HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich gave a PowerPoint presentation and information on the proposed new window installations. The commission looked at an earlier proposal for storefront remodeling on this building in 2008. At that time the commission had concerns that have generally been addressed in this new proposal. A considerable amount of work on the upper half of the storefront has been done, which includes new paint and removal of a large sign. The street level storefront remained intact. The plans are to remove the crossed hatched areas on the sides of the doors and replace them with large storefront windows and bulk heads beneath them. There will be new awnings and entry doors installed. The storefront windows will be returned to their original height featuring large sheets of clear glass topped with a divided transom. The remainder of the brick will be stained to match the top story. The restoration of the original height of the storefront windows is a welcome change.
On behalf of HPC staff, Mr. Jakubovich recommended approval for a Certificate of Appropriateness.
Individuals appearing to testify in support:
Russ LaFrombois, architect, 229 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 701, Milwaukee, WI 53202
Julilly Kohler, property owner, 1158 E. Kane Pl., Milwaukee, WI 53202
Mr. LaFrombois said that one fixed plate glass window will replace three windows, the storefront is an aluminum system, and the brink will be stained to red.
Ald. Nemec moved approval for a Certificate of Appropriateness for new windows at 1230 E. Brady Street for Julilly Kohler, agent for JWK Management, LLC, as submitted in the drawings. Seconded by Mr. Jarosz. There were no objections.
