modifications required to convert to residential use the property at 1945
N. Bartlett Avenue, the Milwaukee Fire Department’s Firehouse Ladder
Company No. 5, an individually designated historic property, for Jalem
Getz.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said that is being proposed for residential use. It was abandoned as a
firehouse in 1914 and has no plumbing. It was used as long-term storage for over 90
years. There is no sewer access provided for at the property. The project is not
eligible for tax credits so it will face no other political review. Staff does not support
deep masonry cleaning or the addition of a penthouse. The owner is proposing to
add/retain historic elements. The owner is proposing adding 900 square feet on top of
the building. They are removing the elevator and putting in a staircase in that space.
Staff also objects to proposed cladding - would prefer "Pre patina" from the same
manufacturer, rather than "Natural". Staff also recommends clipping or rounding one
corner to reduce visibility. Staff can accept the proposed door submitted on Friday.
There are 2 balconies projected, with one being a French balcony. Staff does not
support the proposed changes to the hayloft doors on the second floor. Staff

recommends no cleaning of the south elevation go past the chimney line as it can't be
seen by the general public anyway. Staff recommends approval with 13 conditions
detailed in its staff report.
Jalem Getz - propery owner - his mother will live on the lower level and his family on the
second floor and above. This is his pet project for him. He worked very closely with
staff as did his architect.
Ald. Bauman likes the square of the roof as it provides symmetry with the
square-cornered building.
The owner will accept all the staff recommendations except #1 and #2.

work has been completed so no original windows remain on the property. Staff
recommends denial of the vinyl and put in wood replacement windows.
William Smith - owner - 9309 W. Windwoods Dr. - he was not aware and was not
advised by the previous owner. There are approximately 12 other houses that have
vinyl windows.

7. 170677 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacing the
front door and installing a metal storm on the main entry at 114 E. Vine
Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Justin Fagan.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the doors were replaced without permission. There was never a
storm door on the property to staff's knowledge. The previous door was a slab door
that was in place prior to district designation. The house is an 1880s house and
neither the door nor the storm door are appropriate. Staff recommends denial and
period-appropriate doors be installed. Staff recommends approval of the trim if it is
painted rather than varnished.
Justin Fagan - 114 E. Vine - he is fixing up the house and yard as time and money
permits. Both his neighbors to the east and west have the same exact door. He
thinks the front door adds to the house as it matches it. He does not object to
removing the screen door.
Grant COA for interior door and deny for screen door.
A motion was made by ALD. BAUMAN, seconded by Marion Clendenen-Acosta,
that this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following

second story windows at 2015 N. Palmer Street in the Brewers Hill
Historic District for Philip C. Warren and Emily Schlemowitz.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
The applicant cannot be present, but staff supports the application. The owners have
revised their application and the current windows do not completely match the arch.
The current windows would be replaced with 2 over 2 with a curved molding, which staff
supports. They did promise true divided lights and will replace a door in the back and
will do 2 over 2 on windows in the back and will re-do all the windows as 2 over 2 on the
entire building. Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the report.

E. Royall Place entrance to the property at 1630 E. Royall Place (AKA
1801 N. Prospect Avenue), the Charles Allis House, an individually
designated historic property, for Milwaukee County.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said there have been on-going repairs over the years. There was a
COA last year. The applicant wishes to replace sandstone which is wearing away,
which is not atypical. Sections of the masonry have also deteriorated. Ms. Hatala said
alternatives to the Apostle Island sandstone should be researched prior to using the
Chinese sandstone and the staff report details recommendations.
James Otto - architect for the project - he believes they can re-use all of the stone
except the west wing, but he would like either/or in case it cannot be used. They also
need to create a new foundation for this building. He believes replacement stone from
China is cheaper and just as good quality of stone quarried here. He is also
researching reclaimed stone. He would like to proceed with the replacement stone
while working with staff rather than the Commission.
Mr. Jarosz would like consultation with staff and a masonry expert that the HPC
recommends.
Held so research can be done to determine if other stone alternatives exist and the
cost.

10. 170665 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation
of house accent lighting in the front yard at 3002 W. State Street in the
Concordia Historic District for Patrick Kennelly.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
This item was taken up after item #1
Mr. Kennelly is spearheading the exterior lighting through the Concordia neighborhood.
The fixtures will be selected based upon the house style and no lamp post fixtures will
be used. The guidelines don't really address lawn lights rather than foundation lights
They are proposing specific plantings, with HPC staff being opposed to the proposed
lemon grass. Staff would like guidelines from the Commission.
Patrick Kennelly -- owner of 3002 W. State St. - the need for lights was identified by
residents. They are happy to install the plants that staff has recommended and happy
to implement recommendations from staff to preserve the historic nature of the
neighborhood.
Ald. Bauman thought this was to improve the quality of street lighting and he wasn't
