The current owner met with the prospective buyer and supports the commission recommendations.

3/9/2015	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	HELD IN COMMITTEE; Minutes note: Atty. Timothy Van De Kamp present for the owner, Marna Boyle, who is also present. He asks for a 30-day extension for the new owner to review the recommendations. City Clerk Jim Owczarski present at the table - the only concern is that it has been noticed for a meeting twice. Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, to open this for a public hearing. Ms. Hatala said that Mr. Pettibone transferred portions of his property, rather than entire lots, of his multi-acre property. The earliest photo of the house is from 1870. There were numerous families at the property throughout the years who performed various remodels on the house. Apartment buildings were built on both side lots of the house and the house became rental units and eventually converted to a commercial building. Some nice architrectural items still remain on the house. Staff recommends historic designation and feels it meets the criteria of s. e(5) and (1). This is the oldest surviving house on Wisconsin Avenue. No one from the audience wished to speak. Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to close the public hearing. There were no objections. Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Mr. Williams, to hold this matter until the April meeting. There were no objections.	Pass	5:0

Analysis
This resolution grants permanent historic designation to the Sylvester Pettibone House at 2051 West Wisconsin Avenue, in the 4th Aldermanic District.
...Body
Whereas, The Milwaukee Historic Preservation Ordinance, s. 320-21 of the Code of Ordinances, provides that historic sites, structures and districts may be designated by the Common Council upon the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission; and

Whereas, The Historic Preservation Commission, at its April 20, 2015 meeting, by a vote of five (5) ayes and two (2) excused recommended historic designation of the Sylvester Pettibone House at 2051 West Wisconsin Avenue, in the 4th Aldermanic District;

Whereas, The Commission also directed that this designation shall apply only to the House, in the case of the lot being divided and becoming two tax parcels, rather than to the parking lot and the House; and

Whereas, This area possesses integrity of location and fulfills the following criterion set forth in s. 320-21-3:

e-1. Its exemplification and development of the cultural, economic, social or historic heritage of the city, state of Wisconsin or the United States

e-5. Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type of specimen

; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Sylvester Pettibone House, further described as follows:

ASSESSMENT SUBD NO 51 IN SW 1/4 SEC 30-7-22 BLOCK 1 E 70.13' OF N 200' OF LOT 20 & LOTS 21-22 & 23 BID #10
