3/1/20210 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the hotel proposal is no longer viable. Applicant is proposing to remove all stained glass windows on the first and second floors while retaining ones in the doors. There are interested parties in the windows. They want to open up some previously closed windows, add a fire escape and other items; designs aren't final yet, but staff has no objections to changes to this facade as it faces a parking garage. The sayings are very esoteric. The windows are a mix of stained glass and painted-on, which is typical of large church windows. HPC previously required that most windows be kept in place and have to remain on-site and on display of some type. Staff recommends denial of removal of the stained glass windows. Eric Nordeen and Scott Ramlow - not a lot of area of window so want to remove windows Jeremy Ebersole - Milwaukee Preservation Alliance - would like to have the windows retained and they are Windows will stay on the property and be incorporated into the interior of the building and conceptual approval of the east elevation.
