| 0 | 3. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for window replacement at 530 N. Water Street, in the East Side Commercial Historic District, for 530 North Water LLC.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the proposal is to install 3 vinyl windows on the second floor rear windows and a false window for the ventilation system. The work has already been done. The original rear wall hasn't looked as it was built since 1961. The four windows in back are in three different styles. Staff supports the concept, but not the vinyl windows. Staff would support aluminum windows. Staff recommends denial of all 4 windows, but encourages aluminum or wood windows.
Will resubmit with aluminum windows, which can be approved by staff. | PLACED ON FILE | Pass | 6:0 |

| 0 | 6. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for adding a side porch and other alterations at 1911 N. 2nd Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Carol Storm.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is another side porch in Brewer's Hill. The entire existing side porch will be removed and the rear stair case will be removed and railings replaced with more appropriate railings.

| 0 | 7. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new combined garage and accessory dwelling unit at 1911 N. 2nd Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Carol Storm.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the proposal is to add a one-story building on an existing parking pad, which wil be a combined garage and living space. Staff does have some concerns about size as it's the maximum possible width for the setback; they are requesting a variance for the rear setback. The owner will have to go to BOZA for having a second living unit on the property. The proposal is for a combined garage and a second living unit. The living unit would be four feet from the alley line, which is the minimum setback for a garage, while the minimum setback for a living unit is 15 feet. Their neighbor is the North Shore bank parking lot and Mr. Askin recommends a 6 foot setback so a semi-larger car could get into the garage. The garage must have alley access per the Brewers Hill guidelines. Staff is comfortable with a reduced setback, but not to a four foot setback. The design generally fits. Staff does need final details on the windows and the siding. The building does not meet some of the criteria for a living unit; the plan is to move in an elderly relative. The neighbor on the south does have a concern. Staff recommends approval with conditions.
Dan - neighbor to the south; owner will work with him to not limit access to his property with the shared sidewalk.
Approved with conditions and all parties are agreeable.

| 0 | 8. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for constructing a connector building between the barn and carriage house at 1823 N. Palmer Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Steve Bialk and Angela Duckert.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said houses just came and went on that property from 1890 to 1954. Currently two connector buildings are being proposed - one pretty simple with plumbing; the other one is two stories. Staff feels that this has hit the point of too much on this site; the owner has been a good caretaker, but this raises significant zoning issues relating to connecting buildings which then become principal buildings. It also conflicts with the Brewers Hill guidelines relating to setbacks and spacing between buildings on the property. Steve Bialk said the lot size is over 3.5 city lots. He views this house as a 20-year project. He built a garden and the carriage house was approved in the mid-90s and that functions as an AirBNB. The breezeway was approved in 2018, along with the lathe house, but he never built it as an ADA bathroom was requested by the city; he has to re-do the plumbing to accomplish that. The little addition will be completed shortly. He wants to build a mock stables to match his existing barn. He tore down an 8-car garage and constructed a carriage house; the structure length along the alley is less than the 8-car garage. The only part you will see is looking up the alley. He is open to anything within reason to tie together so he and his wife can stay there for the next 15 years. This was a rooming house once, which is why it had an 8-car garage.
Jim Milla - architect
Ald. Bauman isn't concerned about the mass, but about the mishmash of the designs.
Mr. Jarosz and Ms. Peltz were concerned that these structures may not be permitted by zoning and HPC might be wasting its time.
Ms. Hatala wants consistency in scale and architectural elements so it doesn't look like things were just thrown together.
Held so the applicant can present more detailed drawings and also work on other possible designs. | HELD IN COMMITTEE | Pass | 6:0 |

| 0 | 9. | Resolution | Resolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for repair of the Ravine Road concrete arch bridge in Lake Park, 3133 E. Newberry Boulevard, in the North Point North Historic District, for Milwaukee County.
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said staff has been awaiting this project for a long time and overall it's pretty good. The bridge was completed in 1906. There are major issues with the bridge structurally with the balusters, wing walls, abutments, railings, approaches and staircase. The concrete is falling off all over the place and Mr. Askin believes a substantial rebuild is needed. Staff has one remaining concern about the elastomere coating product - some sort of coating is necessary, but what that coating is beyond staff experience. There probably isn't much original concrete left. Staff doesn't know about the coating, but everything else is ready to go except for the design of the bollards. The county did provide additional documents at 11:00 a.m. today. Ald. Bauman is concerned that the bollards are very large. Staff recommends approval and hold the coating for a month.
Sarah Toosman - county staff
Rich Johnson - consultant - the elastomere coat is better for long-term structure
Colleen Reilly Lake Park Friends - the coater will make the bridge look painted.
