Below are the projects approved since the April meeting.

A licable Re ulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines forAlterati4 11 Siding 4.2 Chimneys 4.13 Windows 4.5 Foundations 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Comments This two story house with a clipped gable r and a small ch?0 ed gable roof project on t esidle ready o erthed~ heavy porch stretches across the gable end, pP basement garage door. Horizontal emphasis is provided by two belt courses, one between the first and second floors and the other across the gable end. Windows are double hung, with vertical light Craftsman top sash. The applicants are proposing to build a 14' x 24' addition on the rear of the house. They plan to match the wood lap siding, trim, band boards, corner boards, frieze boards, foundation finish, and roof details with in kind materials. They plan to either reuse existing windows from the existing rear facade or use metal clad wood windows of the same design as the existing windows, including the muntin bar pattern. The applicant is also proposing to remove the existing steel chimney from the west side of the house and route it through the roof near the brick chimney. They also propose to rebuild the ,brick chimney to its original height of approximately 30" above the roof peak. The guidelines recommend designing new additions so that the historic character of the structure is not diminished. They also recommend that key features of the existing house be carried onto the addition and the palette of materials be similar on the addition as on the historic house. In Staffs opinion, the proposed addition and chimney alterations are compatible with the historic character of the house and will have minimal impact on the historic integrity of the house. Staff believes that the applicant has taken care to design an addition that matches the details of the historic house. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1503 Sheridan Avenue as presented in the application.

The project consists of the addition of windows to an enclosed rear porch. Apulicable ReRegulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.10 Porches 4.13 Windows Staff Comments This one story bungalow is a good representation of an early 20th century suburban middle class home and was built in the 1920's. The bungalow is adorned with craftsman details, including decorative purlins, battered columns, heavy concrete block piers, and exposed rafter tails. The applicant is proposing to add three windows to the enclosed rear porch. They are not certain the size of window yet and have proposed either storm windows or aluminum clad wood windows. The guidelines recommend that new windows match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. The guidelines also disallow enclosing historic porches. In Staff's opinion, the enclosure of the back porch was an inappropriate alteration to this property and the addition of windows will make the porch more compatible with the structure. However, staff feels that aluminum clad wood windows would be more appropriate than storm windows. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 611 Oakland Avenue as presented in the application with the condition that the final window location and specifications be approved by staff.

The project consists of enclosing a portion of the rear deck with a screened porch. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.10 Porches 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Comments This two story gambrel roof house is a good example of 20~h century Dutch Colonial Revival design. It is likely a mail order house and built in the 1920's. The applicant is proposing to enclose a portion of the rear deck with a screened in porch. The portion to be enclosed is approximately 10' 7" x 13'. The structure will be built of cedar with a bead board ceiling. Any siding, trim, and roofing will match the existing house. The roof will be a shed roof that ties into the lower portion of the gambrel roof. The guidelines do not require rear porches to match the historic details of front porches, but they should be of a scale and proportion that is compatible. The guidelines do not address screened in rear porches, but in general allow portions of front porches to be enclosed with screens. In Staffs opinion, enclosing a portion of the rear deck will have minimal impact on the historic appearance of the property. However, the applicant did not want to draw up detailed drawings until they knew the project could move forward. Staff feels that the detailed drawings should be approved by Staff prior to the issuance of a building permit to ensure compatibility with the historic fabric of the house.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Trimble called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA; There was none. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: 815 East Washington Street. Kuecker said this project involves a retaining wall replacement on the property. She said the applicant has already replaced two retaining walls and would now like to replace the one on the west side of the steps. Kuecker said the replacement bricks would match the existing, with the same bricks and mortar as was used in the other two wall replacements. She said that what the applica~~t would like to do that is a change would be to remove the wood end portion of the retaining wall and replace it with a brick that matches the rest of the retaining walls. Kuecker said staff finds this to be compatible with the guidelines and recommends approval as submitted in the application, with the condition that the new wall match the existing retaining wall in material, color, joint profile, mortar color, height, and overall appearance. Niebuhr, the contractor for this project, said he was able to salvage a lot of old bricks from a previous project and has about three thousand bricks in storage that he can use. He said he also plans to salvage as many bricks as he can from the existing wall, clean them, and reuse them. MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 815 East Washington Street as presented, with the condition that the new wall match the existing retaining wall in material, color, joint profile, mortar color, height, and overall appearance. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Swaim, Thomann, and Wagner absent). 610 Iowa Avenue. Kuecker stated that this application is for a garage demolition and window replacement. She showed the garage, which is located on the alley. Kuecker said the garage is anon-contributing, non-historic addition to the neighborhood. She said that, in general, the guidelines state that the demolitions of outbuildings should be :Wade on a case-by-case basis, with the Commission considering the condition, integrity, and architectural significance of the outbuilding. Kuecker said staff feels the garage is not architecturally or historically significant, and the demolition would not cause a negative impact on the neighborhood and recommends approval of the demolition of the garage. Historic Preservation Commission May 12, 2011 Page 2 Kuecker said the second part of the application involves the replacement of all the windows on the house. She said the applicant has not provided any evidence of deterioration of the existing windows or indicated what type of windows the applicant would like to use. Kuecker stated that staff does not feel that a window replacement would be detrimental or have a significant impact on the historic integrity of the building but does feel that the applicant needs to provide justification for the window replacement, as well as final window specifications, with both of those things to be approved before any building permit would be issued. She said staff recommends approval as submitted, with the conditions that documentation be provided demonstrating the need to replace the windows rather than repair the existing windows; if warranted, the replacement windows must match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows; the new windows must be either solid wood or metal-clad solid wood; and the new window specifications must be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 610 Iowa Avenue regarding the demolition of the garage and the replacement of windows, subject to the conditions that documentation be provided demonstrating the need to replace the windows rather than repair the existing windows; if warranted, the replacement windows must match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows; the new windows must be either solid wood or metal- clad solid wood; and the new window specifications must be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. McMahon seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Swaim, Thomann, and Wagner absent). 4 Bella Vista Place. Kuecker said this application involves several projects. She said the first project concerns the demolition of an existing attached garage and the construction of a small addition in it is place. Kuecker said the second project involves the addition of a door and railing off the roof of the north wing. She said the third project is the addition of four dormers onto the property. Kuecker showed an illustration with all three projects. She showed the current location of the small, attached garage to be demolished. Kuecker referred to the photograph in the packet that shows the existing garage. Kuecker said in staff's opinion, the existing garage is not a significant architectural feature, and its removal will not adversely affect the historic integrity. She said the general design of the addition is compatible with the house, but the window specifications still need to be submitted to insure that the windows will be compatible with the house and with the guidelines. Kuecker said staff finds the deck is compatible with the guidelines and is also compatible with the historic structure and would have minimal impact on the historic integrity. Regarding the dormers, Kuecker said staff feels they look out of shape and size for the Colonial Revival style of the house. She said that a Colonial Revival-style house typically has a narrower dormer that most often only contains one window, and they are most often in sets of three or five. Kuecker said staff recommends, at least for the front facade, that the dormers be more compatible with the Colonial Revival style -two or three narrower dormers with only one window. She said that to offset that, perhaps the applicant could do more of a shed style, larger dormer on the rear of the property for additional headroom. Kuecker showed examples of some Colonial Revival houses with dormers that seem more appropriately sized for the style of house. Kuecker stated that staff recommends approval of the application in general, with the conditions that the applicant revise the dormer design to include two or three narrower dormers with one window on the front elevation, and the rear dormers could remain as proposed, or be redesigned to be a larger, shed-roof dormer, with the final dormer design to be approved by staff and chair prior to the issuance of a building permit; the windows must match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows; the new windows must be either solid wood or metal-clad solid wood; the divided lights must be created with muntin bars adhered to both sides of the glass not with snap in muntin bars; the window specifications must be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Historic Preservation Commission May 12, 2011 Page 3 McInerney introduced himself as the architect for this project. He said that this house is not a typical Colonial Revival house in that it does not have a centered entrance or a symmetrical facade. He said that the existing house that has aPalladian-type influenced entrance. ' McInerney said, regarding the smaller dormers on top, that it is probably acceptable in the sense that it meets the overall concept of a Colonial design. He said there are a couple of things that don't meet the definition of Colonial Revival in the existing building. McInerney said that the house has an asymmetrical fireplace location and an asymmetrical entrance and it has been modified since it was originally built. He said he would be inclined to keep only two dormers instead of adding a third which would add to the clutteredness of the overall aesthetic. McInerney said that to make it simple looking, with a broken design already, it did not follow the guidelines of classic Colonial Revival. He said it has some Italian revival accents in the back that were original. McInerney said the house was built during the arts and crafts movement. McInerney said the idea here was to raspect the orderliness of the house. He said that when it comes down to it, he is just trying to create an illusion to distract the eye in a subconscious way and make the house more orderly and formal, by lining things up and at the same time to try to keep some order to the facade. Baldridge said his first reaction from the photographs is that the original house looks naked. He said it looks much better with the dormers. Baldridge said that he thought what the architect had done was copy the lines of the double windows, but he sees now that the dormer windows are wider than the ones on the house itself. Michaud said they look square, rather than vertical, and that is doesn't seem to match the proportions of the house. McInerney said that the windows are intended to be the same width as the windows on the house. He said this house has an asymmetrical entrance, and there is nothing colonial about that part. McInerney said that he is trying to put some sense of all these different types of eclectic design and roll them together in a classical way with a modern twist. Michaud said that the Commission usually sees someone replicating the shape and proportions of the windows. McInerney said the dormer windows like that would be too tall. Michaud asked if the windows could be made smaller but with the same proportions. He said that if one is going to match something, it is the width that should be matched because the building is telling us that. Ackerson asked McInerney if he intended the dormer windows to be the same width as the windows on the house. McInerney said that the window width and the outside trim would be a match. Baldridge said he thinks this is a very handsome addition. McInerney said that it was the only option. Michaud said her other concern is where the eave meets the end of the house in the lower image. She said this element and proportions should be replicated on the dormers. Downing said that the fascia on the dormers seems much taller than the fascia on the rest of the house. McInerney said that it was done in virtual model so there may be some things that are not represented correctly because of perspective. McInerney said that really what he is trying to do is emphasize the centrality of the middle mullion with the double windows being repeated and strictly adhering to that type of trim; this is the goal aesthetically. McInerney said the intent was to match all the details on the house in the trim and eaves, because there is no other precedent and they don't want to create any more confusion. Downing said that all the windows in the original house are taller and the ones shown in the dormers are essentially square. McInerney said that it's an arts and crafts kind of house. He said he has worked on some foursquare houses, and they have many of the same features. McInerney said this house is more of a colonial-style foursquare. He said that with the double windows, that makes more sense. Historic Preservation Commission May 12, 2011 Page 4 Michaud said the guidelines generally encourage having the same proportion on the windows and fascia. She said that regardless of what the architect is struggling with here, the Commission wants to replicate the proportions. McInerney said he thinks that can be replicated, almost this size here, with the trim at the bottom, one will get rr~ore consistency. Downing said, regarding the square windows on the dormer, he can imagine the top of that window being about waist high. He said that putting in a proportionally taller window or even a pair of windows, would keep the window at a more usable level. Downing said that dormer windows are often narrower than the windows on the main stories of the house, so they don't have to be as wide as the windows below. McInerney responded that it was an attempt to try to struggle with the atypical type of setting. McInerney said that he did not think a mini version of the windows down below would actually translate well once it's built. McInerney said that is why he is trying to take some theme off an elevation and give it a little more majesty. Baldridge asked McInerney if it is his intention that the windows and the dormers will be the same width. McInerney replied that the width would be the same. Downing said that when one looks at other example of colonial revival dormers, the proportion of the windows are the same and the center line of the windows lines up with the windows below even though the widths may not be the same. McInerney said that now it looks naked, but once the dormers are on, it finally gives it the majestic elevation that has been denied to it for 80 years. He said that is the way he looks at it, as an attempt to give it a better design, a modern equivalent understanding of g;•aphics and proportions. Michaud said maybe the Commission has maybe misunderstood things, because McInerney has had a little trouble with his perspective or his program. McInerney said that this is the way he intended it to look. McInerney said that he is trying to make everything look harmonious. Baker said the Commission is past the three dormers. She said the Commission seems to feel that McInerney has made the argument for two. Baker said the issue now is not the two dormers nor the fact that the door is on the side, it's that if one looks at the drawing, the windows that are in the dormers appear square, as opposed to rectangular. She said that if she understands what other Commission members are saying, that would go against the guidelines. Michaud asked if there are six windows in each dormer. McInerney said no that there are two and they would likely be casements. He said that he felt that double hung would be impractical because of the height of the dormer and window. McInerney said he wanted to replicate the windows below and that the windows in the dormers would essentially appear as the top halves of the windows below. Baldridge asked McInerney if he agrees that the windows in the dormers would replicate the width. McInerney said that is correct; he said they would have to. McInerney said that he wants to make sure they line up. He said that one is looking for repeating patterns, and that is where the emphasis is now. Michaud said that Commission members would like to see a little bit more repetition with the shape of the windows. McInerney said if that does, it will add a whole another element to this. He said it would then be a whole different proportion that would actually read and distract the overall elevation. He said if that happens, it will be top heavy. McInerney said the benefit with the colonial style is that everything is balanced. He said if it is not, it is a variation of colonial design. McInerney said a foursquare is built that way too, and this is taking elements from other types and styles. Historic Preservation Commission May 12, 2011 Page 5 Baldridge said that the dormer windows do not replicate anything on the main house on any of the historic examples. Baldridge said that he sees the factor is that the vertical line is retained. He said it looks to him like original equipment and said the Commission is hassling over an inch here or there. McInerney said that once one makes a mini version of a window, it calls itself out on the elevation. Ha said it becomes the dominant form. McInerney said that what we need now is to get away from that and just replicate any element, instilling the concept that was originally planned. Downing said it sounds like McInerney is arguing with the ~:lient's house style itself. McInerney said the house is struggling to be arts and crafts. He said at the same time it is really a foursquare that was made to look colonial. Baldridge asked about the makeup of the window on the south facade and attic. McInerney said that is like the center window of the bathroom window in the front facade; he said it is three feet by five feet. He said it is the same window down below; all those are the same size. Downing said the problem he has with it is that dormer seems proportionally much larger than one might expect, and also, the windows are of a style that is foreign to the house. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 4 Bella Vista Place to approve the demolition of a garage, a single-story addition with an open porch and railings, and a walk-out deck as presented in the application. Jennifer Wagner, one of the owners of the house, said the house is an amalgamation of colonial and foursquare and other details. She said that all around her house are bungalows and foursquares with great big dormers. Wagner said she thought. that the bigger picture was part of what is looked at here. Michaud said that to her, the most prominent thing is the doorway, which is not arts and crafts. She said the integrity of this structure is what the Commission is striving for. Ackerson seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-1, with Baldridge voting no (Swaim. Thomann, and Wagner absent). Regarding the windows, Downing said he is trying to envision a different design that might be more pleasing to the guidelines and Commission members. Wagner asked if they might have to be happy with a more vertical looking window, in order to still have the two dormers. Ackerson said that everyone seems to like the two dormers. Michaud said the two bathroom-sized windows could work in the dormer Baldridge referred to the drawings of the other colonials. He said that the dormers do not match anything on the facade of the main part of the house. Baldridge said that they are all unique. Baker stated that all the windows in the dormers are all rectangles, not squares. Wagner asked if they could then go with the two windows inside a larger dormer but just want the height to be more vertical. Baldridge said the windows are supposed to be the same width as the windows in the body of the house. Downing said they are the same width, but they are not the same height; they are half the height or less of the bottom windows. Trimble said it seems that some members of the Commission would like the windows in the dormers to be rectangular. She said they might then need to be smaller. McInerney said he could probably draw them up both ways. Baker said it would be helpful to have a more proportionally accurate drawing. Other Commission members agreed. Historic Preservation Commission May 12, 2011 Page 6 MOTION: Baker moved to defer consideration of the dormers on the application for a certificate of appropriateness for 4 Bella Vista Place until alternate drawings can be presented by the applicant. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 8-0 (Swaim, Thomann, and Wainer absentl.
