4/14/20250 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION PLACED ON FILE

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the windows are not before the Commission. The house was acquired from the city and Mr. Monk acquired to homes and this is the only one that still has stucco on it. The stucco isn't in great condition, but could be salvaged. Mr. Monk is insistent on the siding, which doesn't meet the guidelines. Staff recommends denial of the vinyl siding and denial of demolition of the chimney. The chimney can be capped, but can't be demolished. Nakia Monk - owner - his plan is to renovate and then sell to owner occupants. He disagrees that the stucco can be repaired and the cost to renovate is more than the house is worth. The difference in cost takes them over budget and anticipates $100,000 as a selling price for the house. Vinyl siding is much cheaper to maintain than stucco. Ald. Bauman said he was the sponsor of the MKE Homes program and this house was purchased for $1.
