COMMISSION
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said that scaffolding issues were resolved through staff approval. This
is retroactive approval for work on the terracing, steps, downspouts and other exterior
work. Staff recommends approval of the work on the gutters and downspouts. The
berm was terraced in 2014 which was noted as a result of the scaffolding. The
applicant is using the terraced front yard as a victory garden to grow vegetables, which
staff doesn't object to, but it does object to the terracing. Neighbor would like the
retaining wall along the driveway removed. Staff also recommends approval of repaving
with the bluestone. A railing is also required on each set of stairs.
Jeff Leswing - owner - feels that the garden adds more value and times have changed
Dr. Joan Gnadt - neighbor who objects to the foot of the retaining wall which was added
and is not part of the original retaining wall.
Staff could approve the railing design.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, for approval of the
downspouts and the stairway. There were no objections.
Commission would like to hold this until summer 2018 so the applicant can work with
staff and to hold off Dept. of Neighborhood Services action.
A motion was made by Marion Clendenen-Acosta, seconded by Patricia
Keating Kahn, that this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by
the following vote:
Aye: 4- Pieper Eisenbrown, Clendenen-Acosta, Jarosz, and Keating Kahn

3. 170767 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for alterations to
the front landscaping and replacement of stairs at 2655 N. Lake Drive in
the North Point North Historic District for Andy Schiesl.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
The work was done without a certificate and the applicant is not the current owner as
he has sold the property Railings must also be installed as more than three steps.
The step planters interfere with the berm and the first planting bed is also an
encroachment. There are also lighting concerns with some of lights as detailed in the
staff report. The plantings also need to be changed.
Gary Urban - Hawks Landcape - the homeowner wanted some color in the front yard
and there are other houses with much larger retaining walls. The stone matches the
capstones on the house. A railing will be installed. The stone will patina down in a few
years.
Ali Schiesl - previous owner who did the work - she wanted the lighting for security
purposes. They tried to do the work tastefully.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to direct the owner to install appropriate railings, obtain
DPW encroachment permission, reduce the width of the planting beds and approve
limited uplighting, but remove the path lighting, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn.

4. 170718 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
replacement and repair of most windows at 3320 N. Lake Drive in the
North Lake Drive Estates Historic District for Karen & Richard
Christenson.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the Joseph Uihlein estate was converted to condos right before the
formation of this district. There were 3 vinyl windows installed in the back and applicant
would like to replace some windows. Staff would like the windows to be the same.
Richard Christenson - owner - the windows have been there at least 32 years and no
COAs have ever been taken out for the unit.
The windows must be wood and the commisson accepts staff's recommendations.
A motion was made by Patricia Keating Kahn, seconded by Ann Pieper
Eisenbrown, that this Resolution be PLACED ON FILE. This motion PREVAILED

5. 170745 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for installation of a
metal fence with masonry piers and electric lights at 2401 W. Wisconsin
Avenue, the Eagles Club, an individually designated historic property, for
Eagles Auditorium, Inc.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said the work has already been completed without a certificate. The
owner installed fencing around the front parking lot. One concern is the fence height,
which is illegal under the zoning code. Ms. Hatala would like a ruling on the fence
design as well as the lighting on the piers. Ald. Bauman is fine with the fence design
and height, although he sees the issue with the lighting on the fence which he leaves
to the Commission. He actually sees the fence as an improvement.
Joe Balestrieri - signatory of the trust - the building had 280 building violations in 1981.
He was told the fence shouldn't exceed 6 feet and he didn't realize he needed a COA
as not eligible for historic tax credits. The lights are for security for the kids leaving
the events. They matched the existing lights.
Atty. Brian Randall
Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to approve the fence
proper. There were no objectons.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to deny the lighting and return with new proposed
lighting, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There were no objections.
A motion was made by Ann Pieper Eisenbrown, seconded by Patricia Keating
Kahn, that this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the

6. 170748 Resolution relating to the Permanent Historic Designation of the property
at 1338-1340 West Juneau Avenue, the Pabst Tavern Juneau Avenue,
for Steven Eaves.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said that Mr. Eaves is a member of the church and the area is
experiencing a lot of disinvestment. The east elevation is very minimal and has blank
walls as there was once a very close adjacent building. The rear elevation has
replacement windows with some blocked off. The east facade on Juneau Ave. has
glass block windows and a replacement door. The building still has some wonderful
masonry work. There originally was a cemetery in this location from 1846 to 1861 and
there are still remains being found as sporadic development continues in the area.
There was originally a frame grocery store on the site and the current masonry building
was constructed in 1896 and run as a saloon. The building has been a church since
1960 under various congregations, usually Baptist.
Meets e-1, e-5, and e-6 criteria for designation.
Ald. Bauman moved to open public hearing. Seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There
were no objections.
Ald. Bauman moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Ms. Pieper

reconstruction of the south wall with a substitute masonry veneer at 2446 -
2448 N. Lake Drive in the North Point North Historic District for Richard
Langdon.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said this was heard in July with stone replacing brick. The original
brick, Persiantex, only had a limited production and there is not enough remaining
brick to use. The current proposal is to use a color blend that matches and has a
similar texture, with the removal of the stone that was put on the facade without HPC
approval.
Staff recommends approval of the color blend with the texture.
Rick Langdon - has samples of what would be used.
Staff would also like to get a sample of the mortar mocked up for review.
Approve with mortar review and staff to make final determination of the masonry color.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes October 9, 2017
COMMISSION
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said the applicant is proposing to decrease the backyard size and is
proposing a two-car garage with a deck. The garage would be 29 feet in height with
one large door and a single window in the gable end. The side facing the house will
have stairs leading up to a deck with an entry door to storage space in the upper area
and steps down to get into the garage below grade level. The owner is proposing LP
Smartside siding, which staff does not support; it supports wood siding, such as cedar
or cement board. The back half of the garage is a deck. Staff also does not support
the proposed doors. Staff thinks the garage is 50 square feet too large for the site as
required by code which is a BOZA issue. Staff recommends denial of the project, but
if approved there are conditions listed in the staff report.
Joseph Sedita - owner - the drawings were amended to reflect a 10 foot sidewall.
There are multiple garages with flat roofs and decks. He is fine with changing the
siding. He does not want glass in the garage door. He will work with staff on the
garage door. The owner was okay with a longer overhang on the deck so the
proportions look better.
Larry Roffers - lives directly north of them. He fully supports the garage.
Approval with a longer overhang.
A motion was made by Patricia Keating Kahn, seconded by ALD. BAUMAN,

the Brady Street Historic District for Mike Eitel of Nomadic Ventures.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said there will be some demolition and removal of fence sections for
a rear biergarten. A bar will be installed with a thatch roof and a new concession
building and a restroom area, storage and a new walk-in cooler. There will also be a
new garage as well as plantings and a wood trellis. Staff needs to get more details on
the walk-in cooler for either staff or commission approval. Staff recommends with

Ms. Carlen Hatala said that the applicant is working on the front porch. Staff has
some concerns as this project requires carpentry expertise. The HPC interns have
been volunteered to take full measurements to make sure the repairs are done
appropriately. Staff recommends that the property owner work with interns and approve
with the conditions listed in the staff report.

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said a retaining wall is being proposed where there is currently wood
fencing. A fence would be installed on the concrete-block retaining wall. The
commission has never approved concrete block wall. Staff recommends denial of a
concrete retaining wall.
Mike McChrystal - husband of the applicant - this property is in the business district of

Ms. Carlen Hatala said inappropriate work had been done prior to designation; the
current proposal is to do repair work that has been needed for awhile. The tile roof will

hospital at one time.
Ald. Bauman excused at 6:24 P.M.
The applicant would like to replace the wood windows with aluminum clad wood
windows by Marvin and he will replace the current vinyl windows. Staff would like to be
involved in the restoration project to determine if a different direction could be taken
with the soffits. The majority of the windows are salvagable. Staff would like new sills
installed that extend beyond the building to get water away from the house. Staff has
conditions listed in its report.
Dan Katt - agent for Mr. Poltermann - the entire roof needs to be replaced and there
are over 50 windows on this house.
