Section 106 Reviews
a. 1128 Madeline – This Code Deficiency project will be funded with Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The project is to repair cracks in the
basement walls. Bill Case moved that adequate documentation has been
provided and there will be no historic properties affected by the current project
and the request should be approved by the Commission. Art Hernandez
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
New Business:
a. Missouri State Penitentiary National Register Nomination – Jayme gave the
Commissioners an update on the progress of the nomination including the
Commissions’ initial review and recommendations to the nomination when
reviewed the first time. The Commission had recommended that the nomination
be expanded to include criterion B, property is associated with the lives of
persons significant in our past; and D, property has yielded, or is likely to yield,
information important in prehistory or history. The revised nomination does not
include these criteria. In addition, the boundary lines were reduced to match what
was included in the Redevelopment Master Plan from 2004. Art Hernandez
expressed concern that the Commission was hamstrung by only being able to
consider criterion A and C. Mary Schantz asked if the additional criterion could
be added at some point in the future after the nomination was approved. Jayme
Abbott indicated that it could be. Art Hernandez moved the issue be tabled until
the October meeting of the Commission. Terri Rademan seconded the motion
adding that the Commission appreciated all the work that had been put into the
proposal. Motion carried.
b. Historic City of Jefferson Proposed Demolition Ordinance – Bill Case asked the
Commissioners to turn their attention to the most recent version of the Demolition
Ordinance drafted by the Historic City of Jefferson (HCJ). Mary Schantz noted
that the version distributed was slightly different that the version sent to the
Commission making it difficult to proceed without tim e to compare or without
someone familiar with the proposal there to answer questions. It was noted tha t
no one from HCJ was present. Art Hernandez expressed concern that it would
be impossible for the Commission to proceed in discussion without an HCJ
representative present. Mary Schantz asked if public hearings will be conducted
on the proposed ordinance. Rich Mihalevich, City Councilman from the Ward 2,
responded from the audience that if the proposed ordinance is approved by the
Commission it will move forward and will be reviewed by the Public Works
Department and will be presented at least two times to the full City Council. At
those meetings there will be an opportunity for public input. Art Hernandez
moved that the proposal be tabled until the October meeting and further that at
that meeting a representative of HCJ be in attendance and prepared to discuss
the proposal. Mary Schantz seconded the motion. Motion carried.
Dates to Remember:
a. Next Meeting October 13, 2015 – this may change if a joint regular and special
meeting is called to hear the HCJ presentation on the proposed demolition
ordinance.
b. Historic City of Jefferson, Homes Tours September 20, 2015
c. Missouri Preservation Conference, Cape Girardeau, October 21-23, 2015.
Adjournment:
Terri Rademan moved the meeting be adjourned at 6:20 pm. Doug Record
seconded the motion. Motion carried.
