Historic board tables several applications, including 1030 Park Avenue and 1014 West First
Summary
On March 24 the City of Madison Historic District Board of Review tabled multiple applications pending additional information or approvals and recorded staff approvals for several small items.
At its March 24 meeting the City of Madison Historic District Board of Review tabled several applications and recorded staff approvals for minor items.
The board tabled the application for 1014 West First (applicant Janine Wise) because required public‑notice signage had not been posted at the property. Janine Wise and David Wise attended; staff told the applicant the sign is available from the board office and must be posted 15 days prior to the hearing. The board voted to table the application; recorded yes votes were Mike Pittman, Bill Jewell, Ken McWilliams, Ryan Rogers, Jared Anderson and Judd Scullen.
The board also tabled the application from Robin Mingione for 1030 Park Avenue. Mingione and her consultant described plans for a rear enclosed addition and an accessory garage on an adjacent vacant lot; board members said the concept showed promise but required clearer site plans, precise dimensions, and confirmation from city departments (water/sewer/street) about the meter and driveway location before the board could act on exterior construction beyond the existing footprint. The board moved to table the Park Avenue application until the next meeting; recorded yes votes were Mike Pittman, Bill Jewell, Ken McWilliams, Ryan Rogers, Jared Anderson and Judd Scullen.
Separately, the board agreed to table an application for 822 (and a half) West Third (Tom Pritchard) because the applicant did not appear. The board noted applicants who do not appear may need to reapply.
Earlier in the agenda the board also indicated one application (709 Elm Street) must be tabled at the applicant’s request until the property obtains Department of Natural Resources floodplain approval; staff characterized the needed approval as a floodplain determination by DNR. That item was discussed and the board moved to table it so staff may obtain the required DNR clearance before the Historic District Board hears the matter.
In the meeting’s staff report, board staff said several small items had already received staff approval (not requiring board action): removal of a non‑original backyard sidewalk at Karen Modesett’s property, a sign change at First Street Saloon, replacement of one vinyl window with wood at 135 East Main, and approval related to door changes and porch step work for the Park Avenue applicant.
These tablings leave applicants with clear next steps: supply posted public‑notice signs where required, provide detailed dimensions and site plans for new construction or accessory buildings, and obtain any required external approvals (for example, DNR floodplain clearance or utility clarification) before the board will consider exterior work beyond the existing house footprints.
