| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a complete landscape design including a driveway realignment, sports patio with basketball court, new plantings, and elimination of the circle drive at 3252 N. Lake Drive in the North Lake Drive Estates Historic District for Rick & Maggie Barrett.
Minutes note: This work is for extensive landscape changes. The kitchen project previously approved by the commission is substantially complete. The grounds will be in a formal design to fit with the house's Georgian architecture. Evergreens will also be added along the lot lines and a new driveway route is proposed closer to the north lot line, but wil remain dirt. There will also be parking for 6 cars and new pavers in cream will replace the current red brick on the terrace. The property contains 2.8 acres. Staff supports the majority of the project, but does not support the sport patio as it is basically a basketball court on the front lawn. Work was begun on the basketball court without Commission approval and it consumes 2500 square feet and is close to a neighbor's property line and can be seen from Lake Dr. The owner needs to get BOZA approval for parking spaces in excess of 4 spaces as well as a three-foot walkway required by code. If the court is approved, staff recommends that it be moved to another location and screening be provided to protect the neighboring property

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting the appeal of the Certificate of Appropriateness requirements set by the Historic Preservation Commission for construction of a new home with attached garage at 100 W. Brown Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Gregory Baer and Robert Ater (6th Aldermanic District).
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is a vacant lot being sold by the city for construction of a single-family home. The building on the lot had burned down. The proposal is a home with an attached garage. It will have a front porch with windows two over two with a brick foundation. The porch was revised and staff supports as designed except for the garage light fixtures, which can be done as a staff approval at a later date. Staff has some concerns with some of the materials used, with the windows being proposed as aluminum clad, which staff does not support. Staff also does not support the siding as it is not wood. The proposed porch deck is also not wood and is not supported by staff. To this point in time, all applicants have been required to have all wood siding, trim and windows. Staff recommends approval with conditions as listed in the report. In the early years of sales, the Redevelopment Authority, as a condition of sale, required all wood siding, trim and windows.
Greg Baer - owner - the code does not mention materials used, only design standards. In the past 13 years only 3 petitions have been brought forward and only one house has actually been built. He doesn't feel that new buildings should copy old buildings, but should be compatible, but different.
Steve Black - Red Bud Homes - builder - they found what they consider sensitive materials for historic areas and also looked at what other cities were allowing in historic districts.
Robert Ater - the other owner - they were not aware until 3 weeks ago that materials were also under the purview of the commission. They are concerned that this will price them out of the neighborhood.
Mr. Black provided cost estimates of wood siding. Mr. Ater noted that many cities are approving the Hardy plank in their historic districts.
This was held so Commissioners had more time to review the information provided by the applicant Sunday night.
Held until the December meeting.

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the infill of two window wells on the W. Kilbourn Avenue frontage of 910 N. Old World Third Street, the Second Ward Savings Bank, an individually designated historic property, for the Milwaukee County Historical Society.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that this is a simple project and it is before the Commission as it is a county-owned building. The wells will remain hollow with caps sealed against the weather. The wells, per the owner, do not serve a purpose are are leaking water onto the collections stored inside. Staff recommends approval with one condition - that the window frames remain in place or be photographed and measured with this information to be added to the record. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:0 |

| 0 | 9. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a new, mixed-use 2-1/2 story building at 1697 N. Marshall Street in the Brady Street Historic District for Scott Genke.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the proposal is to build a 2.5/3 story building with a commerical storefront on the first floor. The third floor is deeply recessed and has a shear glass wall. There is a green wall on the Marshall side to screen the mechanicals and waste receptacles. This property is owned by the city and this was the chosen winner for the RFP issued by the city. The building generally fits the site's scale and the materials are appropriate to the district. As a whole, the building fails to connect to other buildings on the street and the windows are vertical rather than horizontal, as the other windows on the street are. Overall, staff believes this design only meets 2 of the 4 Brady Street guidelines and requests that this be held to work further with the applicant. Staff feels that this design can be tweaked to meet Commission standards. Staff presented other alternative designs.
Yvest LaPierre - Dept. of City Development - put together the RFP and supports this design, which was the only one submitted that would be presentable to the Commission.
Ald. Nik Kovac - a neighbor meeting will be held soon on this project; there is a contingent that wants to keep this as a vacant lot and green space. He was somewhat confused by the staff report and feels it does fit into the neighborhood well.
Brian Johnson - architect - changes were made based upon staff concerns. He was surprised by the number of staff suggestions in the report.
John Micele - 2862 N. Hackett -- supports
Cassandra Zumstein - 827-29 E. Brady St. - supports
Whitney Gould - supports
Scott Genke - applicant
Commissioners liked the building as drafted and did not accept the staff recommendations. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:0 |
