Historic Review for 430 N. Van Buren Street
District: Northside Historic District
Oassification: Gmtributing
The applicant, Colleen Keith, is requesting approval for a proposed addition project at 430 N Van Buren
Street, a contributing property in the Northside Historic District. The project consiists of constructing a ramp
on the side of the property and converting a window into a door.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.8 Doors
4.10 Balustrades and Handrails
4.13 Site and Landscaping
5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions
5.2 Ramps and Decks
Staff Comments
This turn of the century vernacular house has an asymmetrical form that shows the influence of the Queen
Anne style. The front porch has been enclosed and replacement siding has been applied. A ramp has already
been installed on the front of the house, but it was built at too steep of an angle.
The applicant is proposing to construct a temporary ramp on the south side of the property to provide
wheelchair access. The proposed ramp is to be constructed of treated lumber with a simple wooden handrail
to meet building codes. According to the drawing submitted, there will be a 6.5' x 8' landing outside the new
door with a 16' x 39" ramp extending to the west. The ramp will have temporary concrete block footings.
The ramp is to be constructed as components. This allows the ramp to be disassembled and moved to other
properties when the applicant is no longer in need of the ramp.
The applicant would also like to remove a window and replace it with a 36" wide door. This is to provide
access into the living spaces of the house. Currently several doors and steps prevent easy wheelchair access
through the front door.
The guidelines recommend designing ramps so they do not detract from the historic character of the house.
The guidelines also recommend locating a new ramp on the side of the building, as much as possible. The
guidelines also allow the addition of new doors, provided the new door opening is compatible with the
window and door pattern and trimmed to match other doors and windows in the building.
The applicant would also like to place a 12' x 18' drive on the south side of the property to allow easy access
for a handicapped accessible van and to install a canopy over the new side door" However, the details of
these plans have not been submitted and the funding is not available at this time.
In staff's opinion, these modifications will not significantly alter the historic charactl~r of the home and seem
to be a reasonable way for the applicant to continue the use of her home.
Recommended Motion
Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 430 S. Van Buren Street as presented in
the application.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 26, 2009
To: City Council
From: Christina Kuecker, Associate Planner
RE: Historic Preservation and Energy Efficiency
One of the common misconceptions of Historic Preservation is that it is counter to the
growing desire for increased energy efficiency and green building practices. It is true
that there are some modern materials and techniques that are not appropriate for
historic buildings, but there are many green practices that are appropriate or that are
inherent in historic buildings.
Historic preservation places an emphasis on the use of natural, durable, renewable
materials; rather than synthetic materials. Preservation also places an emphasis on
repair and reuse rather than replacement, which puts an emphasis on local labor,
supporting our local economy. These are all inherently green practices. The greenest
buildings are ones that are already standing. The energy and resources that went into
building that building are already spent. To build a new building or to change out
portions of a new building requires new energy and resources to bE~ spent to create the
new materials.
One important aspect of Historic Preservation is that the historic structures will continue
to last for future generations. As buildings change over time, it is important for these
changes to withstand the test of time. The materials used to construct the historic
structures have already lasted for a long time, thus the emphasis on similar materials -
natural, durable, renewable materials. These materials have proven to withstand the
wear and tear of many, many years of use, where some newer technologies and
synthetic materials have not.
Also by reusing and repairing materials rather than using new mate~rials, less is sent to
the landfill and fewer resources are consumed. One resource availlable in Iowa City is
the Salvage Barn, operated by the Friends of Historic Preservation" The Salvage Barn
collects historic materials from houses that are either being demolished or renovated.
These materials are then recycled and sold to property owners to Ulse in their projects.
Things like windows, doors, light fixtures, flooring, trim, and siding, just to name a few,
are available at the Salvage Barn.
There are some simple things that can be done to historic buildings to improve energy
efficiency. These include insulating attic and basement spaces, using spray-in
insulation for wall cavities, upgrading mechanical systems, caulkin~~ cracks in walls and
around windows, repairing or reglazing windows, and installing storm windows. These
projects can dramatically increase the energy efficiency of homes and decrease energy
costs.
Two aspects of historic preservation that have been questioned locally as being "anti-
green" are windows and the use of solar panels. The Historic Preservation guidelines
do not prohibit a property owner from replacing decaying windows. In fact, the
Commission has approved replacement windows in 37 properties since 2007. When
June 4, 2009
Page 2
the commission does approve replacement windows, it is with metal clad or solid wood
windows that retain the appearance of the historic windows. However, this is not just an
issue of historic appearance. Vinyl windows are advertized as being an energy efficient
choice, but research has proven that vinyl windows loose their energy efficiency much
quicker than wood equivalents. In fact new vinyl windows can be just as drafty and
deteriorated as the original windows within a matter of a few years. Unlike wood
windows, once deteriorated or damaged vinyl windows cannot be repaired, but must be
completely replaced, sending more materials to the landfill. In addition, one way to
improve the energy efficiency of historic windows is to install good quality storm
windows. This gives nearly the same benefit of installing new double pane windows, at
substantially less cost.
It is true that the Historic Preservation Guidelines do not recommend the installation of
solar panels on the prominent street elevation. However, the Commission has never
received an application to install solar panels. This is likely due to the fact that solar
panels in residential settings generally do not collect enough energy to offset the cost of
installation. This is true in both historic neighborhoods and new developments. If
someone wanted to install solar panels, whether on a street elevation or not, the
Commission would work with the property owner to find the position that is both
functional for the solar panels and appropriate for the building. The~ "not recommended"
sections of the guidelines are intended to provide some flexibility for projects that either
can vary between properties and styles or have not yet been proposed.
The Historic Preservation Commission is currently in the process of updating the Historic
Preservation Guidelines and will be placing an emphasis on the energy efficient and
green building practices that are appropriate for historic buildings. In addition, the
Historic Preservation Commission is trying to create more opportunities for education.
One such opportunity is to host a joint event with Iowa City's Friends of Historic
Preservation on energy saving tips with hands on demonstrations on how to restore
historic elements, such as windows. There are also opportunities to run educational
programming about energy efficient projects for older homes on Cijty Channel 4.
Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Staff Report
Historic Review for 604 Grant St
District: Longfellow Historic District
Oassification: Contributing
The applicant, Heidi Anderson, is requesting approval for a proposed project at 604 Grant St, a contributing
property the Longfellow Historic District. The applicant is seeking approval to for several projects, including
siding removaV restoration, window replacement, removal of a carport, and a porch addition.
June 11. 2009
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.5 Siding
4.7 Wmdows
4.9 Porches
5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions
5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint
7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition
Staff Comments
This two-story house with gable roof is a simple example of the Colonial Revival style. The three bay f~ade
features an offset, columned, and pedimented entrance. Wmdows are six over six double- hungs with newer
inoperable shutters. A carport has been attached to the south side.
Siding
The applicant is proposing to remove the aluminum replacement siding and restore the wood siding that is
underneath. Any portions of the siding that are rotted or missing will be replaced with new wood siding to
match.
The guidelines encourage the removal of synthetic siding and repairing the historic wood siding and trim.
Windows
The applicant is proposing to replace several decaying windows with new Marvin Ultimate inserts. The first
floor windows in the house have previously been replaced. The new windows will be six-over-six, metal-clad
wood, double-hung windows. New window trim will be installed to match the original house trim.
The guidelines allow for the replacement of windows that match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of
divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. The guidelines require that the divided lights
either be true divided lights or be created with muntin bars that are adhered to both sided of the glass, but not
with snap- in muntin bars.
In Staff's opinion, the Marvin Ultimate inserts will minimally change the historic appearance of the house.
Carport
The applicant is proposing to remove the carport on the south side of the building. The guidelines
recommend removing alterations that are not historic and that significantly detract from the building's
historic character. Although it is not clear when the carport was added, Staff believes that it is not compatible
with the historic building and significantly detracts from its Colonial Revival style.
Porch
The applicant is proposing to remove and reconstruct the front porch. The applicant would like to create a
full width front porch, while retaining the pediment over the front door. The applicant is proposing a 7' deep
porch that is approximately25.5' wide. The porch will be constructed out of wood, with vertical grain,
tongue and groove decking, painted wood columns, painted bead board ceiling, painted wood skirting, brick
veneered piers/footings, alwninum or steel gutters, and asphalt shingle roofing. It is not certain if a handrail
will be needed. If it is found that a handrail is needed, it can be subject to review by Chair and Staff.
The guidelines recommend that when new porches are constructed that they are consistent with the historic
building or similar to porches of the same architectural style. The guidelines also recommend that the
significant historic materials and features of the original structure be maintained.
In Staff's opinion, the significant historic features are being maintained because the pediment above the front
entry is being retained, keeping the emphasis on the front door. The porch extension is subordinate to the
main entry portion of the porch. Although it is more common for the Colonial Revival style to simply have
an entry porch, it is not uncommon for a full width Colonial Revival porch, with an emphasis on the front
entry. Staff finds that the porch as presented is compatible with the architectural style of the house.
Recommended Motion
Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 604 Grant Street as presented in the
application with the following conditions:
· The divided lights on the replacement windows either being true divided lights or being
created with muntin bars adhered to both sides of the glass, but not with snap-in muntin
bars.
· If a balustrade is needed, it must meet the requirements of 4.10 Balustrades and Handrails and
is subject to review by Chair and Staff
· The columns being reused for the porch if possible. Any new columns must match the
proportion and appearance of the historic columns.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
THURSDAY, MAY 28,2009
EMMA J. HARVAT HALL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Esther Baker, Thomas Baldridge, Lindsay Bunting Eubanks, William Downing,
Jim Ponto, Ginalie Swaim, Alicia Trimble
MEMBERS ABSENT: Pam Michaud, Frank Wagner
STAFF PRESENT: Christina Kuecker
OTHERS PRESENT: Libris Fidelis, Martha Greer, Ann Holton, Steve Somsky
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Bunting Eubanks called the meeting to ordelr at 6:00 p.m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
There was none.
CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS:
428 South Governor Street.
Kuecker said there are several small projects associated with this general renovation and kitchen
remodeling for the property. She said she would break the project down to examine each facet
individually.
Regarding the siding, Kuecker said the owners have not decided if they will remove the asbestos siding,
but they would like to get approval for that to restore the siding underneath. Kuecker said that meets the
guidelines, and staff recommends approval.
Kuecker showed a floor plan of the rear of the house where there is a one-story addition. She showed a
window that the applicant would like to remove and fill in and a single window the owners would like to
change to a bank of three windows to allow more light into the kitchen.
Kuecker said that the windows are double hung, metal clad wood windows. She, said that in general the
guidelines allow for the addition of more windows if they match the type, style, and configuration that is
appropriate for the style of the house. Kuecker said staff feels this is consistent with the style, and if the
new windows have trim that matches the other windows, then staff is recommending approval. Kuecker
showed another view of the location where the bank of three windows would be.
Kuecker stated that the third portion of the project involves two doors. She said that currently there is a
double French door going into the kitchen. Kuecker said the applicant would like to remove that and use a
single French door to make the opening smaller.
Kuecker showed an interior photograph of the second door to be removed and pointed out that the door is
not functional. She said the applicant would like to remove the door and either fill in the wall or place a
window in that location. Kuecker said staff feels that either of those would be appropriate for this house.
Kuecker said that the fourth facet of the project concerns some foundation repairs on one portion of the
house. She said it appears that the owners will just be filling in some joints. Ku'ecker said that, provided
that the appropriate type of mortar is used, staff finds that is in accordance with the guidelines.
Regarding the porch, Kuecker stated that in a couple of locations the piers that used to be rusticated
concrete block have been replaced with plain concrete block. She said the applicant would like to change
them to match the more historic piers and do other general repair of the porch to make it more stable.
Kuecker said staff finds that replacement of the non-historic materials with more historic materials is in
accordance with the guidelines and recommends approval.

Kuecker stated that overall; staff recommends approval of the project as presented, with the conditions
that the trim on the windows and the doors match the existing trim, the option of using a window in place
of the north door or filling in the door opening, and that the mortar used match thEl density, color, and joint
profile of the existing mortar. She said that if a window is used, it should be a solid wood or metal clad
wood, double hung window.
Greer, the owner of the property, said the basic project is a total kitchen remodel. She said that the
adjustments to the window and patio door and such are to make it so that she can put in a usable kitchen.
Greer said that it will allow for counter space but still be in keeping with the style of the house.
Greer said she is working on this project with other Governor Street neighbors, and they hope to break
even and bring another house back in the process.
Regarding photograph two, Swaim asked what the white, vertical seam is. Greer responded that at some
point a previous owner added that strange, little addition to the left. Greer said that the foundation itself is
also different in that location.
Baldridge asked if the seam would disappear if the shingling were removed. Greer said that if she
removed the shingling, she would replace it with matching cedar siding to match the rest of it. She said
that there are some broken pieces of asbestos siding that she has tried to look: underneath. Greer said
that everything seems solid underneath, as has been true for other houses she has worked on Governor
Street. She said that the seam would go away with matching lap siding.
Bunting Eubanks asked if, as a point of reference, the owner understands about the mortar and why the
Commission has requirements for that. Bunting Eubanks said the idea is to not allow the foundation to
collapse. Greer confirmed
MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 428
South Governor Street, as proposed, with the staff conditions as follows: 1) the trim on the bank
of three windows match the trim of the existing windows; 2) the applicant having the option of
using a window in place of the north door or filling in the door opening. If a window is used, it
shall be a solid wood or metal-clad solid wood double hung window; and 3) the mortar used for
tuck-pointing must match the density, color, and joint profile of the e)tisting mortar. Trimble
seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0 {Michaud and Wagner absent}.
320 Colleqe Street.
Kuecker said this property is the Trinity Episcopal Church, and she showed a photograph of the building.
She stated that it is an Iowa City landmark and is also a National Register property. Kuecker said the
application concerns several modifications in order to accommodate a building expansion.
Kuecker said that the applicant proposes to excavate the basement area in order to create a usable
space in what is currently a crawl space. She added that the lot is virtually completely filled, and this is the
only way the church can add more space to the existing facility. Kuecker said the church plans to reclaim
the stone being taken out and face the new foundation with that stone. ShEl said that staff believes
excavating below the building and creating usable space below ground is an appropriate way to retain the
existing use of the building while minimizing the changes to the historic appearance. Kuecker said that
because the applicant is planning to use the original stone as a veneer, there will be minimal impact on
the historic character of the building.
Kuecker stated that the second portion of the project involves a stair tower to allow access to the
basement. She said the applicant proposes a stair tower on the Gilbert Street fac;ade, and it would be
clad in the same board and batten siding as the rest of the building and have the same dental work, and
the stained glass window will be used here. Kuecker showed a different elevation than provided in the
packet, because the applicant discovered that the windows proposed for the two sides would not be
allowed because of building codes. She said the applicant therefore eliminated the side windows and put
the stained glass window on the more prominent fac;ade.

Kuecker said that in the existing building behind the stair tower there is a stained 'glass window and board
and batten siding that will all be retained. She said that a person inside the building will be able to tell that
the stair tower is a later addition, because the original fayade will still be on the inside of the stair tower.
Kuecker said the guidelines do allow for additions to existing buildings. Although this addition is on the
most visible fayade of the building, it is staff's opinion that it is designed to be unobtrusive to the building
and is a suitable addition to this fayade of the building.
Kuecker said the third portion of the application involves a chimney removal. She stated that the north
elevation has a chimney that was likely a later addition when a heating system was upgraded or changed.
Kuecker said that the applicant would like to remove the chimney and repair the siding to match the rest
of the building. Kuecker said the applicant would like to do the same thing with the vent that is in the
peak.
Kuecker said the fourth segment involves a courtyard space. She said the configuration of the church
creates an internal courtyard that cannot be seen from any of the public right-of-ways, the alley, or any of
the streets. Kuecker said that inside the courtyard there is a lean-to that is only about five feet tall on one
edge. She said the applicant would like to take the lean-to down and rebuild it to be taller, allowing a more
useful space and allowing access to the organ. Kuecker said the wall would need to be moved to the
south to allow space into the organ chamber for cleaning and routine maintenance. She said that it would
be clad in board and batten siding with dentals.
Kuecker said the wall would end up being flush with the present wall. Swaim asked if the wall would be
moved out that far. Kuecker showed on the photo where the wall would be moved to, where it would be
longer, and where the roof would move up. She said the roof would cut across the taller fayade, and
there would be some windows added to one wall. Kuecker said this would only be visible from within the
courtyard. She said that in order to do that work, the applicant would need to remove the glass vestibule
for access, but it would be rebuilt exactly as it is.
Baldridge asked if the windows would be gothic like the other ones. Kuecker showed a photo of what the
windows in the other addition that are similar to what is being proposed. She said they would not be
gothic windows but would be rectangular and smaller.
Kuecker said that staff believes the proposed work is compatible with the existin~~ building and retains the
character of the building. She said that this is a way for the church to maintain iits current location in the
historic building while allowing expansion for its congregation. Kuecker said she feels the applicant is
taking care to make sure the changes are compatible with the style of the building and the historic
integrity. She said that as many project materials as possible are going to bl3 reclaimed or recycled.
Kuecker said that staff recommends approval as presented in the application.
Somsky said that he is the consultant for this project. Holton stated that she is the building chair for this
project. She said that the plan is to maintain a historic church.
Swaim commended the church for retaining its downtown location in an historic building. Holton said that
it is a conscious decision on the part of the church.
Ponto asked if access to the new basement would be only via the stair tower or if there will be another
access. Holton replied that under the narthex part of the church, which is an addition put on in the 1990s,
there will be an opening there as well. She said there will be access there to the lower level.
Downing asked if the part of the church the basement will be built under is the original church. Holton
confirmed this and said that it was built in 1871. Downing asked what is to the west of the newer
sanctuary. Somsky said that is the narthex.
Fidelis said that he wanted to make a statement as a citizen and believes he qualifies as a disinterested
party. He said that one of the points that was not made, although it may be in some of the written
materials that he has not yet read, is that this project would allow a few things. Fidelis said that it would
allow the church to expand its services and to meet its newer needs as the community grows.

Fidelis said it also allows the church to have a new foundation. He said the church is gaining space, but
also, foundations tend to deteriorate, and the longer one waits, the more expensiive it becomes to repair.
Fidelis said that what is really being done here is the preservation of this historic church.
Fidelis said that over the time he has been here, as he has walked by this church., he has always admired
what it has done in terms of historic preservation. He said other organizations have appreciated the
historic nature of their buildings but haven't maintained it the way this church has. Fidelis said that this
church has done a good job, and as a citizen of this city, he really approves of this and thinks it should go
through.
Baldridge said he has been told by a member of the parish that this project will strengthen the foundation
of the church. He said that a similar renovation was recently accomplished at Saint Mary's.
Holton said that when the project was completed in 1996, the church worked on 2/3 to 3/4 of the walls to
stabilize them. She said, however, that one portion of the foundation is in deplorable condition, so the
church has to make some decisions now.
Bunting Eubanks said this is definitely a big undertaking. She said she wants to see the church keep its
original function, which is part of the historic nature of the building.
Downing said the Commission had experience with another basement replacement. He said the
contractor did not follow through with the replacement of the basement with reclaimed stone. Downing
said that in this case he has more confidence that this will be done as specified.
Holton stated that the church is attempting to become a LEED registered project. She said that reusing
material is a key ingredient of that, so this helps the church in two ways. Holton said the church is
committed to refacing the foundation, and that appeals to the congregation on both counts.
MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 320
College Street as presented in the application. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on
a vote of 7-0 (Michaud and Wagner absent)
CONSIDERATION OF MINTUES FOR MAY 14.2009.
MOTION: Baker moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's May 14, 2009
meeting, as written. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0.
OTHER:
Kuecker said that at the last City Council meeting in the discussion of the Northside, the City Council
spoke again about energy efficiency. She said the City Council requested a memo from staff regarding
historic preservation and energy efficiency. Kuecker said there will be a copy of that in the Commission's
next packet. She said that if that memo is insufficient, the City Council would like to hold a work session
with the Historic Preservation Commission to discuss that issue.
Kuecker stated that at the Commission's next meeting, a representative from Adams' Architecture
Millwork will give a presentation on historically accurate storm windows, window replacement, trim and
millwork, etc. She said the presentation would be 15 to 20 minutes. Bunting Eubanks suggested filming
the presentation. Kuecker said that he had indicated he would be willing to present at other forums if
asked.
Kuecker said the City is searching for a representative from the Longfellow District for the Commission.
She asked Commission members to spread the word regarding this vacancy.
Regarding the energy efficiency issue, Bunting Eubanks asked Kuecker if she had time to look through
the list the Commission had compiled at the last meeting. Kuecker replied that she had not. Bunting
Eubanks suggested that the list of ideas could be on the memo sent to the City Council, and it could be
explained to the City Council that the Commission is working on this, but it is thei Commission's busy time

of year. Kuecker added that she and her intern, Robert, are working on compiling a section of
recommendations on this issue for the guidelines.
Baldridge asked Kuecker if she had any idea of the cost of the windows that would be discussed in the
presentation. Kuecker did not have that information. Baldridge said that cost seems to constantly be the
argument by people who want to put in vinyl windows.
Bunting Eubanks said that the Commission does not regulate storm windows at all. Kuecker confirmed
this. She said a homeowner could use vinyl or metal storm windows.
Downing asked if the proposed Northside District passed the second reading 8lt the City Council level.
Kuecker confirmed this and said that three readings are required, with the third vote happening on June
2.
Swaim asked about public comments to date. Bunting Eubanks said that there was such extensive public
discussion at the first reading that the City Council had basically asked people to speak only if they had
something new to add. The Commission discussed the recent ad that had been placed in the Press-
Citizen and the discussion and comments being made at the Council level. '
Baldridge said that the house on Davenport Street that burned is in the proposed Northside District. He
asked what the ramifications would be for that property owner, if the proposed district were approved.
Kuecker said that the rebuilding would have to come through the design review/historic review process.
She said the new house would have to come before the Commission and meet the guidelines. Baldridge
asked if all of the additions that had been tacked on the back end could be replicated. Kuecker said that
would be a question for the building department. Swaim pointed out that it doesn't have to be an exact
replication but has to be sympathetic with the neighborhood
Kuecker said that if the house had been a four-unit apartment building or a house that had been divided
into four units, it could be built back that way. She said, however, that it was a single-family house, so it
needs to be rebuilt as a single-family house, according to the underlying zoning, regardless of historic
preservation.
ADJOURNMENT:
The meeting was adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
