Lake Drive in the North Point North Historic District for David Kudlata and Miles Underwood. Sponsors: THE CHAIR Mr. Tim Askin said a new landscaping has been proposed for the front yard. The general landscape plans were already approved by staff, this application is just for the lighting, which includes a lamp post, 8 flood lights and 2 path lights. The Commission has approved lighting in the Concordia district as well as in North Point North in this block, with restrictions. The Commission did approve path lights on the side of a house with limited visibility. Staff recommends denying the lamp post, limit the lumens of the flood lights to 400 lumens and approval of three path lights. Peter Kudlata - Flagstone Landscaping. He would like to retain the tree lighting. David Kudlata - he is disabled and needs the light to access the house. Keith Johnson - he lives a half block away - the block is very, very dark and across the street the trees are up lighted. They have done great work on the house. Mr. Jarosz moved to approve the foundation lights, the path lights with 400 lumens or less and the tree uplights be removed. Approve 5 up lights at the foundation, remove 3 tree up lights. No vote was taken on this motion and more discussion took place. Approve with lower lumens on the foundation and the trees and the path lights are approved, with staff approval required, conditioned upon the applicant's disability and railings on one side of the stairs at a minimum.

Terrace Avenue, in the North Point North Historic District, for Susan LaBudde. Sponsors: THE CHAIR Mr. Tim Askin said that the Solatubes were installed without a COA. Ms. LaBudde provided additional information for the file at the table Three Solatubes are visible from the public right of way; the one on the rear slope of the roof is not. A clear skylight on the rear would not be practical as the other buildings are higher. The other three front Solatubes alter the roofline, which is prohibited by the design guidelines for the district. Susan LaBudde - 2581 N. Terrace Ave. - owner of the 1971 condo and didn't realize it was in an historic district. Only the apartment building to the west looks down on her property. She doesn't think they're a material change to the roofline and thinks they're comparable to roof vents and pipes. She has letters in support from all the surrounding neighbors. They are not visible from her sidewalk, but are from across the street. The house has big windows to let in light and nature and this is not a large house and was constructed in 1971. This is a mid-century, modern building, which City of Milwaukee Page 2 HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes September 4, 2018 COMMISSION there are no other ones in the district. Staff recommends approval of the one in the rear and denial of the other three. Keith Johnson - corner of Belleview, owner of Brighter Concepts and installs Solatubes.

If both sides are parallel it will meet the sign codes, if a "V" shape is done, then it may or may not comply. Staff recommends approval subject to synthetic brick being replaced with wood posts. Applicant is fine with the staff recommendations. Move approval with staff recommendation with parellel wood posts. Mr. Jarosz moved to hold until drawings could be submitted Joel Pieper - 324 N.
