| 0 | 1. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting Permanent Historic Designation to the Stollenwerk/Correa House at 2246 S. Aldrich Street, in the 14th Aldermanic District.
Minutes note: Mr. Stern said this is on the agenda to add the staff report and as a result of last month's hold, more data was found on the house. A local alderman lived in there, but they also found information on Raul and Maria Correa, who lived in the house from 1959-1979. This house and the house to the south were constructed in the same style. Mr. Elias Stollenwerk was born in 1857 and started a construction company with his brother, which worked on numerous area buildings. The Correas were involved with the Latino Civil Rights organization and Mr. Correa worked for 40 years at the Ladish Co, as well as being a well-know band leader and guitarist in numerous groups. Mrs. Correa passed in 2006 and Mr. Correa in 2017. There is a Walker's Point mural that features Mr. Correa playing his guitar.
Staff recommends appproval under section f-3.
Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to open the public hearing.
Ryan Hudziak - owner and nominator
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to close the public hearing.
The name of the file was amended to add the Correa family.

| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for mothball status at 266 E. Erie Street, the Catherine Foley Tavern, for Catherine Foley Tavern Restoration, LLC.
Minutes note: Ms. Emma Rudd said they did a site walkthrough with the state preservation office on April 9th and are well on their way for their final decision. They are kicking off their fundraising campaign in May to raise funds for Phase I. The building is currently boarded up and the roof is tarped and there was no water infiltration over the winter. The goal is to be completed entirely by November 2026. They want to move the Historic Preservation offices into the building, which would leave 1,000 square feet for private lease on the first floor.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to grant the mothball for another 6 months, | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |

| 0 | 3. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for expansion of the front porch at 2549 N. Terrace Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Tim Roloff.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this project was approved in January; the original front porch was drastically minimized in 1932 by Gustav Pabst, Jr. The work approved in January was cost prohibitive, so the new design is simpler is design, but still fits the house. Staff recommends approval as presented.

| 0 | 4. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of vinyl siding, window replacement, and additional repairs at 4370 N. 25th Street, in the Garden Homes Historic District for Nakia Monk.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the windows are not before the Commission. The house was acquired from the city and Mr. Monk acquired to homes and this is the only one that still has stucco on it. The stucco isn't in great condition, but could be salvaged. Mr. Monk is insistent on the siding, which doesn't meet the guidelines. Staff recommends denial of the vinyl siding and denial of demolition of the chimney. The chimney can be capped, but can't be demolished.
Nakia Monk - owner - his plan is to renovate and then sell to owner occupants. He disagrees that the stucco can be repaired and the cost to renovate is more than the house is worth. The difference in cost takes them over budget and anticipates $100,000 as a selling price for the house. Vinyl siding is much cheaper to maintain than stucco.
Ald. Bauman said he was the sponsor of the MKE Homes program and this house was purchased for $1.

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement of casement windows and the rear door at 2121 N. Terrace Avenue, in the North Point South Historic District, for Jim & Kris Rappe.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the front facade isn't affected. The casement windows aren't in good shape and they are done. The oriole window also in great shape and there is water leakage occurring, as well as other problems. The Commission has generally not approved metal clad for windows. The leaded glass windows will be replaced with lead tape, which staff approves. Staff is recommending wood and not metal clad for the casement windows. .
Todd Colbert - 6160 S. 108th - manager for Weathertight - they like the metal clad due to the long life and low maintenance. All the windows are on the back of the house and not facing the street.
Mike Farmer - Waukesha - construction manager for Weathertight
Mr. Askin said the Commission has generally held to wood above grade (would allow metal for a basement window at grade). Mr. Farmer feels the Pella is close to the original window.
The windows were already purchased by the homeowner and are sitting in a warehouse waiting to be installed. The windows are extremely close to the wood windows. The windows are not vinyl clad, but aluminum.
Mr. Jarosz moved to grant the two oriele windows and the storm door, but deny the clad casement window.s Seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There were no objections.

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a statutory demolition review of outbuildings and additions at the former Browning School, 5575 N. 76th Street, for Milwaukee Recreation and Milwaukee Public Schools.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said there is a state statute that says a school board may not demolish any school facility that is 50 years or older without local HPC approval. The one-level, newer building is being proposed for demolition. Milwaukee Recreation is proposing this and a new community center with a pool will be attached and use the remaining structure for their offices. The architect did a number of schools and this is not necessarily their best work. The 1999 addition will be demolished and the 1950s-1970s additions as well. The additions are fairly utilitarian and not particularly significant. They are retaining the architecturally interesting part for the most part. Staff recommends approval as proposed. The applicants did provided photos of the interior, as staff requested.
Allyson Nemec - architect - they looked at re-using the portions, but it didn't make economic sense. The recreation center will be state-of-the-art and will be a real asset to the community. They are retaining the original school building and the original gym.

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Re-Imagining Sherman Park project at 3000 N. Sherman Boulevard / 3001 N. 41st Street, in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District, for Milwaukee County Parks.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the County Parks is proposing to renovate the park by adding more amenities and secured parking. Very little has changed since the County took over the park from the city in 1936. In 1990, the pavilion was lost, which is where the Boys and Girls Club now is. They are also revising some of the pathways. Staff recommends approval as proposed.
Dan Merkt - architect - no change to the building, just site changes.

| 0 | 8. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for construction of a new three-unit residential property at 113 W. Lloyd St., in the Brewers Hill Historic District for MMF Holdings, LLC.
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this proposal is for a 3-unit building on a current vacant lot. The building will take up the entirety of the buildable area. There will be attached 2-car garages per unit and there will be no yard to speak of. The 3 units will each be 2-bedroom, 2.5 baths and have about 2,150 square feet. The three porches on the front will be raised and there will be a dormer on the attic level for each unit. The building is substantially bigger than both houses on either side.
The siting seems to be adequately addressed and the massing seems compatible with the neighborhood. Staff recommends cladding with smooth cement and wood be used for all the trim (the current trim is being proposed as SmartSide). Staff also finds the window mix a little distracting. Doors should be solid wood and the garage doors can be steel, but recommends windows be added. Staff is fine with the proposed foundation. Staff recommends this be held for modifications detailed in the staff report.
Own Lambert - Patera - they are open to all of the staff suggestions - these will be rental properties. Can be approved by staff.

| 0 | 22. | Resolution | Resolution relating to the Certified Local Government review of the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Carleton District #3 School at 4116 W. Silver Spring Drive, in the 1st Aldermanic District.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the school was built between 1916 and 1972, mostly by a separate school district from the one of Browning School, but the same architects. It was absorbed by MPS in 1948 and has been shuttered since 2005. This building is being sold for a proposed housing development. The building had a complete facade lift in 1935/36. It is an example of a Depression-era public grade school and has a prominent art deco style. The front window style is in the 1920s style and has a copper roof projection on the third floor, which is common for MPS buildings. It retains its original windows, one of 12 schools which does so.
The nomination was largely very well-done, but the comparative analysis section was very weak and Browning school wasn't even mentioned nor the original Gaenslen school torn down in 1989. There are also no references to the Milwaukee Journal or Milwaukee Sentinel.
Staff recommends endorsement of this recommendation with the caveats relating to the lack in comparative analysis and lack of Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel article citations.
Mr. Jarosz moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to endorse the nomination. Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown voting "no"
