This resolution reverses the June 25, 2003, decision of the Historic Preservation Commission denying a certificate of appropriateness for a request to install balconies on the facades facing Webster Street and Downer Avenue at 2551 North Downer Avenue.

Whereas, The owner of the property, pursuant to s.308-81-9-f of the Milwaukee Code, is entitled to appeal this decision of the Historic Preservation Commission to the Common Council, and has filed a request for a hearing of this appeal in a timely manner; now, therefore, be it
