| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Substitute resolution denying the appeal of the Certificate of Appropriateness relating to full window replacement, at 3360 - 3370 N. Sherman Boulevard, Townsend Elementary School, in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District, for Milwaukee Public Schools.and affirming the Historic Preservation Commission’s decision.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this was also heard last month. The staff's recommendation remains to approve all of the primary double-hung windows as well as others. The manufacturer can replicate everything down to the brick molding. The main question is the windows in the stair towers, which currently don't operate; these are the best-surviving windows in the building and if they were in a single-family house, HPC would require repair rather than replace. Staff recommends approve with conditions, with one of them being repair the tower windows. The school has four towers.
Christoper Kidd - The applicant's three main concerns are energy savings, maintenance and the ability to operate the windows. The stairwell windows are opened to bring in fresh air.
Mark Bethel - MPS - this is a one in a hundred-year opportunity to replace these windows. He is concerned that they wouldn't be getting the energy efficiency gain. They haven't put a budget together for this project, but have done some for other projects. It's a challenge to keep up with repairs and this work wouldn't be able to be done in-house.
For Washington School, they required restoration of the main facade windows, but not the others.
Grant, with conditions in the most recent staff report, which includes repair of the stair tower windows.

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for addition of dormer on the west façade at 204 W. Brown Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Robert Howard.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this is a 3800-square foot, single family home. It has 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths and the desire is to expand the third floor into living space, as well as a mudroom and laundry off the rear facade. Staff reviewed reiterations of this in 2018 and 2022. A proposed gable was recommended denial by staff and affirmed by the Commission. In 2018, the HPC required that completed work by removed relating to a window and that wasn't done.
Currently they are proposing triple windows in the new dormer, with fish scale shingles. Staff would prefer more differentiation between the current and the proposed. Staff has no objections to the mud room addition, but would not support a sliding door on the second story (would support French doors).
Staff recommends denial of the proposed 27 foot gable, which is larger than the main peak on the house, which would result in an odd condition.
Robert Howard - owner - they will put in a French door, not a sliding door. They are trying to make the space more usable. For a family of four, it's difficult to live in the house as it's a narrow house. This house is on the corner, but doesn't really reflect that with the design. The intent is to have the gable even with the current roof.
Mr. Jarosz would like to see a drawing of the front elevation and he would like to see how this would look 3-dimensional.
Hold for one month and staff can approve it or bring it to the Commission; their call.
Mudroom is approved.

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for an elevator addition at 2322 S. 7th Street, St. Josaphat Basilica, an individually designated historic property, for the Franciscan Fathers Minor of Convention of St. Josaphat Church of Milwaukee.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the elevator is being proposed to add greater accessibility and adding ADA-accessible bathrooms. The elevator will be concrete block and will match the remainder of the parish center. No final designs have been submitted for the windows or doors. This addition is located on a secondary facade on a secondary building so staff recommends approval.
Robert Stensberg - Anderson Ashton - architect.
Mr. Jarosz would prefer brick rather than hardy plank. Mr. Stern said this is an addition to a secondary structure, although brick would be a better choice.
Mr. Jarosz moved to deny as he would like a more sophisticated material than siding due to the size of this addition. | PLACED ON FILE | Pass | 5:0 |
