2. 150208 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
construction of a new rooftop structure at 1023 North Old World Third
Street in the Old World Third Street Historic District for Susanne
Mayer.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
The applicant was before the commission earlier for approval of the roof structure.
What was approved was found not to be feasible due to Wisconsin winters. The
current proposal is to set the structure back 33 feet, which means it will be minimally
visible from the street. The height is also lower at 18 feet than was previously
approved. Staff reviewed this and feels that the structure has a very industrial quality
to it and, although minimally visible, it is appropriate to the building. Staff

3. 150370 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal
of a slate roof and re-roofing with asphalt shingles at 2411 N. Sherman
Blvd. in the North Sherman Blvd. Historic District for Judy Maher.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
The Commission reviewed this project on July 14th and asked the applicant to return
with information on roofing costs.
Water is getting into the house from under the roof. Ms. Maher did look at the cost
differential - asphalt costs $300 per square foot and slate costs $600-$800 per
square foot. It would cost approximately $95,000 to install slate on this roof. She
would still like to use asphalt shingles.
Approval subject to conditions set by staff for downspouts and gutters.
A motion was made by Blair Williams, seconded by Marion Clendenen-Acosta,

Ms. Hatala corrected herself that the windows were approved previously.
Brian Woodman - Deep River Partners The retaining wall was approved as part of
the previous file. The applicant is proposing either a copper standing-seam roof or a
copper tile roof and would like permission for both and they would choose which one
at a later date. The staff recommends either copper roof. The copper would be
allowed to patina naturally.
Approval is subject to conditions by staff.

building at 1701 N. Humboldt Ave.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
There have been some changes since the Sept. 28th meeting - balconies have been
recessed even more and the fenestration on the first floor has been altered, some
landscaping changes and some window changes, which staff went through as part of
its presentation. Brady St. has a great variety of buildings, which offer historic clues
on the existing buildings. Staff still recommends disapproval based upon the lack of
clues relating to age of construction, its too regular, lacking in variety and too
rectalingular. It simply lacks variety to the streetscape, per Mr. Doerrfeld. Mr.
Williams said that you will often find a number of homes, such as three, designed by
the same architect and having the same "feel" to them. He sees that in the
townhomes of this development.
Tim Less - Engbert Anderson - architect - tried to make it a building of its time and tie
in to Brady St. with materials, textures and motifs.
Ald. Kovac leaves the decision to this Commission. One of the major issues was
how the corner was emphasized and he thinks the developer has done that fairly
well.
Mr. Williams thinks this is a very expensive building with a lot of structures on it and
he feels comfortable that this building would last a long time and not show its age
quickly and it's constructed with high-quality materials. He does think the horizontal
beam going across the balconies break down what could be a more interesting
massing that is on the other side.
Mark Ernst - Engberg Anderson - architect - the Brady Street facade was broken
down on the horizontal and also incorporated little detail, but still retain the fact that
it's a contemporary building.
To Mr. Williams, the scale seems off as it appears to be a short building on wide piers
- apparently that's due to the screen and the commissioners need to look at the paper
copies for a more accurate view. It could be made more slender, but depth is usually
an asset, per Mr. Less. If that is done, the windows would need to get larger to
match the smaller piers, per Mr. Ernst.
The Chair encouraged staff to mention specific concerns that the architect could
address, such as the spandrels and making the piers more slender.
Pete Ogden thought staff and the developer were on the same page.
Mr. Williams moves approval of this overall as presented, with ongoing modifications
with staff, with this being approved on its face. Mr. Jarozs also leans in favor of this
due to the prominence of the church across the street with further information to staff
on colors and materials, but this is the overall proposal. Mr. Williams moves for
approval as well as working with staff and presentation to the Commission of final
materials and the palette that will be used. Mr. Jarosz seconded and also mentioned
the need for review of lighting, street seating, etc. on both exposed streets. Ms.
Pieper Eiseenbrown and Ms. Keating Kahn are both hesitant to approve it with so
many conditions put on the staff. Ms. Clendenen-Acosta is also concerned with the
number of "maybes" of what could be changed.

8. 150798 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
reconstruction of the entrance walkway and seating areas at 2559 N.
Wahl Avenue in the North Point North Historic District for Daniel and
Marie-Anne Ewig.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Doerrfeld said that the curent proposal includes a seating area and there is
precedent for a front seating area and with the landscaping it will masked from the
street. The fireplace in the rear is also appropriate for the district and the property;
there is also a proposed fence for the backyard with lattice fencing - they are
proposing an eight foot fence, for which they know they need to get a height
variance.
A motion was made by Matt Jarosz, seconded by Blair Williams, that this
Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:

9. 150801 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for porch repairs
at 2908 W. McKinley Blvd. in the Cold Spring Park Historic District for
Brad Thurman.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
The applicant is proposing to repair the porch and is requesting permission to install
prefabricated vinyl posts. The appearance is similar to concrete and the former posts
were square, wood balasters and matched the palasters. The proposed round posts
would not match the palasters. Staff recommnds approval for the repair work, but not
of the fiberglass columns.
Brad Thurman - property owner - his adjacent neighbor and neighbor across the
street both have round posts and they will resemble wood once they're primed and
painted to match the rest of the house. The fiberglass posts do not come in the
square shape.
Mr. Jarosz said the challenge is now how to proceed in a cost-effective manner,
which the owner can work with staff.

in the Cold Spring Park Historic District for Carl Quindel.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
City of Milwaukee Page 5
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes October 19, 2015
COMMISSION
Mr. Doerrfeld said that the applicant is proposing to pave an area 25 feet by 35 feet
for a parking area and the parking area will occupy 30% of the existing open space
on the lot. Staff says the area is overly expansive for the site and he recommends
denial as submitted.
Carl Quindel - property owner - is trying to park 4 cars on the lot as the building is a
3-bedroom duplex. Tenants want to park near the property due to safety concerns.
Strongbox Milwaukee owns the property. There is at least 8-10 feet of grass
between the house and the slab.
There are no neighbors nor the local alderman present on this matter.
Mr. Williams thinks that a two car garage with a two car slab would be approvable
and this is basically 10 feet wider than that would be. Mr. Wllliams suggested making
4 sites that are parking lot size (9 feet by 18 feet) and also using alternative paving
materials. The Commission would like to have it pulled in as much as possible and
look at possible landscaping features. 36 feet by 18 feet is the size of a traditional
parking stall.
Mr. Jarosz moved to approve with conditions that it be tightened up, use creative
paving, and be less obtrusive, possibly through landscaping and the use of curb
stops, etc. Seconded by Mr. Williams.
A motion was made by Matt Jarosz, seconded by Blair Williams, that this
Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:

11. 150803 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
installation of a terrace wall at 2604 N. Lake Drive in the North Point
North Historic District for Diane Dziengel, and Michael and Cindy
Hosale.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Hatala said that the current proposal is to do a low masonry wall to enclose the
terrace area. The top of the terrace wall wil be 40" with a limestone cap to match the
stone on the house and it will be 5.5 feet from the sidewalk. The applicant would like
to put in expansion joints as well. The applicant has also proposed down lights that
will shine on the sidewalk. The work has begun as there was a misunderstanding on
the part of the applicant who thought it had already been approved.
Rick Donner - attorney for the applicant
- contractor
TIm Brennan - landscaper - the wall will be as high as the white stone band on the
house, so 40" about the sloped up land from the sidewalk. The sidewalk does slope
down, which means the wall will go up higher as it runs along the sidewalk.
Dawn McCarthy - 2589 N. Lake Dr. - there is nothing similar to this in the area and
she thinks it changes the character of the historic neighborhood in that manner and
adds to the weight on the property, which already has large garage on it. She is also
explicitly opposed to the lights.
Ald. Kovac said that neighbors are concerned with how long it is taking to build the
garage and this has become a perpetual construction site. He would like to see this
work completed. He sees no need for additional lights on the wall.
Att. Donner said that any approved wall will be built before the end of the year.
Mr. Williams also supported not having the lights and if the wall is not built this year,
City of Milwaukee Page 6

COMMISSION
the land should be re-graded.
Mr. Williams moved for approval subject to removal of the lights and work with staff
on landscaping. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.
Mr. Williams said staff needs to review this and see the landscaping. Mr. Jarosz
would like final review by staff and then come back in two weeks if it's not clear.
Ms. McCarthy is also concerned about the open COAs for the work that has never
been completed and when it will be completed.
Work on the front of the house will be completed in 2016. The wall is subject to frost,
which did occur 2-3 days ago.
Mr. WIlliams moved to amend his motion that if the wall isn't built within 60 days the
COA is void, although the staff approval still stands, with disapproval of the lights.
Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.
A motion was made by Blair Williams, seconded by Ann Pieper Eisenbrown,

13. 150802 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement
of windows at 2804 W. State Street in the Concordia Historic District
for Patricia Miner.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Hatala said the property owner is an investor owner and she wants to replace the
windows with vinyl windows in the dovecote, which did test positive for lead paint.
The windows have suffered many years without maintenance. The owner has owned
the property since 1996 and no COA was taken out for changing out windows, which
was done previously nor one for the satellite dishes. Staff recommends denial.
Patricia Miner - owner - brand-new wood windows would be prohibitively expensive
and wouldn't be gotten back through tax credits, so she wonders what the
Commission wants her to do.
Mr. Williams said the first step is to remediate the windows in a safe manner.
City of Milwaukee Page 7
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes October 19, 2015
COMMISSION
Ms. Miner will ask to restore the windows under the lead abatement program, which
is a temporary fix.
Mr. Jarosz would also like to see Ms. Miner get costs estimates to restore these
windows, rather than just anecdotal evidence that the work will be too expensive.
Staff will work with Ms. Miner on restoration.
A motion was made by Matt Jarosz, seconded by Ann Pieper Eisenbrown, that

The Pryor Ave. Iron well plaque will probably be placed on a boulder and, if so, will
not be before the Commission.
