211581 01.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for new signage at 329 E. Wisconsin Ave. in the East Side Commercial Historic District for Kriete Group, David Kriete.

Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said this building was formerly occupied by Johnson Bank and the new occupant wants new signage. The proposed flat sign is too large, per Plan Exam, as it obscures the architectural design in the cornice. The designer said it would be changed, but she has not heard anything. The blade sign is not in dispute; just the horizontal sign as it obscures the cornice details. Staff recommends denial.

211685 08.ResolutionResolution relating to the Temporary Historic Designation of Columbia Hospital (Northwest Quadrant Building A) at 2015-2025 E. Newport Ave. in the 3rd Aldermanic District.

Minutes note: This item was heard out of order. Ms. Carlen Hatala presented the history on the building being nominated for designation, which moved to a new facility in 1919 on the east side. Although it was a Catholic institution it treated individuals of all religious denominations. The main entrance was created with the intention of creating a bigger, more formal entrance in the future. The hospital was top-of-the-line at the time. The facility, as intended, grew over time and an addition was added in 1931. A 1941 addition was added as well as a 1951 addition, which is closer to the street. The more-modern portions are outside of this designation. Ms. Hatala feels the complex meets three criteria: e-1, e-5 and e-6. Staff recommends temporary historic designation based on e-1, e-5 and e-6. Cate Miller - nominator Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to open a public hearing. Melissa Spadanuda - with the UW system - building is state-owned - they purchased the building in 2010. It isn't feasible for residential use and there is an Memorandum of Understanding that prohibits student housing. Ald. Nik Kovac - when he purchased this property he said it was a clear candidate for preservation. Their plan is to demolish the building and have green space, which doesn't add any value to the neighborhood. He supports the designation. Gail Fitch - 1733 N. Cambridge Ave. - supports the designation Jeremy Ebersoll - Milw. Preservation Alliance - supports the designation David Coles - lives in LA, but used to live in the neighborhood - supports the designation Ald. Bauman moved, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, to close the public hearing.
