Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich gave a summary on the proposed gate, fence, and swimming pool installations. At the location is a huge coach house, encircled by rod iron fence. To the south and left of the house will be the proposed location of an in-ground swimming pool and ornamental metal fence. Very little of the pool will be visible to street. The fence will be six feet in height and match existing rod iron fence there now. There is a wood privacy fence at the back that will screen the area from neighbors. The pool is 20 feet by 42 feet in size. The fence in front will have gates designed to reflect design of the original. The side fence from east to west will be made of masonry piers with intermediate steel piers. The chain link fence on that side will be removed.

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for new second story and rear addition at 728 E. Brady Street for Alaa Musa.
Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich gave a summary on the additions to the Casablanca restaurant. The current owner is proposing a substantial expansion to add a new second story to the top of the building along with a small rear addition. The building is a non-contributing structure with no historical buildings immediately surrounding it. The owner decided on a Mediterranean look to compliment the restaurant's business. Many of the suggestions made by staff were incorporated into a re-design of the additions. The front elevation facing Brady Street has three parts. Changes from the original design to the front elevation include: more definition to baize, cornice is lowered and detailed differently, round arched doors on the second story have been flattened with dividing lights to match the first story, and additional detailing at the top of each of the columns on the first story will give order of architecture. The side elevation on Cass Street will be relatively simple with French windows on the second story and a small, rear addition to accommodate an enlarged kitchen area.
Mr. Jakubovich, on behalf of HPC staff, recommended approval.
Individuals appearing:
Ald. Nik Kovac, 3rd Aldermanic District
Alaa Musa, property owner
Jim French, JFrench and Associates, Inc.
Mr. Musa said that the balcony will have six outdoor tables set for dining purposes. He added that the second story, which will have a bar area, will be used primarily for banquet purposes.
Ald. Kovac said that he was in support of the re-design of the additions, especially with the elimination of arched doors and the use of stucco finishing material to match the original.
Ald. Bauman moved approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for new second story and rear additions at 728 E. Brady Street for Alaa Musa. Seconded by Mr. Bryant. There were no objections.

Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich announced that there has been a new and different interest in moving the Lohman Funeral Home and Livery Stable carriage barn, which has National Register status, on South 8th Street and West Greenfield Avenue to a historic district on the south side. Such a move would require commission approval. The conversion of the barn to a restaurant did not materialize.
Mr. Bryant announced that out of 600 Certificates of Appropriateness from the last three and a half years, only 3 went in front of the Common Council with 2 being denied and 1 resulting in a lawsuit. He suggested that there should be a report generated at the end of each year to compare the number of Certificates of Appropriateness going to and being denied from the Common Council. | | | |
