2. 211891 Resolution relating to a retroactive Certificate of Appropriateness for
staining brick at 2422 N Sherman Boulevard, in the Sherman Boulevard
Historic District, for David Griffin.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Drayer said removing the stain would result in more damage to the building and
experts were consulted who could not suggest any remedy. Ald. Bauman won't support
which would just sanction painting the brick.
David Griffin - owner - stain is a good product to use on brick as it retains the texture
of the brick.
City of Milwaukee Page 1
HISTORIC PRESERVATION Meeting Minutes May 9, 2022
COMMISSION
Devin White - son of Mr. Griffin - putting paint on it will cause water to be retained,
which will damage the brick.

5. 211976 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
construction of an outbuilding in two phases at 3319 N. Lake Drive, in the
North Lake Drive Estates Historic District, for Chris and Jennifer Abele.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said this house has two fronts - one facing Lake and one facing
Marietta. From 1977 to 1995 there were also two additional freestanding houses on the
lot. The owner is proposing eliminating a stockade fence and replace with a brick
fence, a multi-car garage and a covered, in-ground pool. Phase 1 is two brick
buildings, a wall and phase 2 is the glass covering for the pool house. The pool would
have a shed roof. The two houses were present in 1984 which relates to the North
Point North historic district guidelines relating to square footage. Staff does not
support the roof for the pool. Where the proposed site for the houses was an ignored,
wooded corner and no public views are obstructed, so siting is met for both phases.
Even with its transparent nature, staff doesn't believe the pool structure is in
compliance. The materials criteria is met for Phase 1. Staff believes the guidelines
are met for Phase 1, but has concerns about the pool enclosure for Phase 2. Staff is
concerned about how the drainage would be handled from the bathhouse as it's a lot of
rainwater to handle with a lot of new, impermeable surface.
Staff recommends approval of Phase 1 and holding Phase 2 for additional
consideration.
Nick Carnahan and Nia Lee - architects - the size of the buildings are being driven by
the science of thermodynamics and also minimizing the amount it impacts the public
view.
Thomas Carlson - Atty. and Suzanne Hupy - neighbor - thinks the application materials
are incomplete, particularly as relates to the pool. There is no plan to screen these
items from Windemere Court and Ms. Hupy's property. They should also submit a
lighting plan and screening plan, particularly along Windemere Court.
Ald. Bauman moved to approve Phase 1 and hold Phase 2. Seconded by Ms. Peltz.
A motion was made by ALD. BAUMAN, seconded by Sally Peltz, that this
Resolution be ADOPTED. This motion PREVAILED by the following vote:

6. 211989 Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a fence at
2205 N. Lake Drive, in the North Point South Historic District, Eric
Wagner.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said in 2019 there was a fence proposal that was rejected by the
Commission. No fence currently exists. Staff supports a 4 foot fence with a round
top. The applicant is willing to accept it, but his preference is for a simpler fence.

landscape features and structures at 2006 E. Lafayette Place, in the

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Mr. Tim Askin said the exterior lighting is sunken, the flag pole must be below the
height of the house and the proposed fence must match the existing fence. A hot tub
will be installed in the back. Staff recommends approval with conditions. The fence
will be wrought iron. The neighbor has no objection to a hot tub.

Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Jacqueline Drayer said all items are okay with staff, except for astroturf, along with
standard masonry conditions. Ald. Bauman said this isn't classic landscape, but a
purpose-built athletic field. He would support astroturf at this site. Mr. Garcia also
agrees with astroturf. The chair agrees as well.
