4 Staff Report Community & Economic Development Department To: Members of the Preservation Commission From: Planning & Redevelopment Division Subject: West End Settlement at th Avenue Case: Date: October 17, 2018 Applicable Guidelines and Regulations Sec Certificate of Appropriateness Staff Comments An application for a certificate of appropriateness was submitted by Wilbert Samuels, owner of the West End Settlement at th Avenue. This 1908 building is a mix of styles: Prairie School, Mission, and Arts & Crafts. The building is horizontal in emphasis, with heavy stone walls on its first floor. Double width windowsills are set into the brick above. Large, simple brackets support the wide-eaves of the hipped roof. Those eaves shelter many gabled dormers. It was designed by local architect George Stauduhar for local philanthropist Susanne Denkmann to provide services to the poor. It had educational, recreational, child care, and bathing facilities as well as offices. The settlement ceased operations in the late 1920s and was donated to the YMCA who then, in 1931, sold it to the Belgian American Brotherhood. During their period of ownership, they built an addition on the western side of the building for a rolle bolle court. In the mid-1970s, the building was sold to a chapter of the Order of the Elks which partially demolished the addition in early 2017 and is now attempting to complete repairs to the remaining portion. This addition contains an entrance vestibule and a mechanical room that would be cost prohibitive to relocate. The proposed action is to complete the rebuilding of the addition on the western side by framing in the walls, applying house wrap (Tyvek), and siding with cement board. The proposed action is in compliance with Sec (d)(2) and (d)(3). The Design Guidelines say Additions that totally mimic an existing structure so that they are indistinguishable from the older construction will not be allowed. As such, its appearance will be appropriate. Furthermore, allowing the addition to remain partially demolished increases the risk of damage to the building from exposure to the elements, so completion of the addition remodel is essential. Planning staff have reviewed the application materials and have no concerns with the proposed project. It is staff s opinion that the proposed work as proposed will comply with the requirements in the Preservation Ordinance. Recommended Motion Move to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the work as outlined in the application for Case

15 Staff Report Community & Economic Development Department To: Members of the Preservation Commission From: Planning & Redevelopment Division Subject: Ralston-Schode House at st Street Case: Date: October 17, 2018 Applicable Guidelines and Regulations Sec Certificate of Appropriateness Staff Comments An application for a certificate of appropriateness was submitted by Matt Stoefen, owner of the Ralston- Schode House at st Street. This 1921 home is two stories with narrow clapboard, low hipped roof, wide eaves, and windows with wide set bands. The horizontal lines of these elements are reminiscent of Prairie style, but many details including the eave brackets, large knee braces, and square lamps are more appropriately Craftsman. A one stall attached garage of the same style is on the south side of the house. The proposed action is to install a new wood fence around the rear yard of the house. The fence will be six feet (6 ) tall with a scalloped top and gothic style posts. The proposed action is in compliance with Sec (d)(2) and (d)(3). Given that the fence is for the rear yard, it is an appropriate scale and size. The choice of wood as its material is also appropriate. Planning staff have reviewed the application materials and have no concerns with the proposed project. It is staff s opinion that the proposed work will comply with the requirements in the Preservation Ordinance. Recommended Motion Move to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness for the work as outlined in the application for Case
