Longfellow School: discuss cell tower options H) Adjournment Staff Report July 14, 2011 Historic Review for 1033 Seventh Avenue District: Dearborn Conservation District Classification: Non - contributing The applicant, Wagner Management, LLC, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 1033 Seventh Avenue, a non - contributing property in the Dearborn Conservation District. The project consists of removing a door and two small windows and faux log siding from the west side (back side) of the house and replacing the siding on only that side of the house with cement board siding with a 6 inch reveal. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City historic P,- eserwtion Guidelnes forfllterations 4.3 Doors 4.13 Windows 4.11 Siding Sta, lComments This small house is considered non - contributing. The date of construction is unknown. The current fake log siding is not original. Although the material of the original siding is unknown, based on the simple style of the house it may have been wood clapboard siding. The applicant is proposing to remodel the interior of the house to make it more functional. Given the small size of the house (20' X 22') there is limited wall space that is not interrupted by windows. To accomplish the remodeling the applicant is proposing eliminating two small windows and a door on the back side of the house. Rather than fill in the space with fake log siding to match the existing, he is proposing to remove all of the logs from the west side of the house and reside with cement board siding with a 6 inch reveal. In the future the additional log siding may be removed and replaced with cement board, but that is not proposed at this time. The guidelines recommend replacing non original siding with siding that matches that would have originally been on a house. As noted above the applicant proposes replacing the siding on the west wall of the house with cement board clapboard siding that would be appropriate for most vernacular houses. The guidelines recommend that if an opening is to be relocated or covered over it should not detract from the overall fenestration pattern and that siding to match the existing should be used to fill in the space. In Staff's opinion the proposed siding is better than existing log siding. Although it is not ideal that the siding will not be consistent on all sides of the house, it is likely that the remaining log siding will need to be replaced in the future. Because this property is located adjacent to the railroad at the end of Seventh Avenue, the proposed alterations are not highly visible and should have minimal effect on the conservation district. Recommendedffotion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 1033 Seventh Avenue as presented in the application.

Staff Report July 14, 2011 Historic Review for 818 N. Linn Street District: Brown Street Historic District Classification: Contributing The applicant, David Wieseneck, is requesting approval for a proposed addition project at 818 N. Linn Street, a contributing property in the Brown Street Historic District. The project consists of a 10' 7' x 24' 0" addition to the rear of the house at the second floor, and a 23' x 27' garage /breezeway addition to the north side of the house which will replace the existing attached garage. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.3 Doors 4.7 Mass and Rooflines 4.11 Siding 4.12 Site and Landscaping 4.13 Windows 5.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Footprint Staff Comments This is a well- preserved example of the American Four Square adapted to the Prairie School Style. The original owners, Fred and Mae Seeman, had this house built in 1916. The house has a low- pitched roof with broad eaves and notched -end exposed rafters. The first and second levels are set apart by a wide stringcourse with wider clapboard below and narrower above. A porch with hipped roof extends across the front of the house with rafter detailing matching that of the main house. Window treatment on the front facade includes a group of three 4/1 vertical light double -hung windows on the first floor and a similar grouping on the second. The notched rafter treatment is seen in a rectangular window bay on the south side, at the existing attached garage on the north side, and at the existing one story addition on the rear of the house. Existing garage and one story addition on the rear are not original; date of construction not found. The applicant is proposing a 10' 7' x 24' 0" addition to the rear of the house at the second floor, and a 23' x 27' garage /breezeway addition to the north side of the house which will replace the existing attached garage. The addition at the rear is planned to expand the master bedroom and add a bathroom. The new garage is planned for two vehicles. Both additions are designed to match the materials and details of the historic house: roof and eaves, exposed rafters, wood lap siding, trim, windows, and garage door. The guidelines for Alterations recommend installing new garage doors that resemble the style of historic garage doors, or doors that are simple in design (4.3). The guidelines recommend preserving original roof pitches and spans, and preserving original walls and vertical corners that define the massing of the historic building (4.7). Wood siding to match existing is preferred, although a wood substitute that retains the appearance and function of the original wood may be considered (4.11). Driveways should be similar to historic driveways in the neighborhood; driveways leading from street to garage should be one lane in width, widening toward the back of the lot as required (4.12). New windows should match the size, type, and details of the historic windows. The placement of new windows should be consistent with the window pattern of the historic building. Modern window types may be considered where multiple window types exist on the building; and a change in window size may be allowed to meet requirements for egress (4.13). The guidelines for Additions recommend distinguishing between the historic structure and the new addition by offsetting the walls of the addition from the walls of the original structure or by connecting additions with a breezeway. The guidelines recommend matching key horizontal lines on the existing building, matching the existing roof pitch and proportion, and matching details of the existing soffits and eaves. Siding and windows should also match the existing (5.1). In Staff's opinion, the design of both the new garage and the new rear addition are compatible with the existing house. The building site is limited to the north and in this case the double -car garage door seems appropriate as it will reduce the overall width of the garage. Specifications for the new garage door, specifications for the new windows, and product information for the shingles and the siding need to be submitted for review by staff and the Commission Chair to ensure compatibility. Staff also recommends reviewing the details and finish materials at the cantilever on the rear addition. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 818 N. Linn Street as presented in the application with the following conditions: • Cantilever details to be reviewed and approved; • Garage door specifications to be approved; • The window specifications to be approved; • The product information for shingles to be approved; and • The product information for siding to be approved.

Summit Street, a contributing property in the College Hill Conservation District. The project consists of a new 28' x 28' garage /carriage house structure to be located 11' north of the existing duplex. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.12 Site and Landscaping 60 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for New Construction 6.2 New Outbuildings Staff Cornments This Prairie School - influenced duplex, built in 1928, is two stories in height, topped by a shallow hip roof with deep projecting eaves. The front facade is symmetrical, with double doors at the center. A small porch roof, with a segmental arch detail and massive brackets, shelters the front entrance. Window treatment includes banded sash and casement windows and an interesting arrangement of upper and lower lights on the first floor windows. The siding is asbestos - cement, (original exterior finish may have been stucco). Due to topography, the building is sited nearly a full story above street level. The concrete stair that ascends from the public sidewalk to the front entrance was constructed in 2010, replacing an older concrete stair in the same location. The applicants are proposing to build a new 28' x 28' garage /carriage house structure to be located 11' north of the existing duplex. The new structure is designed to have two separate one -car garage spaces on the lower level, and two separate studio living spaces on the upper level. The lower level would be cut into the front bank, with concrete retaining walls on either side. The upper level would be at approximately the same elevation as the first floor of the duplex. The roof and eaves of the proposed new structure are planned to match the existing duplex. Windows to be metal -clad wood windows. Garage doors to be Series #145 /The Ranch House Collection, from Overhead Door. Siding to be cement board or LP SmartSide on the upper level, stucco on the exposed east fagade of the lower level. The new retaining walls to be concrete, finished to match the concrete stair at the duplex. New stair from public sidewalk at Washington Street up to rear of new structure to be concrete. The guidelines for Site and Landscaping (4.12) recommend providing parking behind the primary building when possible, and providing set back and screening for parking along the side of a primary building, Driveways should be similar to historic driveways in the neighborhood. The guidelines for New Outbuildings (6.2) recommend placing new outbuildings, including garages, to the rear of the primary building. A new outbuilding should be clearly subordinate in size and ornamentation to the primary building, while reflecting the style of the primary building or the style of historic outbuildings in the neighborhood. Garage doors should be simple in design, or in a style appropriate to the property. Double -car garage doors are discouraged. Adding trim around doors and windows is recommended. In Staff's opinion, the site restraints of this property dictate the location of the new garage /carriage house, and while the new structure cannot be located behind or to the rear of the duplex, it can be designed to be compatible with the character of the duplex and the conditions of the steep site. Because it is so prominent, the design of this structure is more critical than a typical garage or outbuilding. Specifications for the new windows, and product information for the shingles and the siding need to be submitted for review by staff and the Commission Chair to ensure compatibility. Staff also recommends revising the window arrangement on the east fagade to include three ganged windows on each side of the upper level. Staff recommends that the retaining walls be symmetrical and that the driveway be designed with a pattern of pavers to break down the scale. Staff recommends that the location of the AC /heater unit on the north elevation be moved to the west elevation. Details for the handrail on the Washington Street stair should also be reviewed. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 109/111 S. Summit Street, with the following conditions: • Final site plan, including information on retaining walls, driveway, and exterior stair to be reviewed and approved; • Final building elevation plans to be reviewed and approved; • Window specifications to be approved; • Product information for shingles to be approved; and • Product information for siding to be approved.

ISM� 109 -111 Summit 5 _ ml Printed:Mar OT 31, 2011 109 -111 South Summit Street Preliminary review for proposed garage See memo by Jann Ream in parcel file, documents. The use may be treated as conforming by virtue of its zoning prior to RNC -12. It appears that the maximum footprint of a detached garage is 885 square feet. A front setback is required along both Washington and Summit. Minimum front setback is 15'. A 25 -foot distance is required between garage doors and right -of -way. Owner indicates that garage will be accessed from Summit. Garage must be separated from principal building by 3 feet, minimum. Garage must be set back 5 feet from rear property line. Garage may not be located within either front setback, though parking is allowed in the front setback if the spaces are on a drive leading to the garage. Maximum curb cut for the drive is 30 feet. Maximum drive width at the right -of -way is 24 feet. Drive must be at least 3 feet from side property lines extended. There must be at least 20 feet from the curb cut and the end of the radius of the intersection of Washington and Summit. Total building coverage is limited to 40 %. Lot size is 5900 square feet, so maximum building coverage is 2,360 sf. Assessor's office shows 1,200 sf of footprint for the duplex. This leaves 1,160 sf BUT the footprint of all detached accessory buildings may not exceed 15% of the total lot area. 5900(.15) = 885 sf. Taking into account a 25 foot setback from Summit (measured from property line) and 5 foot setback from rear property line, this leaves 59 — 30 = 29 feet of depth. 885/29 = 30. A 30 -foot wide garage would fit in the area that is 3 feet from the duplex and 15 feet from the Washington right -of -way. ZONING ANALYSIS PER CONFORMITY OF 109 -11 S. SUMMIT The property was originally built as a duplex and is currently a duplex. The current zoning is RNS -12 which requires 6,000sf (3,000 sf per unit) in order to establish a conforming duplex. The lot has 5,900 sf so, at first glance, it would appear that this is a non - conforming duplex and as such, it could not be enlarged. Owners want to add off - street parking which would be considered an enlargement. However, this property was down zoned from RNC -20 to RNC -12 in 2000. The Special Provisions of the RNS -12 zone (the RNC -12 zone was simply re -named to RNS -12 in 2005) state that if a property was conforming with regard to lot size and use prior to a re- zoning, it is considered conforming with regard to use and lot size. The RNC -20 zone allowed duplexes and required 5,000 sf minimum lot size and 1,800 sf per unit. The property was conforming under the RNC -20 zoning and is, therefore, considered conforming with regard to use under the RNS -12 zone. It can be enlarged as long as it can meet all other provisions of the code. In this case, the property owners want to add parking. As long as their plan is approved by the Historical Preservation Commission, a building permit for additional parking (underground or basement garage) can be issued.

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: 1503 Sheridan Avenue. Miklo said this property is a contributing structure in the Longfellow Historic District at the corner of Sheridan and Rundell Streets. He stated that it was built in the 1920s and has some craftsman features. Miklo said there is currently a chimney, which is not quite appropriate, that was added at some point, and that will be addressed through this project. Miklo said the addition would be to the rear of the house, basically extending the wall approximately 14 feet to add one room on the ground floor and a bathroom and a master suite on the second floor. He said the details of the house would be carried through to the addition. Miklo said the metal chimney would be replaced with a metal chimney that would be in the center of the house. He said it would not therefore be as obtrusive as it presently is. Miklo stated that staff finds the application meets the guidelines for an addition and recommends approval as submitted. Baldridge said this seems like a favorable project. Michaud asked if the garage would remain. Miklo said the garage will remain the same. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for an addition at 1503 Sheridan Avenue, as submitted. Swaim seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6 -0 ( Ackerson, Baker, McMahon, Thomann, and Wainer absent). 611 Oakland Avenue. Miklo said this property is a contributing structure on the west side of Oakland Avenue within the Longfellow Historic District. He said there were quite a few modifications to this property before the area was designated a historic district. Miklo said the back porch was enclosed at some point. He said the applicant would now like to add three windows across the area to let in more light. Miklo said the specifications for the windows have not yet been Historic Preservation Commission June 9, 2011 Page 2 provided, so staff would recommend approval subject to staff review of the windows. He said if the Commission is not comfortable with that, the motion could require final approval of staff and the chair. Miklo said that it will be somewhat tricky to deal with the aluminum siding here. He said that care will have to be taken with how the opening is cut out, so that is a detail staff will look at. Miklo said staff recommends approval subject to staff approval of the window details. Baldridge asked about the indentation that appears and if the porch is two different rooms. Miklo showed another photograph and added that he did not know if the indentation is a result of a remodeling or if there were two porches that were combined. Baldridge asked if the intention is to leave it like this and add the three windows. Miklo said he did not have the details, because Christina Kuecker had discussed this with the applicant. He said it looks like this might have been an open porch or a partially enclosed porch that was fully enclosed at some point. MOTION: Swaim moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for an alteration project at 611 Oakland Street as presented, subject to the condition that the final window location and specifications be approved by staff. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6 -0 (Ackerson, Baker, McMahon, Thomann, Waaner absent). 610 Oakland Avenue. Miklo stated that the owners of this property are proposing to add a screened -in porch to the back of the building. He said the applicants did not submit formal plans but did submit a rough sketch and wanted to get a sense of whether this would be approved. Miklo said the guidelines for rear porches or screened -in porches do not require the detail that one would have on a front porch. He said that the most difficult part will be how this is tied into the roof, and a plan will need to be seen for that. Miklo said staff recommends approval, subject to the condition that the final details be approved by staff before a certificate is issued. Swaim suggested that staff give some guidance regarding the railing of the porch steps as it is shown. MOTION: Baldridge moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for a proposed alteration/addition project at 610 Oakland Avenue with the condition that the final plans be approved by staff. Litton seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6 -0 (Ackerson, Baker, McMahon, Thomann. Waaner absent). 4 Bella Vista Place. Miklo said this property is a contributing structure in the Brown Street Historic District. He added that it was on the Commission's agenda at its last meeting for a couple of elements, one of which was the dormers on the front and back sides of the house. Miklo said he received a revised application that would include a shed dormer on the back of the house. He showed the plans for the shed dormer, saying that it would not be highly visible from the street. Miklo said this would basically create a third floor with a window pattern that is similar to the pattern on the lower part of the house. He showed the window diagram and how it would appear from the side. Miklo said that from the front, it would be visible in some locations but not highly visible. Miklo said he found some precedence in the Manville Heights area for colonials to have shed dormers of this sort. He said the details in terms of windows, siding, and trim boards would match what is on the house now. Miklo said that rather than wood, cement board or hardi -plank type siding would be used. Miklo said staff feels this is a much better solution in terms of keeping the modifications to the rear of the house where they are not highly visible and in meeting the guidelines, compared to the previous application. He said staff recommends approval of this revised application. Historic Preservation Commission June 9, 2011 Page 3 Michaud asked if the proportions of the windows are close or identical to the ones down below. Miklo said he believes that they are the same as the ones below. George Wagner said they would be the same size or slightly smaller than the ones below. Miklo stated that it is better to go smaller. He said that he did some research on dormer design, and all of the material suggested that the upper windows be smaller than the ones below. Michaud asked if the overhang on the back is the same or proportional. Wagner said that they would match. MOTION: Litton moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 4 Bella Vista Place as presented in the application. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6 -0 (Ackerson, Baker. McMahon, Thomann, Wagner absent). CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES FOR MAY 12,2011: MOTION: Downing moved to approve the minutes of the Historic Preservation Commission's May 12, 2011 meeting, as written. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6 -0 (Ackerson, Baker, McMahon. Thomann. Wagner absent). OTHER: Miklo said the Christina Kuecker had accepted a planning position with the City of Clive, Iowa. He introduced Sherry Peterson, who will be some consulting work with the Commission. He said that Peterson has bachelor's and master's degrees in architecture, along with several years of experience, including years of experience with historic buildings. Miklo said that Peterson has also served on the National Register Nominating Committee at the State Historical Society. Miklo added that because of budget constraints, there is a limited amount of time that Peterson can work with the Commission. He said the City hopes to provide as high a level of service for the Commission. Miklo said, however, there will be some things that need to change. He said it may not be possible to have more than one meeting a month. He said staff is likely to move the deadline back for submission of an application from two weeks to three weeks before a meeting to give Peterson time to read and assess the projects. Miklo stated that if time permits, staff may still be able to do some research and promotional activities, but he thought that the Commission and staff might rely on Friends of Historic Preservation to do more of that type of work. He said that things may change with the budget in the future, but he wanted to keep the Commission apprised. Miklo said that there will also be training of some of the other planners in the office so that they can meet with applicants regarding paperwork and guidance, although design advice will be left to Peterson. Miklo said that he would probably attend the next few Commission meetings as well. 0-101014J; OUTUCIM The meeting was adjourned at 6 :35 p.m. Minutes submitted by Anne Schulte Z O O U Z O Q W W w a U ER O 2 ° O U W w W CD UCD Z Q N ° Z W Q E 0 �o z � 7 a U �S uj C Q�j Q voi o � o <z a Q II II L II W_ II X O O z -T. 0 X 0 X X 0 0 X X X 0 X X X X X X X X O O O LO T- X X X X X X X X X X O X X X X X X X X X M 0 X X X W X X W W w X X j O O O O M X X X X X X X O a X M � N m It N N It M N W — N N N N N N N N N N N W (Y) co cY) (Y) c� M Cy') CY) C� C'') Cl) f-- W Q Z Y Z N W Y U Q cQ C O W ° J Q m = ►— W W Y Q m J Z Z O 0 W ° Q Z O H J ° Q ° 0 2 Q 2 u E Q d ° D Q M: J LLI Z _- Q N Q ° Z Q 2 O 2 H Q U Q W J CO F- Q LL CIE W Z O Q E 0 �o z � 7 a U �S uj C Q�j Q voi o � o <z a Q II II L II W_ II X O O z
