220382 03.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for installing a new roof of different material type at 3357 N. Sherman Boulevard, in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District, for Andre Ash.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the estimated cost from Dave North was for $160,000 and he got a verbal estimate of $200,000 from another contractor and an estimate of $98,000 from Community Roofing. Ken Langer provided an estimate of $2,900 per day to make repairs and a additional cost for snowguards ($10,000). Dave North said the roof was unrepairable, while Langer said they could do repairs. The owner would like a red roof, so options are limited. With the cost estimates, Mr. Askin would lean towards the Brava (which is a composite). Work would probably be done in the spring, although the roofer said they could expedite it. Hold off until next month as Mr. Jarosz will contact the state about the acceptability of a composite roof and potential snowball effect if this is approved. He would also like to see photos of the roof deterioration.

220457 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of vinyl windows at 2857 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District, for Jon Zimmerman.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the applicant purchased this house in May and he wants to replace the windows as most are painted shut and for increased energy efficiency. The front windows will be kept as they are. The house is a Sears catalog house and was re-clad from stucco to brick in 1928. The interior of the home was modified, probably by property flippers. Staff recommends denial.

220577 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the construction of a new parish hall at 2618 N. Hackett Ave., in the Downer Avenue Commercial Historic District, for St. Mark’s Church.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said it is intended that the courtyard will be completed and the new building will be a front for the courtyard. The flat roof will have vegetation at the top. The banks of windows mimic the 1940s wall that was built. The back has a second staircase and an elevator tower. The stone on the church will not be cleaned and will stay that way. Staff recommends approval. Jim Shields - applicant

220578 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the removal of a masonry chimney at 2025 N. Lake Dr., in the North Point South Historic District, for Stefan Schnitzer.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said staff has typically been approving abandoned chimneys, but this is a more elaborate chimney, which is not visible from the street and is not in use. Because it is the same brick as the house, the staff decided to bring it before the Commission. Staff recommends approval with conditions. Approve with conditions.

220579 07.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of 15 solar panels on three portions of the roof, at 2756 N. Sherman Blvd., in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District, for Darrion Wyatt.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the panels are proposed for both sides on the sloping roof and the rear roof. The side sloping roofs would be visible from the sidewalk. Four are proposed for each of the front sloping sides. Staff recommended some possible alternative locations, which the contractor said cannot be used. Staff recommends approval of the panels on the rear and denial on both front roof slopes. Darrion Wyatt - owner Dustin Hill - SolEnergy - contractor - the back 7 panels are approved so he thanked the Commission for that. He is proposing putting the panels on only the upper part of the front sloping roofs, which would be more flush and less visible from the street. They currently have 7 panels in back that they could make to 8, and put 3 on the back side of the front slop and 4 on the flat portion of the roof above the ballast. Approve as amended at the table as none will be visible from the sidewalk.

220580 08.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of an existing garage and the construction of a new garage at 3001 W. McKinley Blvd., in the Cold Spring Park Historic District, for Brian and Donna Kenner.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the applicant and contractor have been working on a new design for the garage. The garage was built in 1914 and is on a corner so it is highly visible. Ms. Hatala feels the garage does have architectural significance and its demolition would be a detriment to the neighborhood. The owners would like to build a two-car garage in place of the existing garage following a garage design created by Paul Jakubovich. Staff appreciates the historic garage, but also understand that the owners need something they can use. Roy Averill - contractor - he likes this design best. The garage will be built from cedar boards while the house is primarily brick. Brian Kenner - owner - the current garage won't fit his own car both due to width and length. Approve with colors matching the house colors and using the Paul Jakubovich design. The Commission would like staff to be involved with the details, particularly with the selection of the garage door and its hardware.

220585 09.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the installation of a mural on the rear wall of 930 W. Historic Mitchell St., in the Mitchell Street Historic District, for Phoenix Mitchell LLC.

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said this building used to be Goldmann's Department Store. The mural is proposed for the rear wall, which is the main door for the services at this location (Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center). A number of the rear windows were either bricked up or boarded over while it was Goldmann's. Staff recommends approval, with conditions listed in the report. Anne Egan-Waukau - applicant - it will be easy to install and removable

220586 010.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the reconstruction of the porch wall and floor and an addition to the porch along the southwest wall, at 2205 N. Lake Drive, in the North Point South Historic District, for Eric Wagner.

Minutes note: Mr. Askin said the house has a complicated history that is not well-documented. There is a wrap-around porch on two sides, which needs to be re-built. There was a rear porch originally in 1894. The front porch was enclosed at a time, the columns were in the garage. The plan is to extend the porch on Kenilworth with a bowed front. Staff's biggest concern is a proposed rectractable awning attached to the porch roof - he believes that will throw off the massing. Staff would like more details on the landscaping and he has serious concerns about the canopy (would prefer to see umbrellas). Staff recommends approval with conditions for the porch excepting the canopy which recommends holding or denying that aspect of it. Staff fully supports the reconstruction and leaves it up to the Board on extension of the porch and consider requiring a landscape plan if the extension is approved. Therese Hanson - architect - they are struggling to find a brick match. Eric Wagner - owner - the existing porch, due to its configuration, is un-usable. Approve with matching the brick, denial of the awning and work with staff on the landscaping.

Minutes note: Mr. Askin said the owner wants to lower three windows to match the windows on the other side. Staff recommends approval.
