Dear Mr. Heiple,
Your application HDC2019-023 for Infill 18 unit multifamily building, at NE Corner 10th
and Rock Streets will be heard before the Historic District Commission on December 9,
2019. The hearing will be held in the Board Room at City Hall at 500 West Markham on
the second floor. The meeting will begin at 5:00 p.m.
Your application will be item One on the agenda. You or your agent must be present in
order for the item to be heard.
Please follow directions exactly when giving ten days’ notice to all property owners as
stated in the application on page 3 instructions #4 and #5. Use “HDC2019-023” to
complete your mailing labels as shown in the instructions. You may mail your Planning
Commission notice in the same envelope as the HDC notice as long as you meet or
exceed both notice deadlines.
The application form states that “A description of materials for all exterior surfaces listed
above shall be provided to Staff at time of filing. Web site addresses are appropriate but
cut sheets of individual materials are preferred.” Some items are portrayed differently in
the drawings than on the photos submitted. Please clarify in each case, which is the
preferred material. The following information will need to be submitted to Staff by close
of business on November 19, 2019 to complete your filing. If you are not including any

Cover letter: Omitted, please submit.
Height of Building: On the sheets Adjacent Elevations and Street Elevations, how did
you generate the height of the neighboring buildings?
Foundation: List materials, finishes, and height. The shrubbery hides this detail.

show different porch railings versus fences, which are different than the photo provided.
The elevations shown steps in different directions than on the site plan and on the COA
Floor Plans. Please resubmit drawings that match and which drawings to remove from
the application package if any.
Walls: Please state size, material, finish, and model number of any trim boards around
doors and windows. Is this real masonry stucco or EFIS? What is the texture on the
stucco finish? What material is the painted cornice? On the limestone veneer, what is
the thickness of this material? Is IMG_1703 showing the brick and limestone together?
Windows: Specify brand, model number, finish, and size for all windows. The photo
has a 4 over 1 window, where the elevations and quote have a 2 over 2. Which one is
it? Are all windows vinyl? Will you provide a website or cut sheet on these to determine
if they are true divided lite or simulated divided lites?
Doors: Specify brand, model number, finish, and size for all exterior doors. Is this a
solid wood door with six panels? The Site plan on AP.1, the Elevations on AE.1, and
the Color Street elevation, seem to be different versions of the project with them not
matching especially on door placement and porches. Please resubmit drawings that
match and which drawings to remove from the application package if any. Please
submit without trees and shrubs since they hid text and details of the building.
Lighting: Specify location, brand, model number, finish, and size for all exterior lighting
either affixed to building or freestanding. Will there be additional lighting in the surface
parking area? Will there be lighting on the sign?
Gutters: Show locations of gutters on elevations with size and materials of guttering
and downspouts.
Mechanical Systems: State location of any exterior air conditioning/heating system
units.
Satellite Dishes: State location and details on any satellite dish. If not using a dish,
please state so.
Roof: Provide pitch of all roofs and depth of all eaves. Is the flat roof really flat? W hat
is the material for all of the roofing? Is the photo of the Devinci Bellaforte Slate as
stated on the elevations? What is the roofing detail over the windows located in the
dormers (materials)? Are they arch topped dormers? Are you planning on a roof top
terrace with the penthouses, particularly Unit B?
Solar Collectors: Provide details on locations, size, material, and finish.
Fencing on site: Provide details and locations on fencing, height, material, and finish.
How does this fence terminate at the north and east ends? The fence on the elevations
is different than that in the photo submitted. Please specify which one. How tall is the
decorative fence proposed at the north property line? If so, what is it? I see the
American Montage Plus fencing on the elevations but the text is partially obscured by
tree graphic.
Walks/Sidewalks/Drives: Provide information on city sidewalk repair or replacement.
Provide information on any private sidewalks with materials and finish.
Landscaping: Provide details on any wall, planting bed border, or any other fixed inert
building material used in permanent landscaping structures.
Elevations: Submit dimensioned elevations for height and width of all elevations.
Please add overall height and width of elevations.
Signage: Provide details on locations, size, material, and finish of all signs. Is that a
representation of the signage design to be placed at the street corner?
The above list was generated from Sections III - VII in the MacArthur Park Historic
District Guidelines for Rehabilitation and New Construction December 2016. Failure to
provide all information requested above in a complete manner before 5:00 pm
November 19th, will result in a Staff recommendation of Deferral on this application.
