NEW BUSINESS:

327 W Chicago St – Grant Application: Rehabilitation of Side Porch The applicant has submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to rehabilitate the rear porch and replicate deteriorated circular window detail at front parade porch.

The rear porch was enclosed sometime after the 1950s as the 1950 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map still indicates the porch as open. The applicants would like to remove the walls of the porch, restore the flooring, and beadboard, paint existing siding along with restoring the existing, original columns on the porch. The applicants noted that they haven’t found evidence of a balustrade on the rear porch but are open to adding one that matches the front porch balustrade if the Commissioners wish to see a balustrade added at the rear.

The applicants noted that the circular/oblong opening at the parade porch on the front of the home is beyond repair. They are requesting to replace the opening to match the existing opening exactly.

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 façade, 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. Porch Columns and Railing Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 3 of 20

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 C. 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.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness as submitted and with the following conditions: Porch 1. The existing, original columns shall be retained and restored. 2. If a balustrade is added to the rear porch, it shall match the front porch design exactly (design, profile, sizing, spacing, etc.). 3. All rear porch details shall match the attached rendering. 4. All rear porch details shall be primed and painted. 5. That the exterior door (six lights over two vertical panels) currently located at the enclosed porch shall be salvaged and/or kept with the home. Parade Porch 1. The replacement of the circular/oblong opening at the parade porch must match the existing exactly (size, width, shape, etc.) 2. Beadboard beneath the circular/oblong opening shall be replaced to match the existing exactly. All elements shall be primed and painted. ***** Ashley and Jessica Miller (owner) was present for tonight’s COA discussion: Owners have opted to repair the oblong opening (lower right side only). They would prefer the rear porch without the ball & stick handrail design.

Interior walls do not reflect any toe nailing.

Back porch can be seen from Jackson St. Utility porch would not necessarily have had a handrail.

Committee recommends the smooth clear cedar due to durability and longevity of material.

Motion made by Committee Member Roxworthy to approve with staff recommendations and the following requirements: 1) Repair only of oblong opening, 2) post with stop chamfers, 3) Treated pine, redwood or smooth clear cedar and 4) rear porch with or without balustrade. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Hunter. The motion passed unanimously.

Should be compatible in design, shape, materials, and roof shape to the associated dwelling; E. Should be of an exterior material to match the associated dwelling such as clapboard, stucco, or brick. However, if not readily visible from the street, secondary buildings may have exterior substitute siding materials such as cement fiber board with appropriate trim and exposure and cementitious materials. F. Should be of traditional materials if readily visible. For garages, wood paneled doors are more appropriate than paneled doors of vinyl, aluminum, or steel. Wood paneled overhead roll-up doors are widely available and are appropriate for new garages. For two car garages the use of two single doors instead of one larger double door is more appropriate for use in a historic district. However, one double is unacceptable for garages of less than twenty-two feet. G. Should have windows in the garage doors are recommended, but windows may not be appropriate in every case for garage doors. H. Should have raised panel steel doors are acceptable and should be painted to match the house and set off the relief of the panels. I. Should be in designs that are more appropriate for use with traditionally designed structures, if prefabricated sheds are proposed to be used. J. Should not be constructed of rough sawn cedar with knots.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the request to construct the new garage if the following conditions are met: Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 9 of 20

120 Tennyson Ct – Raise bathroom window The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to raise the existing, second floor bathroom sill at the north elevation to align with the adjacent second floor window sill.

The applicant noted that the existing bathroom window sill is 10 inches below an existing bath tub that was previously installed next to the window. The previous owners removed the existing 24x50 double-hung window, installed a 24x32 window to clear the existing bathtub height, installed insulation under the window and placed a storm window in the existing 24x50 window opening.

The owners are requesting to relocate the existing bathroom window sill up to align with the adjacent second floor window sill as that will give them enough clearance above the existing bathtub. The proposed window will match the existing windows in kind. They are also proposing to use obscure glass for privacy.

windows is more than the estimated cost of the purchase and installation of appropriate replacement 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. True divided muntins are preferred over these types of muntins which do not have the same appearance as historic windows. New muntins which are an integral part of the window sash and installed on both sides of the glass are preferable to snap-on simple grilles. G. 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.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness as submitted and with the following conditions: 1. That the proposed bathroom window shall be 1/1 double-hung, wood, and must match in kind to the existing windows. The proposed window shall fit the width of the original window opening. 2. Window glass shall not be tinted but glass can be obscured at this location. 3. The bathroom window sill must align with the adjacent second floor window. The sill to be relocated, if in good condition, shall be retained and reinstalled at proposed location. If sill is beyond repair, a new sill shall be recreated to match the original in size, design and profile. ***** Roberto Rizo (owner’s representative) was present for tonight’s COA discussion:

New construction wood window. Will match exterior trim.

Siding to be “stitched in” with clear cedar siding to match existing profile (appx. ½” x 6”).

Motion made by Committee Member Savel to approve with staff recommendations and the following requirements 1) match exterior trim, and 2) stitch in new siding to match profile. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Roxworthy. The motion passed unanimously.

372 N Spring St – Grant Application: Rehabilitation of Front Porch The applicant has submitted an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness to rehabilitate the front porch.

The applicant is proposing to restore and rehabilitate the front porch. The porch is situated above a lightwell and proposes some unique design problems. The current porch has concrete steps leading up to a wood porch stoop. Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 14 of 20

To note, although the front porch was not built at the time of construction, the small front porch was installed between 1903 and 1913 and has gained significance over time. This small front porch has been associated with the home much longer (107 years: 2017-1910) than the full front porch (39 years: 1910-1871) that was built at the time of construction.

Per the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, of which our Historic District Guidelines are based, “Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.” The standards also note: “Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.” Please see the attached Sanborn Maps for a reference.

In addition, the small front porch was constructed at the same time as the side porch.

507 Raymond St – Request to maintain vinyl siding and vinyl windows that were installed without a COA or a permit. The COA application has been filed as a corrective action to the following violations: 1. Installation of vinyl siding and vinyl windows without a COA.

The applicant has indicated their interest in keeping the existing vinyl siding and vinyl windows as they believe this is an improvement compared to the aluminum siding that clad the building prior to the installation of the vinyl.

Staff conducted a site visit to the property on October 14, 2016 as the homeowner recently purchased the property and requested a meeting with staff on site. Staff stated at that time that this property is located within the Elgin National Watch Historic District and that any exterior work must be reviewed by staff or the Design Review Subcommittee.

Staff also noted that the existing aluminum siding may be maintained but once it is removed, the original siding must be restored. Staff also noted that the prior owner replaced a few windows with vinyl and that these were installed without a permit. These code violations are transferred to the next homeowner and therefore, the vinyl windows must be replaced with a wood or aluminum-clad wood window to match the other original wood windows on the home.

Staff also stated to the applicant that there would be historic rehabilitation grants available in January of 2017 for rehabilitation of the home including removal of the aluminum siding, restoration of the existing wood windows and replacement of the vinyl windows that the previous owner installed with wood windows.

On March 22, 2017, a Code Compliance Officer found work being done on the home including installation of vinyl siding and vinyl windows without a COA or a Building Permit. The Code Compliance Officer issued a stop work order on the home. At that time, the applicant spoke with staff requesting to maintain the vinyl siding and vinyl windows. Staff advised the applicant that the Design Guidelines do not permit the installation of vinyl siding nor vinyl windows as previously mentioned at the site visit on October 14, 2016.

Staff also stated to the applicant that once the non-original siding is removed any architectural features that can be restored as per the building’s shadow lines will be required. To note, the Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 17 of 20 architectural features including the original window hoods were removed during installation of the aluminum siding.

The applicant has also installed vinyl windows throughout the home. Staff has advised the applicant that the Design Guidelines do not permit the installation of vinyl windows and that wood or aluminum-clad wood windows are the only acceptable materials to be used for windows on this style of home.

Elgin Design Guideline Manual Specifications: 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 particleboard, gyp board, or pressboard. 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: • the existing damaged siding materials are removed prior to the installation of substitute materials; • Vinyl material is not permissible. Rather, cement board is and should be smooth without knots and be accented with trim • 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, molding and windows should be installed.

Substitute materials should match the dimensions of the original wood siding as closely as Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 18 of 20 possible. The cement board should abut the wood trim and be caulked to prevent moisture damage.

Windows A. Which are original should be preserved in their original location, size, and design and with their original materials and numbers of panes (glass lights). B. 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 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. True divided muntins are preferred over these types of muntins which do not have the same appearance as historic windows. New muntins which are an integral part of the window sash and installed on both sides of the glass are preferable to snap-on simple grilles. G. 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.

Staff Recommendation: Staff does not recommend approval of the application as submitted, as the proposed material (vinyl) does not meet the material requirements of the Elgin Design Guideline Manual for Landmarks and Historic Districts. ***** Sophia Li (owner) was present for tonight’s COA discussion. Owner indicated interior work was being done in the fall. Contractor installed the siding without permit. Committee confirmed that modern materials (vinyl siding) was placed over the original siding AFTER the aluminum siding was removed from the structure. They also affirmed that siding Design Review Subcommittee – April 11, 2017 Page 19 of 20 permits for repairs and/or replacements are required for all properties within the City of Elgin. Window replacements (when meeting guideline requirements for removal) within the historic districts must be completed with building permit and are required to be solid wood or wood with aluminum clad exterior.

Motion made #1 by Committee Member Savel to approve the siding (vinyl material) as installed. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Hunter. Chairman Weidmeyer requested a roll-call vote for this item. The motion failed 7-0.

Motion made #2 by Committee Member Savel to approve the window replacements (vinyl material) as installed. The motion was seconded by Committee Member Diamond. Chairman Weidmeyer requested a roll-call vote for this item. The motion failed 7-0.

The appeal process was explained to the property owner. If appeal is not received with 10 business days from the city’s letter; homeowner must remove vinyl siding & restore the original wood siding. Additionally, the homeowner must remove the vinyl windows & replace with appropriate style solid wood or wood with aluminum clad exterior. Both siding and window work must be approved via a COA by staff.

ADDITIONAL STAFF COMMENTS: Grant review by staff and committee on April 19th at city hall. Mayor’s Award ceremony on May 2nd at 1 Douglas Avenue.

AGENDA ITEM F1

Staff Comments Meeting Date: May 9, 2017 Property Address: 636 Park Street Property Owner: Eric Featherston

Exhibit A: Aerial Map Exhibit B: Current Photos Exhibit C: Inventory Form - Significant Exhibit D: COA Application Exhibit E: Plat of survey Exhibit F: Proposed Fence Design

Project Background: The property owner has submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to replace the decorative balustrade fence on the property with a black, aluminum style fence.

The request has been submitted due to areas of deterioration at the existing fence. The property owner also indicated that the current fence is high maintenance and cost prohibitive and would like to replace it with a fence that doesn’t require associated maintenance.

Staff conducted a site visit on May 4, 2017 and found that the fence was in overall good condition with the most deterioration at the post caps.

The existing fence is 4’-0” high in the front and side yards with a 6’-0” privacy fence in the rear yard. To note, while the fence is not original to the home, it is of an appropriate style. The existing fence was installed in 2001.

Elgin Design Guideline Manual Specifications: Fences A. Should be proportionate to the house and the design should be compatible with the character of the building and district. B. Should be painted white or a trim color related to the house, never left to weather or given a stain finish. E. If placed along common property lines should not be placed against another fence - double line fencing is not permitted. F. Should have posts that are set a minimum of 30 inches below grade and no more than eight feet apart. G. If wood, be of cedar, redwood or pressure treated pine, cypress or other rot resistant wood.

Fences in Rear Yard L. Built for privacy should not extend beyond the rear yard beginning at the back corner of the house. M. Built for privacy should have a minimum of gate post, corner post, and end posts which are five to ten inches wide and taller than the pickets. N. Can be constructed in the same low fence design found in the front yard. O. Of wood boards or planks for privacy should be located in rear yards and be no taller than six feet. Boards should be no more than six inches wide. P. Privacy fences of flat boards with flat tops in a single row are most appropriate for the historic districts. Vertical boards topped with lattice or picket are also appropriate as privacy fences.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval if the following conditions are met:

1. The fence is in the Classic (preferable) or Genesis style. 2. That the finial shall be of the Triad style (preferable) and placed at every other picket. 3. That ball caps are placed at major newel posts such as at each side of the gates and at the corners of the property. The remaining newel posts shall have the standard post cap. 4. That the gates (single and double) shall be in the arched style in the same style as the proposed fence. 5. The fence is no more than 42 inches high at front and side yards. 6. The fence is painted black.

If the applicant seeks to repair the existing fence; or remove the fence completely, this may be approved over the counter.

Posts shall be set in concrete footers per manufacturers recommendation (Note: In some cases, local restrictions of freezing weather conditions may require a greater depth). The “Earthwork” and “Concrete” sections of this specification shall govern material requirements for the concrete footer. Posts setting by other methods such as plated posts or grouted core-drilled footers are permissible only if shown by engineering analysis to be sufficient in strength for the intended application.

3.03 FENCE INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE When cutting/drilling rails or posts adhere to the following steps to seal the exposed surfaces; 1) Remove all metal shavings from cut area. 2) Apply custom finish paint matching fence color. Failure to seal exposed surfaces per steps 1 & 2 above will negate warranty. Ameristar spray cans or paint pens shall be used to finish exposed surfaces; it is recommended that paint pens be used to prevent overspray. Use of non-Ameristar parts or components will negate the manufactures’ warranty.

Staff Comments Meeting Date: May 9, 2017 Property Address: 1028 Douglas Avenue Property Owners: Tom Rydell

Exhibit A: Aerial Map Exhibit B: Current Photos Exhibit C: Inventory Form - Contributing Exhibit D: COA Application Exhibit E: Submitted Specifications

Project Background:

The applicant has submitted a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to replace four, fixed, metal basement windows with aluminum-clad wood windows with simulated divided lites. The proposed window will match closely to the existing storm window design. The windows will not change in size.

The applicant noted that the existing metal windows are in varying condition (poor to fair) and would like to have two of the windows installed as awning windows to allow for more air ventilation into the basement. The other two windows will be proposed to be fixed.

The applicant is also requesting to keep the current configuration of his venting system that is venting out from part of the window located at the rear of the property. The glazing in one of the divided lites was removed to accommodate for the vent. The vent hood on the stove on the first floor is a Jenn-Air downdraft cooktop and the venting would be allowed to be maintained in its current configuration per code due to this type of appliance. The applicant stating that he would prefer to maintain the vent-hood through the window as making a hole in the brick would be intrusive and costly.

Three basement windows can be seen from the public right of way, however, are partially obstructed by vegetation. The remaining basement window proposed to be replaced is located at the rear of the home and is only visible from the alley and partially obstructed from the A/C mechanical system.

Elgin Design Guideline Manual Specifications: Windows A. Which are original should be preserved in their original location, size, and design and with their original materials and numbers of panes (glass lights). B. 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. E. Vinyl extruded windows are not permitted for use in historic districts. F. Which are new should not have snap-on or flush muntins. True divided muntins are preferred over these types of muntins which do not have the same appearance as historic windows. New muntins which are an integral part of the window sash and installed on both sides of the glass are preferable to snap-on simple grilles. G. 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.

Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness as submitted and with the following conditions:

1. That the proposed basement windows shall contain three-simulated divided lites (grilled installed on exterior and interior sides of the glazing) and shall fit the width of the original window opening. 2. That the proposed basement window containing the vent shall have two- simulated divided lites and the area where the third light would be will contain a metal panel for the vent. If possible, the vent location shall be flipped so that it is hidden by the A/C mechanical unit and that the portion of the window could be seen from the street. 3. Window glass shall not be tinted.
