Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Hatala said this item was heard at the last meeting. The owner did meet with the
local alderwoman. The proposal is to repair the front, add railings, take care of the
stucco and add a dormer to the third floor to add a bedroom. There is a dormer on
the south elevation, but not currently on the north. The south dormer will be changed
to 3 consecutive dormers, side by side. Staff recommends approval with a
modifiction to the three dormers on the south side. The owner handed out a packet
of new proposed changes.
Rob Chandler - owner
Dave Koscielniak - architect
Rob Carter - attorney
Mr. Koscielniak said the new proposal removed the three gables and presents just
one gable. The alderwoman has no concerns.
Mr. Williams moved to approve, as revised today by the owner and windows will be
made of wood to match current windows.

COMMISSION
A motion was made by Blair Williams, seconded by Ann Pieper Eisenbrown,
that this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following
vote:
Aye: 4- Pieper Eisenbrown, Williams, Clendenen-Acosta, and Jarosz
No: 0
Excused: 3- Bauman, Opgenorth, and Keating Kahn
3. 160352 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the complete
rebuilding of the front façade at 1114-1116 W. Historic Mitchell Street
in the Historic Mitchell Street Historic District for Maria Novoa
Sanchez.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Hatala said the building went through a number of conversions and changes over
time. There is evidence that a lot of things have deteriorated and been re-built on the
facade. The owner has hired an engineer to see what can be done with the building,
which has a partial faux stone facade done in 1979. The cast stone has been
deteriorating over the years. The stone facade is currently shearing away from the
brick walls and there are numerous cracks in the faux stone facade. The back
facade appears to be stable. The bricks are also popping away from the facade.
The plan is to add brick to match the current brick and a cast-stone product will be
used. Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the staff report, relating
to windows, the entry door and approval of the brick and cast-stone product, design
of the cornice detail and working with staff if additional features or details emerge as
part of the demolition. If major alterations are needed, it will be returned to the
commission for its review.
Maria Novoa Sanchez - owner - owned the building since 1989.
Matt Sangers - architect
The owner would like to use any salvagable materials and put some bricks vertically
to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Her main concern was the facade coming
down and she wasn't aware of all other other work that will need to be done. As a
retiree, she is cognizant of costs. She is willing to work with Ms. Hatala about the
renovations.
Mr. Jarosz also thinks the four windows will look better than the three windows. The
owner will also let Ms. Hatala know what is under the current facade. Mr. Jarosz
noted that just removing the faux stone front and putting in glass will make it much
better.
Mr. Jarosz moved for approval, with staff conditions.
A motion was made by Matthew Jarosz, seconded by Ann Pieper Eisenbrown,
that this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following

Aye: 4- Pieper Eisenbrown, Williams, Clendenen-Acosta, and Jarosz

Excused: 2- Opgenorth, and Keating Kahn
