At the direction of this Committee, City staff has been engaged in determining the method and costs associated w ith installing festival style electrical connections along High Street in the Downtown area . At this time we are considering four blocks which include High Street from Washington Street to Monroe Street and Madison Street from High Street to Capitol Avenue . Based on bids that we rece ived for similar work on the Capitol Avenue project we are estimating that the cost of the electrical portion of this project to be appro ximately $95 ,000 per block or $380,000 for all four proposed blocks. In addition it has been estimated that there are around $250 ,000 worth of repairs that need to be made to the sidewalk and street to restore them to a good condition . These repairs include the removal of the remaining trolley tracks under portions of the street and the replacement of c racked and deteriorated sidewalk panels. When the street and sidewalk repairs are considered together w ith the electrical items the cost of the project is estimated to be $630,000. With the Committee endorsement staff will begin the design process and peruse finalization of the funding for the project. If you have any questions I can be reached at 634-6433 .

Passed: _____________ _ Approved: ____________ _ Presiding Officer Mayor Carrie Tergin ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: City Clerk City Counselor DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES MEMORANDUM TO: Public Works and Planning Committee THROUGH: Sonny Sanders, Interim Director of Planning and Protective Services FROM: Jayme Abbott, Neighborhood Services Manager DATE: April17, 2017 RE: Historic Pres erva tion Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Historic Preservation Commission: The City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) came into existence in 1983. In 2003, the City began participation in the Missouri Certified Local Government Program (CLG). The CLG program, administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources' State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), is designed to expand the historic preservation network of federal and state governments by creating a mechanism for participation of local governments. Requi re ments for participation in the Missouri CLG program include enacting a historic preservation o rdinance, appointing a preservation commission, conducting an ongoing survey and inventory of historic properties, and conducting publ ic outreach and education. The volunteers appointed to the HPC work to encourage and assist with the identification and preservation of sites, buildings, structures and objects which reflect the community's cultural, historical, and architectural heritage. CLG requires that commission members must be drawn from profess ionals in architecture, architectural history, history, prehistoric and historic archaeology, planning, urban design, cultural geography, cultural anthropology, folklore, curation, conservation, landscape architecture, or any other related disciplines or fields related to historic preservation. The HPC also reviews demolition requests forwarded to it by the city Department of Planning & Protective Services (PPS) in accordance Section 8-32. If the building is over 50 years old or has historic significance, the department forwards a copy of the application to HPC for review. The HPC has a sixty {60) day period for review of the demolition application to evaluate the building for architectural, cultural, and historic significance. The condition of the building and the feas ib i lity of rehabilitation are also a part of the established review criteria taken into consideration . Based on the commission's findings, the demolition application is returned to PPS with a recommendation for approval or disapproval. If HPC recommended disapproval, then the sixty {60) day period would expire prior to issuing the permit barring other issues being identified. PWPC Memo Page 1 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 Proposed Demolition Ordinance: In September 2015, the Historic City of Jefferson (HCJ) brought forth a proposed demolition ordinance to the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission. HCJ is a local non-for-profit organization that is not a City commission or board, but has an interest in historic preservation. The City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission reviewed the HCJ demolition proposal and voted to amend the document. The City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission created a sub- committee to specifically review the City's Demolition Ordinance within is located within Chapter 8 of the City Code. During the February 28, 2017, Specia I Meeting, the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission approved their version of the proposed demolition ordinance. On March 27, 2017, City staff sent an email blast to organizations, members of the general public, and those who have provided email contact information from previous public meetings, that comments are being collected for the proposed demolition ordinance as drafted by the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission. Information on the proposed ordinance was provided on the City's website at www.jefferson c itym o .gov/live play/history herita ge/historic preservation.php . PPS Staff are also proposing a number of other (mostly minor) amendments within Chapter 8 of the City Code. The Draft Council Bill is broken down into 6 sections. A brief summary of each section is as follows: Section 8-32 Permit to demolish historic buildings Section A-C A "Historic Preservation Commission Boundary" is established for reviewing properties that are fifty (50) years and older. The boundary roughly covers Belair Dr. on the west, Stadium Blvd. on the south, Grant St. on the east and Missouri River on the north. All other properties that do not lie within the designated boundary would not be subject to the historic preservation review unless designated as a local landmark, local historic district and/or National Register of Historic Places. Section D Definition of demolishing or removing was prepared from a variety of sources including other municipalities' ordinances and commission research of available historic resources. Section E Specifically identifies items required to be submitted as part of the demolition application for historic buildings. Existing demolition application includes the historic preservation checklist (Cultural Resource Assessment), and interior & exterior photographs. The proposed ordinance would add the inclusion of a map identifying the location of the property, plot plan showing the principal and/or accessory building footprints, and statement from owner as to why property cannot be rehabilitated or sold at a reasonable price. Section F This section represents bulk of the changes to the current demolition ordinance • Much like Planning and Zoning Commission, the property will be posted with a sign indicating demolition permit has been submitted, notification sent to affected property owners within PWPC Memo Page 2 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 185 ft. of the subject property including the time, date and place of public hearing. Also includes, posting of notice of public hearing at city hall and on city's website. • City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission has 60 days from date of complete application submission to provide a recommendation on the issuance of the demolition permit. The 60 day review period is not a change from the current code. Recommendation on the demolition permit based on: historic value by reason of age; association with important figures/events; history of Jefferson City, State of Missouri or United States; or architectural style, construction or work of an historically notable architect, designer or draftsperson. visual and spatial relationship to designated or potential historic landmarks or historic districts; and/or a perceived state of deterioration or disrepair in relation to the historic integrity of the property. • If City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission recommends denying the demolition permit application the application is then forwarded on to City Council. • If City Council rejects the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission recommendation to deny, the demolition permit application is suspended for at least 30 days after City Council determination. During the 30 day suspension, the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission may take action to consult with civic groups, agencies, and other interested parties; acquisition of the property by a 3'' party; explore moving the building(s); submittal of landmark application or initiate historic district designation. • If City Council affirms the City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission denial recommendation, the applicant may appeal to the Circuit Court for a final decision. Section 8-33 Penalties & permit fee for historic buildings Sets the penalty for unlawful demolition at $1,000 which is the maximum amount allowed by statute. Also identifies that the demolition permit fee for historic building is set differently than non-historic buildings. This fee would help offset posting of signs, mailings, staff time, etc. The City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission recommends setting the fee at $210.00. Sections 8-34 Permit to demolish buildings not meeting the definition of historic buildings in Sec. 8-32 Details the process for all demolition applications for buildings not meeting the definition of historic buildings.

Rev. 3/31/2009 7 PWPC Memo Page 11 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 Summary of Written Comments: (comments received from 49 people, list of names are attached along with full comments) A. Opposed Comments: Thirteen (13) comments were received opposing the proposed demolition ordinance. Below is a summary of responses. • This proposal will add time, cost, and uncertainty to developing older structures in the city limits making them less attractive to developers and causing these structures that are in need of rehab from being done because of the risks associated. • A developer could be caught in a government created Catch 22 with a structure that unbeknownst to them has "historic value" according to HPC but because of state of the property isn't redeemable. • Determining "historic value" is a completely subjective exercise which means that the enforcement of the proposed law will be arbitrary and arbitrary laws can be enforced effectively. • The supporters of this proposal argue that it's in the public's benefit to keep these structures but enforcement of this ordinance would place the burden of public benefit (i.e. roads, street lights, public safety) on a single taxpayer instead of everyone that enjoys those benefits. • There isn't a need for this proposed ordinance based upon the recent history or anticipated future events. This is a solution in search of a problem. • Realtors® want to preserve the history of their communities because these properties are valuable. When you place unnecessary restrictions on structures you make them less valuable. No government edict can escape fundamental economic principles • I believe it is confusing to have two ordinances, one for the normal demolition and one for the historic district. I believe it should be one process, in one place in the City Ordinances. If Special Districts have differing requirements based upon age (or other conditions) it can be plainly stated and in the one ordinance and become less confusing for the general public. • Timeline is too long. The area is a very expended area. A 50 year old house covers 1960 ranch houses. B. Supporting Comments Thirty-five (35) comments were received supporting the proposed demolition ordinance. Below is a summary of responses. • To be a Certified Local Government, JC was required to establish a Historic Preservation Commission. Part of their duties are to review demolition applications of buildings over 50 years old and "recommend" approval or "not". This is non-binding and does not prevent a developer from demolishing a building in 60 days after review regardless or recommendation. Really! What a waste of everyone's time. The HPC is asked for their opinion but it has no teeth whatsoever. The HPC rarely denies recommendation of a permit and when they do, you can be pretty sure it is warranted and the buildings were historic. The realtors argue that "historic" is a subjective term but the definitions used by the HPC follows that of the NPS for the National Register of Historic Places. Five things: PWPC Memo Page 12 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 1. Really old places, like the Parsons house (1830s) and Lohman's landing is automatically historic, 2. places that represent an architectural style that is largely lost, like Ivy Terrace, or a lost era like Viets wayside Inn torn down in 2005 at the corner of Mo Blvd and Dix (and still vacant!) 3. a place where a famous person lived, like the Lohman House (on Broadway, now demolished) 4. A house that is part of a historic neighborhood and whose loss would diminish the historic context of that neighborhood (like Dr. Sanders concrete/steel house on Hayselton). 5. A house that is a contributing member of a district on the NRHP, like the Bassman house in the 200 block of W. McCarty now gone. It is not a subjective determination! The HPC should be able to make a binding determination. It seems like a waste of many people's time and talent to make these meaningless reviews. In the proposed ordinance there is a recourse for a developer! It is not final. The city council could reverse any decision, as could the court. Realtors argue this could mean costly delays. I argue this would be in the public interest for the city to be good stewards of our historic past. A balance needs to struck. Currently there is no balance because developers can do anything they want. • From October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2016, Historic Preservation Commission reviewed 111 cases, 101 cases were recommended for approval, 4 cases were recommended for denial, and 6 cases had 60 day holds put in place. All10 of the cases in which the HPC did not recommend approval were demolished. It is apparent that the current ordinance does not result in avoiding the demolition of buildings, even in the very rare cases where the HPC did not recommend approval. The data also shows that over 7 years, with many different people on the HPC, in 101 out of 111 the HPC recommended approval of the applications. So there is little chance that a "rogue" HPC would start blocking demolitions. With the Capitol Ave. Urban Renewal Plan moving forward, it is incredibly important that we have in place tools to increase the likelihood that the beautiful architecture and buildings in that area are rehabbed and re-used, and not demolished so that a developer can build an apartment building for lobbyists close to the Capitol. Another real threat is that the County Commission will acquire multiple parcels to clear the lots and build a new courthouse. This was actually discussed during a county commission meeting about a year and a half ago. Although many in Jefferson City would say projects like those would be great, the city council, as well as the Housing Authority Board, have assured our community that the goal in the Capitol Ave blighted area is to preserve the historic buildings. In order to do that, to follow through on that promise, we must have a more effective demolition ordinance. I believe that the ordinance proposed by the HPC will do that. By providing more effective notice to the public members of the community will have the opportunity to comment. By forwarding applications that the HPC PWPC Memo Page 13 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 recommends for denial to City Council for the final decision, that body will have the opportunity to make the final determination as to whether to approve or deny an application. This revised ordinance was drafted by the HPC over many months, and reviewed by city staff, and people in the community that have been involved in preservation. A lot of input from people who have rehabbed and reused historic properties was provided. A staff member from the SHPO provided guidance. The HPC reviewed ordinances from other communities to find best practices to use here in Jefferson City. This ordinance should be viewed as a tool to improve historic preservation in our city. It should not be viewed as a tool for realtors to sell properties or for large developers to do what they want to in the historic neighborhoods of Jefferson City. There are many economic development tools available to encourage investment in Jefferson City. This ordinance should be passed to provide a tool to encourage historic preservation in the older neighborhoods of our city. • You have the opportunity to provide the City with a new tool to help protect the historic buildings in most of Old Town Jefferson City. The new powers it provides are limited, but certainly appropriate. The bill is respectful of private property rights, but also allows the City to look at the bigger picture in certain and very specific cases. • Historic buildings and neighborhoods cannot be rebuilt. More effort is required to preserve a community's history. It's the one thing that makes a city a unique place. No other place has our history. Much of that history is reflected in our buildings. Great caution should be exercised when changing your history. The demolition ordinance makes it harder to erase the past. I favor that. C. Comments providing suggestions 1. It would be helpful to add language to the proposed Demolition Ordinance to address partial demolitions, as related to rehabilitation efforts. For example, in case of a fire or other act of God, a property owner desiring to rehabilitate a building that has over 50% of its roof or any wall damaged would likely have to remove all the damaged portion (perhaps even more) before repairs can begin. If a building permit has been approved by city staff, the property should be exempt from the demolition review process, even though over 50% of a roof or wall would be removed during rehab. Or, if a roof or wall is so deteriorated that partial (or total) removal of that portion of the building is necessary during rehab, issuance of a building permit should negate the requirement for a demolition review. (This situation may arise during rehab of some of the Capitol Avenue properties.) There is a concern that a property owner might apply for a building permit to avoid the demolition review process, then stall on the rehabilitation effort until further damage makes rehab financially infeasible (a form of demolition by neglect). So there should be a time limit on replacement of the portion of the building damaged over 50% before the demolition review process would be initiated, preferably 30 days, to allow city staff to quickly confirm the property owners' rehabilitation plans are sincere. The proposed Demolition Ordinance should also address the process for review of buildings deemed as a threat to public safety by city staff, whether due to fire or other act of God or PWPC Memo Page 14 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 deterioration over time. In years past, there was no demolition review of such buildings by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Instead, city staff informed the HPC that a property was going to be demolished, so that pursuit of other options was not possible. The proposed ordinance should also clarify that the proposed demolition review process applies to all owners, including the City of Jefferson and other government entities such as Cole County. (Typically the State of Missouri has been exempt from city regulation, but if this is no longer the case, then the ordinance should clarify this issue.) 2. Section 8-32 ES requires "a statement from the owner addressing why the property cannot be rehabilitated or sold at a reasonable price to private or public bodies interested in restoring the site and/or accessory building(s)." The process appears to me to be entirely subjective and beneficial to the property owner. Should not there be some external entity either offering a supporting our a counter-assessment? As it is written now, the weight is given to the owner who might have allowed the property to run down without penalty to determine what is a "reasonable price" or to the city that has taken over the property through court proceeding. I would think the historical preservation interests should be protected by an outside assessment of value and/or costs and suggest wording be added to protect that interest. F2c. Written notice does not include written notice to Historic City of Jefferson, Cole County Historical Society, or other kindred groups. I see no reason to exclude those organizations from the ordinance that otherwise is inclusive of specific requirements. I see nothing in this proposed ordinance that addresses what happens to this property after demolition, other than the requirements for grading and maintenance. Perhaps the issue is covered in another ordinance but if not, it seems to me a logical extension of this proposal would include limits on the design of any structure that replaces a structure demolished in the historic district. A case might be made for exceptions, particularly in the outer limits of the district that have not developed with the continuity we see on Capitol Avenue. But a historic district cannot be preserved or maintained if new structures are built that do not retain the character of the district. One Chamber of Commerce building is more than enough if we are serious about retaining and developing the historic character of that particular area. I would be comforted by extension of this proposal or enactment of a separate ordinance requiring any new structures to reflect the historical context of an area. The new structure might replace two older demolished buildings---a necessity, perhaps, to attract business and development to the area. But Wymore Place or the Tergin Apartments wouldn't retain the historic nature of East Capitol Avenue (and I like both Wymore Place and the Tergin Apartments---where they are.). Any new structure should look like it belongs there. 3. Suggest removal of requirement on the owner providing digital files of all interior rooms and stairwells. This appears to be government intrusion. Unnecessary for a private property owner to be required to provide statement on how or what they choose to do with their personal property. Suggest to strike this requirement or amend to suggest owner provide a statement on costs or future plans for site. Suggest the removal of 8-32.F.2.c. Unnecessary to go through time and costs of mailing notice to all "affected" property owners as the ordinance already requires the posting at the physical location and at city hall. PWPC Memo Page 15 Historic Preservation Commission Proposed Demolition Ordinance Planning & Protective Services Staff analysis of comments received through April 12, 2017 8-32.F.6 suggest clarification on language "CJHPC may take any action that it deems necessary" as we would not want to provide too much authority to an unelected board on how they may potential take property from a private property owner. The CJHPC should only provide recommendations to the City Council and it should be the job of city staff to ensure compliance only upon direction from the City Manager with the blessing of City Council. 8-33.A Remove the penalty of "imprisonment not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days" as this seems excessive. Remove the penalty against the construction contractor and only place the one year ban on issuance of the permit on the permit applicant or property owner. The City should not penalize a local or out-of-area contractor for any violation as they may be unaware of this ordinance or have not been provided accurate information by the property owner. Specifically, remove "as well as to individual(s) who demolish a principal and/or accessory building(s) that fall under 8-32 Part A without first obtaining and fully complying with the provisions of a demolition permit. We appreciate the newly created boundary establishment, however the area seems pretty large and staff may want to consider reducing the size even more so the ordinance truly applies to historically significant areas, and not just areas where the majority of the homes are simply older. Staff Time & Cost Analysis: The current cost for a demolition application is $53.00. The demolition application is reviewed by multiple staff persons from Department of Planning and Protective Services and Department of Public Works. Historic preservation one of nine areas reviewed prior to issuing a permit for demolition. The proposed demolition ordinance would add additional steps in preparing the demolition application for review by the Historic Preservation Commission. The following are staff time and cost estimates: Staff Time Estimate Per Demolition Application 30 minutes Consultation with applicant and acceptance of application 30 minutes Preparation of "185' buffer" and mailing list. 30 minutes Copy, envelope preparation, and mailing. 30 minutes Preparation of sign. 30 minutes Placement of sign on property. 150 minutes Review of application, research Landmark Listing, National Register Listing, Surveys, preparation of staff report/analysis. 30 minutes Staff time at meeting. 30 minutes Preparation and mailing of notice of decision. Total: 6 hours of staff time. Cost Estimate Per Demolition Application $240.00 6 hours of staff time at $40 per hour. $20.00 postage $20.00 supplies (especially laminator for the sign) Total: $280.00 PWPC Memo Page 16 NAMES SUPPORT OPPOSE Blake Werner, Action Realty of JC ABR, e-Pro, RSPS, SRS ./ Carlene Bax, Member of JCABOR ./ Chris Wood, Senior Vice President, Jefferson Bank of Missouri ./ Chris Yarnell ./ Darrel Gordon, Gordon Builders ./ Donna Porter, Associated Real Estate Group ./ Donna Stone, RCE, ePRO, Jefferson City Board of Realtors ./ Hank Vogt, Licensed Missouri Realtor, GRI, MGRI, e-PRO ./ Jerry Knollmeyer ./ Kathy Cremer, ePRO, GRI, RELO, Broker-Owner, Key Choice Realty LLC ./ Larry Kolb, Kolb Properties ./ Margaret Rehma ./ Anonynmous ./ Cliff Keeler, Keeler Photography ./ Dana Miller, Asst.

I think the proposed ordinance gives the Historic Preservation Commission, which is an unelected commission, too much authority over the private property rights of individual owners. The determination of "historical value" is subjective in many cases. While I believe in historical preservation, I do believe if too many properties are deemed "historical" without real historical significance, then it waters down the meaning of "historical" for those properties that truly do have historical value. I think "age" does not necessarily mean "historical". There is a cycle of life for buildings just as there is for human life. I think if you place too heavy a burden on property owners of all "old" buildings then you will find they will diminish in value and cause more and more of them to become cost prohibitive to renovate and/or convert to other uses. Thank you for this opportunity to express my opinion.

At this time, the City is soliciting comments from public regarding the proposal. This memo will briefly detail the situation, provide insight as to why this is an important issue for Realtors® to engage on, and include some ideas for your own comments to submit to the city. We are encouraging everyone (even those outside the city limits) to comment because this effect everyone that conducts real estate business in our City. Currently in Jefferson City if you are seeking to demolish a structure 50 years or older you must submit an application to Planning and Protective Services which is then reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). HPC will then make a non-binding recommendation with regard to the permit. After 60 days, you can do what you wish with regard to demolishing a building regardless of HPCs recommendation. This process allows Jefferson City to meet certain requirements to be a Certified Local Government. Proponents of historic preservation are pushing to put binding recommendations to this committee's decisions, new requirements for submission of the application, longer timelines for review and consideration, and stiff penalties for non- compliance. The following points are items for you to consider including in comments you submit to the City per their request: • This proposal will add time, cost, and uncertainty to developing older structures in the city limits making them less attractive to developers and causing these structures the are in need of rehab from being done because of the risks associated. • A developer could be caught in a government created Catch 22 with a structure that unbeknownst to them has "historic value" according to HPC but because of state of the property isn't redeemable. • Determining "historic value" is a completely subjective exercise which means that the enforcement of the proposed law will be arbitrary and arbitrary laws can be enforced effectively. • The supporters of this proposal argue that it's in the public's benefit to keep these structures but enforcement of this ordinance would place the burden of public benefit (ie roads, street lights, public safety) on a single taxpayer instead of everyone that enjoys those benefits. • There isn't a need for this proposed ordinance based upon the recent history or anticipated future events.

As you know, I am not a resident of Jefferson City, but I have, for decades, been actively involved in the revitalization of the Old Munichburg district, including preservation of its landscape of historic buildings. I support this proposed ordinance. I am fearful of the fate of some specific buildings. First is the log cabin residence at 310 West Elm, built in the 1860s as the parsonage of the German Methodist Church. It may be beyond saving, but it is a poster child of what happens to neglected historic buildings. Adjacent to it on the west side, is the perfectly good, brick Ernst Schmidt residence, ca. 1900, which I understand the owner wants to demolish when the log cabin is demolished. I am also concerned about the fate of two buildings I am very familiar with personally. One is stonemason Geisler's residence, atop the rock-wall terrace at 511 Broadway. Geisler built many rock walls, including the wall of the City/Woodland Cemeteries along McCarty Street. He was also involved in building the rock walls accompanying the construction ofthe new Capitol. The second building is the historic Renner residence, 218 West Elm, rapidly deteriorating and in line to be demolished when the nearby Groner properties are disposed of. The Renner residence , typical of Munichburg residences, was built in 1891 and shows up prominently in Carl Deeg's panoramic 1892 photograph from the old state Capitol. Of course, there are many other properties in the Munichburg district that would benefit from the protection of the proposed ordinance. A success to show what can be done instead of demolition: The historic (1890s) 3-story Nieghorn House/Southside Hotel/Southside Apartments , 110-112 East Dunklin, was being considered for demolition until 1 PWPC Memo Page 33 Larry Kolb and Steve Rollins stepped in, bought the building and adjacent properties, restored them, and created a vibrant commercial block, which has been put on the National Register of Historic Places.

Far too many properties have been destroyed with far too little insight. There is no doubt that commercial interests very much prefer little hindrance to their plans. Historic buildings and neighborhoods cannot be rebuilt. More effort is required to preserve a communities history. It's the one thing that makes a city a unique place. No other place has our history. Much of that history is reflected in our buildings. Great caution should be exercised when changing your history. The demolition ordinance makes it harder to erase the past. I favor that.

To help preserve and protect the charisma and charm of Jefferson City we need an ordinance "with some teeth." I believe the proposed changes will yield a fair and effective ordinance without trampling the rights of property owners. I feel we have often been short-sighted when it comes to making Jefferson City an attractive place to live and do business. As the capital city of this great state we should be leading by example; not playing catch up with other cities. The ordinance changes will help us keep Jefferson City beautiful. Thank you, Tim Morrow 190 5 Brookgreen Jefferson City, MO 65101 1 PWPC Memo Page 36 Abbott, Jayme From: HCJ President <hcjprez@gmail.com> Wednesday, April 12, 2017 12:12 PM Sent: To: Stratman, Anne Subject: Proposed Demolition Ordinance Comments Regarding the Proposed Demolition Ordinance: The Historic City of Jefferson started drafting a Historic Preservation Ordinance (also called the Demolition Ordinance) two years ago, with the serious threat of demolition of the old County Jail and Sheriffs Residence. The scope of the final Historic Preservation (Demolition) Ordinance being brought to you now is not as broad as HCJ originally proposed but it would at least give preservation a "foot in the door" in Jefferson City. Right now, there are no ordinances at all to protect our historic property treasures. Many other towns in Missouri and the nation have preservation ordinances, and their communities have benefited from that in many ways (think Hannibal in Missouri, Paducah in Kentucky, Savannah in Georgia)-Jefferson City needs to do the same. Within certain conditions, this ordinance would: 1. Give public notice of a demolition request similar to what is done now for zoning matters, which might produce a buyer for the property instead of demolition, or might help generate funds to save the property. If a property can be restored instead of destroyed, this may result in higher property values for the neighborhood, as well as the preservation of craftsmanship that is no longer available. It may also be a labor of love-of giving back to the community for others to enjoy. It has been proven that there is a major renewed interest-nationwide-in historic buildings and places. 2. Allow a request to be denied if the property meets certain historical criteria. Right now, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) reviews demolition requests but cannot deny so the building is demolished anyway. Over the past 7 years, of the 111 property demolition requests submitted, only 10 were recommended to be denied by the HPC. If this ordinance had been in place, those 10 truly historic structures might still be standing for us to enjoy. We are not talking about denial of a significant number of demolition applications. And if a request is denied, the City Council, who are elected officials-representatives of the people -would have the chance to study the demolition application and have the final say. 3. Provide greater penalties for those who demolish without going through the established procedure. The current fine of $500 is just a slap on the wrist-too easy for owners and 1 PWPC Memo Page 37 developers to absorb if they take down an older structure without following the current procedure. This ordinance would also raise the fee for demolition permits, to more closely align with the actual costs of processing such requests. 4. Provide stipulations to prevent ongoing "demolition by neglect." Comments are constantly being made about the travesty of the deterioration of the Buescher properties along Capitol Avenue. We need an ordinance with more "teeth" to prevent this from happening in the future. 5. Many subdivisions already have covenants in place that dictate what a property owner can do, even down to the type of post the mailbox must rest on! Don't our older properties and older neighborhoods deserve protections to their historical integrity? A review of structures 50 years and older is not a new concept-it is a procedure that has been followed here for many years, and is followed in many cities and towns in the country. A historical designation has no legal effect on a property's title-it is only an "honorary" designation. But if a property has received such a designation, the honor was given because the community felt that the property is truly historic and deserves to remain and be enjoyed by current and future generations. Don't these buildings deserve protection? A preservation ordinance can also increase property values, generating more money for city services and bringing back neighborhoods. This could also result in a boost for tourism in our city. Look at the Missouri State Penitentiary-there were calls to demolish the whole complex yet, fortunately, 3 buildings were saved and opened for tours-that "gamble" has grown from 3,000 visitors a year to 33,000 a year-what an increase in tourism dollars poured into our community-a boost for restaurants, gas stations, retail sales, hotels, and other related activities! Isn't it worth taking a little extra time to research a property to determine its historical value before destroying it? Once a building is destroyed, you cannot replace its architectural details and craftsmanship, nor its historical significance or meaning in the community (a plaque that says "here stood ... " just isn't the same!). It would be a terrible shame to lose such historical gems as Ivy Terrace, the Parson's House, the old County Jail/Sheriffs Residence, the Marmaduke House, and others because there are no laws to protect them. Let's not repeat the tragedy that befell the old City Jail in 1982-under the guise of darkness. We should embrace our historic places, and showcase them. Thank you.

As a member of the City Council representing the Third Ward in the late 1980s, I sponsored the bill that created the City's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). Later, after leaving the City Council, I served on that commission and chaired it for a couple of years. Creating the commission was a good thing for the City, but one thing I learned very quickly when I actually became a member of the commission was that the ordinance was woefully inadequate. Now, finally--nearly a quarter century after the commission was created--you have before you a proposed ordinance to fix this problem. In reading over the staff summary of the proposed ordinance, what is missing from that digest is an accounting of all the research, time and effort that was put forth to get this bill where it is today. I was president of the Historic City of Jefferson when our organization got the ball rolling in 2014. We hired legal counsel and spent many months researching the issue and drafting legislation that we thought would be effective. At the suggestion of members of the City Council, we then brought that draft ordinance to the City's Historic Preservation Commission for their review and comment. It was quite frustrating to us, but the HPC took our work and went through it line by line and seemingly word by word. Over a series of months they did their own research and completed a meticulous rewrite of the bill. They spent many, many hours and held many subcommittee meetings and full meetings of the commission working through every detail. What you have before you now is really the work of the HPC and these commission members deserve the community's thanks for taking this very seriously and crafting a new approach to this problem that does seem to provide the City with the tools it needs-tools that have been missing when it comes to the possible demolition of an historic building. Is this proposed demolition ordinance perfect? Far from it. I believe the 60-day application review period should be extended to 90 days. If a building has been part of our community for 50, 75 or 100 years, why can't we take an extra 30 days to make sure a huge mistake is not being made by allowing the building to be torn down? When the building is gone, it is gone forever. We have lost so many historic buildings over the years; it is our responsibility to keep the historic fabric of the City intact, at least what is left of it. But, at least the proposed ordinance does allow the HPC to recommend to the City Council that a demolition permit be denied, if the commission finds the application to be inappropriate, or that the loss of the building would be too great a loss for the community. At that point, then you-the elected representatives of the City-could review the application yourselves and either uphold the application denial, or override the recommendation of the HPC. That extra measure of review and protection is what has been missing since the ordinance was first passed 25 years ago. You have the opportunity to provide the City with a new tool to help protect the historic buildings in most of Old Town Jefferson City. The new powers it provides are limited, but certainly appropriate. The bill is respectful of private property rights, but also allows the City to look at the bigger picture in certain and very specific cases. After meticulous review, this bill has been approved by both the HPC and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Now it is your turn. I urge you to support it and to allow it to become law to help protect our historic City of Jefferson. 1 PWPC Memo Page 40 Sincerely, Steve Veile 1025 Adams Street Jefferson City, MO 65101 2 PWPC Memo Page 41 Abbott, Jayme From: Sent: To: Subject: pamtaylor2000@embarqmail.com Wednesday, April 12, 2017 11:30 AM Stratman, Anne HPC revised demolition ordnance I would encourage the City Council to pass the revised demolition ordnance forwarded by the city's HPC to the city Council.

We have so many historical residences and some buildings that present a glimpse into our past. Some of these structures have been well maintained while others have not. The Marmaduke House, as an example, received the restoration needed to preserve a structure that is part of the history of Jefferson City as well as the state government having housed the warden of the MO Penitentiary. Thank you to those who had appreciation for our past!! The old County Jail is a structure that, just by looking, can be seen to resemble the Cole County Court House so you can visibly see there must be a story from our past that can be told from within its walls. It is my understanding that this proposed ordinance would at least give possibility for interested groups to have time to do some research into the historical value of a property before the structure can be destroyed. The MO Penitentiary has turned out to be an economic opportunity for Jefferson City. Wouldn't it have been sad if the state would have just started attacking it with a wrecking ball?

I am very much in favor of the ordinance. I moved here from Petersburg, VA a couple years ago (you helped me get the prop tax rebate for turning a rental back into single occupancy, many thanks!) and saw how necessary it is to have such ordinances in order to preserve the historic character of an old city. In the places where old houses were demolished, before any regulations, the infilled dwellings really affected the current ambiance of the neighborhood. It is not only for now that we need to preserve the historic buildings, but it is also for the future. Our kids and grandkids will thank us for not demolishing our past and the neighborhoods in the future will not be a mishmash of conflicting designs. Briefly, I want the ordinance. Thanks! Kay Harden 106 Fulkerson St Jeff City Gmail address. 1 PWPC Memo Page 51 Abbott, Jayme From: Sent: To: Subject: Katie Owens <ktydid93@yahoo.com> Wednesday, April 12, 2017 3:59 PM Stratman, Anne Demolition Ordinance I am in support of the demolition ordinance as proposed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Jefferson City has lost to many historic structures to outright demolition, especially in the name of careless "progress", and from demolition by neglect. Currently it is to easy to demolish a structure in Jefferson City when doing so without a permit is punishable by a meager fine that is nothing in the eyes of a developer hell-bent on pushing their project forward. This ordinance will give the City Council the power to preserve the most compelling examples of Jefferson City history without infringing on the rights of the owners of the average property that happens to be 50 years or older and without negatively impacting future sales. I believe that HPC currently approves some 99% of demolition permits without question. That# is not going to decrease drastically with this ordinance. What it will do is give the city the tools it needs to save that 1% that is truly worth preserving. I know the Board of Realtors is against this ordinance because they feel it places an undue burden on them to ensure potential buyers are aware of the age of the property and thus potential demolition restrictions. This idea that competent realtors are unaware of the approximate age or that determining the age of a property is hard is nonsense. There are many publicly accessible resources available for determining an approximate age of a structure. When in doubt the realtor or potential buyer could also contact the Historic City of Jefferson and their members would be happy to help document the property's age. Besides the prominent historic districts within Jefferson City are fairly obvious and any realtor or buyer/developer looking in those areas will have a pretty good sense of the property's age and thus should have ample opportunity to be aware of this ordinance. The preservation of historic properties and particularly historic districts have proven to be an economic stimulus and marketing asset to cities and towns across the country. That is something Jefferson City can certainly benefit from. For the reasons stated I support passing this demolition ordinance as proposed on to the City Council for review and for a vote.

I ask for the passage of the new demolition ordinance. This is extremely important to the economic future of Jefferson City. Jefferson City is unique in the entire state of Missouri because of its extraordinary history and being the Capitol City. Now is the time to take advantage of this asset. Everyone will win. To do so we must preserve our historic buildings and homes. ATTACHMENT. With the Capitol Ave. Urban Renewal Plan moving forward, it is incredibly important that we have in place tools to increase the likelihood that the beautiful architecture and buildings in that area are rehabbed and re-used, and not demolished so that a developer can build an apartment building for lobbyists close to the Capitol. Another real threat is that the County Commission will acquire multiple parcels to clear the lots and build a new courthouse. This was actually discussed during a county commission meeting about a year and a half ago. Although many in Jefferson City would say projects like those would be great, the city council, as well as the Housing Authority Board, have assured our community that the goal in the Capitol Ave blighted area is to preserve the historic buildings. In order to do that, to follow through on that promise, we must have a more effective demolition ordinance. I believe that the ordinance proposed by the HPC will do that. By providing more effective notice to the public members of the community will have the opportunity to comment. By forwarding applications that the HPC recommends for denial to City Council for the final decision, that body will have the opportunity to make the final determination as to whether to approve or deny an application. This revised ordinance was drafted by the HPC over many months , and reviewed by city staff, and people in the community that have been involved in preservation. A lot of input from people who have rehabbed and reused historic properties was provided. A staff member from the SHPO provided guidance. The HPC reviewed ordinances from other communities to find best practices to use here in Jefferson City. This ordinance should be viewed as a tool to improve historic preservation in our city. It should not be viewed as a tool for realtors to sell properties or for large developers to 1 PWPC Memo Page 55 do what they want to in the historic neighborhoods of Jefferson City.

Part of their duties are to review demolition applications of buildings over 50 years old and "recommend" approval or "not". This is non-binding and does not prevent a developer from demolishing a building in 60 days after review regardless or recommendation. Really! What a waste of everyone's time. The HPC is asked for their opinion but it has no teeth whatsoever. The HPC rarely denies recommendation of a permit and when they do, you can be pretty sure it is warranted and the buildings were historic. The realtors argue that "historic" is a subjective term but the definitions used by the HPC follows that of the NPS for the National Register of Historic Places. Five things; 1) Really old places, like the Parsons house (1830s) and Lohman's landing is automatically historic, 2) places that represent an architectural style that is largely lost, like Ivy Terrace, or a lost era like Viets wayside Inn torn down in 2005 at the corner of Mo blvd and Dix (and still vacant!) 3) a place where a famous person lived, like the Lohman House (on Broadway, now demolished) 4) A house that is part of a historic neighborhood and whose loss would diminish the historic context of that neighborhood (like Dr. Sanders concrete/steel house on Hayselton). 5) A house that is a contributing member of a district on the NRHP, like the Bassman house in the 200 block of W. McCarty now gone. It is not a subjective determination! The HPC should be able to make a binding determination. It seems like a waste of many people's time and talent to make these meaningless reviews. In the proposed ordinance there is a recourse for a developer! It is not final. The city council could reverse any decision, as could the court. Realtors argue this could mean costly delays. I argue this would be in the public interest for the city to be good stewards of our historic past. A balance needs to struck. Currently there is no balance because developers can do anything they want. We should never lose sight of the economic impact of historic preservation. Just look at Boonville, Hermann and St. Charles!

I have just retired from the Historic City of Jefferson Board after 1 0 years of service. I have lived in Cole County all my life (65 yrs.) and in Jefferson City for the past 38 years. My residence was in my Grandparent's home which is now 1 01 years old. I had to sell the home this past year and move to my parents home place in Cole County. I tell you this to understand my heart and soul is for keeping Jefferson City a respectable town for appreciating and respecting the past, present and future. I am very proud that Steve Veile headed HCJ down this path to preserve the historic homes for our future economical growth and our children's legacy. I have attended many of the Historic Preservation Commission meetings over the last several years and recently many of the HPC subcommittee meetings dealing with the demolition ordinance. I have seen the committee and subcommittee put in countless hours of research getting advice from other towns and SHIPO and individuals who have expertise in these matters. No, this demolition ordinance is not what HCJ started with to get the ball rolling but it is a strong reasonable start to give the Commission more teeth to help them carry out their mission. I saw the subcommittee discuss and give & take when setting boundaries for a historic area rather than making the demolition ordinance be for the whole Jefferson City area. I heard them state that locations and events happen that change a town and they would be willing to go back and re-evaluate the boundaries as need be. That is being pro-active. I saw the subcommittee after having the three versions of the ordinances (the original, City's version and HCJ) go over them word by word and create what they have now. They discussed thoroughly various guidelines and how they relate to our town and state guidelines. I am happy to see this ordinance will give HPC the authority to deny a request for demolition based on their historic criteria list which they are not able to do at this time. With this ordinance they sat boundaries instead of making the whole city a part of the demolition ordinance. I am very glad to see the penalty fee for unlawful demolition is stronger than in the past. I am also glad to see this ordinance gives the public notice of a building being consider for demolition so neighbors or previous owners can express their thoughts as to the historical significance of the building and to the neighborhood to the HPC. I am glad to see the Housing Authority, & Planning and Zoning working together in each of their areas to help in protecting the historic properties of Jefferson City. Jefferson City has a strong history all around the town that is in need of being saved. I am hoping this is just the start to keep the history preserved. 1 PWPC Memo Page 61 There is a quote by Emerson :Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. I would very much like to see Jefferson City take the path to be a leader in this area and show other communities that the Capital City of Missouri believes in its historical character and economic development for the present and future for its citizens and children.

This ordinance has been drafted to provide certainty for property owners, as only buildings meeting certain requirements will be covered by this ordinance and reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). I would like to point out that these comments are for the proposed revised Demolition Ordinance which has been in development for the last two years, not the Capitol Avenue Overlay District. Similar terminology and subject matter in these two proposals, both being discussed in nearly the same timeframe, may be confusing. Need for Revised Ordinance The current ordinance provides an inconvenience for those wishing to demolish a historic building, but does not consider the wishes of the community at large in those rare instances when the community desires to maintain a historic resource. Looking to the future, there is currently no mechanism in city ordinance to prevent demolition of Ivy Terrace (500 Capitol Ave.), the Marmaduke House (700 Capitol Ave.), the Parsons House (105 Jackson St.), the former Cole County Jail or any other building on High Street or elsewhere in the city. Passage of the revised ordinance does not mean that no older buildings may be demolished in the future. Instead, it provides an opportunity for the community to express their wishes to the HPC and the City Council before a demolition permit is issued, particularly for those few historic resources that the community believes are significant to the history of Jefferson City. For property owners, the review allows them to hear community comments on their proposal, and perhaps find another way to profit on the project without demolition. To put this in perspective, in the last seven years, under the existing ordinance, 111 demolition applications were submitted and in 101 of those cases demolition was allowed to proceed immediately. Applicability This proposed ordinance only applies to those buildings that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, designated as city landmarks or historic districts or those determined as historic that are located within the boundary established in the proposed ordinance. All existing National Register listings for Cole County are published on the web at http://dnr.mo.gov/shpo/co le.htm City designated landmarks and districts are listed on the city website, so identification of existing historic resources is not difficult. In addition, the proposed ordinance describes an area designated by the HPC (HPC Boundary), so that any building not already designated as historic, no matter what age, outside that area would not be covered by the revised ordinance. This language provides predictability for owners as to what properties the revised ordinance may (or may not) regulate. For properties not already designated as historic but within the HPC Boundary, the revised ordinance outlines 4 criteria for HPC to use in determining whether a building is historic in our community. These follow the 4 criteria established by the National Park Services for listing of a property on the National Register of Historic Places. These criteria have been used since 1966 nationwide to evaluate whether historic resources are worthy of preservation. PWPC Memo Page 64 So the number of buildings that the proposed ordinance would apply to is a fairly small number. Historically, the HPC has released almost all buildings proposed for demolition. In the last 7 years, there have been 111 demolition applications reviewed by the HPC. Of those, 101 were released immediately for demolition, 6 were held for 60 days before demolition could proceed, and 4 were recommended for denial of the demolition permit. The demolition ordinance only applies once a property owner submits a demolition application to the city. Any property owner, including individual or corporate developers, may rehabilitate a structure under existing city regulations and building codes without applying for a demolition permit. Benefit of Revised Ordinance The existence of the demolition ordinance will provide assurance to potential rehabbers of historic buildings that their investment will not be diminished by demolition of a neighboring property without thorough review by the HPC and the City Council. Those wishing to invest in historic neighborhoods understand that the presence of other rehabilitated historic houses nearby increases the desirability of their rehabilitated property. Who would want to invest thousands, possibly millions of dollars in rehabilitating a house, only to have a nearby historic property demolished and replaced by a building that starkly contrasts with the historic character of the surrounding neighborhood? This is why newer subdivisions have regulations on what can be constructed in their area-to avoid such contrasts. Older neighborhoods do not have such protections in place, so the revised ordinance is needed to protect property owners from demolition and construction of inappropriate infill. Studies have been conducted on the impact of historic districts on property values. In most cases, property values have increased in neighborhoods after a historic district has been listed on the National Register. This has not been the case in Jefferson City in the Capitol Avenue area and in Munichberg due to deterioration of historic properties. Investors have been hesitant, or in a number of cases, unable to invest in rehabilitation efforts in these areas due to sellers who refuse to sell, and the impact the resulting deterioration has had on the surrounding properties. The Marmaduke House, which was appraised at around $600,000 after rehabilitation in the 1990s, sold at auction a couple of years ago for nearly half that amount. Providing more certainty about the demolition review process will encourage more investment in rehabilitation by individuals and by developers, as will the city and the housing authority's efforts to enforce existing building codes. Concerns re: Loss of Structural Integrity A concern has been expressed that developers may find themselves owning a historic house that is "not redeemable." Anyone investing in an older home should hire a home inspector, or have the home evaluated by their contractor, something which professional realtors should recommend. Especially in neighborhoods where levels of deterioration are high. Of course, an owner always has the right to sell the property should they decide against pursuing rehabilitation. In the event of an "act of God," such as fire, flood, earthquake, etc. city staff may consider a building as dangerous and demolition will result to protect public safety. The proposed ordinance has provisions regarding "demolition by neglect," a problem the city has been wrestling with for years. This includes demolishing a portion of a building in order to claim it cannot be rehabilitated. By including demolition by neglect, the city will have another tool to encourage property PWPC Memo Page 65 owners to maintain their properties according to standards established in the building codes. The penalties for allowing a building to remain with a wall or roof partially demolished, whether by intent or by a tree falling on the house, give the city a means to enforce code compliance when houses are allowed to deteriorate to the point that structural instability may be a concern. Designation as Historic There are four criteria described in the proposed ordinance to be used by the HPC in considering whether a property is to be considered as historic. By establishing these criteria in an ordinance, the HPC will have specific guidance to use in determining which buildings are historic, something the present ordinance lacks. These four criteria are: 1) This historic value of the principal and/or associated building(s) by reason of age or association with important figures or events; or as evidence of aspects of the history of Jefferson City, the State of Missouri or the United States; or as an embodiment of the distinctive characteristics of a type, period or method of construction or as a representation of the work of an historically notable architect, designer or draftsperson. Normally only buildings 50 years old or older may be considered as historic (there are rare exceptions-the Arch in St. Louis was one). 2) The visual and spatial relationship of the building(s) to designated or potential historic landmarks or historic districts. 3) The state of deterioration or disrepair as it relates to the historic integrity of the building(s). 4) The HPC may also consider the number of similar building(s) that still exist within the City of Jefferson. Costs of Maintaining City Services in Older Neighborhoods The City of Jefferson must maintain fire, police, streets, sewer, code enforcement and other services in all areas within the city limits, whether these neighborhoods are fully populated and contributing to the community's tax base or not. By maintaining the historic character of our older neighborhoods, making them more attractive to residents and investors, the cost of supporting services in these areas will be covered by adequate tax revenue. If widespread demolitions and construction of buildings that conflict with the historic character of the neighborhoods becomes common, taxes contributed by these neighborhoods may not cover the cost of city services. (Think of areas in St. Louis and Kansas City, where the number of vacant lots and abandoned houses are greater than the number of occupied buildings.) Should this happen, taxpayers in other areas of the city will have to contribute more to cover the costs attributed to older neighborhoods. Demolition Review Process to be Made More Transparent and Similar to Other Review Processes Under the proposed revised ordinance, demolition review will be made more transparent, as the ordinance: 1) requires posting of a sign by the city at the subject property and notice to property owners within 185' of a proposed demolition (similar to proposed zoning changes); 2) requires all decisions by the HPC to be confirmed or denied by the city council (just like decisions by Planning & Zoning, etc.); 3) provides a 30-day stay if the council overturns HPC's denial of a demolition permit; 4) points out a property owner's right to appeal a city council decision to circuit court; PWPC Memo Page 66 5) states that demolition permits are valid for 30 days; 6) provides penalties for unlawful demolitions, including a ban by city council on new construction at the location for 1 year. Our community had to show state government that MSP was a valuable historic resource by conducting tours there, and we've seen the tours grow from 3,000 visitors in 2009 to 33,000 in 2016, with visitors contributing $3.065 million to our local economy. Just think how much more monies could be generated by revitalizing our historic neighborhoods. This issue impacts owners of historic property directly, but is an opportunity for our entire community to benefit from increasing expenditures by visitors related to heritage tourism. More historic places for these visitors to spend the night, to eat in quaint restaurants and shop in beautiful older buildings will result in them spending more money in our community, generating more taxes to support our city. Before they leave town, they may buy gas and shop in other areas of the city, generating even more economic benefit-a benefit that owners of non-historic properties will also receive. And we all benefit when the taxes these visitors pay support our community's ability to continue to improve our streets, address storm water issues, and support our fire, police and parks departments. But this won't happen if we end up with historic neighborhoods decimated by demolitions and inappropriate infill-these visitors have been to other historic communities, and desire an experience greater than just a visit to a single historic building. They want to be immersed in history-to see it all around them, and that's why our historic neighborhoods need protection. Now, everyone recognizes Capitol Avenue as a historic neighborhood (the Capitol Avenue Historic District was established in 2005). In 15 -20 years, what neighborhood will we wish had been recognized?

As someone who has put a great deal of money into one of our historic areas, as well as someone who has a vested interest in preserving the integrity of our historic past of this community, I feel we would not be doing our city any justice by allowing the demolition policy that is currently in place to continue. There is no due diligence to granting a demolition permit on historic properties, and although I understand that some properties may be beyond repair, I do believe that many can and will be saved. I also feel it is our duty to preserve the past history for our future generations and we would not be doing that by allowing some of these buildings to be destroyed. I have shown that buildings can be repurposed to current facilities as have several others on this block of Capitol Avenue. I am asking you to please give the rest of these historic buildings in our community, wether on Capitol Ave or any other street in Jefferson City, a chance at a new life.

So much of the historic aspects of JC have already been lost and we must do what we can to preserve what we have left. It is important that any home or property should NOT be allowed to be demolished without due diligence first. We must stop needless demolitions and preserve the history of our home town.

A lot of good work and input went into the proposed ordinance. I believe it is a balanced approach for the City in determining how to consider the historic aspects of the community and gives the City tools to protect its historic assets. Please approve the ordinance. Thank you. 1 PWPC Memo Page 72 Abbott .Jayme From: Sent: To: Subject: Good afternoon, Griffith, David <David.Griffith@ redcross.org > Wednesday, April 12 2017 12:48 PM Stratman, Anne "Proposed Demolition Ordinance Comments" I am writing in support of the ordinance. While the scope of this final proposal is not as broad as I would like, it would at least give preservation of these historic sites an opportunity to protect this treasures. After traveling to Germany a little over a year ago I gained a new appreciation of preserving our history with the buildings in our midst. While there we visited many buildings built in the 1200's and they are still functional and STILL used. They survived World War II and those that were bombed and many I eft in rubble, they rebuiltthem using many of the stones that made up the building in its original state. It would have been easier to simply to I eave them but that was not their choice. I heard a story not I o ng ago about a foreign exchange who was visiting our fair city and noticed a building being raised. She asked her sponsor family why we would be doing this instead of repairing the building. For that her sponsor did not have a relevant answer. Once we have demolished a building the history is lost along with the stories that go along with it. Preserving our heritage and history in this beautiful hi sto ric city is vital to the generations that will fo II ow us. If we have visitors we are showing our city to and we go by an empty lot and say that'swhere .... used to be and you should have seen it, they can only imagine what it must have looked I ike. Very sad!! Lastly, after this ordinance was proposed the News Tribune ran an article along with pictures of some of the historic houses along Capito I and Jackson streets and I was am a zed at the history of those houses and stories I had NEVER heard of until the article was published. When looking at economic development and attracting new folks to our city, these types of stories help in the growth of our city and more importantly perhaps retain the history of Jefferson City. Once they are gone, they are GONE!! David Griffith Executive Director American Red Cross of Central & Northern Missouri 431 E.

I PV\IPC Memo Page 73 Abbott, Jayme From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Dave & Cathy Bordner <davecath2@embarqmail.com> Monday, AprillO, 2017 9:49 PM Stratman, Anne Proposed Demolition Ordinance Comments chart of demo apps 3-29-17.docx I encourage the city council to pass the revised Demolition Ordinance forwarded by the city's Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to the city council. Attached is a chart on the last 7 years of applications for demolition permits reviewed by the HPC. This data is taken from the annual reports submitted by the HPC to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and covers October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2016. As you can see from the information, 111 cases were reviewed, 101 cases were recommended for approval, 4 cases were recommended for denial, and 6 cases had 60 day holds put in place. All10 of the cases in which the HPC did not recommend approval were demolished. It is apparent that the current ordinance does not result in avoiding the demolition of buildings, even in the very rare cases where the HPC did not recommend approval. The data also shows that over 7 years, with many different people on the HPC, in 101 out of 111 the HPC recommended approval of the applications. So there is little chance that a "rogue" HPC would start blocking demolitions. With the Capitol Ave. Urban Renewal Plan moving forward, it is incredibly important that we have in place tools to increase the likelihood that the beautiful architecture and buildings in that area are rehabbed and re-used, and not demolished so that a developer can build an apartment building for lobbyists close to the Capitol. Another real threat is that the County Commission will acquire multiple parcels to clear the lots and build a new courthouse. This was actually discussed during a county commission meeting about a year and a half ago. Although many in Jefferson City would say projects like those would be great, the city council, as well as the Housing Authority Board, have assured our community that the goal in the Capitol Ave blighted area is to preserve the historic buildings. In order to do that, to follow through on that promise, we must have a more effective demolition ordinance. I believe that the ordinance proposed by the HPC will do that. By providing more effective notice to the public members of the community will have the opportunity to comment. By forwarding applications that the HPC recommends for denial to City Council for the final decision, that body will have the opportunity to make the final determination as to whether to approve or deny an application. This revised ordinance was drafted by the HPC over many months, and reviewed by city staff, and people in the community that have been involved in preservation. A lot of input from people who have rehabbed and reused historic properties was provided. A staff member from the SHPO provided guidance. The HPC reviewed ordinances from other communities to find best practices to use here in Jefferson City. This ordinance should be viewed as a tool to improve historic preservation in our city. It should not be viewed as a tool for realtors to sell properties or for large developers to do what they want to in the historic neighborhoods of Jefferson City. There are many economic development tools available to encourage investment in Jefferson City. This ordinance should be passed to provide a tool to encourage historic preservation in the older neighborhoods of our city. 1 PWPC Memo Page 74 3/29/17 Cathy Bordner The following data is taken from the HPC's annual reports, which are submitted to the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The reports run from 10/1 through 9/30. The period covered by the 2009-2010 report was 10/1/2009 -9/30/2010.As you will see from this information, the HPC very rarely recommends denial of an application or puts a 60 day hold on an application.

However, risking losing those historical roots representing the foundation of our local culture's existence as we know it today, is ultimately a form of total bankruptcy-not just a financial"bump-in-the-road." The latter, if allowed to happen, can never be recovered. Such abandoned history that our ancestors spawned, and often died for, is lost forever whether the roots involved are in a building representing significant people that used them in significant ways to make Jeff City a productive community and nation builder-or their final resting places -like the desecrated cemetery in the Apache Flats area holding the remains of significant ancestors that helped build the community and were responsible, among many other historical acts, for major decisions from nation building to sorting out the city's presence during the Civil War. The latter graves have been carelessly abandoned in the name of "progress" and an upscale housing addition built over the top of their relics. If we don't protect our community's roots (including its ancestral relics laid to rest in the community they served) for generations yet to come, why should those future generations continue to respect roots that in effect should establish pride in who they are, where they came from -and, who they can strive to be?
