171814 02.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for multiple signs at 1013 N. Old World Third Street in the Old World Third Street Historic District for Scott Schaefer of Milwaukee Brat House LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is retroactive approval relating to sign height and none of the signs on the front or back of the building have COAs or Dept. of Neighborhood Services permits. On the front wall, that sign is basically compliant and he recommends approval as existing. The projecting signs both are in violation of sign code due to the low height and staff recommends denial. Staff feels the best solution is to remove the neon sign from the bracket and keep the painted sign and BOZA already granted permission for the painted sign even though it is below the standard height. BOZA approved despite objections from the departments of City Development, Neighborhood Services and Public Works. The neon sign could be located behind a window and he does not support having it added to the front facade in a different area. The pole sign should be denied as being excessive signage. The rear signage has zero visibility from the public right of way and staff has no objections. Staff recommendations are included in the staff report. The applicant would like to retain the neon sign, although he is not as attached to the pole sign. Karen Peugh - 117 W. Reservoir - she would encourage them to plant trees Ms. Peltz moved for approval with staff conditions, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.

180191 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for landscaping alterations, construction of fences, reconstruction of the east porch, and construction of garden structures at 3209 W. Wells Street, the George Schuster House, an individually designated historic property, for Rick and Laura Sue Mosier.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the project is an elebarate garden design with changes to the porch. The porch is not attached, it's a floating porch. Staff has no serious issues with the landscaping, some minor concerns with the fencing in front as the land is unusable due to security issues with the neighborhood as people cut across their property all the time. The fence will be 36" in height; the proposed dogwood tree might be disallowed due sight line issues. The pavers in the yard will be all lime stone and the fountain will match that. The gate will be steel and the fence will be aluminum. Staff has no objections to the reconstructed porch. The pergola is acceptable with some conditions relating to the details and feels the brackets are too complex while the posts are too simple. Staff recommends approval of the fence portion that are in the front line of the house shall run only with the current owner and shall expire upon sale. Ald. Bauman is concerned that this is not legal, but the owner does not object to this condition. Mr. Askin suggested working with staff relating to the design of the upper half. Ms. Keating Kahn moved for approval with first 3 condtions listed in the staff report, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eiesenbrown.

180239 08.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of an addition to the garage at 1823 N. Palmer Street in the Brewers Hill Historic District for Stephen J. Bialk.

Minutes note: RECESS: 3:45 P.M. RECONVENE: 4:01 P.M. Mr. Tim Askin said two proposed additions are being added to an existing garage, which is living space that serves as an air bnb. The lath house wil be used as garden space and has wood slats, but there is no meaningful enclosure. The slats defuse the light and wind and the property is used for gardening and for weddings. The main house is Italianate, very elaborate and has a large lot. It has become a destination for garden groups. The applicant is also proposing a connector space between the lath house and the carriage barn. Mr. Bialk said he bought the 3 city lots in 1985 and has been working on the property ever since. Lath houses function as shade houses and he'll use it as a focal point in the garden. The architect is Ryan Shortbridge, who also offered testimony. Staff got two new variations this morning, so the staff report is out of date. The buildings function as backdrops for the gardens and will be natural wood or stained. Mr. Askin thinks the lathe house is too flat and would like to see a recessed panel in the connector. There will also be a deck so someone can overlook the garden. Ms. Peltz moved subject to staff approval of the details based on the latest set of drawings submitted at today's hearing, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.
