PROPERTIES ON AGENDA FOR DISCUSSION: Old Business None New Business 1013 Douglas Ave — Replacement of wrought iron columns with round, wood columns 500 N Spring St — Reconstruction of porch 486 E Chicago Street — Replace inappropriate porch handrails with appropriate porch handrails (needs to come back with COA and drawing) 844 Brook St -211 Round Grant Application — Restoration and reconstruction of porch to match historic photograph; general restoration and painting 607 Douglas Ave -2nd Round Grant Application— Restoration of front porch and general exterior elements ITEMS TABLED: None Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 2 of 14 NEW BUSINESS: 1013 Douglas Ave — Replacement of wrought iron columns with round, wood columns The applicant has submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to remove original wrought -steel porch columns and replace with round, fiberglass columns. The applicant indicated that they are situated between turn of the century Colonial Revivals and that the wrought -iron columns do not match the style of the home. Staff conducted a site visit on September 11, 2015 and found the original wrought -iron columns and entablature (horizontal element that spans between the columns) were not beyond repair. However, the base of the columns had heavier corrosion than the other areas of the columns but did not show signs of flaking. The home was built in 1951 in the Colonial Revival style. Turn of the century Colonial Revivals typically had round, wood columns that supported the portico topped by a pediment. The Colonial Revival style was popular from the late 1800's through the mid- 1950's. As the building was built in 1951, it exhibits stylized elements, such as the intricate, wrought -iron columns, that reflect a popular design at that time. Elgin Design Guideline Manual Specifications: Porches A. Should be maintained in their original design with original materials and detailing B. Should be repaired or replaced to match the original in design, materials, scale and placement C. Should be screened only if the structural framework for the screen panels is minimal and the open appearance of the porch is maintained. Screen panels should be placed behind the original features such as columns or railings and should not hide decorative details or result in the removal of original porch materials. D. Should have steps of the same material as the porch floor (e.g. porches with wood floors should also have steps made of wood, not concrete or brick) E. Should have poured concrete steps if the porch, patio or terrace floor is made of concrete (see section on Porch Steps). F. Should have wood tongue and groove flooring running perpendicular to the fa4ade, if the porch floor is made of wood. G. Should have trellises made of wood, if trellises are appropriate. H. Should be filled in as traditional for the type and style of the house or with decorative wood framed skirting, vertical slats, or lattice panels, if open areas in the foundation exist. I. Should not be removed if original to the dwelling J. Should not be enclosed with wood, glass, or other materials which would alter the porch's open appearance. Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 3 of 14 Porch Columns and Railing A. Should be preserved and maintained. Where repair is required, use materials to match the original in dimensions and detailing. B. Should be rebuilt in historic designs if the original columns and railings have been removed or replaced Should have new balusters for the railing, if required. Porch balusters (also called spindles) should be appropriate for the building's style and period. The height of the railing should be in line with the window sill level, if present, and no greater than 30 inches in height. Porch Staircases and Steps A. Should be retained in their original location and configuration, if original to the property. Wood and concrete steps should be repaired with materials to match the original. B. Should be replaced with wood rather than brick or concrete, if the porch floor is made of wood. C. Should have their tread constructed in either 5/412 or 2x12 lumber. The ends of the treads should be bull -nosed and overhang the riser by no less than 1 inch. D. Should have newel posts and balusters, treads and risers, to match original porch construction. Staff Recommendation: Staff cannot recommend the approval of the application as submitted, since the original columns and entablature (horizontal element that spans between the columns) are in repairable condition and reflect the era of which it was built. Original material and elements shall be preserved and retained per the Elgin Design Guideline Manual for Landmarks and Historic Districts. If the round, fiberglass columns are approved as proposed, staff recommends that the Design Review Subcommittee recommend the following: 1. The column shaft shall be straight, round, smooth columns and not tapered. 2. The columns shall be no less than 10 inches in diameter. 3. The columns shall have a simple capital and base to reflect the Doric style. 4. All new columns and details shall be primed and painted. S. The portico roof shall be retained. Mark Demel (owner) was present for tonight's COA discussion: Multiple layers of paint on the ironwork. Base is deteriorated in areas. One support is about 1/3 gone, plus the spurring of the concrete. Owner indicated he has worked on similar wrought iron on the back of this house. Extensive work was done to restore from all the rusting just over 2 years ago. Extensive amount of time was put into the restoration (estimated approximately 100 hours). Commissioners noted the architectural element (ironwork) is significant to this house. Detailing on the ironwork is unique. Round columns would change the appearance of the structure. Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 4 of 14 Commissioners indicated a simple round column "might' have been an appropriate style for the house. However records indicate the ironwork is original to the structure and should be retained as an original feature. Owner indicated the flower petals on the wrought iron is very delicate and a couple of them are missing. Commissioners indicated there are products on the market that will stop the rust from returning once the rust is removed from the ironwork. The lower section of the wrought iron could be replaced; or cut to allow for an appropriate stone base to be installed. Machine could be rented to "soda blast' the ironwork without damage to the ironwork. Stock or custom wrought iron replacement could be considered. Design would require approval by the commission. Aluminum material would not be appropriate. Motion made by Committee Member Savel to approve as submitted (replace wrought iron with round column). The motion was seconded by Committee Member Roxworthy. A roll -call vote was requested by the chairman. The motion failed unanimously (0 -4). Staff informed the applicant of the appeal process. Additionally, the commission noted that should the applicant decide to restore the existing wrought iron; approval would be completed by staff over the counter. 500 N Spring St — Reconstruction of porch The applicant has submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to completely reconstruct front porch as the porch was recently damaged due to a vehicular accident. The proposed porch will remain open and have design details that reflect the style of the home at the time of which it was built. To note, the porch was originally built as a smaller porch that did not extend to the front facade per the 1903 and 1913 Sanborn Maps. However, the porch was lengthened to extend out to the front facade, as it is currently, sometime between 1913 -1950 per the 1950 Sanborn Map. Elgin Design Guideline Manual Specifications: Porches A.

Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 6 of 14 Rudy Gasca (contractor) was present for tonight's COA discussion: Rudy indicated a few changes from the submittal. Gussets (approximately 3" high) would be installed along the porch wall to allow water to flow off the decking. Skirting would be installed under the stairs too. Vertical skirting boards proposed as 1x6 with parallel rows of diamond shapes. Commission prefers plain 1x4 vertical boards (no design cuts) with 1 inch spacing between boards. Piers should be painted black, so the piers don't "show thru" between the skirting boards. Columns should be tapered design. Newel post will also tapered too; with a hip cap.

Which are not original should not be added to primary facades or to secondary facades where readily visible. C. Should be repaired rather than replaced, but if replacement is necessary, the recommended replacement should be in -kind to match the originals in material and design. Windows clad in aluminum or baked -on aluminum are acceptable as replacement windows for use throughout the structure. Factors to be considered in determining whether the severity of deterioration of windows requires replacement shall include but not be limited to the following factors: damage, excessive weathering, loss of soundness or integrity of the wood, deterioration due to rot or insect attack, and cost to repair. As to the factor of the cost to repair windows, a particular window may be permitted to be replaced rather than repaired if the estimated cost to repair the windows is more than the estimated cost of the purchase and installation of appropriate replacement windows. D. Which are original of steel or aluminum should be repaired with materials to match the original. If repair is not feasible, replacement should be with new windows to match the original as closely as possible in materials and dimensions. Aluminum extruded windows Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 12 of 14 are an acceptable replacement substitute for original steel sash windows, as long as their size, shape and profile match the original windows. E. Vinyl extruded windows are not permitted for use in historic districts. F. Which are new should not have snap -on or flush muntins.

Screens and /or storms should be wood or baked -on or anodized aluminum and fit within the window frames. H. That are approved for replacement may be fitted with new double -paned Low -E glass that will improve the energy conservation on the interior. Only low -e glass that does not contain a tint should be used. Wood Siding A. Should be repaired rather than replaced, if original. If replacement is necessary, wood siding and shingles should be replaced with new cement board or shingles to match the original in size, placement, and design. Wood that has been concealed beneath synthetic sidings such as aluminum, asbestos, or vinyl should be repaired and the synthetic sidings removed. Following the removal of synthetic sidings the original siding should be repaired to match the original, caulked and painted. If the "ghosts" or outlines of decorative missing features are revealed, these should generally be replicated and reinstalled. If these features are not replaced they should be recorded through photographs or drawings for future replication. B. Should be insulated if the addition of the insulation does not result in alterations to the siding. The creation of plugs or holes for blown -in insulation is not acceptable. C. Should have original asbestos shingles kept stained or painted. If asbestos shingle siding is deteriorated or poses a health hazard, it may be removed and replaced with wood or other substitute siding. Removal of asbestos siding should follow hazardous material guidelines. D. Should not be concealed beneath synthetic materials such as vinyl, masonite, or aluminum, if original. Original siding should also not be concealed beneath wood based materials such as particle board, gyp board, or press board. These materials generally do not possess textures or designs which closely match original wood siding. However, if more than 50% of the original siding material is damaged beyond repair, or missing, substitute materials may be applied if the following conditions are met: L the existing damaged siding materials are removed prior to the installation of substitute materials; ii. Vinyl material is not permissible. Rather, cement board is and should be smooth without knots and be accented with trim iii. Finger jointed board stock is acceptable, however, natural continuous board stock is preferable for use as siding. The application of these materials must not result in the concealment of or removal of original decorative detailing or trim including window and door surrounds. However, if no trim or surrounds exist then new wood trim in the form of fascia, corner boards, base boards, moldinE and windows should be installed. Design Review Subcommittee — September 22, 2015 Page 13 of 14 Substitute materials should match the dimensions of the original wood siding as closely as possible. The cement board should abut the wood trim and be caulked to prevent moisture damage. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the application as submitted, as the proposed changes /repairs to the structure will further enhance its architectural character. Cathy and Bob Wilson (owners) and Tim Schneiderwind (designer) were present for tonight's COA discussion: Old newspapers were found in the walls regarding the Easter day tornado. Porch columns are tapered shingled columns (4 sided). Pretty much intact, will need some minor repairs. Balustrades and railings are in good shape on both the lower porch and the parade porch. Majority of the missing pieces were found on site. A couple of new balustrades will need to be made. Similar house is located on Fulton Avenue; although that house is simpler in design. Gable shingles will need to be replaced on 3rd floor /attic level. First floor gable is pretty much intact. Wall shingles installed will be square and rebutted. North and south parts of house does have parging issues, which will be resolved. Due to width of front porch staircase, a pipe railing (painted black) could be installed in the center of the staircase to assist persons going up and down. An addition of newel posts and hand railings would look out of place in design. Motion made by Committee Member Roxworthy to approve as amended with staffs approval for a center mounted handrail. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Roberson. The motion passed 3 -0 -1. Abstain: Savel.
