The project consists of the removal of two sets of porch stairs and the installation of one set of porch stairs. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: -I. () ./owa Oiy Histone Pn'serwtion Gtttdelines./or Alterations 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails 4.3 Doors 4.10 Porches Stq#'Comments This house, c. 1900, is a typical Foursquare with symmetrical massing and a hipped roof. While the porch roof is full width, the porch floor is not full-width and has two non-original front entry stairs. The applicant is proposing to remove the two sets of steps on the front porch and replace with one set of steps that line up with the concrete steps and front sidewalk. New railings will be constructed to match the existing railing, but will be taller to meet building code (36"). The railing and steps are to be constructed of painted wood and materials will be reused when possible. The applicant also proposes to remove the non- historic flush doors and storm door and replace with metal two panel doors with two lights above. The guidelines recommend for the removal of non-historic features from a structure. The guidelines further recommend retaining or replicating historic balustrades. Concerning doors, the guidelines disallow the use of flush entry doors and recommend using doors that are consistent with the historic style of the structure. In Staff's opinion, the centrally located stair is likely the original location of the stair and will be true to the architectural style of the house. Staff believes the most historically appropriate thing to do would be to restore the full width porch, but the proposal is moving the porch closer to its original appearance. Staff has some concern that the higher railing may end up being taller than the stone pier portion of the column. If this is the case, an alternate design may need to be worked out for the railing. Staff also believes that the new metal doors will be more in keeping with the style of the house than the existing flush panel doors. Provided the new railing ties into the stone pier portion of the column and is constructed to appear similar to the existing historic railing that is present on the porch and not like the railing that is currently present on the steps, the proposed alterations will be compatible with the architectural style of the house. Recommended Notion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 614 Iowa Ave as presented in the application with the condition that the new railing tie into the stone pier portion of the column and be constructed to appear similar to the existing historic porch railing, not the railing on the stairs. If the railing is taller than the stone pier portion of the column, an alternative railing design maybe approved by staff. ~\... '~~-> I j ~I--- r v/r f' "I' ur '" "'['~._I i' ~L~ .i _ 'r :.1.

The project consists of repair/replacement of the front porch. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 1. 0 /owa Oiy Historic Pmferwtion CII/delines JOr Alterations 4.1 Balustrades and Handrails 4.12 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.14 4.10 Porches 7. 0 /owa Oiy Htstonc Pmserwtion CII/delines JOr Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Sta/lComments This house was built in the 1920's and is of the vernacular housing style. original and the porch has been enclosed. The applicant has written a memo outlining the proposed project. The guidelines recommend repairing historic porches and conserving as much of the historic material as possible. The guidelines also recommend replacing badly deteriorated components with new ones the match the historic components in design and material. The guidelines also allow for the use of a substitute wood material if the new material retains the appearance and function of the original wood, is durable, and accepts paint. However, the guidelines disallow changing the original roof pitch, recommending instead to use EPDM rubber sheeting and! or heat-sealed asphalt. Site and Landscaping Wood The awnings and shutters are not Under Section 3.2 Exceptions to the Iowa Gty Guidelines it says, "The Commission is charged with interpreting and applying the guidelines in a fair and consistent manner, but is afforded flexibility when reviewing applications in order to arrive at historically and architecturally appropriate solutions in cases where a proposed construction project does not significantly affect the architectural character of a historic structure." One exception documented in the Mass and Rooflines section for all properties is to allow for minor changes to the roof pitch to address drainage concerns. This is to be considered on a case-by-case basis if documentation is provided to establish evidence of need. All other architectural features must not be altered. Staff has visited the property and witnessed the decay from the moisture. Photos of the decay will be shown at the meeting on October 14. In Staff's opinion, the proposed project will improve the integrity of this house by correcting moisture problems and opening up the front porch. Staff believes that there is evidence of need to change the roof pitch to allow for better drainage and that the proposed roof pitch is compatible with the architectural style of the property. .I? ecommended H otion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 512 N Van Buren Street as presented in the application with the following conditions: · The applicant reusing the wood columns. If it is found that the wood columns are deteriorated beyond reuse, deterioration must be presented to Staff and Staff must approve the fiberglass columns. · All other porch details being replicated with like materials. 1 t L _f1"'O-= -~... f~"W~~ "",'" "IID.~ ~ - .- ::!,ijllll ~.. CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: May 6, 2010 To: Christina Kuecker, Associate Planner From: David Powers, Housing Rehabilitation Specialist 512 N Van Buren Re: The home at 512 N Van Buren has been purchased through the City's UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership for rehab and resale as affordable owner occupied housing. As part of the planned work to be done on this home, all of the roofs will be stripped down to the sheathing and redone. The main house roof and the garage are both fine and will be done with an architectural type shingle. The front and back porch roofs, however are too low of slope to accept standard shingles. The front porch has extensive water damage on the south corner and both the roof system and floor have been compromised and will require extensive repair or possibly complete replacement depending on what we find once they are opened up and we investigate the extent of the damage. Should it be found that the roof has sufficient damage to require rebuilding, we would like permission to rebuild it with a hip roof with enough slope to allow for shingles to be installed. By raising the pitch to just below the bottom of the second floor windows, we can create enough pitch to avoid having to install a membrane roof system. The roof currently has shingles installed, but it is not steep enough and there is no warranty on the shingles, nor would we expect it to last long in Iowa City's climate. The floor of the front porch has the most damage from the water intrusion and will almost certainly have to be completely replaced. This will necessitate the removal of the enclosed walls, windows, and storm door. It is our intension to rebuild it as an open porch and put it back to the way it was originally designed. The large round wood columns will be reused as long as they are still in good enough condition. If they are found to be damaged, we would replace them with matching fiberglass columns. The rail system would match the original. There is still at least one section of the original rail left for us to model the new rail off of. The floor will be done with painted T&G fir and the ceiling will be wood bead boards. The back porch is also low slope with a failing rolled asphalt roof. The rafters over the first floor bathroom are partially collapsed and we would like permission to replace the entire roof with a steeper roof that would allow for shingles. Like the front porch, there is room under the second floor windows to allow for new, steeper rafters to be installed. This would also allow for insulation to be installed in the ceiling of the first floor bathroom which would help that room a great deal this winter. r '~l.,.. ~ __F _ _ ~ '- ~ i \ II \ \ \ \ \ I \ II \ .1 \ \ I I. \ .

The project consists of siding and window replacement. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4. () /o'Wa City Htstonc Presermtion Guidelines jOr Alterations 4.11 Siding 4.13 Windows StaJ/' Comments This house reflects that architectural pattern of the College Hill area and was built in c. 1900. A 2-story addition is located to the rear, but otherwise this house is intact. The applicant is proposing to replace the windows with vinyl windows and replace the siding with aluminum siding. Specifics of the windows and siding were not provided. The guidelines disallow the installation of vinyl windows on contributing properties unless they are original to the building. The guidelines also disallow the application of synthetic siding including aluminum siding on contributing properties. In Staff's opinion, the installation of vinyl windows and the application of aluminum siding would not be appropriate for this property. Upon inspection by staff, the siding seems to be in repairable condition. The painting of the siding has been neglected and the paint that is present is peeling badly. However, there is not a substantial amount of decay in the siding to justify the replacement. Because of the presence of decaying and neglected storm windows, it was difficult for staff to make a determination of the condition of the existing windows. l?ecommendanon Staff finds that this proposal does not meet the guidelines for siding. Rather than the application of aluminum siding the guidelines, indicate that the existing siding should be repaired. Furthermore, Staff finds that the applicant has not provided evidence that the windows are deteriorated to the extent that warrants replacement. If replacement was deemed to be warranted, the proposed vinyl windows do not comply with the guidelines. Staff recommends that both the siding and the window application be denied. l?ecommended Hotton Motions must be made in the affirmative and then voted down if the application is being denied. Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the siding and window replacement project at 911 E Washington Street as presented in the application. '~:" ---~~~~tf .~'~':J'U'"''--' -~ ~ 1.

The project consists of the demolition of a garage. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 7. {J /OWtl Oiy Ht'stonc Pmsermtion Cttidelines /Or Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Stq/7 Comments The house that previously existed on this property was destroyed by fire in 1996, but the garage remains on the lot. The applicant is proposing to demolish the garage. The guidelines state that the demolition of outbuildings will be made on a case-by-case basis, with the HPC considering the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the outbuilding. In Staff's opinion, the condition and location of this garage do not contribute to the character of the neighborhood and the demolition will have minimal impact on the property or the district.

These items can then be approved by staff without consultation with the HPC Clair or the HPC This was envisioned to include things, such as windows, doors, railings, and decks. This could be items that are universally acceptable or that are acceptable if certain conditions are met. For example, a certain type of handrail may only be appropriate on Victorian style structures or a deck is only a pre-approved item if it is set back from the sides of the house a certain amount. I have compiled a listing of initial pre-approved items for consideration at the October 14 meeting. It is anticipated that this list will contmue to grow. .Radon Nitlgation Staff recommends approving installation of Radon Mitigation systems as a pre-approved item eligible for a Minor Review if the following conditions are met: . The radon mitigation system being on a non-street facing elevation and located on the rear of the property if possible. . The exposed pve pipe being painted to match the structure WIndows Staff recommends approving the following windows as pre-approved items eligible for a Minor Review if the following conditions are met: . The applicant must demonstrate deterioration of the existing windows . The new windows being of the same type and size as the existing windows and matching the sash width, trim, use of divided-lites, and overall appearance of the historic windows. Any divided-lites maybe either true divided-lites or created with muntin bars adhered to both sided of the glass, but not with snap-in muntin bars. . If egress windows are required, a casement window that retains the appearance of the original window may be approved by a Minor Review. A change in the window size will be fOIwarded to a higher level of review. Brands and lines of windows: Staff has requested information from Wmdsor Wmdows, Adams Architectural Millwork, Pella Wmdows, Marvin Wmdows, Quaker Wmdows, WeatherShield Wmdows, Kolbe Wmdows, and Jeld-Wen Wmdows. At the meeting October 14, staff will present the lines of windows that are recommended as a pre-approved item eligible for Minor Review. Decks Staff recommends approving new deck construction as a pre-approved item eligible for a Minor Review if the following conditions are met: . The new deck is located on the rear of the existing structure (opposite the street- facing fa<;ade) and is set back at least 8" from the side wall and . The deck is attached to the building in a manner that will not damage a historic exterior wall or other historic materials . The railing design meets the pre-approved railing conditions Siding /replacement Are there any instances where siding replacement could be a Minor Review? Any specific conditions? Be prepared to discuss at the meeting. Railings Staff recommends approving the railing shown below as a pre-approved item eligible for a Minor Review if the following conditions are met: . The house is of simple ornamentation or the balusters being changed to match the style of the house . If this railing is for a rear deck, the simple square spindles are appropriate for any style of house . If replacing an existing railing, the applicant must make a case for the replacement of the historic rail, such as evidence of substantial decay or a requirement to meet current building code standards W" ElfMllian Section Garage/Out-buildings Staff recommends approving garage/ out-building construction as a pre-approved item eligible for a Minor Review if the following conditions are met: . The garage/ out- building is located at the rear of the property, behind the primary structure . The garage/out-building is accessed via an alley or an already existing curb cut/ driveway . If the garage is a two-car garage, two single-car garage doors are to be used. . The garage/out-building design being similar to and incorporating the elements of the designs shown below ~ :-8 ~ ~ o u Q) ...0 8 ..J:: u ,~ 0.. "'Cl ~ ~ e-2 Vl ....

HARVATHALL PRELIMINARY MEMBERS PRESENT: Kent Ackerson, Esther Baker, Thomas Baldridge, Andrew Litton, David McMahon, Pam Michaud, Dana Thomann, Alicia Trimble MEMBERS ABSENT: William Downing, Ginalie Swaim, Frank Wagner STAFF PRESENT: Christina Kuecker OTHERS PRESENT: Elizabeth Whitt RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (become effective only after separate Council action) None. CALL TO ORDER: Vice Chair McMahon called the meeting to order at 5:20 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: There was none. CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS: 1228 Sheridan Avenue. Kuecker said this house is in the Longfellow Neighborhood. She said the owner is requesting approval for some work that was done without a permit, including insulation of a rear patio door, construction of a rear deck/stair, alteration to a window opening on the east side of the house, and the installation of a gas fireplace vent. Kuecker showed a photograph of the door to the rear deck. She said it is a French style door with one side that opens and one that is stationary. Kuecker said the deck is essentially just stairs coming down off that door. She said in staffs opinion, the patio door meets the guidelines and will have minimal impact on the historic integrity. Kuecker said staff does believe that trim needs to be installed around the patio door to match the trim of the other windows of the house. She said staff feels the deck/stair meets the guidelines, and it meets the setback requirements and such of the rear deck standards. Regarding the side window and fireplace vent, Kuecker showed the size that the window had been. She said the window has now been made smaller and showed where the siding was pieced in. Kuecker said the fireplace vent has been installed below. She said the guidelines allow for window replacement but in general require that new windows retain the size and type of the original windows. Kuecker said the Commission has made exceptions for window sizes and patterns if the proposal is in keeping with the architectural character of the house. Kuecker said staff believes that the retention of the original window would have been most historically accurate. She said, however, that it is not uncommon for a craftsman-style house to have a short, high window on the side. Kuecker referred to some images in the packet that demonstrated this. Kuecker said staff feels the shorter window is in keeping with the architectural style, provided that it is trimmed to match the other windows on the house with either a new window or this window being retrofitted to have some sort of decorative grillwork as shown in many of the examples. She said the best solution is probably to have some vertical muntins to match the other windows on the house. Kuecker said staff believes the fireplace vent should be painted to match the siding color. Kuecker said staff recommends approval of the project at 1228 Sheridan with the conditions that: the exterior of the fireplace vent be painted to match the siding of the house; the side window and patio door being trimmed in wood to match the existing window and door trim; a decorative, divided light pattern being present in the new window; and Historic Preservation Commission September 9,2010 Page 2 the window being solid wood or metal clad solid wood with the divided light pattern either being true divided lights or created with muntin bars adhered to both sides of the glass, but not with snap-in muntin bars. Baldridge asked what is above the French doors in the rear. Kuecker said it is replacement siding to fill in the gap. Ackerson asked if the fireplace vent would hold paint well with the heat. Kuecker said it may not hold paint as well as the siding will, but it will hold paint, although it may need to be painted more often than the siding would be. Whitt, the applicant, apologized for the way this has come about - coming before the Commission after the fact. She said she had thought she had done everything she needed to do. Whitt thanked the Commission for considering her request and thanked Kuecker for her help and recommendations. She said she wants to do what is right by the Longfellow District and by her house. Whitt said she has been trying to respect the history of the house as well as its future in making her decisions. Kuecker said that Whitt had applied for what she thought was needed for a certificate to open up the front porch. Kuecker said that was approved by a certificate of no material effect. She said Whitt was unaware that these other items required review, although she did know that her house is in a district. MOTION: McMahon moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 1228 Sheridan Avenue with the following conditions: the exterior of the fireplace vent be painted to match the siding of the house; the side window and patio door being trimmed in wood to match the existing window and door trim; a decorative, divided light pattern being present in the new window; and the window being solid wood or metal clad solid wood with the divided light pattern either being true divided lights or created with muntin bars adhered to both sides of the glass, but not with snap-in muntin bars. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Downinl!. Swaim. and Wal!ner absent). CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR AUGUST 12,2010: Michaud said that on page six, in the fifth full paragraph, the word "reserve" should be changed to "mature." MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's August 12,2010 meeting, as amended. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Downing, Swaim, and Wagner absent). 2010-11 WORK PLAN: Kuecker said she prepared a list of the items discussed at the last meeting. She asked for suggestions. MOTION: Litton moved to approve the Historic Preservation Commission's 2010-11 Work Plan as presented in the September packet. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Downing, Swaim, and Wagner absent). OTHER: Kuecker stated that she would be sending out a press release soon to request nominations for historic preservation awards. She said the awards have been scheduled for November 14. Kuecker asked Commission members to inform her of any properties that may be eligible for awards. She said that the Commission also usually recognizes some properties from the County, which are compiled by the Johnson County Historical Society. Kuecker said the new handbook, which was approved unanimously by the City Council, has been distributed to Commission members. . Baldridge said he was disappointed when he noticed the huge concrete foundation in the 900 block of Burlington Street. He asked what could be done to avoid situations like this. Historic Preservation Commission September 9,2010 Page 3 Kuecker said the Commission does not have any purview over zoning issues. She said if the property had been in a district, the Commission would have some purview. Michaud asked about the street facing garage door. Kuecker responded that a property owner could get a special exception to the regulation if there is not alley access.
