Minutes note: This is for a new house proposed for a vacant lot attached to 2137 N. Terrace with 6,000 square feet of habitable space and an underground garage. It has a terraced walk down to the sidewalk with planting areas alongside with retention of the bermed lawn. The house has textured stucco walls, standing seam metal roof and limestone framing all the windows and doors. It has a terrace in back with very large windows and overlooks the lake. The height is very close to the adjacent buildings. All the doors and windows will be wood. Staff recommends approval. The owner will be submitting a few more items, including a detail of the gutter and other small items.
Robert Schmidt, the owner, said he made personal contact with the four surrounding neighbors and there was a small reception for about 25 people in August. He also met last night with four people from the Water Tower neighborhood. The windows are casement windows in wood.
Mr. Williams said that he lives directly around the corner and he is friends with all the adjacent neighbors.
Amanda Williams - Ald. Kovac's office said the alderman supports the application and a meeting with a few Water Tower neighbors was held last night.
