Bartlett Avenue, the Milwaukee Fire Department’s Firehouse Ladder Company No. 5, an individually designated historic property, for Jalem Getz.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that is being proposed for residential use. It was abandoned as a firehouse in 1914 and has no plumbing. It was used as long-term storage for over 90 years. There is no sewer access provided for at the property. The project is not eligible for tax credits so it will face no other political review. Staff does not support deep masonry cleaning or the addition of a penthouse. The owner is proposing to add/retain historic elements. The owner is proposing adding 900 square feet on top of the building. They are removing the elevator and putting in a staircase in that space. Staff also objects to proposed cladding - would prefer "Pre patina" from the same manufacturer, rather than "Natural". Staff also recommends clipping or rounding one corner to reduce visibility. Staff can accept the proposed door submitted on Friday. There are 2 balconies projected, with one being a French balcony. Staff does not support the proposed changes to the hayloft doors on the second floor. Staff recommends no cleaning of the south elevation go past the chimney line as it can't be seen by the general public anyway. Staff recommends approval with 13 conditions detailed in its staff report.
Jalem Getz - propery owner - his mother will live on the lower level and his family on the second floor and above. This is his pet project for him. He worked very closely with staff as did his architect.
Ald. Bauman likes the square of the roof as it provides symmetry with the square-cornered building.
The owner will accept all the staff recommendations except #1 and #2.
Approval with all staff recommendations, except #1 and #2. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:0 |

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacing the front door and installing a metal storm on the main entry at 114 E. Vine Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Justin Fagan.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the doors were replaced without permission. There was never a storm door on the property to staff's knowledge. The previous door was a slab door that was in place prior to district designation. The house is an 1880s house and neither the door nor the storm door are appropriate. Staff recommends denial and period-appropriate doors be installed. Staff recommends approval of the trim if it is painted rather than varnished.
Justin Fagan - 114 E. Vine - he is fixing up the house and yard as time and money permits. Both his neighbors to the east and west have the same exact door. He thinks the front door adds to the house as it matches it. He does not object to removing the screen door.
Grant COA for interior door and deny for screen door.

Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said there have been on-going repairs over the years. There was a COA last year. The applicant wishes to replace sandstone which is wearing away, which is not atypical. Sections of the masonry have also deteriorated. Ms. Hatala said alternatives to the Apostle Island sandstone should be researched prior to using the Chinese sandstone and the staff report details recommendations.
James Otto - architect for the project - he believes they can re-use all of the stone except the west wing, but he would like either/or in case it cannot be used. They also need to create a new foundation for this building. He believes replacement stone from China is cheaper and just as good quality of stone quarried here. He is also researching reclaimed stone. He would like to proceed with the replacement stone while working with staff rather than the Commission.
Mr. Jarosz would like consultation with staff and a masonry expert that the HPC recommends.
Held so research can be done to determine if other stone alternatives exist and the cost.

| 0 | 10. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of house accent lighting in the front yard at 3002 W. State Street in the Concordia Historic District for Patrick Kennelly.
Minutes note: This item was taken up after item #1
Mr. Kennelly is spearheading the exterior lighting through the Concordia neighborhood. The fixtures will be selected based upon the house style and no lamp post fixtures will be used. The guidelines don't really address lawn lights rather than foundation lights They are proposing specific plantings, with HPC staff being opposed to the proposed lemon grass. Staff would like guidelines from the Commission.
Patrick Kennelly -- owner of 3002 W. State St. - the need for lights was identified by residents. They are happy to install the plants that staff has recommended and happy to implement recommendations from staff to preserve the historic nature of the neighborhood.
Ald. Bauman thought this was to improve the quality of street lighting and he wasn't aware flood lights on house facades was being proposed.
Ms. Keating Kahn noted she is aware of sensitive lighting in different areas of the city.
Held so a policy can be created and this can be investigated further.
