| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for exterior renovation and an addition at 103 W. Lloyd Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Benjamin Clark.
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said that this was previously heard twice by the Commission. Some windows will be added, but no major additions will be added, with a smaller addition on the west. There will be new trim, which will be simple yet historically appropriate. The garage will have added detail in terms of a window, watertable and new shingles and new siding as needed. The garage style is similar in style to the time period of the house. Staff recommends approval as now submitted.
Tracy Reed - 2427 N. Palmer
Chris Wilson - architect
Randy Goll - neighbor - 2037 N. 1st St. - he has some concerns about the roof colors (the owner says the roof colors will match between the house and the garage) Staff hasn't discussed the gutters with the homeowner. The neighbor was concerned about gutters, railing pickets, window type, etc.
Mr. Williams recommended working with staff to provide more details relating to basement windows, picket and hand railing details and shingles both in terms of manufacturers and color (shingles must match each other in terms of the house and garage), half-round gutters and garage door criteria. Seconded by Ms. Opgenorth.

| 0 | 3. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting permanent historic designation of the Wisconsin Consistory Building, a/k/a the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center at 790 N. Van Buren Street, in the 4th Aldermanic District.
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said that the nitty gritty details are in the study report. This nomination was received from the Milwaukee Preservation Alliance. This building is listed in the national register. There were attempts in 1986 and 1992 to locally designate this building - an agreement was reached in 1992 that the exterior wouldn't be modified, although that agreement expired years ago. The building began life as a church with a strong social emphasis. Over time, social services took over the social functions and members were relocating to the north shore, so in 1912 the congregation relocated and bought a smaller property. The Scottish Rite Masons bought the building in 1912 for $44,000. A small addition was added between 1912 and th 1930s. Limestone was put over the original bricks. There are also 28 figures along the parapet. The name change came about in 1994 when the building was open for non-Masonic events. The building meets e-1, e-3, e-5 and e-6.
Present for the building owners:
Atty. Bruce Block - asks that this decision be delayed
Bob Haggarty - Scottish Rites - chair of the Trustees of the Valley of Milwaukee - they want to sell the building to maintain their missions.
Eric Nordeen - Ascendant Holdings - this building has a lot of large meeting spaces and they want to add to the building for a successful hotel operation.
Nominator:
Dawn McCarthy - Milwaukee Presevation Allliance - nominating organization
Ald. Kovac - if a building is historic, then it gets designated

| 0 | 4. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness to enclose the patio at 728 E. Brady Street in the East Brady Street Historic District for AIM Investments, LLC.
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said this building has 2 front doors and has housed a restaurant as well as a store. A second story addition and patio were added in 2012. The current proposal is to enclose the patio space with a louvred roof to allow indoor dining in inclement weather. The roof will drain to one location and the panels are frameless, so there weren't be heavy frames dividing up the view. There will still be a sense of an open pergola. The installation will be permanent. Staff recommends approval.
William Morris - architect - this should have minimal impact from the street view and the railing system will stay.
Alla Musa - 601 E. Ogden - owner and operator of the restaurant
Mr. Williams thinks this is an improvement and will activate the streetfront.
Ald. Kovac supports the staff's recommendation.

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for changes to the previously approved Certificate of Appropriateness for the Pabst Professional Building (Building 23) at 1037 W. Juneau Avenue in the Pabst Brewery Historic District for Blue Ribbon Management, LLC.
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said work on the church was previously approved. This new proposal is to just have one monolithic brick structure. The canopy is now free-standing and sits away from the building and one side has a giant logo. The building material will closely match the historic brick rear wall of the church. They might need to get a variance for the painted logo on the side, which is very large, and it is unknown if it is a sign or an artistic mural. Ms. Hatala thinks the addition is needed and a courtyard is nice, but not in its present form as submitted.
Michael Kelly - Blue Ribbon Management -
Mike Mervis - developer - the building is in tough shape due to years of neglect. Sign will only really be seen by those in the beer garden, not those driving on the freeway.
Scott Sweeney - tenant
Jason Reed - Engberg Anderson architects
Mr. Williams supports having the mural extend onto the front of the addition to pull the eye in. Mr. Jarosz also supported having some color on the front to lure people in.
Mr. Williams recommends approval as long as there is some type of wrapping of it onto the front addition. He recommends approval, with strong preference for the wood as well. Mr. Jarosz and Mr. Williams are both comfortable leaving the decision to the Park Service.

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of rooftop signage at the Pabst Professional Building at 1036 W. Juneau Avenue in the Pabst Brewery Historic District for Fred Lyons, for Klement's Sausage Company.
Minutes note: Roll call taken at 5:11 P.M
Ms. Hatala said the building is a brand-new building with a designated signage area. The current proposal is to install a sign on the rooftop of the building. The building was designed to have a dramatic roofline and the building is not only occupied by Klement's sausage. There is room between the spandrel area for a sign to go, rather than on the rooftop.
Michael Kelly - Blue Ribbon Management
Mike Mervis - developer - the agreement prohibits other signs on the roof. This is the corporate headquarters of Klement's.
Fred Lyons - Klements Sausage
Jim Kapusta - Signarama. The sign is internally illuminated and is translucent acrylic.
Ald. Bauman has no objections as the sign faces the freeway. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to changes to a previously approved Certificate of Appropriateness relating to location and appearance of a garage at 101 W. Vine Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Amanda & Jerry Teagardner.
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the Commission reviewed this twice before (the original proposal was for an attached garage, which was denied). A detached garage was approved in December 2015, but now that proposed location has been amended. The location will be similar to the attached garage location, but not attached. The owners don't want a long driveway and will be using permeable pavement. The retaining wall is also in bad shape and may be collapsing at some point. There will be twin garage doors and brick on the front of the garage as they have a large stockpile of cream city brick. The sides will be wood clabbards. There will also be trellises with corresponding vines. Staff recommends approval.
Jerry Teagardner - 220 E. Brown

| | 8. | | Certified Local Government Review of a National Register Nomination for the George C. Mansfield Company Building at 1300 North 4th Street.
Minutes note: The developer will be seeking local tax credits and so is seeking this nomination. The building was built in 3 stages, starting in 1908. This was one of the first manufacturing businesses of ice cream. It appears it meets the criteria for the national nomination and staff recommends support. Ald. Bauman recommended approval, seconded by Ms. Opgenorth. There were no objections. | | | |
