1. 181790 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for mothball status,
replacement of selected windows, and various repairs at 2804 - 2810 W.
Kilbourn Avenue, in the Concordia Historic District, for S2M2 Real
Estate.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said some windows were replaced illegally and the owner has not been
in contact with staff despite staffs' attempts to reach them and staff recommends
revocation of the mothball.
Sam Stair - 2529 W. Lincoln - they have applied for permits for the interior of the
building, which is unoccupied. They have had 9 furnaces stolen from the building so
they are keeping the exterior boarded up for security and replacing the windows will be
the most expensive work.
Deny extension of the mothball certificate.
A motion was made by ALD. BAUMAN, seconded by Patricia Keating Kahn,

2. 190216 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
construction of a four-car garage at 2565 - 2567 N. Terrace Avenue, in
the North Point North Historic District, for Chester Daxe.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said this was held over from last month for more design details. The
4-car garage will be on the rear property line with the siding matching the house siding
and will have shutters over false windows. Staff recommends approval with the
condition that all trim be natural wood.
Chester Daxe - 6346 S. 35th St. - he wants to make a small change in the staff report;
he will not have etched glass panels in the garage doors.
A motion was made by Marion Clendenen-Acosta, seconded by Patricia

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the owner lives in Florida and has made significant progress and is
seeking additional time to continue working. He also provided staff with an invoice for
10 more windows. Staff recommends extension of the mothball certificate.

James Witkowiak and Adam Levin.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the applicants plan on installing the old Goldmann's sign as an art

installation; the sign will be a pole-mounted, electrified structure. They are looking for
a "yes" on the location and concept before continuing fundraising. Staff recommends
conceptual approval. This does not qualify as a sign as one cannot advertise a
business that doesn't exist.
James Witkowiak - the sign will actually be at 545 W. Mitchell Street, not 529 and will
not hang over the public way. A plaque will also be installed at the base of the sign
with information on the Goldmann's building.
Adam Levin - has a lot of connections in social media and worked on getting the sign
back from North Carolina. There is a possibility that the individual who purchased the
Goldmanns lunch counter will be given the sign; if this doesn't come to pass, the sign
will be installed at this location. Where the sign will be located is in a small parking lot
with no exit onto Mitchell Street.
A motion was made by Patricia Keating Kahn, seconded by Sally Peltz, that
this Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:

5. 190359 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for repairs to the
porch, repairs to the front gables, and mothball status at 953 N. 33rd
Street, in the Concordia Historic District, for Kathryn Finerty.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said this came to staff in October as a result of a violation and this has
become a huge project that the applicant cannot afford to do all at one time. Ms.
Finerty has purchased a couple new columns; the railing will be replicated and all with
good, clear cedar for the major parts. The side railings, if reconstructed, will match the
other railings. Staff recommends granting a one-year mothball request.
Kathryn Finerty - hopes to get all the work completed by fall. The ballisters are not
functional now and can't be salvaged, so there will be 96 new ones in clear cedar.
Tom Goffler - the biggest thing is the railings, which are six weeks out.
A motion was made by ALD. BAUMAN, seconded by Patricia Keating Kahn,

for Meta House, Inc.

COMMISSION
Mr. Tim Askin said the leaded glass windows in front will be retained. The jalousie
windows enclose a sleeping porch, which is used as office space which is not usable
due to the heat. The windows are damaged, but can be repaired. Many of them do
need repair and may have lead paint, although not all windows are painted in the
interior. Vinyl windows have never met the guidelines of historic standards since the
Commission's creation in 1982. Double-paned vinyl windows also will need repair or
maintenance in 15-30 years and will be more expensive over the long-term. Staff
recommends denial.
Sarah Koehn - 2625 N. Bremen - they are a non-profit which is a residential treatment
program and are pursuing low-cost options.
Belle Isabelle - 2625 N. Bremen
Ald. Bauman also said that wood windows would be cheaper than vinyl windows.

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said this flag pole was built due to the pole being damaged by high
winds. The staff has no objections.

reuse and hotel conversion of 817-819 N. Marshall Street, the Charles
Koeffler, Jr. House, for CJ Taxman Interests, Inc.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the exterior changes are mostly renovations, although an
accessible entrance will be added. Staff's only concern is the height of the fence, but
it is allowed as it's zoned commercially. Staff's only objection is the shadow box
design of the fence for the exterior view. Staff recommends approval with brickwork
and mortar review and removal of the shadow box design on the exterior of the fence.
Patrick Jones - 734 E. Wright St. - architect - they are amenable to any staff
recommendations and the fence is not a shadow box.
Julie Kaufmann - co-owner

10. 190387 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
construction of a new house at 2381 N. Terrace Avenue, in the North
Point North Historic District, for Tim Gokhman of At Terrace, LLC.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Carlen Hatala said three lots were added to the historic district in 2018. A house
and garage were built on two of the three lots which were purchased by the hospital
and the buildings demolished.
Tim Gokhman - 1729 N. Commerce - the house will be occupied by Ann Shuck, his
counterpart. He will be building a house next to this house where he will eventually be
living.
Jason Korb - there will always be a minimum of 40 feet of green space between the
hospital and the house lot line. The front setback is an average of the house
setbacks across the street.
The house will be two-story with artisan brick with decorative paneling, poured concrete
at the base and wood paneling. Large windows facing south with garage doors hidden
from the street. There is a lot of glass facing the street with a modern porte cochere
with the overhang over the driveway.
The staff recommends denial based upon proposed siting, the porte cocher which
doesn't match the 5 existing porte cocheres in the district, scale which does not fit with
its neighbors in that is 26 feet in height while the houses across the street range from
26 to 38 feet. It also does not match form in that there is not a single single-family
home or duplex has a flat roof. The brick is a non-historic color and applied in a
non-historic manner. The window sizes and placement are also not compatible with

existing houses. Garage doors made of metal and glass are more common on
commercial garages. Sliding patio doors have never been approved, no matter how
obscured the public view.
Opposed:
Two members of the audience who didn't wish to speak.
Margaret Howland - 2420 N. Terrace Ave. - she is concerned about the grade as it sets
precedence for the next two houses. She doesn't think it's appropriate for the historic
district.
Dawn McCarthy - Historic Water Tower Neighborhood Association - did submit a letter,
which she read at the meeting.
Ald. Nik Kovac - he is glad the Commission added these three properties to the
district. The materials are relatively classic and the design is thoughtful and they have
responded to feedback. He isn't opposed to modern design in a historic district.
About 80% of the Water Tower trustees were opposed to this development as
proposed. He would like general discussion on what would be generally be acceptable
or unacceptable.
Ald. Bauman sees this design as contrary to most properties in the district in terms of
being wider than it is taller and the windows are all square.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown is concerned with the east elevation as it is so busy with a lot
going on visually. She would also like a sneak peek of what is being proposed for
house #2.
Ms. Clendenen-Acosta agrees with Ald. Bauman and also would like to see preliminary
designs of house #2. She would also like more of a transition with the existing
neighborhood.
Mr. Gokhman is looking for general guidance on the direction of design.
Ms. Peltz would encourage the applicant to go back to the staff.
Mr. Jarosz would also like to see more context with the existing neighborhood. He
encouraged them to meet with staff. He doesn't object to modernism, but the materials
need to be of a high quality.
Hold to next month to consult with staff and establish a subcommittee.
Barbara Elsner - 1840 N. Prospect Ave. - she is concerned about the size of the 3-car
garage.

the Humboldt & North Schlitz Tavern, for 2249, LLC.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the first floor only elevation area will be razed as it has been
condemned. This will affect its national register standing. The roof has failed and that
building section was in very bad shape. The two upper stories will be converted to
residential use. There are at most 3 original windows left in the building and staff is not
opposed to replacing all the windows. Thereis also proposed a six-car attached

garage and two balconies with the intent of doing only one. They want to strip and
repaint the masonry (which they would discourage on the Humboldt and North sides).
Todd Hutchison - their intention is to scrape and re-paint the building. They want to
make sure the Commission would be okay with an exterior elevator, a 6-car garage,
large windows on the south side and balconies on the second and third floor.

RECONVENE: 6:25 P.M.
Mr. Tim Askin said the former owner did not maintain this property. The current
owners are seeking the Commission's guidance prior to moving forward. They want to
remove the addition and add a new addition. The new addition will be two stories with a
new foundation. Staff's only concern was tearing down the back addition.
Grant demolishing the addition and work with staff on the new addition. It does meet
both the preservation guidelines and the Brewer's Hilll guidelines.
