| 0 | 1. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for rooftop solar panels at 2591 N. Summit Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Chris Sanger.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this was held from the last committee meeting. The applicant did meet with his contractor about putting panels on the dormers. There were two different proposals instead of the front-only system. The City Attorney's Office provided written guidance a couple of years ago, which is in the file and Mr. Stern read some text from it. Staff is still recommending a rear system and panels only on the front-facing dormers and denial of the front-only system as requested by the applicant. Owner still prefers the front-only system.
Denied as applied for and approve the staff concept as the decrease in efficiency is not significant and there is no large increase in cost.

| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the rehabilitation of and addition to 501 W. Historic Mitchell Street, in the Mitchell Street Historic District for St. Stanislaus Properties, LLC.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this is a continuation of a project that was reviewed in July. The brick facade is failing and a cream city brick was approved. Two buildings were combined and now they wish to rehabilitate the corner building and add a three-story rear addition. The exterior will be restored and the brick is very similar to that on the historic building. The addition will be half as big as the building and a rear patio will be added as well. There will also be landscaping along the street edge and there will be new wood windows as well as trash enclosures and a rooftop terrace. This will be quite an improvement from what has been there for a number of years. Staff recommends approval with conditions outlined in the staff report and maintaining the historic six-course common bond on the historic section. The foundation will be brick rather than stone for the historic portion.
Patrick Wesley - architect
Isla Jarvis - one of the designers
Property representative also present, but no name given.
Mr. Jarosz would like the new addition to be set back a bit further so it isn't almost flush with the historic portion. The client wanted to have both the old and new to have a cohesive look which is why the brick is similar for both portions. Mr. Jarosz asked if the addition should be differentiated more from the historic building. Mr. Robinson also agreed with possibly differing more between the old and the new, possibly by making the brick coursing a different color. Mr. Jarosz is concerned about how the building is viewed from the expressway, particularly. Mr. Wesley said the setback is about 4". Mr. Wesley said he can look at making some change to differentiate between the two portions although the setback would be harder to change. Mr. Robinson thinks it can be handled by a change in materials.
To provide more renderings with materials differentiation between the historic building and the addition on the east facade to be approved by staff. | HELD IN COMMITTEE | Pass | 7:0 |

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting permanent historic designation to the Milwaukee Auditorium and Milwaukee Arena, 412 W. Kilbourn Avenue, in the 400 and 500 blocks of W. Kilbourn Avenue, in the Fourth Aldermanic District.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the Milwaukee Auditorium and Milwaukee Arena (original names) are located in the 400-500 blocks of W. Kilbourn. The Auditorum was designed in 1907 by Ferry & Clas and the Arena by Eischweiler and Eischweiler. The land was long-used for public purposes and was donated by Byron Kilbourn in 1835 to be used for public purposes. An exposition building was built in 1881 and it suffered a catastrophic fire in 1905. A national design contest was held and there were 12 submissions; Ferry & Clas won. An estimated 210,000 people attended the cornerstone laying and there were parades and three days of celebrations. There were also plans for a civic center area and this was area was dedicated for major civic buildings, including the Milwaukee County courthouse. The building style is beaux arts and was a hit hosting events through the 1920s. In the 1930s there were rumblings that the Auditorium was too small and, starting in 1945, funds were beginning to be raised to build an indoor sports arena.
Alexander Eischweiler, Jr. was chosen as the architect/planner with the cornerstone being laid in 1949. The Arena opened in April 1950 to a week-long celebration. The Arena was in the black its first year of operation. The brightly painted floor was done in 1977 and remained until the Bucks relocated to the Bradley Center. In the 1970s the city opted to keep and renovate the Arena with new mechanicals, but other centers were constructed that served the same purpose. Renovation was done in the 1970s to meet smaller, current needs and the northern facade was re-done. The building remains largely intact and its appearance the same.
The Arena had major renovations completed in 2014.
Staff recommends approval based on f-1, f-2 f-5, f-6 and f-9.
Ms. Keating-Kahn moved, seconded by Mr. Jarosz, to open the public hearing. THere were no objections.
Atty. Josh Levi - represents the owner, the Wisconsin Center District - the owner objects to the designation due to timing of the application and the criteria for approving the application. Both buildings came after a demolition of other structures in order to jump start other development. He asked if either building was on any survey of historic buildings and also the use of both "site" and "building" on the application. The Auditorium was rejected as being historic in 2000 and the 2000 HPC staff report was very similar to this report.
Ms. Peltz, based upon the comments made by the Chair that the 17-member Wisconsin Center District board, will be making decisions behind closed doors while this process is open, she asked when he would like this application to be considered.
Atty. Levi doesn't think the Arena is historically significant. He thinks the staff should meet with the Wisconsin Center District board and re-hear this in a month.
Ms. Keating-Kahn moved, seconded by Mr. Morales, to close the public hearing. There were no objections.
