Certificate of Appropriateness Application
Dale Bruesewitz, 140 W. Chestnut Street, Burlington,
WI 53105
Mr. Bruesewitz was present to present his Certificate
of Appropriateness Application which proposed painting
the existing metal awning in addition to the trim work.
Colors presented were Roycroft Copper Red with three
stripes of Peace Yellow at each end of the awning. In
addition, the applicant proposed painting all wood trim
around and below the windows in Peace Yellow as
indicated in drawing provided.
The Commissioners discussed the non conforming metal
awning and felt the color choice for striping may need
enhancement. After some discussion, the Commissioners
discussed doing a Response Team Visit to determine if
colors were appropriate once the awning had been cleaned
and primed.
Chairman Stelling entertained a motion to recommend
approval of the Certificate of Appropriateness
Application to Dale Bruesewitz for his project at 140 W.
Chestnut Street to allow cleaning, priming and a sample
paint color on the awning to allow a Response Team Visit
to determine appropriate color details of the metal
awning and wood trim for final recommendation. Date of
Response Team Visit to be on August 7th or 8th,
with Mr. Bruesewitz contacting either Chairman Stelling
or Francesca Bumpurs to determine exact date and time.
Commissioner Strong motioned for approval, seconded by
Commissioner Henney. There was no further discussion,
all voted aye and motion carried.
Mr. Bruesewitz stated he may also be interested in
doing additional work on the façade. Chairman Stelling
indicated that additional work could be added, if
approved, by amending his Certificate of Appropriateness
Application once it is approved, or by submitting a new
application.

Review of §315-139, Certificate of Appropriateness
