REHABILITATION GRANT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

PROGRAM PURPOSE The Village of Plainfield Rehabilitation Grant Program is designed to encourage owner investment in the exterior rehabilitation and restoration of historically designated residential structures in the Village. The program is intended to provide financial assistance and incentives to owners of local landmarks or contributing properties in a historic district in recognition of the positive impact that individual building improvements can have on the overall appearance, quality, and vitality of the neighborhood and community as a whole. The rehabilitation and maintenance of historic resources will protect the character of the community for years to come. GRANT ELIGIBILITY To be eligible for a Rehabilitation Grant reimbursement, projects must preserve, restore, or rehabilitate the historic character of the structure’s exterior. Rehabilitation for the purpose of this grant means that an effort is being made not only to maintain a historic property in reasonable repair, but to improve, reclaim, and restore historic architectural characteristics that are threatened or have been lost through wear, alteration, or neglect. Additionally, the property must be a designated landmark or located within a designated historic district. Properties with a pending application for landmark or district designation at the time of application are also eligible. An official designation is required to receive grant funding. See the “Grant Reimbursement” section of this document for more information. All projects should reference the new Design Guidelines for Historic Properties and/or the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. The Standards for Rehabilitation can be found online at http://www.cr.nps.gov/hps/TPS/tax/rhb/ or copies of both documents are available in the Planning Division Office. Property owners or tenants who will make at least $1,000 in qualifying improvements are eligible to receive a matching grant. Eligible improvements include, but are not limited to paint and repair, substitute siding removal and rehabilitation of architectural elements. For a full list of qualifying improvements, please see the “Eligible Improvements” section of this document. FUNDING GUIDELINES Grants are available to make certain improvements to a historically designated building. The grant reimburses up to 50% of the total project cost – the reimbursable amount is not to exceed $2,500 per project. Rebates and other forms of economic incentives may be utilized as part of the grant reimbursement at the Village’s discretion. Funding amount can be influenced by the scope of the project, facade orientation, and other factors.

Rehabilitation Grant Program Description Page #2 of 5

Approved 9/18/2006

Grants may be awarded to applicants for residential properties up to two times in a calendar year. If awarded, the sum of the grant amounts may not exceed the maximum grant allowance. Should an applicant own multiple designated properties, they may apply for the Rehabilitation Grant Program twice per calendar year for each parcel. While architectural services by a licensed architect are encouraged, they are not required to participate in the program. If the Village approves the project, the architect may provide bidding and construction plans and documents, as well as construction supervision. Only architectural services directly related to the approved improvements will be reimbursed. APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS Interested parties should schedule a pre-application meeting with staff at (815) 439-2824 prior to preparing any materials for submittal. Following said meeting, the applicant may complete and submit a grant application form, available on the Village’s website or in the Planning Division office. Submittal requirements are set forth on the application form. In addition, staff may request material samples to gain a better understanding of the proposed colors. Information provided by the applicant will be used as the basis for preparation of the staff report to the Historic Preservation Commission. The Village retains the right to approve an entire request, to approve portions of a request, suggest and/or ask for changes/additions to a request before approving, or to deny any request or portion thereof. Staff will prepare a report offering a brief introduction to the project, a review of the various aspects of the proposal, and a suggested recommendation based on an evaluation of the proposed work against the Village’s Design Guidelines for Historic Properties. The report will then be presented to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) for review and then forwarded to the Village Board for approval. Every project will be evaluated for the historic or architectural significance of the structure, extent/scope of work proposed, impact to the streetscape, and occupant. The staff report will be presented and consider various aspects in the following method: 1. Introduction to the project and proposal 2. Analysis of proposal

a. Historic or Architectural Significance i. Service use of the building

ii. Historic significance (Historic significance will be based on the landmark/district nomination or designation, inclusion of

Date of Construction and all modifications or alterations over time, as well as the historic resources surveys available in the Planning Division.)

b. Extent/scope of work proposed i. Discuss each aspect of the project

(Utilize photographs and descriptions submitted by the applicant to explain and evaluate the project. Projects that intend to reconstruct missing historic elements are required to submit evidence of such element.)

Approved 9/18/2006

ii. Evaluate adherence to the Design Guidelines for Historic Properties (residential Section). (Available for purchase at the Village or on-line at www.plainfield-il.org).

c. Contribution to improving the streetscape i. Building location/visibility

ii. Impact on block/neighborhood d. Occupancy (owner-occupied vs. rental unit)

3. Summary a. Highlight desirable or unique aspects b. Funding proposal

4. Recommendation In most cases, applications will require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) in addition to any applicable building permits, filed in conjunction with this application. See Planning Staff for requirements for COAs. – moved here PROCESSING TIMELINES Upon receipt of a complete application, with all required attachments, a petition will be scheduled for the next available HPC meeting, typically within thirty (30) days of receipt of completed submittals. The HPC meets the second and fourth Thursday of each month. Once the HPC has made a recommendation and any appropriate revisions, the Historic Preservation Commission will prepare a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) which will include a Letter of Agreement that will outline those recommendations and revisions that will be agreed upon and signed by all parties and the petition will be scheduled for a Village Board meeting. The Village Board meets in regular session the first and third Monday of each month. Upon Village approval, the applicant and Village will enter into a formal agreement, called a Rehabilitation Grant Agreement, establishing the scope of work and approved reimbursement amount. The Agreement is signed by the Village and the applicant, after the Village Board has approved the project. Grant project work may commence after the Agreement is signed and necessary building permits are obtained. All work completed under the Rehabilitation Grant Program is to be skillfully performed using appropriate materials approved by the Village. The work is to be conducted, installed and completed to secure the results intended by the Historic Preservation Ordinance. The Village has the authority to reject work not completed using the acceptable materials or standards of workmanship. Upon notification by the owner that the work is entirely complete, the Village will inspect and notify the owner of any incomplete or defective work. The property owner will be required to take immediate steps to remedy such deficiencies. GRANT REIMBURSEMENT If costs exceed the original estimates, the property owner or tenant will be responsible for the full amount of the excess. The Village cannot reimburse more than the total amount specified in the Agreement. Any work commenced prior to Village Board approval and signing of the Rehabilitation Grant Agreement will not be eligible for reimbursement funding. The applicant

If the applicant is doing his/her own labor, funding will be reimbursed only for material costs. Reimbursement grants are subject to Federal and State taxes, and are reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099. Property owners and tenants should consult their tax advisor for tax liability information. ELIGIBLE IMPROVEMENTS

History (associated events, people, dates)Assessor’s Subdivision. Appears on the 1893 Sanborn map, the earliest Sanborn for the Village. Shown as #502 - 502,with the 2 story Upright and 1.5 story wing. The house was set in very close proximity to the west lot line. The Uprighthad an entrance porch, as is extant. The wing had a full-elevation reentrant angle porch. Both sections of the buildinghad one story rear wings. A large rectangular 2 story carriage barn was near the NE/rear lot corner on the east lot line,#503-1/2, which together with the two 1 story outbuildings, occupied much of the width of the rear lot. The propertyremained unchanged on the 1898 and 1912 Sanborn maps, but by the 1931 Sanborn, the carriage barn had beenremoved. Nearby, an unusually long rectangular 1 story garage had been constructed, adjacent to what appears to be theeasternmost of the earlier outbuildings, which had been converted into a garage. The smaller west side outbuilding hadbeen removed. This remained intact on the 1944 Sanborn map, with the address change to 623 being implemented. DescriptionRandom limestone foundation; synthetically sided walls (wide gauge white); asphalt shingle deteriorated gable roof. 2 and1.5 stories; L-shaped facade; 6 facade bays; 3 elevation piles. Left Upright in Side Hall Plan form, made Temple form viadeep cornice returns in a unique vernacular and stylistic pattern within the Village. Two 1/1 double-hung sash, then doorin right/east bay. Gable hood with Italianate brackets over Upright entrance. Raised concrete stoop; iron open rail oneither side. Two 1/1 double-hung sash on 2nd story. Plain cornice. Bulkhead door right/east elevation. Blind bay alongstaircase location, east side of Upright in typical Side Hall Plan form. Deeply recessed wing to east with three bays: paired1/1, middle door with deep gable hood, and single 1/1. Upper story with frieze windows altered to gable wall dormers withsingle 1/1. Front/south of west wall blind. Mixed single 1/1 to rear. Low 1 story rear gable wing, historic as shown onSanborn maps; shed extension off wing also appears to be historic. Rear of Upright also with deep cornice returns.

Significance statement: This is an OUTSTANDING residence, combining Greek Revival influence and an Upright andWing vernacular house type. Additionally, the minor influence of the Italianate style is expressed through the Upright’sentrance hood with Italianate brackets. Of particular significance and completely unmatched in the Village is that theUpright form is a Side Hall Plan house, another vernacular form; with the application of Greek Revival influence, the SideHall Plan/Upright section, becomes a Temple form, which is also unique, if not unmatched, in the Village. With thecollective significance of the Greek Revival style in the Village, this building easily ranks among the top 5 significanthouses within the Early Settlement Thematic and should be a top priority to protect with landmark status. Given the highsignificance of this house, it should be considered for landmarking despite the synthetic siding. VP, Comm, VG&Comm,AA; EST.

Plainfield Historic Preservation Awards

The Plainfield Historic Preservation Commission is looking to honor local property owners who have made significant improvements while maintaining the historic character of their buildings within the Village’s historic core, the downtown property owners or other residents through a set of Preservation Awards. Properties eligible for these Awards for Historical Preservation should be at least 50 years old or designated as historic by the Village of Plainfield and will be accepted through April 1 and presented during Preservation Month which is celebrated during the month of May. The Commission has designated that awards be selected from these categories:

1. Rehabilitation of the Year: This award would be presented in recognition of an outstanding effort to restore or rehabilitate the exterior of a structure in a manner fitting its historic character while adhering to Plainfield’s restoration guidelines* and contributing to the preservation of Plainfield’s history. Entries will be judged on the extent to which the exterior rehabilitation/restoration is in keeping with the structure’s historic character. *References the Secretary of Interior Standards 2. Architectural Compatibility: This award would be presented in recognition of an outstanding effort to construct a new structure in an architectural style and scale that contributes to the preservation of Plainfield’s historic neighborhoods. Entries will be judged on their compatibility with existing streetscapes, in terms of architectural style and scale. 3. Architectural Details: This award would be presented in recognition of an outstanding effort to restore an exterior detail element of a structure in a manner fitting its historic character and contributing to the preservation of Plainfield’s history. Examples of exterior detail elements would include but are not limited to porches, leaded glass windows, cornice work, or decorative fencing. Entries will be judged on the compatibility of the element with the historic character of the home or building. 4. Landscape /Streetscape : Recognizing that historic preservation and the creation of functioning outdoor spaces complement each other in saving our past and future resources, the Historic Preservation Commission and the “Green Village” programs seek applicants for this award. Residents who have created unique or distinctive outdoor spaces that enhance their property or inspired outdoor projects that owners have finished to showcase their historic structure and/or retail commercial landscapes may be cited.

Entries in each category may include: • Residential single family homes • Multi-unit buildings, such as apartments or condominiums • Commercial buildings such as shops, banks or restaurants • Institutional buildings such as assisted living facilities or schools • Streetscape Design • Retail Commercial Landscapes • Historic site Landscapes

Village residents are encouraged to nominate projects of special interest in their neighborhoods and homeowners or builders interested in applying for awards may also self-nominate. To nominate a structure, please use the nomination form included with this packet.

Replacing missing features and removing inappropriate modernizations can go a long way toward restoring a home’s original appearance.

Guidelines for Historic Preservation

Guidelines are primarily concerned with front facades and other readily visible features. The rears of buildings, less in the public eye, are more flexible and recommended for alterations or additions. Our goal is to help you make smart choices: to provide a flexible set of criteria that can balance personal needs with construction or renovation projects that complement the characteristics of a historic neighborhood and respect the styles of adjacent properties. Plainfield's guidlines are based on the U.S. Secretary of the Interior: Guidelines for Repair, Rehabilitation and

Alteration. Broadly speaking, these guidelines will help property owners preserve, renovate or build structures that are compatible with historic buildings – and guarantee that a structure’s character-defining elements are retained. Keys include:

• Retain and repair, rather than replace, a home’s original parts and materials, whenever possible.

• Replace parts and materials in kind, when necessary. • If replacement in kind simply isn’t possible, it is best to replicate the appearance of the

original part or material as closely as possible. • Modern parts or materials can be smart choices – but incorporate them with sensitivity to a

building’s original architectural style.

Historic Preservation in Plainfield

The Plainfield Historic Preservation Commission seeks to help preserve our village’s historic character. We see local landmarks as critical to this cause, both of free-standing buildings with historic or architectural merit and of well-defined landmark districts within historic neighborhoods.

Plainfield’s Historic Preservation Guidelines are designed to help you make appropriate choices – especially as a first step toward seeking a landmark designation. They are intended to help property owners who have an interest in maintaining their historic homes or other buildings, caring for structures situated within historic areas, considering streetscape-compatible additions to their properties, or are planning new construction. But first, read below for additional information regarding historic character, benefits of historic preservation, architectural styles within the Village and landmarking.

Plainfield’s oft-referred to “historic character” encompasses an eclectic range of building styles for people with different tastes, incomes and lifestyles. In 2005, representatives from ArchiSearch Historic Preservation Consultants conducted a historic resources survey of over 750 properties in Plainfield’s Historic urbanized core containing architecturally significant residential and commercial buildings within a defined range in the older historic neighborhoods around downtown.

Benefits of Historic Preservation

The HPC urges property owners to renovate rather than replace historic properties. We fear that Plainfield’s character could be lost to this teardown trend. Historic preservation serves a variety of interests in our community. Some of these include:

• Residents and prospective home buyers seeking homes with traditional quality and historic charm.

• Neighborhoods hoping to preserve historic ambiance while welcoming compatible new construction.

• Economic developers and tourists attracted to Plainfield’s blend of convenience and historic charm.

• New business owners deciding where to locate and drawn by the sense of character and place that underlie our vibrant commercial and residential centers.

And significantly, historic preservation can benefit you. These guidelines may encourage you to become more familiar with your property’s architectural style and the materials and construction that were common to its time. Many people enjoy this learning process and find it rewarding to have true knowledge of their buildings’ histories.

Plainfield's Architectural Styles

The following provides a highlight of the architectural styles and vernacular building types which are most commonly found in the Village’s older historic and architecturally significant neighborhoods:

• Greek Revival (1825-1865) • Gothic Revival (1830-1880) • Romanesque Revival (1850-1880) • Italianate (1850-1890) • Hall and Parlor (1845-1895) • Side Hall (1840-1890) • Shingle Style (1885-1890) • I-House (1840-1900) • Upright and Wing (1830-1890) • Gabled Ell (1865-1900) • Queen Anne (1880-1905) • Colonial Revival (1880-1955) • Tudor/English Revival (1910-1945) • Pyramidal Cottage (1890-1910) • Cape Cod Cottage (1925-1955) • American Foursquare (1905-1930) • Gable Front (1865-1900) • Craftsman/Arts & Crafts (1905-1930) • Bungalow (1905-1940) • Dutch Colonial Revival (1900-1945) • Prairie (1900-1920) • Mediterranean (1915-1945) • Ranch (1940-1980) • Tri-Level (1950-1980)

Landmarking

The purpose of landmarking is to identify, preserve, protect, enhance and encourage the continued use and care of areas, districts, places, buildings, structures, works of art and other objects within the village that express a special historical, community, architectural or aesthetic interest to the village and its citizens. Other benefits to landmark include, but are not limited to:

• Honoring our historic and cultural heritage as embodied and reflected by designated Plainfield landmarks

• Encouraging civic pride in the beauty and accomplishments of the past. • Preserving the character and vitality of village neighborhoods and the central business

district. • Encouraging public participation in identifying and preserving historical and

architectural resources through public hearings on proposed designations, building permits and economic hardship variations.

Studies across the country have also documented numerous economic benefits associated with landmarking a property or historic district.
