11/7/2011	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	SUBSTITUTED; Minutes note: Ms. Hatala gave background information on the proposed permanent historic designation of the Lustron House. The commissiongave interim designation to the property in September. Due to a 90 day requirement, the commission must consider whether or not to recommend permanent historic designation to the property. The house was first nominated for interim designation by Ald. Witkowski's aide after she was told that the property was being dismantled without permits. The partner of the property owner advertised in July and August of this year to sell parts of the home. 16 wall panels and 33 pieces of the roof have been sold. Ms. Hatala gave descriptions and a history of Lustron houses. For details of Ms. Hatala's descriptions and history of Lustron houses, please refer to the "Permanent Study Report" attached to this file. Ms. Hatala added that at its September meeting, staff recommended that the Lustron house be given interim historic designation as a City of Milwaukee Historic Structure as a result of its fulfillment of criteria e-1, e-5, and e-7, of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Section 320-21 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances. On behalf of the HPC staff, Ms. Hatala did not recommend permanent historic designation of the Lustron House. She said that future restoration or rehabilitation to this partially demolished property was unlikely given its unique construction and materials and its current state of disrepair. Mr. Williams had the following concerns: the neighborhood is not a historic designated neighborhood; a demolition permit can be obtained even if a permanent historic designation was made given the current status of the house; and cost may be prohibitive to obtain the necessary materials to restore the home. Mr. Jarosz questioned if the property owner will be fined. Ms. Hatala said that the Department of Neighborhood Services has discussed a fine due to the property owner not obtaining the necessary permits to perform demolition. Mr. Jarosz said that the Lustron houses in the city do not have historic designation. Mr. Williams moved to open the hearing to the public. Seconded by Mr. Jarosz. There were no objections. No neighborhood testimony. The property owners and the local alderman were not present. Mr. Jarosz moved to close the hearing to the public. Seconded by Ms. Nemec. There were no objections. Ms. Nemec moved approval for the permanent historic designation of the Lustron House located at 3645 S. 20th Place based upon based upon satisfaction of criteria e-1 and e-5, of the Historic Preservation Ordinance, Section 320-21 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown. Mr. Bryant, Jarosz, and Williams objected. (Failed 2-3) Mr. Williams moved denial of the permanent historic designation of the Lustron House located at 3645 S. 20th Place based upon all of the conditions identified by HPC staff and the commissioners.
