Charlie, the city’s preservation staff, told the commission the 2025 paint-and-repair allocation is $25,000, with $9,716 previously committed and about $15,284 remaining before the meeting’s actions. Charlie noted a leftover $350 from an incomplete project and said awards require county paperwork and SHPO review prior to payment.

Aaron Spencer, a resident of 630 West College Avenue, spoke during public comment to welcome new commissioners and urged continued attention to the restoration of Hobo Spring in Grama Park; commissioners thanked him and asked staff to keep him updated. Charlie said recent volunteer and student work had cleared muck from the spring’s basin and that Public Works removes clogs that block the drain to the river.

Commissioners also discussed and approved corrections to the previous meeting’s minutes so that public commenters are listed and the roll call attendance reflects seven voting members rather than an earlier erroneous count of four. The commission agreed to follow up with applicants who did not appear for scheduled items and to re-notice those items on a future agenda if necessary.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Waukesha, WI - Landmarks Commission on 2025-07-09 6:00 PM - Jul 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission reviewed the paint-and-repair grant program budget, thanked a public commenter on the Hobo Springs restoration, and approved corrections to prior minutes to list public commenters and attendance counts.","taxTitle","Waukesha City, Waukesha County, Wisconsin","taxId",9326,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6519761,"Landmarks commission approves composite tile and copper gutters for 406 Windsor Drive with caveats",822,1538000,2360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346158-4bf6c0d4445cf431c2014896954a9b4c&start=1538&end=2360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346158-4bf6c0d4445cf431c2014896954a9b4c/thumbnail_1538000.jpg","/articles/6519761/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Landmarks-commission-approves-composite-tile-and-copper-gutters-for-406-Windsor-Drive-with-caveats","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519761-d8bfabe0c7d12bde4bd2e155f7d2f3d2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189234&Signature=XC2yIZcw9koQux6S-UynE8M9lxc09hcvCLaUMyNHhWcl6y57YuytHaszPvsXQQUtiEyEmWxY2UFa3UlGfsPyh7fagq~e5cZQjl1l5L7s4genPeu6pI0WWmCvv-FKuoGGygDZsmS~i5UA4RnCcBpLIpZJtpGZoy8TWhhb5NJfqisxnyn04GswvOpAiJIZFYvEQbZksl6Kn9VaLLKmTpMFN5KnSgzfDwxDPzCycFmRaEU14kENtGGRqO6tnD0CN9zsSAJvHOxxlAnf6MdJjk9y9pRvdqbKCKtLNSuOzHtkP4GMg8BHzmyq2zZXqpwVdpZ~J0a344JEK-bF5RtoBfUgHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waukesha Landmarks Commission on July 9 approved a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for a composite tile roof and copper gutters at 406 Windsor Drive, a Colonial Revival house built in 1938, but added a formal caveat requiring the owner to notify the commission if the chosen materials change.

Commissioners spent the meeting’s longest period on the item, discussing material appearance, longevity, installation risk and potential impacts on state historic tax credits. John Rosenberg, the homeowner and applicant, described multiple contractor estimates ranging from about $42,000 to $90,000 for various replacement options and said he had recently received a written review that raised durability concerns about the proposed polymer/composite tile product.

Rosenberg said the contractor estimates varied depending on the approach; he told the commission about a recent Technical Review: \"the polymer shingles were already beginning to warp and fade,\" he recounted from a reviewer’s field observation. Commissioners noted there is no local stock of matching clay tile and that replacement with an exact historic material would be costly and often infeasible.

Carmen Dela Paz, chair, explained the commission’s position that while historic materials are preferred, the body has in some cases allowed modern alternatives when necessary. A majority of commissioners said the proposed composite tile approximated the house’s appearance from the street and that the applicant had shown good-faith effort to find alternatives. Commissioners and staff urged the owner to buy spare tiles for future repairs and emphasized careful installation.

The commission’s motion approved the Bravo composite tile in a Tuscan clay color, copper case-style gutters and new copper chimney flashing and trim as presented. Approval included a specific direction that the owner must return to the commission if the material choice changes; staff and commissioners also recorded that choosing the composite product could jeopardize eligibility for Wisconsin state historic-preservation tax credits.

Commission discussion cited multiple contractors and options the homeowner reviewed (Renaissance Roofing, Bulldog, and others), the owner’s preferred contractor Bulldog (local), and industry alternatives such as DaVinci and other composite slate/ tile products. Commissioners recorded that warranty claims and long-term product performance are the owner’s responsibility; the commission recommended the owner obtain multiple written estimates and clarified the installation risks associated with using a newer composite product on a large roof.

The motion passed on a voice vote by the commissioners present. Staff will record the COA and the condition that the owner notify the commission if materials change. The owner said he would return with revised materials if needed and would proceed cautiously given the recent reviewer comments about polymer tile durability.","After lengthy discussion of materials, costs and installation risk, the Waukesha Landmarks Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a composite 'Bravo' tile roof (Tuscan clay color) and copper gutters at 406 Windsor Drive, with the owner told to return if materials change and warned that state tax credits may be jeopardized.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6519766,"Waukesha Landmarks Commission approves $2,925 paint grant for 517 Madison St.",338,732000,1070000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5346158-4bf6c0d4445cf431c2014896954a9b4c&start=732&end=1070","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5346158-4bf6c0d4445cf431c2014896954a9b4c/thumbnail_732000.jpg","/articles/6519766/Waukesha-City/Waukesha-County/Wisconsin/Waukesha-Landmarks-Commission-approves-2925-paint-grant-for-517-Madison-St","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6519766-b8eb6879ecfae8a7b52e1de38d1a5854/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189234&Signature=DlX4ueQQP0pSjpDiUjeA8r4nC6eGua9rfxtkjDSxh-oXd9L5bdfx9L4nx~9zePbMaQhf620ZOF-darxPe59guu1KutEzdnyixVkCVtf19XnzZ2odz1GQKi72fUGWjWytwF4q9kL9dhyK9uIhVyf3fbQJPSCqpvhOtpCPR81zGXm~1jiDbSqs98xBkzxHeBOWtZqMlKkto1JvqNXh9V-Mz7UosqBCM7uBYRAkfyqI-TrSXnDKwul2cqucLEPoYmsy4s4frEml7askgCLEVFkqJO3soedwCV3bL0zw3WCgo7euGPAJCzfkCr677HnOkfVKn-egyM9XdIHr5FdwnnQZSA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Waukesha Landmarks Commission on July 9 approved a $2,925 paint-and-repair grant for 517 Madison Street, a Queen Anne–style house in the Madison Street Historic District. The commission approved the award by voice vote after hearing from the homeowners and staff about the project's scope.

The grant pays roughly 15% of the applicants' estimated $19,500 painting contract, within the program's typical guideline (grants are generally about 15% of project cost up to $3,000). Charlie (city staff) told the commission that the house’s Certificate of Appropriateness had been approved on June 5 and that the applicants had provided photos and an estimate for labor and materials.

Commission discussion and applicant remarks focused on scope and timing. Anne Doleski, the homeowner, confirmed that work had begun: \"It started being painted this past Monday,\" she said. Richard Riojas, also present, and commissioners noted the house’s detailed trim work and the time such a paint job requires. Commissioners asked about minor wood repairs and gutter work; the applicants said gutter repairs would likely be addressed in a later season.

Commission staff reported that the landmarks paint-and-repair program has a $25,000 allocation for the year, with $9,716 already committed and $15,284 available before the commission’s action. Charlie said all awards are conditional on paperwork and compliance reviews by Waukesha County and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).

The motion to approve the $2,925 grant for 517 Madison Street was made and seconded on the record and carried by voice vote; the commission recorded the motion as approved by the commissioners present. The approval included the standard condition that final disbursement and project completion documentation be submitted to city staff and SHPO for review.

The commission asked staff to follow up with the homeowner if the remaining 2025 funds are needed for another pending project and to relay next steps for compliance and payment processing. The commission’s action does not obligate disbursement until county and SHPO sign-offs are complete.","The City of Waukesha Landmarks Commission approved a paint-and-repair grant of $2,925 for the Captain Elihu Enos house at 517 Madison Street, citing the house's condition and historic detail; awards remain conditional on county and state historic-preservation review.","actionData","errors"]
