221063 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a conceptual approval Certificate of Appropriateness for general rehabilitation of the Schlitz Tavern, at 2249 N. Humboldt Boulevard, an individually designated property, for proposed purchaser Dark Horse Development.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this was heard in June 2019 under a different developer. The building is in bad shape and has been degrading over time. The general plan is food cart pods, fencing along the whole property line, seating, stage area and interior seating as well. The elevator tower will have to front on North Ave., based on where the stairs are located. Staff recommends conceptual approval with conditions outlined in the Staff Report, which have been discussed with DCD and the developer. Mr. Robinson has been inside this building and, in general, he really likes the concept. He likes the outdoor use of space that ties into the building. Mr. Garcia would like to see a proposal that includes parking. Clarence Morris - developer - he has done a number of food-related developments. The plan is to have someone try out their ideas on a smaller scale and grow to a brick and mortar operation if they are successful. They have a Class "B" tavern license. He estimates the cost to be $700,000 as he can do a lot of work in-house, therefore cheaper. Ms. Peltz is also concerned about the lack of parking, as well.

221070 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for the redesign of a previously approved rear staircase at 785 N. Jefferson Street, in the Jefferson Street Historic District, for Zetjeff LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said a two-story staircase isn't required, so they would prefer to copy the existing staircase. Staff recommends approve as proposed. The front basement railing needs to be replaced and they would like to do a 32" railing, instead of the standard 42" railing. The code does permit a replica with a shorter height for a commercial property. Tom Vavra - architect

221062 08.ResolutionSubstitute resolution granting the appeal of the Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of the existing building at 1101 W. Historic Mitchell Street and the construction of a new five-story mixed use building at the same location, 1101 W. Historic Mitchell Street, in the Mitchell Street Historic District, for Zuwena Cotton.

Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said the demolition will be voted on first. A store called "The Grand" was formerly at this site and was constructed in 1891, a very tiny part of that facade which still remains. Ms. Hatala went through the history of the building, which included removal of the original towers. There are a number of criteria for demolition, which Ms. Hatala went through, those which were met or were not met. The staff thinks the building is a good candidate for restoration or rehabilitation. Staff does not support demolition. Zuwena Cotton - property owner - she didn't buy this property with the intention of demolishing it. The Grand store was closed 42 years, Walgreens was in there and there is currently a beauty supply store, which occupies 12,000 square feet of a 70,000 square foot building. She does have financing lined up to finance the project. Jim Jendusa - engineer - structurally the building is adequate, but the facade is damaged, wndows need to be fixed and the central entry to the builidng was changed in 1984. Melissa Schwartz - on staff for Zuwena Cotton Ald. Jose Perez - her proposal exceeds what could be there and has a lot of art deco elements. Min Kim - son of the owner of the beauty supply company that is the current tenant -they have a lease until 2027 and don't know where they will be going for 18 months during construction. Chris Laurent - real estate company - in favor Dan Didier - representing the BID - supports the development Zachary Peterson - Milwaukee Preservation Alliance - opposed Move to raze by Ald. Bauman. Seconded by Rafael. Failed. 3-4 (Mr. Jarosz, Ms. Keating Kahn, Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown and Ms. Peltz voting "no"; Mr. Garcia, Ald. Bauman and Mr. Hans Robinson voting "aye")
