, John Kammermeyer, Darlene Clausen, Dennis Mitchell, Walter Kopsa, Jill Gaulding, Marc Light, Sarah Buss, Julie McNalley, Paula Brandt, Mary Ellen Chudacek, Glen Winekauf, Mike Haverkamp, Helen Burford, Jeff Schabilion CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Maharry called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION: Elioibilitv of the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District for listina in the National Reaister of Historic Places. Public Hearing: Maharry introduced Marlys Svendsen as the architectural historian who researched the district. Svendsen said the process of getting this area on the National Register of Historic Places actually began nine years ago. She said the first surveying of the Linn Street area began in 1996, the next survey in the north side area began in 1997, and the surveying of the southern town plat was done in 1998-1999. Svendsen stated that the NRHP Multiple Property Document Form report was prepared in 2000. Svendsen said that in 2003 (something here about a certificate for a grant proposal to the State of Iowa and something about the Historic Preservation Commission qualified as CLGs). She said (something here about Iowa City qualified to prepare a grant and approved by the City Council in 2003). Svendsen said she was hired to research this district in September 2003, and on October 13, 2003, the first public information meeting was held regarding this area. She said that notice of the meeting was published in the Northside Neighborhood Association Newsletter. Svendsen said that in April 2004, the Historic Preservation Commission sent out letters to property owners in the neighborhood to notify owners that the Commission was considering nominating this area as a historic district. She said that neighbors were invited to a meeting held during preservation week in May. Svendsen said the meeting focused attention on the area, and she made a slide presentation at the meeting. Svendsen discussed what it means for a property to be listed on the National Register. She said the National Register was established in 1966 as a federal planning tool to help the federal government expend money and carry out its licensing function. Svendsen said the advantages of being listed on the National Register include the investment tax credit that gives a 20% tax credit on federal tax liability for rehabilitation of a historic building, a State tax credit program for rehabilitations of a substantial nature to National Register properties, and a State grant program. Svendsen said that owners of National Register properties are not required to open their buildings to the public. She stated that the federal government cannot tell owners of National Register properties what to do with their buildings, and in fact the buildings can be torn down the day after being listed. Svendsen said that, in a very limited way, a National Register property is protected from federal funding expenditures. She said there is no restriction on the sale or transfer of a National Register property. Svendsen added that there is no free money available to owners from the federal government. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 2 Svendsen said National Register listing does not directly affect property tax. She said that, based on studies that have been done nationally, neighborhoods that have a National Register designation tend to hold their value or increase slightly faster than the norm or average rate in a community. Svendsen discussed disadvantages of National Register listing. She said the listing does not affect how an owner uses, owns, or transfers a building or property. Svendsen said that in 30 years of working with owners, she has found that they have been pretty satisfied with the result. She said the designation has given owners tax advantages and a sense of pride and encourages general upkeep. Svendsen discussed the proposed Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District. She said research began on this project in 1998. She said she determined how the buildings or potential districts meet the National Register criteria. Svendsen said there were two criteria that applied to this district: Criterion A, which discusses the historic significance of properties and Criterion C, which concerns architectural significance. Svendsen said the next step was to establish an appropriate level of physical integrity for buildings - what kinds of changes are acceptable for a building to be considered contributing and what kind of changes would make a building non-contributing. She said the ideas for this district were laid out during the survey work in 1999. Svendsen said that all the buildings that are at least 50 years old, a requirement of the National Register, were identified. She said a period of significance during which important buildings were constructed and historic trends took place was established and was determined to be from 1840 to 1954. Svendsen said she did a census of the buildings, identifying every building as a primary or secondary structure. She said a designation of contributing or non-contributing was assigned based on age, appearance, original builders, architectural style, and vernacular building form. Svendsen said one of the things that is not looked at is building condition. She said that a building's condition is not sufficient to affect its National Register eligibility, unless the deterioration is significant enough to have destroyed its original integrity. Svendsen said the current use is not considered unless it affects its original integrity. She said that future plans for reuse are also not taken into consideration. Svendsen said that in the case of a historic district, she looks at parking lots and the location of non- contributing structures, with the goal being to have as few of those as possible. She said, however, that if they are located in the center, they must be included, as the district must consist of contiguous blocks. Svendsen said she likes to have at least 70% or more of the buildings in a district be contributing properties and have the district contain a high number of key structures. She said that in the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District, there are 143 primary and secondary buildings, of which 115 are contributing, and 52 of those 115 are key properties. Svendsen said a total of 28 properties, including just nine primary buildings, were determined to be non-contributing, so that the total number of non-contributing properties is less than 20%. She stated that the boundaries include, with one exception, only buildings that had original residential historic use. Svendsen said the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District was an irregular shaped neighborhood containing a mix of single-family and double houses, as originally constructed. She said original and early occupants included merchants, brewery workers, retired farmers, and widows, University workers, and brewery owners. Svendsen presented slides showing historic trends in the district. She said the first trend was the stone buildings constructed during the military road era. Svendsen discussed one of the next eras concerning buildings at the south end of the district as it relates to the operation of three breweries in the area. Svendsen said that at the turn of the century, the area took on a new look with the growth of the University and the construction of Mercy Hospital. She said that another facet of the district is evidenced by the pattern book houses and manufactured houses in the neighborhood. Svendsen said she would answer any questions that those in attendance might have. Maharry said that at the end of the discussion, the Commission would vote on the proposed boundaries for the National Register Historic District. He said the Commission would hold a public hearing for the national district and then later hold a public discussion regarding the local district. McCafferty said the Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 10, 2004 Page 3 Commission would determine if the national district, as prepared, meets the criteria for listing on the National Register. John Kammermever. 404 E. Bloominaton, said that he represents several commercial property owners, many of them with properties along North Gilbert Street. He said he understood that as of 4:30, the City Clerk had received 35 letters from property owners in the proposed district in opposition to the district and in opposition to listing on the National Register. Kammermeyer stated that there are two discrepancies between the map and the complete listing of the plan that was sent to Des Moines. He said that the buildings at 225 North Gilbert and 331 North Gilbert are shown as key properties on the local map but are not key properties on the national listing. Kammermeyer said that nine out of 11 of the commercial property owners are strongly opposed to having their properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the proposed Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District for several reasons. He said the process was flawed, in that no one in the commercial district had any notification of the plan last fall or winter and had no chance for input. Kammermeyer said the commercial owners are a small appendage of the entire proposed district, and removing the commercial area is a matter of fairness and would show the Commission to be responsive to the concerns of the vast majority of citizens in a small, distinct area. Kammermeyer said the commercial property owners have no particular interest in the grants and tax incentives. Kammermeyer said there is a recent historic precedent for excluding the commercial properties from the proposed district. He said that in the fall of 2002, commercial properties were removed from consideration by the Commission as part of the proposed College Hill Conservation District because of concerns regarding the impact of the district on commercial property and land values. Kammermeyer said that in a number of cases, the value of commercial properties may drop slightly after listing on the National Register. Kammermeyer stated that the most important reason to exclude the commercial area is the development of a health care core area around Mercy Hospital. He said that when he was on the Planning and Zoning Commission from 1976 to 1981, the Commission purposely created a commercial belt around Mercy Hospital to encourage development of a health care core area. Kammermeyer said the goal is to encourage development of medical offices and allied health care facilities in close proximity to Mercy Hospital and to encourage Mercy Hospital expansion. Kammermeyer said that Mercy Hospital is an extremely valuable asset to Southeast Iowa. He said that to impose any sort of historic preservation district along North Gilbert by Mercy would have a chilling effect on the continued development of the Mercy Health Care Core Area. Kammermeyer asked the Commission to remove the commercial properties on North Gilbert from the proposed district and listing on the National Register. He said that removal of the properties would be the most beneficial decision for all citizens of the Iowa City area. Kammermeyer presented the Commission with a list of the commercial property owners that he represents. Darlene Clausen. 505 E. Bloominaton, said she lives in a commercially zoned area, but her house has always been a residence. She said her only disappointment in this proposal is that this would not be a large enough district. Clausen said she would like to see the district extend all the way around Mercy Hospital to preserve the mix of residential and commercial uses that have been there since the beginning. Dennis Mitchell. 122 N. Linn St., said he represents H & G Development, a partnership that owns properties at 214 East Davenport and 420-422 North Linn Street. He requested that those properties not be included on the National Register or in a local district to the extent possible. Walter KODsa. 130 Ashwood Drive, said he owns properties at 320 and 324 Davenport Street. He said he assumed this is just a first step in creating a local historic district, which would impose restrictions on what can be done with the buildings. Maharry said that is correct, and the first step will be the next public hearing. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 4 McCafferty said the purpose of the informal discussion is to determine whether the Commission wants to pursue a local district. She added that listing on the National Register confirms that the area meets the criteria of the State Code for a local district, but the Commission is under no obligation to recommend it as a local district, nor does a local district have to correspond to the National Register. Kopsa asked if there has ever been a National Register district that has not been followed up by a local district. McCafferty said that in Iowa City, the districts all correspond at this time. She said that is unusual in Iowa. She said the ultimate decision would be in the form of a rezoning by the City Council. Kopsa said he is opposed to a National Register designation and a local historic district in this area. Zimmer asked Kopsa if he opposed the district because of the restrictions a local district would put on his ability to change his property. Kopsa said that is his primary reason for opposition. He said he has always maintained his properties. Kopsa said he pays his property taxes and would like to be left alone. Mollv Ravmer said she owns a property at 324 Church Street. She asked what the difference is between a key property and a contributing property. Svendsen stated that a key property has a level of integrity that is higher or the historic or architectural significance is greater. She said a key property might be eligible for the National Register as a property in its own right. Svendsen said a regular contributing property probably would not be eligible individually. She said there is a listing in the National Register nomination that contains a determination about every property, and McCafferty would distribute copies to those interested. Raymer asked what kind of restrictions there would be on maintenance of the buildings in the area. Svendsen said there are not restrictions on what can be done to a building in a National Register district. Raymer asked for examples of restrictions in a local district. McCafferty showed slides of acceptable changes in current districts. She said a local district is a rezoning process that is considered by the Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning and Zoning Commission, and the City Council. McCafferty said the reason for the long process is that local district designation does impose restrictions on what can be done to a property. McCafferty said that generally, anything that would affect the exterior of a property that would require a building permit would require the homeowner to go through a process called historic review. She said that for a major project, review by the entire Commission is required. McCafferty said that if the project does not affect the appearance of the property, the chair and staff can review the project and issue a certificate of no material effect. She stated that the review process typically takes two weeks. McCafferty said the two most controversial items are windows and siding. She said that within a historic district, windows cannot be replaced with vinyl windows, and vinyl siding cannot be applied to properties within a historic district. McCafferty said the Commission does not review paint color, shingles, or typical repairs not requiring a building permit. She said the guidelines are not intended to prevent routine maintenance of the property. McCafferty said the guidelines are intended to manage changes to historic properties to ensure that the changes are compatible with the character of the district. McCafferty said that some people are under the impression that the guidelines are intended to fix the neighborhood in time or that changes have to mimic the historic building itself, which can be more expensive. She showed four examples of additions. McCafferty said many people are unable to hire an architect or draftsman, so the Planning Department made a specific effort to hire someone with architectural expertise so that the planner can assist the owner in ensuring that the project meets the guidelines prior to going before the whole Commission. Regarding the guidelines, McCafferty said the guidelines for a historic district are more restrictive than for a conservation district. She added that most homeowners making substantial changes to their houses want to do a project in a way that is similar to the existing house. McCafferty said the project should be sympathetic to the structure but need not necessarily copy all of its details. She said that all the guidelines for alterations, new construction and demolition are available in the Historic Preservation Handbook, which is available on the City website or through the Planning Department. McCafferty said the guidelines mostly deal with more traditional approaches, but there is flexibility for more creative solutions. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 5 McCafferty said that since the Commission was established in 1986, the Commission has reviewed 198 projects. She said that of those reviews, three of them, 1.5%, were appealed to City Council, and all three were supported by City Council. Jill Gauldino. 225 E. Davencort, said that neighborhood homeowners are grateful that people have gone through this process to try to get this area on the National Register. She said she is very much in favor of the district. Gaulding said that for those who are opposed to the district, it might help to know that it is not her intent to keep property owners, particularly owners of commercial property, from doing what they want to their properties. She said the whole reason she lives in this neighborhood is that she likes the diverse neighborhood and likes the mix of residential and commerèial properties. She said she has nothing against people making smart use of those properties that are near Mercy. Gaulding said she hoped this could proceed in a cooperative spirit and that people will have some good faith that a district would not mean the end to all financially beneficial uses of these properties. She said she hoped the Commission would vote in favor of this. . Marc Lioht. 225 E. Davencort, said he believes strongly in having residents living downtown. He added that it is a big benefit for the businesses downtown. Light said one of the advantages is the historic buildings, and if people want a vibrant downtown, maintaining the historic nature of the residential areas is crucial. He said he supports this process. William Lake said he and his brother own a key property at 404-404 1/2 East Davenport. He said he is opposed to the National Register designation. He said he doesn't plan to do anything to the property, but the prohibitive costs to paint a property versus side a property, or whatever the case may be, should be the owner's decision. Lake said that some of the older buildings have to be painted much more often than newer properties. He said the owners should make the decisions about their buildings and no one else. Sarah Buss. 416 N. Linn, said she supports this proposal and said she is grateful for the hard work that has been done. She said she enjoys living in this neighborhood precisely because of the interesting mix of commercial and residential and families and students living there. Buss said there is a certain amount of fear that control over decision-making regarding how houses are changed will be taken out of the hands of those who should have it. She said citizens always have to get permits for various things in any case, so that as a community, we have agreed that thére are standards and limits. Buss said this all has to be in a context of what kinds of guidelines and what kinds of control should be imposed. Buss said that it would be beneficial to hear from some representative sampling of those who have gone through the process, including the people who appealed to City Council. She said that there is a degree of uneasiness about what the guidelines would mean, and that information would be helpful to those who are opposed to this proposal. McCafferty said that what the Commission will decide at the meeting is a determination of the eligibility of this district. She said that because the primary concern is restrictions and eventual local designation, the Commission chose to put on its agenda the opportunity to discuss local designation. McCafferty said this is only the first of several meetings at which a local designation will be discussed, if the Commission chooses to proceed with that. Maharry said that in April he began asking applicants, after the Commission had made its decision on their applications, to freely give their opinions about the process. He said that information is available in the minutes of the Commission's meeting. McCafferty said she is currently preparing a survey to send to those applicants who went through the process. Julie McNallev. 317 Fairchild St., said that she and her husband absolutely support this process and this designation. She said one of the things that comes to mind when thinking about this is all of the work that is going into the Peninsula right now to try to replicate the neighborhood she lives in. McNalley said it makes perfect sense to do what we can to preserve the existing neighborhood so that we don't have to Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 10,2004 Page 6 raze it and then try to rebuild it. She said it seems normal and natural to continue to support the North Side and its integrity, since it is the original version of the Peninsula Neighborhood. Paula Brandt. 824 N. Gilbert, said she walks through this neighborhood every day. She said she is supportive of this. Brandt said that historic districts, whether national or local, are gifts that the City gives to the residents and community of Iowa City. Brandt asked why Pagliai's Pizza was not in the district. Svendsen responded that the building is obviously individually eligible for the National Register and would be a key structure if it were in a historic district. She said that in this initial effort in looking at the North Side, the goal was to look at buildings that were originally constructed as residential properties, not commercial. Mike Brennan. 1207 Sevmour, asked if there was any follow up to his question at a previous meeting regarding potential adverse income tax consequences of National Register designation. McCafferty said she received an e-mail from the IRS' specialist in historic preservation. She stated that the provision Brennan questioned, Title 36 of the CFR 62.2C is an outdated National Park Service regulation that has not been amended to keep up with the Internal Revenue Code. McCafferty said the Internal Revenue Code will prevail, and the cited regulation is of no practical effect. Holecek said the provision is a National Park Service regulation that refers to tax code provisions that have not been updated. She said the updated tax code provisions have eviscerated any distinctions that were made by that particular regulation so that in effect, that regulation has been done away with. Brennan said that for some of the tax credits and benefits available, the treasury regulations talk about the functional equivalent of granting easements or restrictive covenants in order to receive the benefits of those tax credits, and those would be restrictions on property rights in order to get the tax benefits. Svendsen agreed that there are strings attached. She said the Internal Revenue Code establishes provisions for owners of National Register listed properties to grant a preservation easement or preservation covenant. Svendsen said the language in those covenants is very specific, and they generally relate almost exclusively to the exterior features of a building unless the building has important interior public space. Svendsen said that when that easement is granted, the owner of the property gets a tax benefit based on the value of the donation. She said that value is determined by subtracting the value of the property with the easement from the value of the property without the easement. Brennan asked if the local property assessment would be reduced accordingly with the value of the easement that has been lost. Svendsen said she could not answer because property tax values are based on what local municipalities choose to do, but she said she could not imagine that an owner could not sustain an appeal that would reduce the value of the property based on the granting of an easement. McCafferty added that under Iowa state law, counties can exempt properties from the increase in value from a substantial rehabilitation on a National Register property. She said the increase is not taxed for a period of four years, and the value is then increased until during the seventh year the owner would be paying taxes on the full assessed value. Svendsen said that one of the tests of that requirement is that the rehabilitation cost has to be an amount greater than or equal to the adjusted basis of the property. She said that may be more difficult in Iowa City than in other communities in the State. Marv Ellen Chudacek. 34 Bedford Court, said her family owns the property in the 200 block of Gilbert Street. She stated that a lot of these properties are not owner-occupied. Chudacek said she grew up in this area, but now that she is a landlord/owner, she is trying to maintain and upkeep the property. She said the idea of having more restrictions won't work. Chudacek said that a lot of the private landlords won't be able to maintain their properties because they won't be able to afford it. She said that by having a commercial property that she doesn't live in, the landlord can't afford to upkeep the property the way it should be if this passes. McCafferty stated that if this goes forward to the local ordinance process, property owners will receive notification of the public hearing and any meeting before the Historic Preservation Commission, as well as the Planning and Zoning Commission, and it will also be advertised in the paper. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 10,2004 Page 7 McCafferty said that she researched how many building permits were issued within the residential portion of this area that would have required historic review and also how many houses have vinyl siding or vinyl windows, which would also have required a permit in a district. She stated that in a 12-year period, considering 85 different properties, approximately 34 of the projects would have required review by the full Commission and about 20 more projects would most likely have received a certificate of no material effect and could have been approved by the Chair. Chudacek said she would not now need a permit to install vinyl siding and windows on her property, but she would if this were a district. McCafferty said a permit would be required for this in the future if this was designated a local district. Glen Winekauf said that he represents Mercy Hospital. He stated that Mercy Hospital is both directly and indirectly affected by the proposed Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District. Winekauf said it is directly affected to the extent that the boundaries of the district have been drawn to include the most western portion of Mercy Hospital's campus, involving property that is currently used as the emergency room parking lot. He said that the parking lot is considered a non-contributing property to the historic district. Winekauf said that Mercy Hospital is indirectly affected by the historic district to the extent that it incorporates properties that are immediately adjacent to Mercy Hospital's campus. He said that Mercy Hospital greatly respects the purpose and the mission of the Historic Preservation Commission and the community benefits that can be gained by preserving historic structures. Furthermore, Winekauf said that Mercy Hospital understands that Mercy Hospital's campus is located near a residential area, and Mercy Hospital wishes to be both a good neighbor and respectful to the historic structures. He said that Mercy also has a very important and critical community health care mission to perform and believes that being a good neighbor, respecting historic properties, and performing its community health care mission are not incompatible. Winekauf said that in the present circumstances, the boundaries of the proposed district incorporate principally residential zoning uses and a very limited number of commercial use properties. He said that a district crossing use boundaries might have been anticipated to have created different concerns among the different constituents. Winekauf said that while on one hand, including properties on the National Register would appear to be beneficial, on the other hand, it is a likely outcome that the federal district will become a local district, where benefits to some may become restrictions to others. Winekauf said that, unfortunately, the district incorporating both residential and commercial uses has resulted in a somewhat adversarial response, because the owners of the properties have different views as to the importance or the significance of the federal classification. He said that Mercy believes that it is awkward to place the owners of commercial properties and the owners of the residential properties in this situation. Winekauf suggested that the Commission consider drawing districts that do not cross over from residential to commercial uses, and in this instance, the Commission could have proposed two separate districts: one incorporating all of the residential properties and the second incorporating all of the commercial properties. He said that had that been done, the' residential owners and the commercial owners would not have taken sides but rather each of the districts could have been evaluated on its own merit by the owners having the same or similar permitted uses. Winekauf said that if in this instance the opposed district had been bifurcated into two, he suspected that the residential district may have been acceptable to a large majority of the residential owners and that the commercial district would not have been acceptable. Hé said that while at first glance it may appear that the purpose of historic preservation has not been served in the commercial area, this is not necessarily the case. Winekauf said that two of the key properties within the commercial area are already on the National Register and/or designated as local landmarks. He said this also would not preclude any individual property from being designated either nationally or locally. Winekauf said that Mercy Hospital's general position regarding its campus and surrounding commercially zoned properties is that it would like to avoid imposing any new restrictions that are not already inherent in the current zoning classification. He said the community is growing, and the demographics of the community are such that health care needs will continue to grow. Winekauf said therefore allowing maximum flexibility of use on Mercy's current campus is very critical. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 8 Winekauf said it has been a long-term objective of the commercial zone around Mercy to create not only an opportunity for goods and services to be provided within walking distance of the residential neighborhood but also to support the use of properties around Mercy for allied health care purposes. He said that imposing restrictions that could limit such use seems to be inconsistent with the broader community interests and the long-term planning for this area. Winekauf said Mercy wishes to be a good neighbor to the immediate surrounding commercial properties as well as to the broader neighborhood while fulfilling its important community responsibilities. He proposed that the historic district should not place one group of neighbors, for example the commercial property owners, against another group of neighbors, such as the residential owners. Brennan said it is incumbent on the historic preservation to look for solutions that are acceptable for all good neighbors. Mike HaverkamD. 109 N. Van Buren St., said his parents own the property at 619 North Linn Street. He said that as residents and business owners in the north end, his parents are delighted with the idea of a National Register district and strongly believe this is a good thing for the neighborhood. Haverkamp read from a book published by the Chamber of Commerce in 1926, Iowa City, Iowa's Ideal Home City "With its broad avenues, shady lawns, and attractive residences, Iowa City may be accurately characterized as a city of beautiful homes. Unlike many cities of its size, its fine residents are not merely confined to a few mansions but include hundreds of medium-sized houses of modern architecture and well-kept appearance. Rigid building restrictions prevent commercial enterprises from invading residential districts." Haverkamp said, considering the history of development, residential and commercial always go hand in glove. He said the Commission will face the hard decision in how to put that together, but he hoped that in taking a look at the history of the area as well as future needs, the Commission would come up with the right decision. Helen Burford. 604 Ronalds, said she lives in the north side but not in this district. She asked that when the Commission considers whether to proceed with the nomination for National Historic Register, it consider how important the cultural history is and how at this moment in time Iowa City is about to consider this area as being part of the cultural district of Iowa City. Burford said it seems that celebrating the history of the area, be it commercial or residential, is important, and having it on the National Register would only enhance Iowa City as a whole. Public hearing closed. Rezonina of the DroDosed Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District. or Dortions of the DroDosed district. for desianation as a local historic district. Public hearing: John Kammermever said that as a commercial property owner, he would be totally and unalterably opposed to any local district over his property, and he said there are eight other commercial property owners who feel the same way. Maharry said the boundaries for the local district would not have to be the same as those for the National Register district. He said the Commission would receive and consider all input from residents regarding desired inclusion or exclusion of their properties. Maharry asked Kammermeyer if one of his reasons for opposition was the possibility of devaluation of commercial property. Kammermeyer said that is the case even with the national designation. He said these commercial properties are pending redevelopment within the next five to ten years, when they will become possible office spaces or part of Mercy expansion. Kammermeyer said he has had offers from several sources to purchase his property. He said as soon as those sources heard there could be a National Register designation, the developers said they were no longer interested in the properties. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 9 Kammermeyer said he does not plan to make any changes to his property. He said his office site is not of any contributory value as far as he is concerned. He said it is a wood frame building with stucco siding. Kammermeyer said it has been seriously, radically altered since it was built. He said he does not want anyone interfering with what he can do with the property. Kammermeyer said that if the residential property owners would like to have their properties as part of a district, that would be fine with him, but the commercial property owners just want out. McCafferty said that City staff is currently working on rewriting the entire development code. She said that once that is complete, the City Council has directed staff to work on the Central District Plan, which would incorporate this older area of Iowa City. Kammermeyer said the commercial owners have been operating for 27 years on the basis that this is a medical health care core area and commercial office area for redevelopment. Maharry said that is a very important item for consideration with regard to the future of the north side. Ponto said that one option would be to draw the boundary along the zoning line between the commercial and residential areas. He said that key contributing structures to the south could always be considered for stand-alone landmark consideration. McCafferty showed a graphic relating the process of creating a local historic district. She said that the architectural surveys of the neighborhood and recommended districts are completed as necessary to substantiate that this meets state code, which has also been done. McCafferty said the rezoning process then begins. She said the maps and district guidelines have been prepared. McCafferty said that the Historic Preservation Commission will hold a public hearing, and there may also be public information meetings before the public hearing. She said the Commission votes to recommend to the Planning and Zoning Commission a particular district proposal. McCafferty said that property owners are notified by mail of the Historic Preservation Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. McCafferty said the Planning and Zoning Commission typically holds two meetings on this issue. She said if the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends this to the City Council, the City Council holds three meetings before the City Council votes to adopt this or reject the district. Gunn said that the last district that was passed was College Hill, and it took approximately nine months to do the local district. He said that during the process, changes were made to both the guidelines and the district outlines. Gunn said that process tends to ease a lot of concerns about what a district is and what the restrictions are. Gunn said the National Register nomination comes as a bit of a surprise to some people, but it does not contain the regulations. He said he sees the National Register nomination as something that does not produce any harm but is only beneficial. Gunn said he was therefore never concerned about the commercial property being included in that. Gunn said that as a local district, however, there is a significant difference when it comes to the regulations. He said there is a very legitimate concern about what could happen in a local district, but he can separate it pretty clearly from a national district. Gunn said there is a long process to get to a local district, and at the end of that process, then some authority is given to the Historic Preservation Commission, but not until the end of that process. He said the Commission hasn't even really started that process yet. Gunn said that for the local district, the concerns generally fall away as the meetings and changes proceed. Maharry said he would like to discuss recommending the district without including the commercial areas. He said there is not support locally from the commercial owners for a district in that area, and the Commission needs to be responsive to that. Weitzel said he agreed but said the Commission needs to decide what it will do with key properties. He said the Commission has the responsibility to make sure it isn't losing valuable historic resources. Weitzel said it is important to point out that the National Register nomination was not an attempt to push through a local district. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 10 Chudacek said, regarding the key properties in the commercial area, that in the half block where the Foxhead is located there are four buildings on three lots, and two of those buildings are non-conforming. She said it can only remain that building as long as the current business owner runs the business. Chudacek said that when the current owner stops owning the business, the building will have to be torn down, because it is too small of a building to be anything according to zoning. Holecek said, with regard to non-conforming uses, they do not attach to a particular person. She said it goes with the use so that the use could survive the person or be conveyed to another person to continue to operate that use. Brennan asked if there was any overlap between the proposed district and the north side district that was proposed 15-20 years ago. Svendsen said that in the early 1980s an analysis was done and a National Register proposal was done for a much larger area than this. She said that since then, based on the comprehensive historic preservation plan approved in 1991 by the Historic Preservation Commission, the whole area was resurveyed. Svendsen said it was determined that there are historic districts within the North Side, but it would be better to approach them based on more consistent and cohesive historic trends and building qualities. Brennan suggested that a comparison be done on the overlapping areas to see how the area has changed in the last 20 years to see what resources have been lost and what resources have been gained. Public hearing closed. Svendsen said that the Commission has the purview to comment for submission to the State on anything in the 38-page document. McCafferty said the Commission is making a recommendation to the State, and the chief elected official also makes a recommendation. She said the State mayor may not agree with the recommendations. McCafferty said that if both the chief elected official and the Commission were to recommend that this is ineligible, then the nomination would not proceed to the State unless someone within the district would appeal that decision. She said then it would proceed to the State, and if the State Review Committee recommended the proposal, the State would then send it on to the National Park Service for its opinion and potential listing. Weitzel said, clerical errors aside, the proposal is a professionally prepared document. He said Svendsen is a professional and is trained to do this. Weitzel stated that this is as close to a scientific document, when it comes to history, that one can get. Gunn asked about the number of owners who have opposed the district in writing, as far as the State process is concerned. McCafferty said she did not have updated numbers because letters to the Commission and the City Council were still coming in late today, and she had not had up-to-date contact from the State regarding its numbers. She said that any protests sent to the State have to be notarized, and at last count, the State had 14 to 15 notarized letters of protest. McCafferty said what is required is 51 %, and by her count, there are 80 different property owners, and 41 letters of protest would be required. Gunn stated that historic preservation isn't very well served if this district fails to get National Register listing. He asked what the likelihood of that is at this point. McCafferty said the City has received 35 un-notarized letters. She said that if the State receives letters of protest from 51 % of the property owners, the State Review Committee would proceed with reviewing this to determine whether it is eligible for the National Register. McCafferty said if the State decides to recommend this to the National Park Service, the State requests from the National Park Service a determination of eligibility. She said that if the National Park Service determines the area is eligible, all of the tax credits and benefits would be available to the property owners within the district; however, the district would not actually be listed with the keeper of the National Register. Svendsen said, however, that the requirements for receiving investment tax credits require that within 30 months of completing the tax credit project, the building has to be listed on the National Register. She said that if the property has the status of a contributing structure but not a key structure, the chances of getting the building listed are not high. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 11 Maharry said the other variable is, if there were some reassurances about areas that will not be considered in a local district, whether those people would send notarized letters to the State. He said it appears that local control of design review is the concern, and if there is a certain number of properties where there is concentrated opposition and those people are assured that their properties would not be in a iocal district, perhaps the next step of sending the letters to the State would not happen. Kammermeyer said the nine commercial property owners oppose both National Register listing and local designation. Gunn asked Svendsen how to weigh two possible outcomes: 1) the Commission cuts out the commercially zoned properties for the National Register listing and in all likelihood it passes or 2) to have it go forward and the State receives enough notarized opposition that the district will not be listed. Svendsen said there are other possibilities but said that the State Nominations Review Committee (SNRC) is on record as having approved the boundaries as proposed. She said that SNRC looked at all the information provided in the nomination and reviewed it and found the nomination eligible. Svendsen said the State staff examined the boundaries and added that a number of them have lived in Iowa City and are familiar with the area. Svendsen said that SNRC was persuaded that this is an eligible district by the National Register nomination. She said that if SNRC receives a nomination with different boundaries, she recommends that the Commission articulates in its recommendation what it is about those boundary changes that would better serve National Register criteria and requirements. Svendsen said that SNRC will say, despite local concerns, that issues of use, alteration, and design review are to be handled by a separate ordinance known as a local preservation district designation process. Svendsen said there are always factors that go into this. She said Kammermeyer is correct in that there are many potential buyers who see the phrase National Register and have a response that may not be consistent with the facts. Svendsen stated that if this is submitted with boundary amendments, SNRC will look at the logic behind the reasons, and if there are reasons that are related to National Register criteria, then the Commission should go forward. She added that the National Register process is a federal program, and that is why the notification process is administered by the federal agent, which in this case is the State Historic Preservation Office, which is housed in the State Historical Society in Iowa. Svendsen said the first time owners get legal notification is from the State, which is what happened in this case. Svendsen said that if the Commission does not want to offer a reason for boundary changes, that would be its prerogative, but she did not know what the result would be. McCafferty said that if the Commission and the Mayor are undecided about this, the proposal will proceed as is. Maharry asked, if there is consideration for drawing the line at the alley between Bloomington and Davenport, is there is a way to do that which is consistent with National Register standards. He suggested that the Mercy Hospital parking lot at 230 Gilbert Street be eliminated from the district. Svendsen said the justification could be made for removal of the parking lot in that the surface of the street would keep the district contiguous. Weitzel said there is also the reason that there is not a structure there. McCallum said some of the Commission members are looking for compromise. He said the Commission has a history of accommodating the concerns of the commercial property owners on the local level. McCallum said he believes the concern about the National Register designation is misunderstood. Svendsen said she was unaware of the upcoming planning process for the Central District. She said there was always an understanding that the buildings constructed for commercial purposes should be dealt with in a different fashion, because there is a different dynamic to their significance. Svendsen said one possible compromise would be to adjust the boundaries and state that although the Commission believes there may be eligibility for an area south of that particular alley, because community planning is going on for that area right now and the potential is there for evaluating an area adjacent to that area for National Register eligibility at a future date, the Commission would like to draw the boundary in a slightly further northern location and study the area to the south and make a recommendation about that area at some future point. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August10,2004 Page 12 Svendsen pointed out, however, that there is a property owner in that area that fully supports designation, and right now that owner stands to have his property designated and receive an approximately $2,500 value, which would be the cost of preparation for individual nomination for the building. She said that would be the Conrad-Graff house, and it would be individually eligible for the National Register. Svendsen said that property owner could move to appeal to the State any decision to sever that area from the district, as could any property owner in that district. Maharry asked if it would be possible to consider incentives for commercial property owners whose properties are individually eligible for National Register listing to have the costs of such listing covered by the City. Smothers said she would have a problem with changing the boundary and cutting off the southern end, as there would be key, contributing buildings that are part of this context off by themselves. Weitzel said that all but two of the properties are contributing and almost all of them are key. MOTION: Zimmer moved to recommend to the State the approval of the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and the document as prepared by Svendsen for submission to the State, subject to the correction of typographical errors and removal of the parking lot at 230 North Gilbert from the district. Smothers seconded the motion. McCallum said he was looking for more of a compromise, and he would therefore not support the motion. Zimmer suggested making any compromises in the local district. McCallum said he has seen that happen based on prior experience. He said the State still has the authority to send this on as it was originally proposed anyway. Weitzel said he believes the Commission has an obligation to the property owners who stand to not only lose the fee to register their properties individually but also would lose the tax incentives for rehabilitation if their properties are not listed. Zimmer agreed and said she did not think the proper education regarding the tax incentives is out there, especialiy for commercial properties. She said she would like to have the time to present that to people and said that just being on the National Register allows that discussion to take place and the possibilities to exist. Maharry said he would oppose the motion, because he would like to see Svendsen's proposal considered. Maharry said that if there is really going to be a discussion about the Central Business District and its future use and future use around Mercy Hospital, then the Commission does not need to act as hastily. He said that if that future use determines that there is indeed an area for a national district at that time, then the Commission can certainly make a proposal to extend the district. Gunn said he would oppose the motion on the table. He stated that if and when the local designation is done, he does not think the commercial properties will be included. Gunn said he thinks they will not be saved from destruction if the owners choose to sell them or tear them town. He said there is some calculated risk to getting the rest of the district in place. Gunn said he would like to move forward with Svendsen's suggestion. He said there is a lot of property that definitely should be protected and the majority of people want it protected, so the Commission should make sure that happens. Ponto said he opposes the current motion. Weitzel said he also opposed the motion. The motion failed on a vote of 2-5. with Smothers and Zimmer votina ves. MOTION: Weitzel moved to recommend to the State the approval of the Gilbert-Linn Street Historic District for listing in the National Register of Historic Places with the modification that properties south of a boundary of the alley between Davenport and Bloomington Streets at the 300 block on either side of Gilbert Street be excluded, with the understanding that this area is under further study and that the Commission will attempt to compensate through grants or other sources those property owners who would like individual listing and subject to the correction of typographical errors in the document to be submitted to the State. McCallum seconded the motion. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 10,2004 Page 13 McCafferty said this motion would exclude only the commercially zoned properties. Maharry said this seems to be a favorable outcome, as long as the Commission tries as hard as possible to incentivize those who wish to have their individual structures nominated. The motion carried on a vote of 5-2. with Smothers and Zimmer voting no. CONSIDERATION OF A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS: 431 Rundell Street. McCafferty said that there are not specific guidelines for this unusual project so that the Commission must look to the Secretary of the Interior Standards. She read from guideline number nine: "New additions, exterior alterations or related new construction will not destroy historic materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale, and proportion and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment." McCafferty read from guideline number ten, "New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment will be unimpaired." McCafferty showed some slide photographs of the property. She stated that this is a stone Moffitt house. McCafferty said the house is quite obscured from the street. McCafferty showed a walkway to the rear of the property. She said that the entire back of the property is new construction. McCafferty showed where the new wall would be located, saying that the wall would not be attached to the structure. She said the proposal is to use salvaged ashlar stone and limestone as well as a number of salvaged cut stone pieces. Jeff Schabilion. 431 Rundell Street, said he was available to answer questions. Gunn asked Schabilion if he had spoken with the Building Department. Schabilion said he had not yet proceeded to the Building Department, as he was waiting for the okay from the Commission and for the engineer's drawings. He said he did not need a special exception for this project. Schabilion said there are two elements involved with this project. He said one element is a 44-foot long fence that cannot exceed eight feet and runs along the property line. Schabilion said the other element is the accessory structures that cannot touch the fence and are allowed to be 15 feet high. He added that the doors will be made of cedar and will not be functioning doors. Schabilion said the neighbors are aware of the plans and are supportive of the project. McCafferty said in her opinion this project complies with the two criteria from the Secretary of the Interior's guidelines. She said the back of the property has been substantially altered so that there is no issue with loss of integrity. MOTION: Gunn moved to approve the application for the project at 431 Rundell Street, as presented. Weitzel seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Maharry asked Schabilion for his perspective on the application process. Schabilion said it has not been a problem for him. He said getting a building permit and following the aspects of the building and zoning codes are much more difficult. Schabilion said this is part of the process one assumes in becoming part of the district, so he had no problem with it. He added that McCafferty has been very helpful. Maharry asked if there were extra costs for Schabilion to go through the process. Schabilion said that, technically, the $500 for the architect was an additional cost that he would not have incurred had he not wanted to make a good presentation to the Commission. He said he probably could have gotten along without the architect's work but is glad to have it and is not objecting in any way. 724 Clark Street. McCafferty said the application is incomplete and should be deferred. MOTION: Weitzel moved to defer consideration of a certificate of appropriateness for a project at 724 Clark Street. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion to defer carried on a vote of 7-0. Historic Preservation Commission Minutes August 10, 2004 Page 14 CONSIDERATION OF THE JULY 22.2004 MEETING MINUTES: MOTION: Weitzel moved to defer consideration of the July 22, 2004 Historic Preservation Commission meeting minutes to the next meeting. McCallum seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7- º. OTHER: Maharry said the City Council has directed the Commission to proceed with the RonaJds Street extension of the Brown Street District and the Jefferson Street District. He said he would like to begin question and answer sessions for these two districts, and the Commission could discuss those two districts at its next meeting. The consensus of the Commission was to hold a second August meeting on the fourth Thursday in August.
