4/14/2025	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION AND ASSIGNED; Minutes note: Mr. Stern said this is on the agenda to add the staff report and as a result of last month's hold, more data was found on the house. A local alderman lived in there, but they also found information on Raul and Maria Correa, who lived in the house from 1959-1979. This house and the house to the south were constructed in the same style. Mr. Elias Stollenwerk was born in 1857 and started a construction company with his brother, which worked on numerous area buildings. The Correas were involved with the Latino Civil Rights organization and Mr. Correa worked for 40 years at the Ladish Co, as well as being a well-know band leader and guitarist in numerous groups. Mrs. Correa passed in 2006 and Mr. Correa in 2017. There is a Walker's Point mural that features Mr. Correa playing his guitar. Staff recommends appproval under section f-3. Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to open the public hearing. Ryan Hudziak - owner and nominator Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to close the public hearing. The name of the file was amended to add the Correa family.	Pass	5:0
4/2/2025	0	COMMON COUNCIL	REFERRED TO
3/3/2025	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	RECOMMENDED FOR ADOPTION AND ASSIGNED; Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the house was constructed in 1890 by a well-known Bayview contractor/carpenter and 3-term Council member. The house is painted in the Queen Anne style and has decorative elements to the porch. The stained glass transom window is period appropriate, although not original to the house. There is an addition that original that was added in 1915 and a large, raised porch. There is also a large, second-story deck. The rear facade has no decorative clapboard. Elias Stollenwerk was born in 1857 in the Town of Lake and he served as a Council member from 1894-1900. He was one of 13 children and he established a carpentry firm with his brother, John, in 1893. He bought two lots and he a similar house on each lot. All of his construction business was done in Bayview, with the homes being relatively modest, although he also constructed churches and schools across the city and other cities. He was active in the Catholic church. The family members lived in the residence until 1953. The current owner of the property designated it for designation. Staff understands that the house is beautiful and nice, but does not meet any of the criteria for designation. Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to go into a public hearing. No one present to speak. Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved, seconded by Mr. Jarosz, to close the public hearing. Ald. Bauman would think being a 3-term alderman would meet f-3 criteria. Ms. Keating Kahn would like staff to encourage the owner to nominate the area as a district. The owner is nominating his property. Grant based on f-3.	Pass	6:0
