I. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 201 Williams Street, East Hill Historic District ― Proposal to Alter Fenestration & Construct
New Basement Entry
Applicant Tom Nix recapitulated the salient details of the proposed project.
Architect Claudia Brenner added there was a late change to the entry stair’s orientation on the drawings,
so the Commission should be referring to the most recent revised drawings (6/10/13). T. Nix noted that
any windows being replaced in the bedrooms that are required to serve as egress windows will be
casement windows, configured to look like double-hung ones.
E. Finegan asked if the second floor north bay had previously had windows, and if so, whether those
windows were being restored. C. Brenner replied she guessed that the bay elements may once have had
windows on each face, but that the blank face of the north bay was being left as-is because of the need
for a closet at this location.
M. McGandy inquired into the nature of the existing first-floor windows. C. Brenner replied most of
them are sliders, installed well after construction of the original building. They would be replaced with
wood double-hung windows.
S. Gibian asked if the porch roof at the new basement entry intersects the bay element. C. Brenner
replied, yes; it is designed so that the steps will be covered.
A. Krishna asked again whether windows would be added to the south-facing bay. Brenner replied, no,
however, some windows would be added to the blank faces of the west-facing bay. A. Krishna asked if
there had been windows in those locations previously, which had been covered up. C. Brenner replied
she is not sure; but she guesses there were windows on all faces of the bay elements originally which
had been removed. C. Brenner stressed that the house has been altered a number of times to adjust the
interior floor plan.

Public Hearing
On a motion by S. Gibian, seconded by McGandy, S. Stein opened the public hearing. There being no
public comments, the public hearing was closed on a motion by D. Kramer, seconded by E. Finegan.
S. Gibian reiterated his concern about the porch roof at the basement entry extending in front of the bay.
He would like to have the architect request the owner consider taking the roof back to where the bay
starts, rather than extending it to cover the stairs. C. Brenner replied she believes the owner would agree
to that change.
S. Gibian asked if the new windows would be trimmed to match the originals located elsewhere on the
building. C. Brenner replied, yes.
The property owner arrived. After consulting with the owner, C. Brenner indicated the owner agreed to
the condition that the roof of the new basement apartment entry porch be reduced in size, so it
terminates prior to intersecting the west bay.
RESOLUTION: Moved by E. Finegan, seconded by M. McGandy.

WHEREAS, the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness is a Type II Action under the New York
State Environmental Quality Review Act and the City Environmental Quality Review
Ordinance for which no further environmental review is required, and
WHEREAS, the applicant has provided sufficient documentation and information to evaluate impacts
of the proposal on the subject property and surrounding properties, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing for the purpose of considering approval of the Application for a
Certificate of Appropriateness was conducted at the regularly scheduled ILPC meeting on
June 11, 2013, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the ILPC has made the following findings of fact concerning the property and the
proposal:
As identified in the City of Ithaca’s East Hill Historic District Summary Statement, the
period of significance for the area now known as the East Hill Historic District is 1830-
1932.
As indicated in the annotated property list from the East Hill Historic District National
Register Nomination, 201 Williams Street was constructed circa 1900. It is an early 20th
century vernacular building that incorporates elements of the Queen Anne style.
Constructed within the period of significance of the East Hill Historic District and
possessing a high level of integrity, the property is a contributing element of the East Hill
Historic District.
The purpose of the proposal is to renovate and reconfigure the interior of the building to
address its deteriorated condition and remedy existing deficiencies.
In consideration of this and all approvals of proposals for alterations, new
construction, or demolition in historic districts, the ILPC must determine that the
proposed exterior work will not have a substantial adverse effect on the aesthetic,
historical, or architectural significance and value of either the landmark or, if the
improvement is within a district, of the neighboring improvements in such district.
In considering architectural and cultural value, the Commission shall consider
whether the proposed change is consistent with the historic value and the spirit of
the architectural style of the landmark or district in accordance with Section 228-5
of the Municipal Code. In making this determination, the Commission is guided by
the principles set forth in Section 228-5B of the Municipal Code, as further
elaborated in Section 228-5C, and by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation, and in this case specifically the following Principles and Standards:
3 of 13
ILPC Minutes
June 11, 2013
Principle #2 The historic features of a property located within, and contributing to
the significance of, an historic district shall be altered as little as possible and any
alterations made shall be compatible with both the historic character of the
individual property and the character of the district as a whole.
Standard #2 The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved.
The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features and spaces that
characterize a property will be avoided.
Standard #9 New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall
not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and
architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
With respect to Principle #2, Standard #2, and Standard #9, the proposed removal of the
non-historic first-floor “bump-out” additions and the replacement of non-historic vinyl
windows on the south and east elevations with new wood egress windows will not
remove distinctive materials and will not alter features and spaces that characterize the
property. The removal and reconstruction in a new location of the existing non-historic
basement entry will not remove distinctive materials and will not alter features and
spaces that characterize the property. The introduction of new window openings on the
blank faces of the west elevation bay will not remove distinctive materials and will not
alter features and spaces that characterize the property.
Also with respect to Principle #2 and Standard #9, the proposed new Marvin Ultimate
wood windows and Simpson wood half-light doors are compatible with the massing, size,
scale, and architectural features of the property and its environment, and the new
basement entry porch is compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural
features of the property and its environment.
RESOLVED, that, based on the findings set forth above, the proposal will not have a substantial
adverse effect on the aesthetic, historical, or architectural significance of the property and
the East Hill Historic District, as set forth in Section 228-5, and be it further,
RESOLVED, that the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission determines that the proposal meets
criteria for approval under Section 228-5 of the Municipal Code, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the ILPC approves the Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness with the
following condition:
The roof of the new basement apartment entry porch will be reduced in size, so that it
terminates prior to intersecting the west bay.

B. 205 Williams Street, East Hill Historic District ― Proposal to Alter Fenestration & Construct
Rear Addition
Applicant Tom Nix recapitulated the salient details of the proposed alterations, noting they are very
similar to the ones in the preceding proposal. He noted that a new two-story addition would replace the
existing one-story addition that is carried on posts at the basement level, which would double the size of
the addition without dramatically increasing its footprint.
E. Finegan asked what kind of siding would be featured on the addition. Owner Pam Johnston replied it
would match the existing siding as closely as possible.
M. McGandy asked how many square feet of stone would be lost at the basement level when the
proposed windows are inserted on the west elevation. C. Brenner replied, approximately 30-50 square
feet. M. McGandy expressed concern with the loss of stone; and he wondered if any alternative
solutions could be devised to retain more of it. P. Johnston indicated she may be able to design the
windows to include a stone above and below, so the three windows would be surrounded by stone rather
than siding as currently proposed. M. McGandy strongly recommended minimizing the loss of stone on
that façade. P. Johnston agreed that would be a good idea and, she believes, quite feasible.
D. Kramer asked the applicant for the rationale for relocating the basement entrance. P. Johnston
replied it would enable her to create another bedroom. D. Kramer added that the project as a whole is a
good upgrade for the building.
S. Gibian asked if the sidewalks between the buildings would be renovated. P. Johnston replied, yes.
S. Gibian observed that the basement door on the north elevation, which will be removed, is actually
one-third of what is likely an early garage door; the windows to the east of this door are actually the
other two-thirds of that door. He noted that it would be preferable if the owner could retain that door for
use elsewhere on the property, perhaps at the new garbage enclosure.
Public Hearing
On a motion by M. McGandy, seconded by D. Kramer, S. Stein opened the public hearing. There being
no public comments, the public hearing was closed on a motion by M. McGandy, seconded by S.
Gibian.

As indicated in the annotated property list from the East Hill Historic District National
Register Nomination, 205 Williams Street was constructed circa 1905. It is an early 20th
century vernacular building that incorporates elements of the Colonial Revival style.
Constructed within the period of significance of the East Hill Historic District and
possessing a high level of integrity, the property is a contributing element of the East Hill
Historic District.
The purpose of the proposal is to renovate and reconfigure the interior of the building to
address its deteriorated condition and to remedy existing deficiencies.
In consideration of this and all approvals of proposals for alterations, new
construction, or demolition in historic districts, the ILPC must determine that the
proposed exterior work will not have a substantial adverse effect on the aesthetic,
historical, or architectural significance and value of either the landmark or, if the
improvement is within a district, of the neighboring improvements in such district.
In considering architectural and cultural value, the Commission shall consider
whether the proposed change is consistent with the historic value and the spirit of
the architectural style of the landmark or district in accordance with Section 228-5
of the Municipal Code. In making this determination, the Commission is guided by
the principles set forth in Section 228-5B of the Municipal Code, as further
elaborated in Section 228-5C, and by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation, and in this case specifically the following principles and Standards:
Principle #2 The historic features of a property located within, and contributing to
the significance of, an historic district shall be altered as little as possible and any
alterations made shall be compatible with both the historic character of the
individual property and the character of the district as a whole.
Standard #2 The historic character of a property will be retained and preserved.
The removal of distinctive materials or alteration of features and spaces that
characterize a property will be avoided.
Standard #9 New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall
not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be
differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and
architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its
environment.
With respect to Principle #2, Standard #2, and Standard #9, the proposed demolition of
the existing non-historic rear addition and its replacement with a new addition in the
same location will not remove distinctive materials and will not alter features and spaces
that characterize the property. The proposed alteration of the basement level fenestration
will not remove distinctive materials and will not alter features and spaces that
characterize the property. Although the existing tri-fold garage door appears to be an
original element, prior alterations and its location relative to the current grade have
7 of 13
ILPC Minutes
June 11, 2013
reduced its visual significance such that the Commission finds it is not a character-
defining feature. The proposed alteration of the first and second floor level fenestration
on the rear and side elevations will not remove distinctive materials and will not alter
features and spaces that characterize the property.
Also with respect to Principle #2 and Standard #9, the proposed new Marvin Ultimate
wood windows and Simpson wood half-light doors are compatible with the massing, size,
scale, and architectural features of the property and its environment. The proposed two-
story rear addition is compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features
of the property and its environment.
RESOLVED, that, based on the findings set forth above, the proposal will not have a substantial
adverse effect on the aesthetic, historical, or architectural significance of the property and
the East Hill Historic District, as set forth in Section 228-5, and be it further,
RESOLVED, that the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission determines that the proposal meets
criteria for approval under Section 228-5 of the Municipal Code, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the ILPC approves the Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness with the
following condition:
The insertion of the three new windows at the basement level on the west elevation will be
undertaken in a manner that will preserve as much of the existing stone, as possible.

C. 204 N. Cayuga Street, DeWitt Park Historic District ― Proposal to Construct Stair & Install
ADA Lift
Applicant Jason Henderson, Real Estate Manager, Travis Hyde Properties, recapitulated the salient
details of the proposed alterations.
S. Gibian expressed a concern with the handicap lift and asked how far it would project past the porch.
J. Henderson replied it would only project about 1 foot, at the most. S. Gibian noted it appears to him
the lift would extend an additional 16 inches because of the ramp extension that is integral to the lift
platform. He asked how much clearance would be needed to access it (it seems as though it would be 72
inches). He is not optimistic there is enough clearance between the porch and the property line to
accommodate the lift. S. Gibian suggested the applicant consider recalculating the dimensions (or
perhaps installing the handicap access in the rear of the building would be a better approach).

L. Truame suggested the Commission temporarily table the ADA lift portion of the application and
proceed with consideration of the stair portion. The applicant could return at a later date to address the
questions raised about the feasibility of the ADA lift proposal.
M. McGandy asked if the applicant could provide more details for the ADA lift. J. Henderson replied
he would be happy to provide further details, and submit more pictures and detailed drawing of how the
lift would operate.
L. Truame noted it may be helpful to have the architect, John Snyder, present that information to the
Commission.
J. Henderson indicated he would also need to consult further with the Building Division about the ADA
lift and the dimensions that would be involved.
Public Hearing
On a motion by D. Kramer, seconded by E. Finegan, S. Stein opened the public hearing. There being no
public comments, the public hearing was closed on a motion by D. Kramer, seconded by E. Finegan.
D. Kramer noted the stairs, which were preliminarily discussed at the May 2013 ILPC meeting, look
nice and their addition seems well-justified based on the documentary evidence presented.
RESOLUTION: Moved by A. Krishna, seconded by M. McGandy.

WHEREAS, by mutual agreement, the review of the proposed ADA lift was tabled until the next
meeting, so that additional information may be gathered, and
WHEREAS, the ILPC has also reviewed the City of Ithaca’s DeWitt Park Historic District Summary
Statement and continuation sheet photographs of the property, and
WHEREAS, the proposed project, as revised by mutual agreement, involves the construction of a stair
at the existing north porch and a new walkway to that porch, and
WHEREAS, the issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness is a Type II Action under the New York
State Environmental Quality Review Act and the City Environmental Quality Review
Ordinance for which no further environmental review is required, and
WHEREAS, the applicant has provided sufficient documentation and information to evaluate impacts
of the revised proposal on the subject property and surrounding properties, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing for the purpose of considering approval of the Application for Certificate
of Appropriateness was conducted at the regularly scheduled ILPC meeting on June 11,
2013, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the ILPC has made the following findings of fact concerning the property and the
proposal:
As identified in the City of Ithaca’s DeWitt Park Historic District Summary Statement,
the period of significance for the area now known as the DeWitt Park Historic District is
identified as 1820-1930.
As indicated in information contained in the files of the City of Ithaca Planning Division,
204 N. Cayuga Street was designed in the Queen Anne style by noted local architect John
Wilgus for Charles A. Ives. Completed in 1893, the building was originally a double
house, divided into a north and a south unit.
Constructed within the period of significance of the DeWitt Park Historic District and
possessing a high level of architectural integrity, the property is a contributing element of
the DeWitt Park Historic District.
As described in the Certificate of Appropriateness Application, the purpose of the
proposal is to create a second entrance to the first floor of the building.
In consideration of this and all approvals of proposals for alterations, new
construction or demolition in historic districts, the ILPC must determine that the
proposed exterior work will not have a substantial adverse effect on the aesthetic,
historical or architectural significance and value of either the landmark or, if the
improvement is within a district, of the neighboring improvements in such district.
In considering architectural and cultural value, the Commission shall consider
whether the proposed change is consistent with the historic value and the spirit of
10 of 13
ILPC Minutes
June 11, 2013
the architectural style of the landmark or district in accordance with Section 228-5
of the Municipal Code. In making this determination, the Commission is guided by
the principles set forth in Section 228-5B of the Municipal Code, as further
elaborated in Section 228-5C, and by the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for
Rehabilitation, and in this case specifically the following principles and Standards:
Standard #1 A property shall be used for its intended historic purpose or be placed
in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the
building and its site and environment.
Principle #2 The historic features of a property located within, and contributing to
the significance of, an historic district shall be altered as little as possible and any
alterations made shall be compatible with both the historic character of the
individual property and the character of the district as a whole.
Standard #4 Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired
historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
Standard #6 Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced.
When the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the
new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities,
and where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be
substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
With respect to Standard #1, the proposed new use for the building requires the
construction of an entry stair at the north porch. This alteration returns the building to a
documented prior configuration, and preserves the defining characteristics of the
building, and its site and environment.
With respect to Principle #2, the addition of the proposed north entry stair and walkway
alters the historic features of the property as little as possible. The proposed alterations
are compatible with the character of the property and the district as a whole.
With respect to Standard #4, the removal of the original entry stair at the north porch
appears to have occurred at the end of, or outside, the district’s period of significance.
The current appearance of the porch, absent its entry stair, has not acquired historic
significance in its own right.
With respect to Standard #6, the existence of an entry stair at the north porch has been
substantiated by pictorial and archival evidence. The appearance of this stair and entry
door is assumed to have mimicked the appearance of the south stair and door. Basing the
appearance of the new work at the north porch on the appearance of surviving historic
features at the south porch will result in a new feature that matches the old in design,
color, texture, and other visual qualities.
