5740022 · September 8, 2025

Summary

The Historic Preservation Commission granted six‑month mothball extensions for long‑term window projects at properties on Grant Boulevard and Westport Sunlight Way, and ratified a group of staff‑approved Certificates of Appropriateness and the August 4 minutes.

The Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission approved short-term extensions and routine ratifications during its meeting.

For item 200878, the commission granted a six-month extension of mothball status and the Certificate of Appropriateness process at 2863 North Grant Boulevard for Lashonda Anderson to allow continued work with a contractor (Thoughtful Craftsman) and to address structural porch issues that delayed window replacement. The applicant requested the extension and staff recommended approval; the motion carried unanimously.

For item 231339, Wesley S. Bentel of 2610 Westport Sunlight Way reported windows had been ordered and picked up, and staff recommended a six-month extension to issue a COA so installation and trim could proceed using an agreed aluminum-clad simulated divided light window (a JELD-WEN aluminum-clad unit, 6-over-6). The commission approved the six-month extension unanimously.

The commission also ratified a series of staff-approved Certificates of Appropriateness (items 250652 through 250074) and approved minutes from the Aug. 4 meeting by unanimous vote. These ratifications were presented as routine and were carried without extended discussion.

No new conditions beyond the usual COA process were imposed for these mothball extensions; staff will issue COAs and follow up on installation and compliance as windows are installed.

The meeting then proceeded to other agenda items.
