| 0 | 2. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the terracing of the front lawn, construction of retaining walls and new stairs, removal of various front yard plantings, and replacing defective downspouts at 2623 N. Wahl Avenue in the North Point North Historic District for Jeff and Kristi Leswing.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that scaffolding issues were resolved through staff approval. This is retroactive approval for work on the terracing, steps, downspouts and other exterior work. Staff recommends approval of the work on the gutters and downspouts. The berm was terraced in 2014 which was noted as a result of the scaffolding. The applicant is using the terraced front yard as a victory garden to grow vegetables, which staff doesn't object to, but it does object to the terracing. Neighbor would like the retaining wall along the driveway removed. Staff also recommends approval of repaving with the bluestone. A railing is also required on each set of stairs.
Jeff Leswing - owner - feels that the garden adds more value and times have changed
Dr. Joan Gnadt - neighbor who objects to the foot of the retaining wall which was added and is not part of the original retaining wall.
Staff could approve the railing design.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, for approval of the downspouts and the stairway. There were no objections.
Commission would like to hold this until summer 2018 so the applicant can work with staff and to hold off Dept. of Neighborhood Services action. | ADOPTED | Pass | 4:1 |

| 0 | 3. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for alterations to the front landscaping and replacement of stairs at 2655 N. Lake Drive in the North Point North Historic District for Andy Schiesl.
Minutes note: The work was done without a certificate and the applicant is not the current owner as he has sold the property Railings must also be installed as more than three steps. The step planters interfere with the berm and the first planting bed is also an encroachment. There are also lighting concerns with some of lights as detailed in the staff report. The plantings also need to be changed.
Gary Urban - Hawks Landcape - the homeowner wanted some color in the front yard and there are other houses with much larger retaining walls. The stone matches the capstones on the house. A railing will be installed. The stone will patina down in a few years.
Ali Schiesl - previous owner who did the work - she wanted the lighting for security purposes. They tried to do the work tastefully.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to direct the owner to install appropriate railings, obtain DPW encroachment permission, reduce the width of the planting beds and approve limited uplighting, but remove the path lighting, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. Prevailed. 5-0

| 0 | 5. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for installation of a metal fence with masonry piers and electric lights at 2401 W. Wisconsin Avenue, the Eagles Club, an individually designated historic property, for Eagles Auditorium, Inc.
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said the work has already been completed without a certificate. The owner installed fencing around the front parking lot. One concern is the fence height, which is illegal under the zoning code. Ms. Hatala would like a ruling on the fence design as well as the lighting on the piers. Ald. Bauman is fine with the fence design and height, although he sees the issue with the lighting on the fence which he leaves to the Commission. He actually sees the fence as an improvement.
Joe Balestrieri - signatory of the trust - the building had 280 building violations in 1981. He was told the fence shouldn't exceed 6 feet and he didn't realize he needed a COA as not eligible for historic tax credits. The lights are for security for the kids leaving the events. They matched the existing lights.
Atty. Brian Randall
Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to approve the fence proper. There were no objectons.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown moved to deny the lighting and return with new proposed lighting, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There were no objections. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Substitute resolution granting Permanent Historic Designation of the property at 1338-1340 West Juneau Avenue, the Pabst Tavern Juneau Avenue, in the 4th aldermanic district.
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said that Mr. Eaves is a member of the church and the area is experiencing a lot of disinvestment. The east elevation is very minimal and has blank walls as there was once a very close adjacent building. The rear elevation has replacement windows with some blocked off. The east facade on Juneau Ave. has glass block windows and a replacement door. The building still has some wonderful masonry work. There originally was a cemetery in this location from 1846 to 1861 and there are still remains being found as sporadic development continues in the area. There was originally a frame grocery store on the site and the current masonry building was constructed in 1896 and run as a saloon. The building has been a church since 1960 under various congregations, usually Baptist.
Meets e-1, e-5, and e-6 criteria for designation.
Ald. Bauman moved to open public hearing. Seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. There were no objections.
Ald. Bauman moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown. There were no objections.

| 0 | 8. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the reconstruction of the south wall with a substitute masonry veneer at 2446 - 2448 N. Lake Drive in the North Point North Historic District for Richard Langdon.
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said this was heard in July with stone replacing brick. The original brick, Persiantex, only had a limited production and there is not enough remaining brick to use. The current proposal is to use a color blend that matches and has a similar texture, with the removal of the stone that was put on the facade without HPC approval.
Staff recommends approval of the color blend with the texture.
Rick Langdon - has samples of what would be used.
Staff would also like to get a sample of the mortar mocked up for review.
Approve with mortar review and staff to make final determination of the masonry color.

| 0 | 10. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a combined garage and deck at 2019 N. Palmer Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Joseph & Elizabeth Sedita.
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said the applicant is proposing to decrease the backyard size and is proposing a two-car garage with a deck. The garage would be 29 feet in height with one large door and a single window in the gable end. The side facing the house will have stairs leading up to a deck with an entry door to storage space in the upper area and steps down to get into the garage below grade level. The owner is proposing LP Smartside siding, which staff does not support; it supports wood siding, such as cedar or cement board. The back half of the garage is a deck. Staff also does not support the proposed doors. Staff thinks the garage is 50 square feet too large for the site as required by code which is a BOZA issue. Staff recommends denial of the project, but if approved there are conditions listed in the staff report.
Joseph Sedita - owner - the drawings were amended to reflect a 10 foot sidewall. There are multiple garages with flat roofs and decks. He is fine with changing the siding. He does not want glass in the garage door. He will work with staff on the garage door. The owner was okay with a longer overhang on the deck so the proportions look better.
Larry Roffers - lives directly north of them. He fully supports the garage.
Approval with a longer overhang. | ADOPTED | Pass | 5:0 |

Held so drawings can be provided, cost estimates and work with staff.
