7/6/2020	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	HELD IN COMMITTEE; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the applicant is requesting a curb cut, HVAC equipment and a decorative wall. The driveway is up against the house due to the location of power poles. The decorative garden wall would be at the end of the driveway to hide a fan which is in the middle of a concrete retaining wall. Staff recommends approval with more design details for the garden wall and to hold that portion separate. Ald. Bauman is concerned that this would result in paving almost the entire green space on this property and he would prefer a narrower driveway. He also asked if a storm water runoff plan would need to be submitted. David Marshall - owner - said the flower wall is to block the fan. His plan for the property is to live there. He currently lives in Brookfield and there is a chain link fence across the front of the property. He would like a driveway as he can rarely find a convenient place to park when he comes to the property. Ald. Bauman has never had a problem finding street parking or vehicle damage on the street. Ald. Bauman wanted more specifics on the berm and how the driveway ramp will extend into the backyard. The driveway will be professionally done. Ms. Peltz would like to see more details on this project. Ald. Bauman said, due to the smaller lot size, that putting in a driveway and garage makes it basically into a large structure. He wouldn't support this on any other property, but it is next to a problem multi-family unit. The lot is zoned two-family residential and the owner has said he plans to live there. The property has been vacant 3-4 years. Mr. Marshall has painted the exterior and has done work on the interior. His driveway guy never mentioned the need for a retaining wall. Grant the air conditioner and hold the rest. There is general agreement that a driveway is okay, but how it will affect the existing berm and if a retaining wall will be needed. Staff can bring it before the Commission if they feel they need to do so.	Pass	4:0
