190114 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a projecting sign at 1009 N. Old World 3rd Street, in the Old World 3rd Street Historic District, for HB Milwaukee, Inc.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is retroactive approval for an aluminum projecting sign. Last year a sign audit was done of Old World Third Street. The sign is also lower than 10 feet from the sidewalk; this sign 8 feet 6 inches above the sidewalk. A permit needs to be obtained for this sign as well. Atty. Andrew Arena - this sign has been at this height for 14 years and has never been a safety issue for pedestrians or traffic. If razed up, it would interfere with the "Who's on Third" sign. Moved to approve as being grandfathered in; this action does not affect future decisions or set precedent.

   47. Certified Local Government Review of the National Register Nomination for the House at 2463 North Palmer Street, Jones-Hill House, in the 6th Ald. District.

Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said this was held at the May meeting due to the loss of the quorum. The house was built in 1905 for William Conrad, a successful tannery owner. Members of the family owned the house through 1953 and was eventually sold to an African American couple who converted this to a 3-family. The main staircase was removed. Willie Jones started his own business delivering ice and coal, operated a pool hall, and started a jazz club and assorted real estate holdings. The house was sold and then used as rental housing; the basement was used as an underground club. In 1997, the house was returned to single-family status. Staff recommends support of the nomination. Ms. Keating Kahn moved, seconded by Ms. Peltz, to grant the nomination. There were no objections.
