Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Jill M. Connors, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Proposed Downtown Rehabilitation Grant Award for 701 Bluff Street DATE: October 8, 2020 INTRODUCTION This memo presents for your concurrence a project selected for a rehabilitation grant award for FY2021. BACKGROUND The Downtown Rehabilitation Loan Program provides several incentives from the Economic Development Department for the rehabilitation of historic buildings in our greater downtown. This program has had a positive impact on the appearance and livability of our downtown, which leads to a more attractive business and residential environment. The Economic Development Department also finds these programs to be great tools for attracting and retaining a quality workforce for our businesses. DISCUSSION For this property, staff have perFormed a "Good Neighbor Inquiry" with Building Services, Engineering, Finance, Health, Housing, Legal, Planning, Police, Public Works, and Utility Billing for any concerns based on these or other properties owned by the applicant. The Good Neighbor Inquiry on this owner and property produced no issues. Application received August 20, 2019 for the Fa�ade Grant and Planning & Design Grant. The building owner, Ken Lin, plans to create a Dumpling Factory & Brewery restaurant in the building. The work depicted and described in Lin's application were reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission on June 18, 2020. Funding these fa�ade and Planning & Design Grants would align with the City Council's goal of Vibrant Community: Healthy and Safe. I recommend funding the Farade Grant and the Planning & Design Grant for a combined $19,000 maximum from CIP 2411942. The funds for this project were encumbered in FY20. There is no impact to the current FY21 budget. RECOMMENDATION/ ACTION STEP I recommend approval of the proposed grant award in the amount detailed above. 2 Prepared by: Jill Connors, Economic Development, 1300 Main Street, Dubuque IA 52001, 563 589-4393 Return to: Jill Connors, Economic Development, 1300 Main Street, Dubuque IA 52001, 563 589-4393 RESOLUTION NO. 318-20 APPROVING A GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA AND K&L LEASING, LLC FOR THE REDEVELOPMENT OF 701 BLUFF STREET Whereas, K&L Leasing, LLC has applied to the Economic Development Department for a Facade Grant and a Planning & Design Grant (the Grants) for the rehabilitation of property at 701 Bluff Street in the City of Dubuque, Iowa (the Project); and Whereas, the Project is eligible for the Grants; and Whereas, it is the determination of the City Council that approval of the Grant Agreement for redevelopment of the Property by K&L Leasing, LLC, according to the terms and conditions set out in the Grant Agreement, is in the public interest of the City of Dubuque.

Healey �uplex{Sommer says Gearge W Heaiey as does Dubug�e of T�day3. Or�ginai Qwn�rlBuilder: H�ai�y built a twn-s#ory dwel(ing with Mansard rnaf at tl�� h�ad of 7`� Str�et nn Bluff for�2,Od0 in 1888 (Herald, ❑ecemt�er 23, 1888}. Building History: Healey was a clerk for Christman& Healey as o� 1893 and resided here. George W. Healy and the J. R. Goadrich Esta�e owned this prope�ty wh�n if was sewered (June 14, ��n2�. The south half at least was ovuner-occupied as ofi'[955, with a vacant second Floor. Lavina 5teinbach orrvned 7p3 fvr 35 years as of 1955. She sald i# in 19�2. She ren�ed sleeping raoms for$S.00Q�eek[y. 1899 directary lists G. W. Healy at 701; A.L. Pizer andMrs..I. Hyde at 7Q3. The report lists the structure as a contributing building, eligible for the National Register under criterion C, stating the property has distinctive architectural characteristics. Staff Analysis: The applicant Ken Lin, of K & L Leasing LLC, is seeking approval through a Certificate of Appropriateness for restoration work on the street fa�ade and replacement of a pre-1950 addition along the rear, south fa�ade. Improvements include repair of existing wood windows and casements, trim repair, and re-pointing the farade. The applicant has opted to repair as possible and replace when necessary, proposing that rear and south farade toward the rear utilizing aluminum clad if replacement is needed. An addition towards the rear on the south fa�ade is proposed, with a balcony above. The new addition is diminutive to the existing structure and is built over the footprint of an existing addition. The new structure uses sympathetic design with clapboarding and dentil molding, with contemporary materials. The applicant seeks to utilize a Fa�ade Grant through the City's Economic Development Department for the project. The Commission is charged with evaluating the applicant's request on its own merit, in relationship to the Architectural Guidelines. Relationship to Architectural Guidelines: (page numbers are referenced as appropriate and an excerpt of the guidelines are attached: Cover, Pages 11, 14-15, 18-21). Also included is the City of Dubuque's Window Adopted Policy. Which Areas are Most Sensitive to Preserve? (pg. 11) For most historic resources, the front wall is the most important to preserve intact. Alterations are rarely appropriate. Many side walls are also important to preserve where they are highly visible from the street. By contrast, portions of a side wall not as visible may be less sensitive to change. The rear wall is usually the least eetinc REPORT.docx STAFF REPORT— Design Review— 701 Bluff Street Page 7 important (excepting free-standing, individual landmarks or certain civic and industrial buildings), and alterations can occur more easily without causing negative effects to the historic significance of the property. This guideline is being followed. The front fa�ade is remarkably intact. The applicant proposes repairing trim, windows, casement and re-pointing as necessary, with replacement only when needed and in-kind with the same size, style, profile, and materials. The new addition and potential replacement windows are set at the rear half of the structure, where the building is recessed from the front half, making the changes less noticeable from the public right of way. General Rehabilitation (pg. 14-15) Policy: Architectural details and features help establish the significance of historic structures and should be preserved. The method of preservation that requires the least intervention is preferred. 1.1 Preserve significant architectural details and features. The project meets this guideline. 1.2Avoid adding elements or details that were not part of the original building. The project does not add details to the main fa�ade of the structure, but does propose an addition with new design. It is clearly a new addition, but is done in a somewhat similar fashion as the removed non-original addition, going back over the same footprint and using similar design (clapboarded with ribbon windows). The structure does not entirely mimic the historic fa�ade, but is sympathetic in design. 1.3 Repair only those features that are deteriorated. The project meets this guideline. HISTORIC BUILDING MATERIALS (pg. 18-22) Policy: Original building materials are key features of historic buildings and should be preserved in place whenever feasible. If the material is damaged, limited replacement to match the original should be considered. Preserving original building materials and limiting replacement to only pieces which are deteriorated beyond repair reduces the demand for, and environmental impacts for the production of new materials. 1.8 Preserve original building materials. (pg. 18) The historic, largely intact fa�ade is being maintained appropriately. Replacement of a non-original addition is done in a way that is sympathetic to the original design. F:\Users\Planning Sec\WP\Commissions\HPC\2020 Meetings\06-18-20 Virtual\701 Bluff�03d 701 Bluff St-STAFF REPORT.docx STAFF REPORT— Design Review— 701 Bluff Street Page 8 Using Alternative Materials on a Historic Structure (pg. 20) The design guidelines sometimes refer to the use of alternative materials when describing the appropriate treatment of historic building features and components such as moldings, windows, siding and other architectural details. The proposed project follows this guideline, in regards to location and use on a new part of the structure. Replacement materials are proposed near the rear of the structure, on a footprint recessed from the main structure. Contemporary materials are proposed for the new addition, which replaces the non-original addition at this location. (Guideline continuation, pg. 21) 1.12 Brick or stone that was not painted historically should not be painted. 1.13 Repair deteriorated primary building materials by patching, piecing-in, consolidating or otherwise reinforcing the material. 1.14 Repoint mortar joints where there is evidence of deterioration. The project meets these guidelines, repairing as possible and replacing when necessary. Re-pointing mortar is specified, as needed. Window Policy (attached) The policy outlines preservation first and replacement in-kind as an alternative, following the same type, size, style, shape and material, especially toward the rear of the structure. Different standards are used for supporting or contributing buildings as opposed to those identified as City/State/National significance, like this structure. The project meets the window policy, focusing on repair of existing historic windows and casements at the front/east and side/south facades. At the rear portion of the side/south, where a new addition is proposed, ribbon windows typical of an enclosed porch are proposed in aluminum clad, which is acceptable for a new addition. Window replacement at the rear/west fa�ade, facing the bluff, is outside the scope of the review because it is not visible from the public right of way. Following our Architectural Guidelines (pg. 11), the Commission should place most importance on the front/east fa�ade, (location A]; the next priority should be on the side/south fa�ade closest toward Bluff Street�location 8]; the last priority should be on the rear portion of the side/south fa�ade, closer toward the bluff�location C]. The Commission does not review that which is not visible from the public right of way, in this case, the rear/west fa�ade facing the bluff�location D]. Role of the Commission: The commission considers each design review on the merits of the individual case, with due deliberation given to each proposed change(s) and its sympathetic relationship to the specific historic setting, architectural or historic significance, extent of previous alteration, use of original materials and quality of design F:\U= 1 Bluff St- REPORT.docx STAFF REPORT— Design Review— 701 Bluff Street Page 9 of the existing structure or site. Commission approval of an alteration or activity does not establish a binding precedent for future commission action, but may constitute an additional factor to be considered in subsequent design reviews involving the same type of alteration or activity. The commission should consider the factors of architectural style, scale, mass, arrangement, texture, materials, and any other pertinent factors. The proposed work must be appropriate for and must restore, preserve, or enhance features of buildings or structures. The proposed work should not adversely affect the exterior architectural features of the building or structure, nor shall the proposed work adversely affect the character or special historical, architectural or aesthetic value of the property and its setting. In determining whether to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Commission should consider whether the proposed activity will have a substantial adverse effect on the aesthetic, historic or architectural significance and value of either the property itself or of the neighboring improvements in a district. The City of Dubuque Architectural Guidelines serves as the standard for that review. An applicant may appeal the commission's action to the city council by filing a notice of appeal with the planning services department within thirty (30) days from the date of notice of the commission's action. Upon filing of a notice of appeal, the planning services department will immediately transmit such notice and the record of the action before the commission to the city clerk. On appeal, the city council will consider only the record of the action before the commission. No new matter may be considered. The city council will consider whether the commission has exercised its powers and followed the guidelines established by law and City Code, and whether the commission's action was patently arbitrary or capricious.

Style/Year: 1888, Queen Anne/Second Empire double house or duplex (former embodied in the orioles and turret caps, the central pavilion, and the classical elements in the friezes, the latter in the attic mansard form. Designer/Builder: Thomas T. Carkeek, architect (Sommer, p. 96; Dubuque of Today, 1897). Physical Description: two-story side gable rectangular plan (30x41, centered two-story rear brickwing, 33x32, matching rear side porches, 14x8) with mansard attic front, twin orioles (second floor base to the top of the attic level) with turret roofs flank a two-story pedimented pavilion. The twin entries are centered and grouped and a partial width pedimented porch with turned posts and bargeboard covers the entry. There is a raised stone foundation and water table. Brick pilasters define the outer corner edges. Brick belt courses (twin and parallel) mark the lintel level on the lower level and the sill level on the upper floor. A rusticated stone belt course marks the base of the parapet. Oversized stone lintels on the main floor cap two picture windows with triple-transom lights. Geometric inlays ornament the oriole spandrels and Classical designs the pavilion and porch pediment fronts. There is a rear wing with south-fronting side porch along the south side. One fireplace in each unit. Alterations: very well preserved. Permits note re-roofings in 1941 (701), 1989 (flat roof), remove and replace rear stairs on brick office 1986, replace stringers office 1992. Landscaping/Setting: level parcel with east-fronting building, hillside at west end likely prevented rear porches, forcing porches to the side of the plan. 8. Narrative Statement of Significance: Special Significance; Edward M. Healey Duplex (Sommer says George W. Healey as does Dubuque of Today). Original Owner/Builder: Healey built a two-story dwelling with Mansard roof at the head of 7th Street on Bluff for$2,000 in 1888 (Herald, December 23, 1888). Building History: Healey was a clerk for Christman & Healey as of 1893 and resided here. George W. Healy and the J. R. Goodrich Estate owned this property when it was sewered (June 14, 1902). The south half at least was owner-occupied as of 1955, with a vacant second floor. Lavina Steinbach owned 703 for 35 years as of 1955. She sold it in 1962. She rented sleeping rooms for$5.000 weekly. 1899 directory lists G. W. Healy at 701; A.L. Pizer andMrs. J.

For most historic resources, the front wall is the most important to preserve intact.Alterations are rarely appropriate. Many side walls are also important to preserve where they are highly visible from the street. By contrast, portions of a side wall not as visible may be less sensitive to change. The rear wall is usually the least important(excepting free-standing, individual landmarks or certain civic and industrial buildings), and alterations can occur more easily without causing negative effects to the historic signifi- cance of the property. , — l 8 B � �� 0 8 � O O , �r O � a e _ � p � --iL r- - Primary FaCade Secondary Wall Rear Wall - - O ,�. - - ---- - � 'ii��•-� , ' `,.... - -"�� $ ' 0 0 = � Q�-� � ____ � � � � , a a _ Primary Fa�ade Secondary Wall Rear Wall � � 4 � � � � ' O ' O ' , � � � O °r � � , � 0 � f � , , � � Primary Fa�ade Secondary Wall Rear Wall Location A.

Introduction 11 General Rehabilitation ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS AND FEATURES Architectural details and features are often closely associated with specific building styles. Reference the Architectural Styles Booklet when determining key features of a historic property. Preserve Guidelines: 1.1 Preserve significant architectural details and features. i�i • Retain and treat exterior architectural details and features, - and other examples of skilled craftsmanship with sensitivity.
