HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Doerrfeld said that the applicant is proposing to pave an area 25 feet by 35 feet for a parking area and the parking area will occupy 30% of the existing open space on the lot. Staff says the area is overly expansive for the site and he recommends denial as submitted.
Carl Quindel - property owner - is trying to park 4 cars on the lot as the building is a 3-bedroom duplex. Tenants want to park near the property due to safety concerns. Strongbox Milwaukee owns the property. There is at least 8-10 feet of grass between the house and the slab.
There are no neighbors nor the local alderman present on this matter.
Mr. Williams thinks that a two car garage with a two car slab would be approvable and this is basically 10 feet wider than that would be. Mr. Wllliams suggested making 4 sites that are parking lot size (9 feet by 18 feet) and also using alternative paving materials. The Commission would like to have it pulled in as much as possible and look at possible landscaping features. 36 feet by 18 feet is the size of a traditional parking stall.
Mr. Jarosz moved to approve with conditions that it be tightened up, use creative paving, and be less obtrusive, possibly through landscaping and the use of curb stops, etc. Seconded by Mr. Williams. | Pass | 5:0 |
