Historic Review for 20 E. Market Street
District: N/ A
Classification: Iowa City Historic Landmark
The applicant, Old Brick Episcopal Corporation, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration
project at 20 East Mark Street. Known as the Old Brick Church the building is a Local Historic
Landmark. The applicant is proposing the replacement of the wood louvered panels in the church's
bell tower with fiberglass louvers to match the appearance of the original and the replacement of the
wood windows located on the southeast corner ~ower level) with a fixed glass opening.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.3 Wood
4.7 Windows
Staff Comments
Built in c.1856 the church building is one of the oldest buildings in Iowa City. It was built in the
Romanesque style and features a centrally located projecting entryway culminating into a bell tower
with flat roof and castellations. The applicant is proposing to install wireless antennae inside the bell
tower of the church and to facilitate an obstruction-free transmission of the wireless signals, the
applicant is proposing to replace the existing wood panels of the louvers on the bell tower with
panels of louvers made of fiberglass (an RF-transparent material) with the appearance-size, prof1le,
and color-to match the original.
The applicant is also proposing to replace a wood window located on the on the lower level, on the
southeast corner with a fixed panel window to match the appearance of the original window (one-
over-one double hung). The applicant is proposing to preserve the original louvers and the original
wood window for future use.
The project is generally consistent with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of
Historic Properties and staff believes that the alterations would not have an adverse effect on the
historic structure. The project has been reviewed by the State Historical Society of Iowa Office (per
federal permit requirements) and concurs with staff opinion.

Historic Review for 752 Dearborn Street
District: Dearborn Street Conservation District
Classification: Contributing
The applicant, Heidi Lauritzen, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 752
Dearborn, which is a contributing property in the Dearborn Street Conservation District. The
applicant is proposing to remove the enclosed portion of the porch and install new insect screens
with new wood framing.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4,9 Porches
4,10 Balustrades and Handrails
Staff Comments
This Bungalow Style house was built in c. 1926 and features a large side gable roof with deep eaves
open and bracketed purlins, and a wide shed dormer. The applicant is proposing to replace the
existing louvered glass windows that the enclose porch, with a simple frame and screens. Because
the existing knee wall (which acts as a guard railing) on the porch is shorter than 36 inches-
building code required minimum height for a guard rail-the applicant is proposing to build-up the
existing wall with plane wood members.
Applicant's proposal to remove non-historic porch enclosures is one of the treatments for
restoration recommended in the guidelines. Staff recommends approval.

Historic Review for 1112 E. Court Street
District: Longfellow Historic District
Classification: Contributing
The applicants, John and Kristen Rummelhart, are requesting approval for a proposed demolition at 1112 East Court
Street. The property is listed as a contributing property in the Longfellow Historic District. The applicants intend to
remove an original brick chimney on the house.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.12 Chimneys;
Staff Comments
This house was built in 1914 with the influence of Prairie style within the Late 19th/Early 20th Century American
architectural style,
Currently there are two chimneys on the house, and both are original. The chimney on the northeast portion of the
house serves the kitchen. It is more utilitarian and simple in terms of decorative features than the fireplace chimney
on the west fa<;ade. The applicants indicate that the removal is necessary for kitchen remodeling,
The guidelines recommend preserving the historic chimney and particularly disallow removal of prominent and
character defining chimneys,
Although it is part of the original design, staff believes that, because the chimney is not a prominent or a character-
defining feature of the house, removal of the chimney would not compromise the integrity of the historic house,
Staff recommends approval.

Historic Review for 718 N. Johnson Street
District: Brown Street Historic District
Classification: Contributing
The applicant, Susan Shullaw, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 718 North Johnson
Street, which is a contributing property in the Brown Street Historic District. The applicant is proposing to
replace an existing basement window with a new egress-sized double-hung window with a window well of a
size required by the building code. The applicant is proposing to use a metal-exterior window with simulated
divided-lites.
The proposed project would also include relocation of an existing set of wood steps for a wood deck
located on the back of the house.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.1 Foundations
4.7 Windows
Staff Comments
Originally built in c. 1912 this modest bungalow features craftsman details such as deep open eaves, exposed
rafters and purlins, The house is appears to be generally intact except for the enclosed front porch.
The window replacement is being proposed to create additional habitable space in the basement. The
window is located near the northeast corner of the house and thus not highly visible from the street. The
existing window is a three-lite awning style basement window. The proposed window is a three-over-one
double-hung window with the same width as the existing window but several feet taller. The additional
height will be below ground.
A metal-exterior window, as seen in the attached manufacturer's specification sheet, is essentially a metal
window-hollow core exterior sash made of extruded metal with a nominal wood interior. Staff believes
that this window is not consistent with the guidelines.
The Commission has previously approved the use of a fiberglass window in an instance where a window
was being installed in a basement with recurrent moisture problems. Staff recommends that the applicant
should consider wood or appropriate metal-clad solid-wood windows for replacement. The Commission
may also consider the option of approving a (solid-wood) fiberglass exterior window as the window is being
installed in a basement and will not be highly visible from the street.
The applicant is proposing to use a window well made of polyethylene. The guidelines state that if new
window wells are required, the materials must appear similar to the existing foundation material. Staff
recommends that the window well be constructed of masonry or poured concrete, and considering that the
window would not be highly visible only the top potion of the well (12 to 16 inches) and any potion above
grade should match the appearance of the existing foundation.
Because the existing steps for the deck descend very close to the existing window, the applicant is proposing
to either relocate the steps to the north side of the deck or eliminate them, If the steps are relocated such
that they are within 6 feet from the window well, it is required to install guardrails around the window well.

Staff Report
April 12, 2007
Conservation District Review for 828 Washington Street
District: College Hill Conservation District
Classification: Vacant
The applicant, Alpha Chi Omega Sorority - Sigma Chapter, is requesting approval of a new sorority house to
replace the former house on this property that was severely damaged in the April 2006 tornado, The
Commission approved the demolition of the damaged building at an earlier meeting. In addition to the
residential building a two level parking structure is proposed on the north side of the property, The parking
structure is necessary to meet the parking requirements of the zoning code (the previous house was
nonconforming regarding parking),
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
Design Guidelines fro Multi-Family Buildings
The Design Guidelines contain mandatory requirements for new multi-family buildings. Applicable sections are
discussed below, In addition to the guidelines contained in the Preservation Handbook, the zoning code
contains multi-family site development standards that address issues such as parking, sidewalks, setbacks and
lighting, The staff design review committee will review the plan for compliance with these zoning requirements,
Front Setback
As required by the guidelines the setbacks are consistent with the other buildings on Washington Street and
Governor Street within this block.
Lighting
The plan does not include information regarding exterior lighting, The guidelines require lighting to be designed
to provide for safety yet be non-obtrusive to neighboring properties, The zoning code also contains lighting
requirements that must be met. Staff would recommend that the approval be subject to staff approval of the
lighting plan,
Parking/ Garage
The guidelines specify that parking areas be located behind the building and/ or screened from the adjacent
properties and the street with a landscape hedge. The proposed plan complies with this requirement. From
Governor Street the upper parking deck will appear as if it were a surface parking lot. It will not protrude
beyond the front wall of the house, A landscape bed with bushes and hedges will screen the parking area along
the north and east sides. The location of the drive makes it impossible to completely screen the east side,
When the property is viewed from Washington Street the residential building will screen most of the parking
structure from view, The southwest comer of parking deck will extend approximately 30 feet beyond the west
wall of the house so it will be visible from Washington Street. This will be mitigated because the parking
structure will be setback approximately 90 feet from the street. It is proposed to have a stone veneer and will be
screened with evergreen trees, The entrance to the parking is perpendicular to the street as required.
Building Orientation and Pedestrian Access
Per the guidelines the proposed building orientation is toward Washington Street. Features including an
archway, transom and double doors emphasize the main entry, Sidewalks will lead form Washington Street to
the main entrance,
Balconies /Decks
No balconies are proposed, A deck is proposed on the roof of a lower level room on the west side of the
house. The guidelines indicate that decks should be integrated into the overall design of the building, The deck
will appear to be an extension of porch located on the front of the house.
Building Height/Mass
The guidelines indicate that measures should be incorporated into new buildings to reduce the "visual mass"
and overall height. The proposed design addresses visual mass by placing much of the third floor rooms above
the eave line. Significant variations in the roofline and the front building plane help to reduce the scale of the
building along the street.
Due to the severe grade change of this property, the west side of the proposed building appears to be three and
a half to four stories above grade while much of the Washington Street side and the Governor Street side appear
to be two and a half to three stories in height. Building height is measured as the average height above grade to
the midpoint of the roof. Based on this, the height of the turret will exceed the 35 foot height limit. The
applicant has applied to the Building Official for a minor modification for a 3.5 foot increase in height to allow
the roof of the turret as shown in the elevation drawing (the zoning code's minor modification provision allows
the Building Official to grant a height increase of up to 10% if site conditions warrant). The applicant has
indicated that they may seek a variance from the Board of Adjustment to allow a steeper roof pitch for the
turret. This is also illustrated on the elevation drawing, The applicant is seeking Commission approval of both
alternatives. The "variance" alternative does not appear to meet the legal tests for a variance as required by the
zoning code, For purposes of the Certificate of Appropriateness, the Commission may consider both
alternatives, but it should be understood neither alternative may be built without approval of the Building
Official, or in the case of the variance, by the Board of Adjustment.

Rooflines should reflect the predominant roof type, scale and pitch of existing buildings with the neighborhood,
There are a variety of roof lines in this neighborhood. Most have a pitch between 6:12 and 8:12 and many have
street facing gables, The roofline appears to be compatible with the other roofs in the area,
Building Modulation
The guidelines state that street side elevations should be varied so that no continuous wall plane or surface
exceeds 35 feet in length, Variations in wall plane should be accompanied by corresponding changes in the
roofline, The plan meets this - none of the street side building planes exceed 35 feet and variations in the
roofline accompany the changes in wall plane.
Window /Penestration
The window/fenestration and door pattern, scale and design should be consistent with those found on other
properties in the neighborhood. In this regard, the proposal for this building is most similar to the Phi Beta Phi
Sorority house located across the street at 815 Washington Street. The architect also used the previous house
on this property for cues regarding window design and placement.
Architectural Style
According to the guidelines design elements form existing architectural styles found on contributing structures
within the district must be incorporated into new buildings, As noted above, the architect used the previous
building on this property for cues for the design of the proposed house, The design also has a craftsman style
influence,
Design Point Items
In addition to meeting the mandatory requirements discussed above multi-family buildings must also achieve a
minimum of 20 points from the design options contained in the guidelines, It appears that these points can be
achieved from the Porch (0 to 10 points), Architectural Details (0 tolD points) and Building Materials -
predominantly masonry (5-10 points).
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval subject to staff approval of the lighting plan and approval of a height increase for
the roof of the turret by either a minor modification or a variance, whichever is applicable.

Project description:
This house replaces the former Alpha Chi Omega Sorority House which was heaviiy damaged during the tornado on April 13th 2006,
The original structure was subsequently demolished making way for a new structure on the same site. The demolition was approved
via a prior Application for Historic Review. The design of the structure has progressed including several informal meetings with various
staff in the Planning & Zoning, Building and Historic Preservation departments to review the progress of the design.
The original house was a Tudor mix with a series of additions that were built over the years. The new house is an Eclectic mix, incor-
porating elements primariiy from the French Chateau and Crafstsman styles with the plan and massing reminiscent of the original house.
New code requirements dictate the need for a parking structure in order to accommodate the thirty-five required parking spaces.
The two levei parking structure is tucked into the grade, the top level of which, is located at the same level as the lowest level of the
house, thus reducing its scaie and also helps in screening it from view from Washington and Govenor Streets. The exposed portions
of the parking structure will be clad in stone, matching the base of the house. Access to the upper level of the parking structure is
from Govenor Street. The lower level of parking is accessed from Washington Street.

Staff Comments
Originally built in c.1895-1910 this house has undergone some alterations including aluminum
siding, enclosed front porch and window replacement. Despite the alterations the house retains the
original roof prof1le and massing and may still have some decorative trim underneath the aluminum
siding. Although the one and 1/2 story 'bungalow' house does not feature any particular stylistic or
architectural features, based on the basic form of the house, and the roofline-large front gable with
side-gables over projecting bays-deep eaves and window proportions, it appears to have been
influenced by the late 19th/Early 20th Century American styles,
The applicant reports that most of the existing windows are replacement windows and those which
are original do not function properly. The applicant is proposing to use metal-clad solid-wood
windows as replacement windows. The applicant has also indicated that she will consider repairing
the original historic windows and install exterior storm windows where feasible. The project is
generally consistent with the guidelines.
Applicant's proposal to remove the aluminum siding is one of the treatments for restoration
recommended in the guidelines. The request for approval of the fiber cement board siding is also
consistent with the recommendations in the guidelines,
Staff recommends approval, provided that
1) the windows are similar to or match the historic windows, in terms of type, proportions,
sash width, trim and appearance, and
2) if the applicant decides to replace the original wood siding with fiber cement board siding
matching trim is used,

Staff Report
April 12, 2007
Historic Review for 425 Clark Street
District: Clark Street Conservation District
Classification: Contributing
The applicant, Royce and Betsy Chestnut, are requesting approval for a proposed project involving
removal of the porch canopy and building a new front porch addition, replacement of roof material,
and demolition of the existing garage and construction of a new garage. The project is proposed at
425 Clark Street, which is a contributing property in the Clark Street Conservation District.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.4 Mass and roof line
4.9 Porches
4.10 Balustrade and Handrails
6.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction
6,2 New Outbuildings; and
7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition
Staff Comments
Originally built in c.1890-1900 this house has been altered over the years, Although the house has
lost most of the decorative features and the original front porch, the basic form of the house, the
roofline-side-gables with a prominent central cross gable-and window placement allude to
Gothic Revival Style, Considering the fact that the entire roof of the house including the additions
has been roofed with standing-seam metal, it appears that the rear addition(s) may have been built
soon after the original structure was built and can/should be considered as a historic addition.
The house currently has a concrete stoop covered with a front-gabled roof supported on brackets
and a concrete patio, The applicants are requesting approval for the removal of stoop and the roof
canopy over the entry door, and constructing a new full-width porch measuring approximately 18
feet x 8 feet with a low-pitched shed-roof. The illustration attached with the application shows a
porch with square wood columns with decorative molding and a square-spindled railing. The
applicants are also requesting approval for one of the alternatives for the skirting designs for the
porch. The porch design in concept is generally compatible with the style of the house. Staff
recommends following aspects be incorporated in the deign (sketches attached):
1) use open eave overhangs (match the existing original eaves on the house);
2) reduce the porch width (by 12 to 18 inches) such that the porch overhangs do not protrude
beyond the north and south building planes;
3) install skirting using a 3-to 6-inch wood frame with slats fastened to the back of the frame;
4) use simple square spindles (1-1/2 inch)
5) use a tongue-and-groove soffit made of wood or other approved substitute material such as
fiber cement board
The applicants are also requesting approval for the replacement of the existing standing-seam metal-
roof with asphalt-shingle-roof. The applicants indicate that the roof was damaged during the recent.tornado. Other than the signs of lack of maintenance, staff has not seen any evidence that the metal
roof is beyond repair. Staff recommends that the applicants should consider the replacement only
after a careful investigation of the condition of the metal roof.
The applicants are further requesting approval for the demolition of the existing garage located on
the south-west side of the house and for the construction of a new garage. The existing garage is a
simple front-gabled structure with ship-lap siding and minimal or no stylistic features. The
application includes photographs showing deterioration of the structure,
The proposed garage features a front gable similar to the existing garage, and measures
approximately 14 feet 6 inches x 20 feet and approximately 13 feet 6 inches in height. The applicants
are proposing to use a metal panel door (top panel in glass), a four-panel insulated metal-clad wood
entry door and a metal-clad solid-wood double-hung window. The applicants are proposing to use
wood siding to the match original siding on the house and wood trim to match the original trim on
the existing garage. Staff believes that the proposed garage is generally consistent with the guidelines
and is compatible with the character of the house and other similar structures. The illustration
attached with the application does not show a foundation for the garage. Staff recommends building
the foundation such that a minimum of 6-inch of the foundation is above ground and maintaining a
slope away from the foundation to prevent standing water or drainage toward the foundation.

425 Clark Street Front Porch Proposal
Currently, the "porch" at 425 Clark Street consists of a set of concrete steps, accompanied by an
overhang and a large concrete slab measuring 12 ft.W x 8 ft.L. It is not part ofthe original architecture
(erected sometime after 1995); it is unsightly and impractical.
We would like to construct a fully functional and aesthetically attractive front porch. Measuring
18 ft. W, spanning the entire front ofthe house, and 8 ft. deep, with steps set into the porch, it will be
constructed with wood (painted). It will feature: a low-pitch roof, spindled railing and decorative
molding. It will be of a simple, clean design, to coincide with the the rest of the house's fa'Yade.
The goal of the front porch is to beautify the exterior of our house, restore the character of the
house, and to make the front door more accessible, more practical (as it stands now, the concrete steps
don't allow for much standing room in front ofthe door). Moreover, we would like to improve the
economy of the space in front of the house.

425 Clark Street Garaee Reconstruction Proposal
Weare submitting this proposal for approval to reconstruct the garage at 425 Clark Street. The
garage has had severe termite damage; the termites have been exterminated but the destruction remains.
The garage measures 9ft.W x 14ft.L x 6ft.H. It is outfitted with a dirt "floor," on which mold grows. The
garage "door" is composed of three regular house doors nailed together. The walls, exterior and interior,
and siding are rotting. Due to its size and demeanor it is ill-fitting for car storage, as well as unfit to store
other valuables.
The new garage that we would like to construct will measure 16 ft.W x 20 ft.L x 8 ft.H, which
will accommodate the average-sized car, and provide adequate storage space. Its specs will include: a
concrete floor, two windows, a 36 in. walk-in door, a standard 9 ft. garage door, 5 in. lap wood siding to
match the house, and composite asphalt shingle roofing. The clean, simple design will not interfere with
the original Gothic-style upon which the house was built. Our goal is to seamlessly blend the new
construction with the old, thereby restoring the beauty of the house and property.
Note: We are restoring the original wood siding ofthe house; of course we would like to the
garage's fayade to match so as to maintain the historical and aesthetic integrity.

425 Clark Street Roofine: Proposal
We are submitting this proposal for approval to re-roof 425 Clark Street. The metal roof
was damaged during the 2006 tornado: it is dented, bent and the paint layers are peeling. We
would prefer to install a dark, architectural, composite asphalt shingle. The majority of houses on
Clark Street have asphalt shingle roofs and we think it would help restore the original Gothic
aesthetic. We are also submitting proposals for a new garage and porch; we believe a new roof,
with attention to style adherence, would help to further achieve a uniform look and would be
most cost effective if done all at once.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
THURSDAY, MARCH 8,2007
EMMA. J. HARVAT HALL
PRELIMINARY
MEMBERS PRESENT: Michael Brennan, Richard Carlson, Pam Michaud, Jim Ponto, Ginalie Swaim,
Tim Toomey
MEMBERS ABSENT: Esther Baker, Michael Gunn, John McCormally, Tim Weitzel
STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Sunil Terdalkar
OTHERS PRESENT: Helen Burford, Jim Buxton, Kurt Dyer, Jamie Powers, Jason Powers, Terry
Rozinek, Steve Stalke
CALL TO ORDER: Vice Chairperson Brennan called the meeting to order at 6:05 p,m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
There was none,
ITEMS FOR CONSIDERATION:
Certificates of Appropriateness:
938 Iowa Avenue. Rozinek, the contractor for this project, said that there had been some question about
the soffits, and everything else seems to be acceptable to staff,
Terdalkar stated that this is a contributing property in the College Street Conservation District. He said the
property was badly damaged in last year's tornado. Terdalkar said the applicant is considering restoration
of the building beyond the normal repairs for tornado recovery, He showed photographs of the building
taken in c,1960 and c, 2003 and various alterations including the roof addition. He said the roof was
damaged severely in the tornado, Terdalkar showed a photograph of building taken in c, 1900-06 and
said the building was moved from College Street in late 1960s and had lost its tower-roof and the front
roof dormer before it was moved to Iowa Avenue.
Terdalkar said the applicant is proposing to restore the building to match the condition in c,1960 the work
includes rebuilding the roof with a configuration that would be somewhat similar to the original roof,
installing the roof dormer, rebuilding the brick chimney, removing the aluminum siding and resorting the
front porch columns and railing to match the original. He said the applicant has begun work prior to the
application review and a building permit.
Terdalkar said the questions raised in the staff report involve details for the front porch, including the
details for the railing, He said he has requested detailed drawings from the applicant for the porch, He
said that other issues include a stairway to be built in the back and some details for a portion on the side
gables. Terdalkar showed a photograph from the 1960s showing an extended portion on the gables, He
said the project details should include whether that is to be rebuilt, and if not, what would be an
alternative for that. Terdalkar said the review will also require details about the openings and whether
they will be filled with appropriate windows. He added that it also is not very clear what will be done with
the soffits, although now the applicant has indicated that he plans to rebuild the soffit to its original
configuration, which was bead board or shiplap,
Terdalkar showed some photographs of how the structure looks now. He said that the Commission's
packet includes a sketch of the roofline and an elevation. Terdalkar said that in reality, the roofline is
different than it would have been in the 1960s or what the elevation shows, He said there is an additional
peak that has been added, Terdalkar said that therefore, in the elevation, there will be a higher peak
above the main elevation, He said that the additional roof would be similar to a pyramid roof behind the
two cross-side gables.
Terdalkar said the chimney has been rebuilt. He said it is different than it was in the 60s, but it does have
similar characteristics of the Queen Anne style, Terdalkar said that the chimenry that was demolished in
the tornado did not have any significant features and although the new chimney is not identical to the
original, this is an improvement over the pre-tornado appearance,
Miklo said there are two issues to be resolved: the porch railing and the detail at the end of the gables, He
said the entry at the north side may come before the Commission at a later date.
Rozinek said that at this time he did not have additional information about the porch, other than his plans
to replicate it the best he could, based on the historic photographs, He said that everything he is doing is
based on the historic appearance,
Swaim said that in the photograph, the railing appears to have a horizontal below the rail. Rozinek said
that he plans to match the detailing up above and would not just use straight spindles. He said, however,
that he would have to alter the height to bring it up to code.
Rozinek said that he would use attention to detail to replicate everything according to the old photograph.
He said he has already put the door back in its original location, using a door that he salvaged from St.
Patrick's Church. Rozinek said that there will be another door that he got from the salvage barn where the
existing door is now. He said that it will be beveled glass and will tie right in, Rozinek said he plans to
have the windows match the stained glass pattern that is in all the other floors.
Miklo asked if the gable end would be redone, Rozinek confirmed this and said that he is still looking for
photographs, especially of the back. Regarding the back part of the roof, he said he did the best he could.
Rozinek said he thought the Queen Annes typically had a sundeck, He said that was the only thing that
really made sense was to come up to a flat roof situation, which really doesn't work well in this climate, He
said that is where he came up with that higher peak. He said there are ten:twelve pitches, going into
twelve:twelve pitches. Rozinek said that it made sense up to that point, and the only explanation is a flat
roof in that section. He said he just carried the existing rooflines up to what looks like a witch's hat up
there. Rozinek said it may not be exactly what was there before, but it really flows and ties in with all the
other pitches.
Swaim asked about the side porch to the back, Rozinek replied that that is where the drive-through
carport used to be, He said the remaining pole is holding the weight there, and he will have to do
something about that and submit that for review.
Toomey asked if there was a doorway there, Rozinek said there was originally, but because of the grade
and the parking, it won't be safe to have any kind of structure there between the houses, Michaud asked
if that would be some kind of balcony, Rozinek said that he would just side over that. He said that
because of the grade and because there is already access in the rear, there is no need for that door,
which was put in for handicapped accessibility,
Rozinek said that the actual railing down below will resemble what is up above, Terdalkar pointed out that
the house was originally on College Street and later moved to this location. He said he believed that was
when the turret and chimney were removed.
Rozinek said that the shed structure that was up there was not safe and was not water tight. He said he
went through with the demolition to save the house, as it has been taking water on all four floors since the
tornado. Rozinek said that to save the house, he needs to get a roof on quickly.
MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 938 Iowa
Avenue, with the stipulations that the front porch railing be rebuilt as per the original photographs
using paintable wood with the appropriate height to meet City Code, the gable ends be built to
reflect the original extension as per the 1960 photograph, the windows be consistent with the
recommendations in the staff report, and with the back entry stair to be submitted, reviewed, and
voted on separately at a later date.
s/pcd/mins/hpcl3-8-07, doc
Carlson asked if it was clapboard in the little triangle on the gable ends, Rozinek said he believes that is
fish scales and said that he intends to incorporate that up there.
Swaim seconded the motion.
Miklo pointed out that the staff report suggests alternatives if the contractor cannot find salvage windows,
including that wood or metal clad windows would be acceptable in that case.
Swaim said it is wonderful to see that last house on that block on that side of Iowa Avenue be fixed up.
The motion carried on a vote of 6-0.
946 Iowa Avenue. Buxton said that he owns this house and that Dyer and Stalke are working for him on
the house.
Terdalkar stated that this is a contributing structure in the College Street Conservation District. He said
that the application is for the demolition of an 18 by 20 foot garage on the corner of Evans and Iowa
Avenue behind the house, Terdalkar the garage has a perimeter roof with open rafters, and the garage
has shiplap-type siding on it.
Terdalkar said the back/west side of the garage has two barn-sash windows. He said the applicant
proposes to demolish the garage and rebuild a garage that is two feet longer. Terdalkar said the
application proposes eight-inch lap cedar siding, although, since the application was submitted, the
contractor has informed him that he wants to use the same siding that is on the house, three-inch lap.
Terdalkar said the applicant is also open to the suggestion that he use barn-sash type windows instead of
double hung.
Terdalkar said that it is wonderful that the owner wants to rebuild this, but the Commission needs to
consider the integrity, architectural significant and condition of the garage, He said that there is some
leaning toward the north, Toomey added that there are a couple sags and bows in the roof. Terdalkar
said that he believes that it is possible to fix the garage.
Buxton said that he wants to put brand new siding all around the house, He said he wants to do the same
thing to the garage so that it matches the house and plans to use the same shingles for both structures.
Buxton said that after going inside the structure, he has come up with a whole page worth of defects. He
stated that the bottom plate is all rotted, the two by fours are on 24-inch center instead of 16 so that it's
not a very strong building. Buxton said the actual building is out of square by four inches.
Buxton said there is a lot of damage to the building for which his insurance company will be reimbursing
him, and he would rather spend that money on a brand new structure with new siding and paint it the
same as the house, so everything looks the same, He added that the garage door is unusable the way it
is right now.
Dyer said that it would be hard to fix this building so that it would sit level again. He said that the siding is
in really bad shape too, as it is rotted all along the front.
Toomey asked if new fittings would be poured, Dyer said that he would have to. Buxton said he would be
able to reuse the garage door, but the building is currently twisted in its tracks so that the garage door
cannot be used there,
Stalke said that he does not think it would be feasible to repair the garage. Dyers said that the whole plate
on the bottom is rotted. Buxton said that he does not want to invest money to redo a structural framework
that is substandard,
Miklo suggested the Commission consider this as compared to some of the carriage houses; he said it is
not an exceptional example of architecture, Swaim said the garage appears to have been built a decade
or two after the house, Terdalkar said the garage was built in the 1930s, and the house was built in the
s/pcd/mins/hpcl3-8-07. doc
early 1900s, Carlson confirmed that the garage was built few decades after the house and has different
styling than the house.
MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 946 Iowa
Avenue to include staff's recommendation regarding the windows and the siding, specifically for
the siding to either match the house or be replaced with shiplap. Toomey seconded the motion.
Terdalkar said that approval of a demolition needs to be considered on the basis of condition, integrity,
and architectural significance, Carlson said that one can tell that this is an early 20th century garage, but it
has no outstanding features, and there are lots of other garages like it around, He stated that the building
is in poor condition with compromised integrity,
Michaud added that the double car door is a recent feature; one would not see those in the 1920s or
1930s. She said it is therefore not an original opening. Michaud added that given that the sills and siding
are rotten and the studs are substandard, she thought that demolition of this structure would be
acceptable,
The motion carried on a vote of 6-0.
1029 Bowery Street. Terdalkar stated that this building is a contributing structure in the Clark Street
Conservation District. He said the proposed project is designed to accommodate a newer addition and a
new garage, Terdalkar said the building was originally designed by local architect J, Bradley Rust and
was built to his specifications, except for a small change in the roof peak.
Terdalkar said the application is to convert a garage addition into a bedroom space, which would require
removal of the garage door and would then utilize a French door with three panels, He stated that the
other part of the application would be to add a 14 by 17 foot three-season porch that would be separated
by about six feet from the existing wall planes of both the garage and the house, with a connector space
to be built between the porch and the existing structure, Terdalkar said the porch would have a hip roof,
sort of a perimeter roof, and the connector would also have a pitched roof, He said they would have very
shallow roofs, enough to get the water off, Terdalkar said that the new roofs would not compete with the
original roofline of the house,
Terdalkar showed the location for the new garage, which would lead from the existing driveway and be
set as close as possible to the west and south property boundaries. He said the new garage would have
a 24 by 22 foot footprint. Terdalkar said there would be two garage doors, and they would be identical to
the existing garage door, He said the designer has made an effort here to maintain the integrity of the
building and build a compatible structure on the site, Terdalkar said staff has suggested using a French
door with half lights, instead of full lights, to better mimic the garage,
Miklo said that in the initial discussions with Sue Licht, the architect, there was discussion about what to
do with the roof, whether to try to match the roof on the house, to compromise and do something in
between, or to do a more shallow roof. He added that Tim Weitzel, the Commission Chair, was also
involved in those discussions. Miklo said the three agreed that it was probably best to do a minimal roof
so that it would not compete with the house, He said the only aspect staff has a concern about, although
it is not real strong, is that if the doors were half light doors, they would better mimic the garage door.
Jason Powers said that the existing driveway that goes into the current garage will be removed and
landscaped. He said the plan is to have some landscaping with bushes and a private garden, which
would block probably half of the visible window anyway, Jamie Powers said that in keeping with the
original, there won't be any windows on the west side, and there will be two very small windows on the
east side, She said they would like to have the east to south sun during the day, and so they came up
with the plan for the three doors.
Swaim said that the French doors with several lights in them would tie in with the other windows better
than one solid window, She asked about the east elevation. Jamie Powers said there are no changes
proposed.
s/pcd/mins/hpcl3-8-07.doc
Jamie Powers said that this is a very special and quaint house, and she is not in favor of a huge addition
that pops out. She said they want to keep it quaint and tried to have as modest of a plan as possible.
Swaim said that the west elevation drawing shows French doors, and she asked if they are there now,
Jason Powers confirmed this, Swaim said there is already a precedent for them on the house then, Jason
Powers said the French doors would step out to a private patio and would mimic the view on the west
side with the bushes and landscaping in front of the doors so that one could not see the bottom.
Carlson said that his one concern is the loss of the breezeway, because it looks so great now. Jamie
Powers said she agreed. She said they have decided to keep all of the archway systems and either use
stucco or some type of a window in that area, Carlson asked if the wall would be built right up to the
existing arches. Jason Powers confirmed this and said the existing arches will remain, He said they may
keep the gates or have some semblance of the gates there. Jason Powers said that where it looks
through toward the west there will be a bathroom window, so there will still be some continuity.
Carlson asked the owners if they had considered some other configuration, He said that as it is now, if
someone wanted to go back to having a breezeway, it would be very hard to reverse. Jason Powers said
his only concern would be that there would be two finished living spaces separated by open air if they
kept the breezeway as is. Carlson agreed that with the new construction in the back it would be kind of
pointless anyway, because one wouldn't have the view through.
Toomey said that the breezeway could be preserved with a triple pane piece of glass through the whole
thing. Michaud said that one couldn't use that then for a bathroom, Jason Powers said they could use a
large opaque window,
Swaim said the plans show the breezeway coming out but staying the dark brown, Jamie Powers said it
would stay dark brown, but the stucco in the window would be the backdrop so that one could see the
arches, the poles, and how the breezeway was built.
Toomey said that he has no problem with the garage, He said that the screened-in porch, however, looks
like Greek revival stuck onto the end of a building, Toomey said there are moving rooflines on everything,
and then this would have a shallow roofline.
Miklo said staff's concern was not blocking the view. He said the house has a distinctive design with a
fairly complex roof now, Miklo said that adding yet another complex roof would compete with the original
design, He said this approach is to show that this is not original, which is one of the guidelines in the
Secretary of the Interior Standards, to set off an alteration so that it doesn't look like a false piece of
history. Swaim agreed that it would be misleading to have a steeper roof, because it would suggest that
that is how the original was,
Terdalkar said that the cottage is always going to be small, because it was built as a cottage. He said the
garage is an extension, an original addition, Terdalkar said that the plan is to build a third part of the
structure, which would also need to be connected with another breezeway or connector of some sort. He
said that it would be unusual to have three parts of the building being connected by breezeways.
Terdalkar said that it would also be unusual to have the new porch looking like an original part of the
house.
Jason Powers added that he didn't want to change the appearance from Clark Street. Miklo said that with
the shallowness of this particular hip roof, the roof itself won't be that noticeable, so he did not believe
that one would get that Greek revival look, He did a sketch showing what it would look like if one tried to
match the roof on the house.
Michaud said the plans make the house look harmonious. Jason Powers said they wanted it to be
minimalist.
Jamie Power said that the architect originally had transoms on the house, but it was suggested that they
be taken out, so now it's just windows. Terdalkar said that suggestion came from him. He said the reason
this has a Greek revival look is because of the heavier columns and heavier beam. He said those are
s/pcd/mins/hpcl3-8-07. doc
elements of a Greek revival elevation, and he had suggested more vertical features and making the
columns to support the roof thinner so that they disappear somewhat. Terdalkar said one of the features
of the original house is its verticality in terms of narrow windows and lights,
Toomey said it goes back to the issue of does one make it conform to the existing architecture or,
because it's a new addition, does one have to make it so different so that it doesn't appear to be part of
the original. He said that when he works on a project like this, he tries to make it look like it has always
been there. Toomey said that he likes to see an addition look harmonious,
Carlson said there are various schools of thought on this, He said he agrees with the Secretary of the
Interior Standards, which say that an addition should be compatible with the main structure, but one
should be able to see that it's an addition, Carlson said an addition should be harmonious but not exactly
the same. He said this addition is minimalist, and that at least is a good thing,
Miklo said he does not think this will have a Greek revival look once it is built, because it will be dark in
color like the rest of the house, He said the hip roof will not give the appearance of tablature,
Swaim said she prefers the minimalist look, She said that screened-in porches often have a way of
vanishing to the eye, Michaud agreed and said that this porch has a low profile.
Toomey said that screened-in porches often get converted to living areas as time goes by. Miklo said that
this is being built with windows behind the screens,
MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the project at 1029
Bowery Street, as proposed.
Toomey asked about the garage details, Jason Powers said it would be a detached two-car garage,
designed to mimic the original garage. Jamie Powers said it will not look a carriage house, and the focus
will not be on the garage, She said they would be reusing the garage windows and will use the same
siding, Miklo said the guidelines discuss having the garage subordinate to the main house.
Ponto seconded the motion.
Swaim discussed Terdalkar's suggestion regarding using narrower verticals on the porch, Terdalkar said
that Licht did make some attempt to make those narrower but had some concerns about the structural
stability. Terdalkar said that he suggested that the multiple columns should be able to go down to six
inches, but Licht did not want to go that narrow,
Miklo said staff's recommendation was to approve this as is, subject to the window specifications to match
the existing in terms of the material. Carlson asked about the plans for the windows, Jamie Powers said
she assumed they would be double hung, because that's the way the rest of the windows are, Terdalkar
said that almost all of the windows on the house are double hung,
Toomey said that he would vote to change the garage, but he believes that the proposed screened-in
porch would detract from the original building. Jamie Powers said that, regarding converting the
screened~in porch to a living area, Licht originally planned to have heating and air put in the porch, but
Jamie Powers did not want that. Jamie Powers said they have enough living space, and they made a
choice here for a porch. She said she didn't want the option of turning on the air, because that makes it
the same living space as the house, Jamie Powers said they specifically made a choice to have a
screened-in, three-season porch.
Regarding the French doors being half-light versus full light, Ponto said he was fine with full light,
considering there are already other French doors in the house that are full length. Brennan agreed, He
said that for this house, one's attention is not drawn to the garage door exposure, Brennan said he did not
think the half light doors would be a problem,
Carlson said that although he regrets the loss of the breezeway, which is a significant feature of the
house, the breezeway is not significant enough that he would vote against this just on that basis.

Minutes for Februarv 8, 2007 MeetinQ,
Carlson said that in the first full paragraph on page seven, in the first sentence, the word "objective"
should be changed to "subjective." He said that he also had typographical corrections to submit.
MOTION: Swaim moved to approve the minutes of the Commission's February 8th meeting, as amended.
Carlson seconded the motion, The motion carried on a vote of 5-0.
Other:
Preservation Leadership Traininq - Application Information and Tvpical Schedule, Terdalkar said more
information was distributed about this, He said that it is a week-long training session. Terdalkar said that
Friends of Historic Preservation has offered to match the $350 fee for one member,
Burford said that one of the members of the Board has taken this training session and felt it was very
good, She said the intent of the Board in matching the $350 fee was to have more than one person
receive this in-depth training,
Terdalkar said there is also a possibility of applying for a scholarship from the National Trust. Miklo asked
if any of the members were interested in attending, although he agreed with some of the members that a
week is long time. Burford said there may be other opportunities that are for a shorter period of time,
Potential Proiects, Terdalkar said the Commission previously decided that it would not write a work plan
for year 2007, but review and gather public comments on the Preservation Plan Update instead. He said
the draft for the Preservation Plan is expected soon from the consultants, and that will take a lot of the
Commission's time. Terdalkar said if the members have ideas for projects that should be taken up later in
the year, along with the Preservation Plan review the Commission should discuss those.
Terdalkar said once we get the draft staff will prepare a schedule of public meetings for public comments
on the Preservation Plan. As the plan is part of the Comprehensive Plan, after HPC consideration, the
plan will then go before the Planning and Zoning Commission for a recommendation and later will be
forwarded to the City Council for adoption,
Terdalkar said, however, that if anyone has ideas for surveys, CLG applications, or HRDP applications,
he/she could bring them before the Commission, Miklo said that the Preservation Plan will probably take
a couple of months before it gets through the City Council consideration. He said that will bring up several
recommendations for implementation so that the Commission will have a full plate this year just dealing
with the Preservation Plan, Miklo said if there is any other burning issue, members will want to consider it.
Carlson asked about deadlines for grant applications. Terdalkar said that the HRDP grant is due at the
end of the summer. He said that the CLG grant the City applied for was denied, but there was a
suggestion that the two surveys, one for Manville Heights and one for the near South Side, be done in
separate surveys, Terdalkar suggested that Manville Heights could be nominated for an HRDP project.
Burford said that one concept discussed at the Friends of Historic Preservation Board meeting was a
review of incentives for preservation, She said the discussion centered on the Northside Marketplace and
building a consensus to consider once again whether residents would want to see a historic district there,
Burford said that a lot of the offered incentives are based on being on the National Register and then
being designated locally, and it takes quite a bit of work to get to that point. She said that there was a
feeling that once one gets to that point, when the owner tries to use the designation to obtain financial
assistance, there are very few programs that are available, Burford said the Board discussed ways to
make money more available so that it is more meaningful to people to go through the process, Miklo said
that the Preservation Plan will be addressing some of those issues,
s/pcd/mins/h pci3- 8-07. doc
Carlson said that at the last State nomination review committee meeting he attended, one of the
members handed out brochures regarding vastly increasing the amount of money available for projects,
He said he did not know where that is in the process, Terdalkar said he thought that was being
considered in this legislative session or at least an attempt was made to have it considered.
Miklo said the City staff was asked to fill out a survey by an Iowa municipality lobbying group regarding
the staff's experience with State tax credits. He said the response was that there has been no experience,
because it really is not beneficial in Iowa City, Miklo said the property values are so high in the City that it
is hard for someone to invest enough to take advantage of the tax credits. He added that the State has a
very low cap on what is available, although there is some movement in the State legislature to make the
Iowa income tax credits more attractive, restructuring it so that it would be more feasible to use.
Burford said that there are two other inhibitors, She said that the way the program is set up now, the tax
credits are only available for commercial properties. Burford said that another inhibitor is that to receive
property tax relief in Johnson County, if one makes this kind of substantial investment in his property,
there is a two-step process. She said the owner has to go to the State first with the planned investment.
Burford said the project has to receive State approval, and then it has to come back before the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors for the owner to ask for this tax relief, She said that it all has to be done
within a certain time frame, Burford said she understands that there is a way to locally change that to
make this a one-step process,
Carlson asked if staff could get Commission members information regarding this subject so that people
can write to their legislators and get the word out. Miklo said staff could do that.
Miklo said it sounds like there is some interest in submitting an application for Manville Heights or the
Near South Side for the HRDP grant. He said that once the Preservation Plan comes out with its
recommendations and is adopted, the Commission could adopt a program for the rest of the year based
on the Preservation Plan.
Discussion of Annual Preservation Awards, Terdalkar said it was discussed postponing the awards until
fall. He said that Burford has booked a room in the Library in October, and the Commission needs to
discuss starting the application process. Terdalkar said he needed a volunteer to work with Burford and
himself to review the applications.
Miklo stated that, years ago, people nominated themselves and others, and it led to some hard feelings
when self-nominated properties did not receive awards, He said that after that, the Commission and
Friends had a committee to select properties for nominations, to make sure that a project that was not
appropriate was not nominated and then insulted by the whole process, Miklo said that recently the self-
nomination process was revived, but the Commission may want to rethink that. He said that nomination
by the Commission itself, along with Friends, also simplifies the awards program, because it's a matter of
volunteers going out in the community and finding eligible projects,
Swaim said that the system by which people nominate themselves or their neighbors only works
successfully if the word is out there about the awards. She said that in coming up with its own
nominations, the Commission has a better understanding and awareness of all the different projects.
Terdalkar said that one concern is that the Commission is not always aware of projects outside the
districts, He said that nominated projects do not have to be within districts.
Michaud asked by what date the projects have to be completed, Terdalkar said that is up for discussion.
He said that the nominations done for the National Preservation awards give a window of three years,
Terdalkar suggested that the time period be extended a little bit, because some of the projects fall
through because of the timing. He suggested using a time period of the last two years or so, so that credit
can be given to those who have done significant work,
Miklo said that the anniversary of the tornado is April 13th, and the City Council is holding a meeting on
April 1th, He suggested the Commission may want to consider presenting some awards at that City
Council meeting for projects, outside of the regular awards program, that deserve special attention,
s/pcd/mins/hpcl3-8-07. doc
Swaim asked what the criteria for those awards would be, and Miklo replied that it could be whatever the
Commission wants, He said there have been some outstanding projects, Swaim said that it would be
good press for preservation, especially since preservation month is in May, and the regular preservation
awards will be held in the fall.
The consensus of the Commission was to pursue the granting of awards for tornado restoration at the
April City Council meeting. Terdalkar said the Commission could make a recommendation to the City
Council to recognize these efforts. Miklo said the awards could be from the Commission and presented
by the Mayor. He said staff will discuss this with the Mayor and pursue this.
Miklo said that for the special awards, staff would send a staff-compiled e-mail list of potential winning
properties to Commission members, He asked that if someone objects to any property or properties to let
staff know of that objection,
Swaim volunteered to work with Burford and Terdalkar on pulling nominations together for the fall annual
preservation awards.
