231653 03.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for an addition to and rehabilitation of the Nunnemacher Estate / Wildenberg Hotel, an individually designated historic property, at 3774 S. 27th Street, for Rakesh Rahan.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said they are few photos, most of which are behind foliage. It is a complete redevelopment of the property with two additions, one to the north and one to the east. HPC only has authority over the building and its immediate footprint, but DCD has design review over the rest of the parcel as the property is city-owned. The south side will have false windows with closed shutters as that property line is very close to another building. Staff recommends approval with conditions in the Staff Report. The preservation tax credits have been dropped from the project. The addition will be a different color. Thomas Stachowiak - architect - Stack Design Group Grant, with conditions.

240077 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the replacement of a rear addition, replacement of an exterior staircase, and window repairs at 2633 N. Lake Drive, in the North Point North Historic District, for Maddie & Murphy McFadden.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the applicants want to replace a poorly constructed rear, enclosed porch and alter a non-original roof line. Windows will be repaired in place and new wood storm windows will be ordered. None of the work will be visible from the front. The rear porch seems to be 1970s construction and has 3 roof lines converge, resulting in significant water damage.

240076 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new house at 113 W. Lloyd Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Vera Property Management LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said it's a fairly large property, with the majority facing Lloyd St and is more horizontal than vertical. It does meet the scale of the adjacent properties. It has an attached 2-car garage, which was has 3 windows that look into living space (a den). It meets the overlay district restrictions, except for the windows on the upper level. Staff recommends adding windows to the garage facade on the back of the property. The garage pitch doesn't meet the pitch requirements, but it's a small section and the other roof areas do. It's about 2,700-square feet of living space and will have lap siding with wood trim. Porch will be wood. There are no details on the door or window construction. Staff would like windows added to the garage door. The garage doors are not visible from the right of way. Staff recommends approval with some more detailed information needed for approval on the staff level. Approve with conditions.

240025 07.ResolutionResolution granting permanent historic designation to Schuster's Department Store at 1220 W. Vliet Street, in the 15th Aldermanic District.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this is the former Schuster's Department store and the parcel is L-shaped with an attached parking lot. Edward Schuster, who came to Milwaukee in 1883, soon started a department store business and different stores in Milwaukee. This property was erected in 1910 and doubled the size in 1923/24. They were known for selling home goods and offered a large variety of merchandise. They were also known for Billie the Brownie, who was Santa's fictional helper and sponsored a Christmas parade from 1927 to 1961 (the year the store closed). The building was purchased by Milwaukee County in 1963 and has been used for a number of social services at the property. The decorative parapets have been removed and the first floor windows in-filled. Most of the entrances have been partially in-filled over time. The north facade is very plain with few windows and is stripped of any ornamentation. The architects were Braust and Philipp, who designed St. Joseph Convent and Chapel, as well as hundreds of residential properties and were the largest architectural firm in the state in the 1920s. The upper stories have great integrity and the first floor has a glazing system so the building is in good shape. Mr. Stern is not sure of the interior condition. Staff recommends approval based on e-5, e-6 and e-9. Ms. Peltz moved, seconded by Mr. Jordan, to open the public hearing. The nominator provided a written record. Mr. Jordan moved, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn, to close the public hearing
