1. Roll Call.

Mr. Hoeschen moved approval, seconded by Ms. Clendenen-Acosta, of the minutes
of August 5, 2013. There were no objections.
3. 130528 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new
accessible addition on the south elevation of St. Anthony Church at
1711 S. 9th Street in the Mitchell Street Historic District for St. Anthony
Congregation.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Jakubovich gave an overview of the staff report. The proposal is for a new
accessible addition consisting of a new entrance, stairs, elevator, and corridor
replacing the old gangway between the rectory and church buildings on the opposite
side of Mitchell Street. This project replaces the one that was brought to the
Commission about a year ago with the accessible entrance being proposed for the
side on Mitchell Street. There will be a connector between the church and old rectory
building. The addition would be built directly behind the connector and would not be
visible from the street. The addition would essentially fill the gangway between the
church and rectory building. It would not extend beyond the rectory building. The

new entrance would consist of a wall with a door with a glazed entrance, be made of
cream city brick, and have three skylights on top. Staff was concerned that the
stained glass windows would be negatively impacted by water collected between the
church and rectory building, but the architect addressed that concern with a gutter or
trough that would take up the majority of the water runoff. Staff recommended
approval.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved approval, seconded by Mr. Hoeschen, of a Certificate
of Appropriateness for a new accessible addition on the south elevation of St .
Anthony Church at 1711 S. 9th Street in the Mitchell Street Historic District for St.
Anthony Congregation. There were no objections.

4. 130557 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new
storefront at 1329 E. Brady Street in the East Brady Street Historic
District for Mike Lee
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Jakubovich gave an overview of the staff report. The proposal is for the
installation of two double hung aluminum clad windows that are seven feet high and
five and a half feet in width at Malone’s tavern at 1329 E. Brady St. Additionally,
shiplap siding will be installed in place of the stone on the storefront. The building
originally was a one story house in the 1880s. Another floor was put underneath the
house soon after for the purpose of being a store or tavern. It was fairly common for
buildings in this community to be recycled instead of being completely demolished.
Based on a photograph submitted by the applicant depicting the building in the year
1903 or 1904, the storefront appeared to be boxed out with very large plate glass
windows stretched from corner to corner of the building in circa 1903 or 1904 with an
1880s housing upstairs.
Mr. Jakubovich, on behalf of staff, recommended that the proposal be referred back
to staff for further consideration and work with the applicant. The building should
return to its original character as much as possible with original materials used and
use of large storefront windows. The current proposal has siding material lacking the
original design of the building and enough window space. Also, the bulkhead
material should be reconsidered. There are examples of neighboring storefronts in
the area with large storefront windows and original materials used.
Mr. Hoeschen questioned how much staff wanted the windows to increase, if the right
door should be moved to the center of the storefront like how it was originally
positioned, and what glass material currently exists at the storefront?
Mr. Jakubovich replied that the storefront should consist mostly of glass extending
from the ceiling of the first floor to a couple of feet from the bottom of the building,
depending on the height of its flooring, with bulkhead beneath the windows. The
windows should appear to be fixed when closed and may swing open. Double hung

COMMISSION
windows are present only in upper levels for housing purposes in the district, are not
usually for commercial use, and should not be used for the storefront. The right door
does not need to be moved to the center. Staff does not have knowledge of the
glass material on the current storefront window.
Ald. Bauman concurred with staff that the current proposal is not satisfactory. He
added that the proposal is not much of an improvement to the building. The applicant
should save money for something better and closer to the original storefront.
Mr. Jarosz agreed with staff. The renovation should be more consistent with other
buildings and the guidelines in the area. Perhaps a proposal with proper trims,
board, and detail would approximate the look of the 1903 storefront. A revised
proposal would not necessary be more expensive. A sign board instead of a clap
board going all the way to the top of the light should be used.
Ms. Clendenen Acosta said that there are options for opening the windows in the
front of the tavern while maintaining the historic character of the building.
Josh Malone, building owner, appeared and gave comments. The proposed double
hung windows are seven feet high to almost the floor of the tavern with a foot step on
the inside. The windows would be just underneath a two feet high sign. Seven feet
is the maximum height of the windows that can be installed. The ceiling height is
about 9 feet on the inside. One would have to take five or six steps before entering
the tavern in the front. The bottom of the double hung windows would be at the floor
on the inside. The purpose of the double hung windows is to have the windows slide
open for tavern patrons to look outward into Brady Street from the inside. The
purpose of the windows is not for air flow. There would be chairs and a drink rail in
the front by these windows. The windows would only be open from the top of the
drink rail to the sign. Due to potentially hitting patrons seated outside of the tavern at
the front, the windows would not swing open but slide down instead. There would be
plexiglass or a covered part installed between the bottom portions of the windows
and the drink rail.
Ald. Bauman said that people at the drink rail will kick at the bottom portion of the
drink rail towards the bottom half of the windows.
Mr. Jakubovich said that a seven foot high window was not typical.
Ald. Nik Kovac, 3rd aldermanic district, appeared and gave comments. He has had
conversations with Mr. Malone. The two big issues are the size of the windows and
materials around the edges of the windows. He agreed with staff to get the windows
as large as possible like others in the area. There is a proportion issue that was not
discussed. The proposed siding to the storefront to match the upper level does not
look right. He would like to encourage the applicant to work with staff to get a better
proposal.
Ald. Bauman moved to refer back to staff, seconded by Mr. Hoeschen, the Certificate
of Appropriateness for a new storefront at 1329 E. Brady Street in the East Brady
Street Historic District for Mike Lee. There were no objections.
A motion was made by ALD. BAUMAN, seconded by Brad Hoeschen, that this
Resolution be HELD IN COMMITTEE. This motion PREVAILED by the following

5. 130558 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness to retain metal
windows with grids that were denied earlier by the Historic
Preservation Commission at 124 W. Lloyd St. in the Brewers Hill
Historic District for John Dorsey.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Jakubovich gave an overview of the staff report. The proposal is to retain metal
windows and grids for the house at 124 W. Lloyd St. This proposal, other exterior
work, and a proposed new garage were brought before the Commission once before.
At that time, all exterior work on the house had occurred before any permits or
Certificates of Appropriateness were granted. Since then, a lot of remediation work
has occurred. The rough siding that had been installed in place of smooth siding has
now been replaced with smooth siding. Some new trims and seals have been
installed. One thing that the Commission was very specific about then was the
removal of the metal clad windows with grids in between the glass. The grids cannot
be removed from the windows. The grid windows appear flat, are not historically
proper for the house, are not seen in the district, and have been installed all around
the house. Staff is concerned with the window’s grids and metal material . There are
no wood sashes. The house is of Stick Style and Queen Anne Transitional designs .
There is a Stick Style house next door that has windows with no grids. Buildings
throughout Brewers Hill have all retained its original wood sash or have had new
wood sash replacements when deemed absolutely necessary. Staff has not
approved any grid windows or metal windows for any residential use. Brewers Hill
Association has submitted a written a letter in favor of upholding the guidelines of the
district. Staff recommends that the guidelines be upheld.
Ald. Bauman asked what work had been approved and what work had not been
approved with Certificates of Appropriateness for the subject house ?
Mr. Jakubovich replied that there was neighborhood concern with the work being
done at the site without permits or Certificates of Appropriateness in late 2011 . The
matter came before the Commission for the first time in November 2011.
Ms. Hatala said that staff discovered the exterior work done at the house during a
visit to the site to take pictures in response to the applicant applying for a Certificate
of Appropriateness for a new garage. The windows were installed already at that
time.
Mr. Hoeschen said that he has seen the house, and the windows there are wood with
metal mullions. He asked staff if staff would not recommend any type of grids?
John Dorsey, owner of the subject property, appeared and gave comments. The
windows have always been double hung wood windows and not metal windows. The
metal part of the windows is in between the glass.
Mr. Jakubovich said that the windows are still the wrong kind of windows and are
unacceptable even if they were of wood and not metal. Staff was informed that the
windows were all metal. There should be no grids at all in the windows.
Ald. Bauman said that he concurred with staff’s view that the windows are

COMMISSION
inappropriate. He added that the deed would have stated the historic status of the
house.
Mr. Dorsey said that he first learned of the requirement for a Certificate of
Appropriateness for the house renovations and his garage when he applied for a
garage permit. His permit for the garage wasn’t issued due to the requirement for a
Certificate of Appropriateness. He bought the house in May 2012. His title and
closing paperwork did not disclose that the property was designated historic. He
does not want to do the work twice since he had already purchased all his materials.
The story presented by staff today was not exactly the way how things transpired.
The application is to replace or to add wood style grids on the outside of the windows.
There are windows with grids on the same style houses across the street and two
doors down.
Mr. Jakubovich said that the house across the street is an Arts and Crafts style house
with a very different kind of grid pattern. He added that Mr. Dorsey would have been
informed about the historic designation of the house if he would have applied for a
permit before doing the window replacements. This kind of work, even if not historic,
requires a permit.
Ald. Bauman inquired if window replacements ordinarily required a permit?
Mr. Jakubovich responded. Strict window replacements with no changes in the
opening did not require any permits. Window replacements with changes in opening
size, number of windows, and structural changes to the wall requires a permit
anywhere in the City.
With Mr. Dorsey’s home, some windows around the house stayed generally the
same; however, some windows were structurally changed such as ones with new
headers.
Mr. Dorsey said that all the windows on the house are the same size as the openings,
he measured the old windows before purchasing the home, he never changed the
sizes of the windows, and the new header in the front façade was a replacement of
an existing header that was rotten.
Ms. Clendenen Acosta said that she recalled the header being in place in the front
façade from the previous Commission meeting on the matter.
Mr. Hoeschen asked what exactly did Mr. Dorsey want in his application?
Mr. Dorsey replied that he wanted to install wood muntins on the exterior of the
windows. He has spent about $3,000 and cannot replace the current grid glass with
clear glass. His application is for wood windows and no metal windows.
Ald. Bauman said that installing wood muntins on the exterior of the windows is
worse since the muntins can fall off. He added that the windows should be properly
done from the beginning rather than having cost driven compromises that do not last
very long.
Mr. Jarosz said that the matter should be held over to the next month to allow Mr.
Dorsey to work with staff to find a solution. The subject house is closer to the Stick
Style house next door. The windows should have sash without fake muntins.
Ms. Clendenen Acosta said that the applicant asked for three things in his application :
the windows, a retaining wall, and a fence.
City of Milwaukee Page 5
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes September 9, 2013
COMMISSION
Mr. Hoeschen asked why staff did not have a recommendation on a fence and
retaining wall in its report?
Mr. Dorsey said that his application described the windows, fence, and a retaining
wall. He added that he submitted a letter referencing a drawing that was submitted in
the past and was told by the Commission to come back with the retaining wall if he
still wanted to do it.
Mr. Jakubovich said that a privacy fence can be done at the staff approval level if
there was a description of it. The retaining wall is at the pleasure of the Commission
and was glossed over in the past by the Commission. Staff does not have any
details or drawings of the retaining wall as part of the file. The recommendation in
the past was not to have a retaining wall.
Mr. Jarosz said that the information about the retaining wall is lacking in the
application file and needs to be submitted officially for the record. He added that the
applicant can pull the retaining wall information apart from the proposed windows and
work with staff.
Mr. Hoeschen said that the applicant should continue to work with staff to find a
solution rather than starting over with a denial decision by the Commission. He
added that the situation has not gone smoothly and could have been handled better
by the applicant.
Mr. Hoeschen moved to hold, seconded by Ms. Clendenen Acosta, of a Certificate of
Appropriateness to retain metal windows with grids at 124 West Lloyd Street in the
Brewers Hill Historic District for John Dorsey. There were no objections.
