Staff Report January 4, 2023
Historic Review for HPC22-0089: 804 Iowa Avenue
District: College Hill Conservation District
Classification: Contributing
The applicant, Streamline Architects, is requesting approval for a proposed alteration project at 804 Iowa
Avenue, a Contributing property in the College Hill Conservation District. The project consists of the
replacement of the first -floor windows in the historic portion of the house.
Applicable Regulations and Guidelines:
4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations
4.3 Doors
4.11 Siding
4.13 Windows
Staff Comments
This three-story rectangular house with a hipped roof has some Tudor Revival stylistic elements. A pair of
steeply pitched front gables interrupt the eaves line. A gable hood is centered above the front entrance, and a
shed roofed dormer runs the length of the building on each side. The first floor is brick veneer, the remaining
floors stuccoed. The remaining historic windows are 8-over-one double -hung with four -light transoms above
the ones on the south elevation which are also grouped in threes. A large addition in the right-hand rear
forms an "ell" and consists of a gabled roof and a pair of shed dormers, the eastern dormer flows with that of
the original structure. A second -floor balcony forms a verandah on the west side. This 1966 addition was
designed by architect J Bradley Rust.
In 2016, the Commission approved alterations to the basement of the 1966 addition, including the
replacement of some non -historic windows. No other work has been reviewed since the Conservation
District was formed in 2003.
The applicant is proposing to replace the remaining first -floor windows in the historic portion of the house.
This includes the two west -facing double -hung windows, the two east -facing double -hung windows, and six
south -facing double hung windows and transoms above. The two sidelights for the front door will also be
replaced. They will also replace the pair of historic French Doors in the SW comer of the house and one
window in the rear addition. They propose to replace the windows with Pella Reserve Traditional. The
proposal information includes aluminum coil stock in a brown color. Staff assumes the intention is to cover
the original wood trim around and between windows with this material. They propose to replace the existing
single light side -lights on the main door to 15-lite panels.
Section 4.3 Doors of the guidelines recommends repairing historic doors rather than replacing them. It is
recommended to replace badly deteriorated doors with new or salvaged doors that are similar in size, material,
style, and appearance.
Section 4.11 Siding of the guidelines states that it is disallowed to cover historic trim such as door and
window trim, skirt and frieze boards, and corner boards. It is also disallowed to remove them. Covering
historic trim is also disallowed when the application of synthetic siding is approvable by exception. It is
recommended to repair historic wood siding and trim.
Section 4.13 Windows of the guidelines recommends preserving historic windows by repairing sashes and
frames and retaining historic window frames and replacing badly deteriorated sashes with new sashes that
match the historic ones. It is recommended to replace badly deteriorated windows with new ones that match
the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lights, and overall appearance of the historic windows. Using
new wood windows to replace deteriorated historic wood windows is recommended, although the use of
metal -clad, solid wood windows is acceptable. All replacement windows and trim must accept paint.
Typically, sashes will be finished in a dark color, either black or dark green. Divided lights may be true or
simulated. Simulated divided lights may be created with muntin bars that are permanently adhered to both
sides of the glass, preferably with spacer bars between the panes of insulating glass.
The section describes windows as follows:
Windows are one of the most important elements that define a building's architectural
character. Important window characteristics and elements include the window type, size,
proportion, trim —lintels, sills, decorative hoods and pediments, pattern of divided lights,
mullions, sash and decorative glass. Most often, historic windows are double -hung, but
casements were occasionally used. Except for small decorative windows, historic windows
are generally taller than they are wide, and the lower and upper floor windows are often
aligned vertically. The Commission recommends repair of historic windows before
replacement is considered, and requires documentation of the extent of deterioration in
order to approve replacement of windows.
Prior to 2015, door slabs could be replaced in all properties without historic review. Ordinance no. 15-4631
amended section 105.2 of the IBC and IRC to include review of street -facing doors for landmark properties
and properties in historic districts, not conservation districts (#17). For the historic French Doors, if the
exterior trim is not removed or covered (which would require historic review approval) the replacement of
the door slabs does not require historic review and approval. Therefore, review of the French Doors will not
be included in this review. It is assumed that their historic exterior trim will remain.
In Staff's opinion, the historic windows included in this project are in good condition. Some windows may
not open and close as expected because of past paint applications or stops that need to be adjusted. The
interior trim above the south -facing windows in the east portion of the house appears to have experienced
some movement over time that caused the paint to crack at the joint. No impact to the windows was found.
Minimal repair could be completed for the windows to function properly. Alternatively, they could undergo a
complete rehabilitation and weather-stripping so that they would be in a "like new" condition. The inoperable
transoms are in excellent condition. Staff recommends that this portion of the project is not approved.
The proposal included the replacement of the windows on either side of the main door with 15-lite windows
that do not match the existing single -light configuration. While the front door has been changed from the
tongue -and -groove original door, there is no evidence that the current single -light windows are not the
historic configuration. The 1966 drawing provides the oldest representation of the facade of the building that
is currently known. Unless historic images can be found to provide documentation that the windows were
historically different from the existing configuration and the 1966 drawing, staff does not recommend
approval of a window that does not follow the guidelines: matching the existing use of divided lights, if the
Commission approves window replacement on this facade.
The window in the rear addition on the west side is likely not a historic window. This portion of the budding
was added in 1966. The drawings for the 1966 project show this window as an 8-over-one double -hung
window matching the windows in the historic portion of the house. The window is currently a one -over -one
double hung window with wired glass. Because the window is not historic, staff recommends approval of its
replacement with an 8-over-one double hung window to match the historic windows. Any type of glass may
be used.
The French Doors do not fall under the Commission's purview, so they are not included in the
recommended motion. As an important part of the historic character of the house, staff recommends that the
owner consider repair of this pair of doors rather than replacement. And if beyond repair, replacing the doors
in -kind.
While the application did not state that trim would be replaced or covered in the project, aluminum coil
stock, which is used in modem construction to cover other trims, is included in the project. The guidelines
disallow covering any trim with any material. Staff recommends that covering any trim on the building is not
approved. Replacement windows and doors should reuse existing trim and replace in -kind if beyond repair.
Similarly, if ganged or paired windows are replaced, the new windows should not be installed in the same
opening but retain the original size and configuration. Any weight pocket should remain with its exterior trim
even if it no longer holds weights.
Recommended Motions
(Motions must be made in the affirmative and then voted down if the application is being denied.)
Replacement of windows as proposed and covering trim:
Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 804 Iowa Avenue as presented in the
application.
Alternative Selective window replacement and window repair approval:
Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 804 Iowa Avenue, replacing the rear
window on the west elevation with the window proposed in the application, retaining wood trim and
repairing the remaining wood windows, retaining wood trim.

(1) Maximum performance for single unit when glazed with the appropriate glass thickness. See Design Data pages in this section for specific product performance class and grade values.
(2) Published performance data for air infiltration is determined by testing a minimum of four (4) products of NFRC model size. Temng is conducted in accordance with ASTM E283. Air infiltration
ratings for products will differ by size. The performance data does not apply to combination assemblies unless noted. Actual product performance may vary fora number of reasons including
installation and product care.
(3) The higher the level, the greater the product's ability to resist forced entry.
(4) Glazing configurations may result in higher operational forces
(5)ASTM E 1425 defines standard sizes for acoustical testing. Ratings achieved at that size are representative of all sizes of the same configuration.

Memorandum
Date: January 5, 2023
To: Historic Preservation Commission
From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: 2023 Work Plan
The State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) requires the Commission to submit a Work Plan
annually as part of our Certified Local Government agreement.
The 2022 Work Plan is provided to the Commission to facilitate discussion and update of work
plan progress. The Commission's work plan for 2023 will be updated and then reviewed for
approval at the February Commission meeting with the annual report.
Iowa City
' Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
2022 Historic Preservation Work Plan
The Historic Preservation Commission annually updates its work plan. This year we aligned our
work around the goals that the City Council outlined in the Strategic Plan.
Advance Social Justice, Racial Equity, and Human Rights
Long Term Goal
Partner with Parks and Recreation Commission, Public Art Commission, Lucas Farms
Neighborhood, and other community organizations to make Oak Grove Park a public space that
honors the site's heritage. The park, originally owned by the railroad, was home to many
Mexican immigrants who lived in company -owned housing, old boxcars. Many of those
immigrants moved into the surrounding neighborhood. When the City sold Elm Grove Park, near
the Johnson County Administration Building, it bought the land where Oak Grove Park now sits.
The park is currently scheduled for major renovation in 2026 or 2027 which provides plenty of
time for us to investigate outside funding sources and develop a community plan that makes it a
public space both for the neighborhood but also the City.
Long Term Goal
Online Heritage Map: Several local landmarks and historic resources within existing historic
districts tell a story of Iowa City's historic efforts to advance social justice, racial equality, and
human rights. We should tell those stories and allow citizens to see the physical structures
connected with the historic struggles for justice.
Demonstrate Leadership in Climate Action
Good preservation is about using the least invasive measures first and then working up to
removal and replacement only if necessary. This tactic values embodied energy and minimizes
construction waste.
Ongoing Work
One of the fundamental principles of historic preservation is to preserve, reuse, and adapt rather
than demolish and create waste. Our work and previous commission's work has kept
immeasurable tons out of landfills.
We need to continue to advocate that embodied energy is worth valuing. Currently the Climate
Action Committee does not take this into consideration. We should continue to advocate to fix
this. While what we've saved from landfills is immeasurable, embodied energy in existing
materials is still measurable.
2022 Goal
Contribute to the discussion on demolition. As the Climate Action Commission considers how to
deal with demolition, we should contribute. And so should other commissions. If we're serious
about climate change, we should be serious about demolition and the waste it produces. The
cost to the environment, even considering dumping fees, doesn't match the $50 fee. Some
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
cities are discussing removing demolition by right. Rather than just paying for a demolition fee,
citizens are given an opportunity to evaluate the new structure - and make sure the new
structure aligns with our expressed values - do we get affordable housing, is it energy efficient,
are there significant elements of history of the building that should be valued?
Long Term Goal
Provide resources for energy efficiency, repair, and maintenance of older homes on the City's
website. Structures built before World War Il, used different methods of construction compared
to construction of today. Trying to modernize an old structure with modern technologies often
isn't the right approach. Sometimes it's the wrong approach. There are significant ways to
increase energy efficiency in older homes that are minimally invasive. There are ways to repair
and maintain a home and keep resources out of the landfill. Other organizations have already
documented these. We should just find a way to make them available for more citizens.
Develop a disaster preparedness guide for preservation. As the effects of climate change
manifest themselves in more natural disasters, we need to be prepared. The 2020 derecho,
followed the 2008 floods, and the 2006 tornado. The City earned national awards for its work
around the 2006 tornado. The commission and city staff should develop a playbook for when a
disaster hits (because one will again). The goal would be to more rapidly know how to provide
support to those dealing with a disaster.
Strengthen Community Engagement and Intergovernmental Relations
The Commission, as a Certified Local Government, is the place for intergovernmental relations
success. We work with SHPO and the National Parks Service, who oversees historic sites
across the country. We also are trying to engage cross -departmentally with other commissions
where our work overlaps.
Ongoing work
Annual Historic Preservation Awards: The annual awards program highlights successful
preservation work within the community and the expertise of contractors and consultants. As
one of the Commission's main forms of community outreach, the awards are a high priority
every year and attract an audience of about 100 people. The annual awards have been moved
to May to coincide with Preservation Month activities. The awards will require Commission
involvement for nominating properties and for work on the awards sub -committee producing the
awards. We will continue to partner with Johnson County Historic Preservation Commission.
New Commissioner Recruitment: With vacant positions, we should recruit new commissioners.
Long Term Goal
Increased Digital online presence: The City has valuable resources and information on historic
properties in several different formats. Currently the ability for the public to access this
information is dependent upon the format of the information. Digitizing hardcopy information and
combining it with existing digital information in a searchable online database would make this
information about city history more available for property owners and researchers. The City is
considering a revamp of its website, we should try to partner when this happens.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
Invest in Public Infrastructure, Facilities and Fiscal Reserves
The city assets need care and occasionally reinvestment. Doing a little work along the way
helps avoid urgent situations down the road.
2022 Goals
Follow-up on the commission's request to City Staff on the Montgomery -Butler House. In May
2020 the Commission requested that staff from the Planning Department, Public Works, and
Parks help develop a working group to map out the work of this city -owned historic asset. In
1998, as part of a Memorandum of Agreement for the development of the new water plant, the
City mothballed the Montgomery/Butler House, a significant historic resource, for roughly
$70,000.
Summit Street Monument: In 2019 the consultant, Atlas Preservation, completed the "Summit
Street Monument Assessment and Conservation Options Plan" that was financed in part
through a Certified Local Government Grant. Given the ongoing deterioration of the monument,
the Commission will review the options and recommend an appropriate action to City Council.
Enhance Community Mobility for All Residents
These are largely transit and transportation related goals. Many preservationists are
sympathetic to these issues. Historic neighborhoods were designed to accommodate
pedestrians, transit, and modes of transportation that aren't car -reliant. The Commission should
consider how we might engage on this when opportunities arise.
Foster Healthy Neighborhood and Affordable Housing Throughout the City
Many older neighborhoods, that are now historic districts, were designed with mobility,
neighborhood commercial nodes, and a variety of housing types in one neighborhood.
Ongoing work
The core work is protecting healthy neighborhoods. Many of the districts were developed out of
a response to unhealthy developments in these areas that motivated the neighborhoods to take
action. We help provide stability and provide a platform for reinvestment.
Historic Preservation Fund. With the implementation of the fund in FY 2018, the Fund has
approved 28 grants or loans improving 25 properties. This is a popular program which has
helped property owners maintain the historic character of their properties and has helped keep
valuable material out of the landfill.
Be ready to partner with neighborhoods interested in historic preservation. There's been some
interest in the past, particularly the Lucas Farms -Kirkwood Avenue area with reconnaissance
surveys and our job is to be ready and willing partners.
Long Term Goal
Work to get form -based code for areas that are adjacent to or are surrounded by historic
districts. The exchange between the public and developers in form -based code is that the code
would allow for different uses which the public would need to accommodate, but in turn they
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
would get more certainty about community values such as walkability, affordability, and the look
and feel of the neighborhood. Developers get more flexibility in use in exchange for
requirements in form. The areas that are adjacent to, or surrounded by, historic districts often
are areas where development disagreements happen. Form -based code in these areas would
help reduce some of that friction and would align with goals set by council and staff.
Promote an Inclusive and Resilient Economy Throughout the City
Preserving our physical heritage is an asset to an inclusive and resilient economy. Preservation
is a tool for economic growth. The preservation work done in our districts is often done by
smaller local businesses, and potential for growth opportunities exist in smart deconstruction
and trade development for contractors who have specific skills related to older homes.
Recent Successes
Downtown National Register Historic District. This district was listed in the National Register of
Historic Places in June of 2021 following 5 years of grant -funded study and Nomination work by
a historic preservation consultant.
2022 Goals
Opt in incentives for local landmarks in commercial zones. The City has told us to be proactive
as it relates to Historic Preservation The Downtown District and the Commission Chair
partnered on a proactive way to preserve commercial build Gins. As a city, we can incentivize
all kinds of things we value, there's no reason why commercial landmark properties can't be part
of that mix.
Long Term Goals
Transfer of Development Rights Revisit: The previous council opted to not consider a specific
TDR proposal that was developed on a tight timeline. We have had two (or maybe three) new
council members since then. A new TDR proposal could be developed without the constraints of
making them work for a specific property so they could benefit the whole community.
Consider partners on a historic trades mentorship program. Dubuque's HEART program is a
model example of this - training high school students in trades related to preservation, while
transforming blighted neighborhoods (largely historic) back into livable and walkable
neighborhoods and helping young people achieve goals of graduation and career training.
Those who have been through the program often start small businesses in the trades they have
learned.
Ongoing Administration of Our Work
2022 Goals
Update of the College Green Historic District: In 2016, the Commission approved the relocation
of the Houser -Metzger House from 422 Iowa Avenue to 623 College Street where the
contributing structure had been damaged beyond repair by fire and water. In order for the
relocated house to be considered contributing to the Historic District, an amendment to the
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
National Register -listed district is required as a first step. This amendment will be reviewed by
the Commission following revision by staff and the District representative.
Update of the Iowa City Preservation Handbook Maps: The most recent version of the
handbook was updated in 2010 and does not include several recent changes and needs to be
reviewed for accuracy. Since many properties have changed status (for example, a non-
contributing property has become contributing because of siding removal and porch
rehabilitation) in the past ten years, the maps, which are the basis for review -type, application of
exceptions, and in some cases eligibility of the Historic Preservation Fund, are outdated. The
full Commission would review and approve updated maps. A plan was outlined with City staff
but with limited staff time this has not moved forward.
Preserve our Heritage
Our history belongs to all of us. We owe it to ourselves and future generations of Iowa Citians
that we preserve the physical aspects of this history and make sure our shared history isn't
forgotten. This work often encompasses multiple areas of the priorities set by Council. Our
shared heritage is worth preserving as its own goal.
2022 Goal
Sanxay-Gilmore House. The University had a plan to move, restore, and use this house. It no
longer does. The oldest house in the original city boundaries deserves to be saved.
Short Term Goal
2040 Waterfront Drive Intensive Survey: Funded in part through a Certified Local Government
Grant, an intensive survey of the property at 2040 Waterfront Drive was completed. The final
document will be provided to the Commission and the property owner for their review in the
coming months.
Long Term Goals
Evaluation of Mid-century Modern Housing Stock: Since these properties have reached historic
status, Commissions across the country are developing plans for how to evaluate them. In Iowa
City, many of the areas where they are concentrated have not been reviewed but could begin
with reconnaissance -level surveys in future years.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Boyd called the meeting to order at 5:35 p.m.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
There was none.
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS:

Stork recused himself from review of this project because it is his residence. Boyd noted that
since Brown had not arrived, with Stork recused, the Commission does not have a quorum to
proceed on the review of this project.
MOTION:
Beck moved to change the order of the agenda switching items D and E providing time for
Brown to arrive so that the item does not need to be deferred to the next meeting. Welu-
Reynolds seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0.
RONALDS STREET DISCUSSION
Anne Russett provided a background on the project, showing slides. Carl Brown arrived during
the presentation.
Simon Andrew, representing the Housing Fellowship, said they held a good neighbor meeting,
and they had a constructive conversation. The neighbors seemed to be split about whether they
preferred one building or two to be built on the property. He thanked the city for working with
them and expressed his gratitude that the student building project is coming back.
He discussed the two options including the accessory dwelling unit with Option 2. An ADU at a
rental property would take a City Code Change. He said one of the goals with coming to the
Commission is to see which option they might prefer, knowing that the ADU required additional
changes which may have unintended consequences to think through.
Karr, representing the homebuilders, also spoke about the good neighbor meeting. He stated
that they had an aggressive timeline, and they are anxious to see which option will be preferred.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
November 10, 2022
Page 2 of 6
Boyd raised concern about the attached garage since they are not recommended. He said he
was concerned about how large it is too. Karr explained that the area in question would not be
all garage and not as big a footprint as it appears on the drawing. There would be living space in
the lower level too.
Thomann asked about garage parking for both units in Option 2. Karr said that the ADU has a
parking pad. Karr discussed option 2 and the ability to have an accessible bedroom. Karr said
that they will work with staff on the design and then the Commission will be able to see how the
design will follow the guidelines and the materials they use on the exterior will fit the guidelines
too.
Brown asked why they chose an attached garage over detached, and Karr replied that it would
use less building materials. Karr said that they did not want to build a garage because it is a
waste of space. Bristow confirmed that the garage could be closer to the alley property line. She
said that there was a garage built in the next block with an ADU and the 5-foot setback on the
alley is all that is required. Karr said the sewer easement is difficult.
Welu-Reynolds said that Option 2 with a garage, bathroom and bedroom all near each other
was really nice in a historic neighborhood for someone with disabilities and a big benefit. She
like the aesthetics with Option 2. It also breaks up the parking in the back. She also thought a 5-
bedroom house is huge for the neighborhood.
Beck felt that the crowding of the houses in Option 1 would impact the feeling of the
neighborhood. She thought that the distance to parking was large.
Karr spoke again about the ADU and the code change. Boyd said that type of code change will
leave the neighborhoods open to the negative impacts for the owners who view the
neighborhood as revenue only. Boyd said he had concerns about the attached garage but now
that he sees it more as below grade, it could be more attractive from an ADA compliance
standpoint. Boyd said the ADU is his concern.
James Carey, who owns the property across the alley from the property, said he wasn't invited
to the good neighbor meeting, and has some reservations about the project. He said another
neighbor also didn't get to come. He said he has no issues with the ownership of the property
and supports them and creating affordable housing. He said that he doesn't understand why the
two options are treated like absolutes. Carey asked why there isn't an Option 3 that is just a
house since there was just a house before.
Carey said that this is still a development and the Commission should still treat them like a
developer. He said that if he was the owner and came to the Commission with these two
options, he would expect them to be rejected by the Commission. He said that he doesn't think
that the option with two houses fit the mass of the properties in the surrounding neighborhood.
He thinks it would lead to many other requests to divide the lots.
Carey said he didn't understand the need for a dwelling unit in the back. He said that now that
can only be done when the property is owner -occupied. He said the condition of the alley is
poor. He said he doesn't understand why there needs to be two houses on the lot (with an
ADU). He said he feels like it is important to bring that idea of a single house on the lot to the
forefront.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
November 10, 2022
Page 3 of 6
Thomann said that the site plan with the house at the front and the building at the back fits the
character of the neighborhood. She said she liked Option 2 but she wants to know if the rear
building would look like a garage or a house. Boyd said it would need to follow the guidelines.
Welu-Reynolds said she appreciated hearing from a neighbor because they will be impacted by
the project every day. She said she likes Option 2 better just because it is less.
Boyd said he did not have a concern with the split lot because historically the original lots were
often divided. He said the scale does not concern him. He said he is concerned with the fact the
guidelines don't support an ADU that is not a garage and with what this code change could do.
He is concerned about the attached garage because of the guidelines.
Brown said he likes Option 1 because it doesn't have the curb cut and cars pulling through the
pedestrian right of way. He said what he does like about Option 2 is that it preserves the lot
size. Brown does wonder why there is not an option with a dwelling in front and a garage in
back. He said he would like to see Option 3.
CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
529 East Colleae Street
Noah Stork recused himself since he is the owner of the property. Bristow described the
property as an early four -square with Queen Anne elements and classical details. The
application is to replace the metal roof, removing the chimney, and the remaining built-in
gutters. There is some deterioration on the roof edges and other places. The chimney is barely
visible so would not be considered a significant architectural change. There is not enough
evidence of deterioration for staff to recommend removal of the porch gutters.
Whalen spoke and said there is water damage on the porch, but they had not really included the
porch in the roof replacement talks with the contractor. The main roof leaks in the house, around
the chimney too. She also said that the roofers recommend replacing the roof.
MOTION:
Reynolds moved to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 529 E College as
presented in the application, with the following conditions:
If the chimney is still in use it is retained and repaired, evidence of deterioration and the inability
to repair the porch and roof is provided, and the internal gutters on the porch remain and are
repaired as needed. Villanueva seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0
