council. Jane Moore seconded the amendment to the amendment to the original motion.

Demolition clearance for 1732 Vieth Dr.
Jayme Abbott began the staff report by clarifying that 1732 Vieth Dr. is an application clearance
and 1736 is a demolition review application since it is under 100 years. They are separate
applications yet part of the same project. A sign was place on the property announcing the
public hearing on May 30, 2018. She went on to state that 1732 Vieth Dr. was constructed in
approximately 1900, is not individually listed on the National Historic Register, part of a Local
Historic District, or designated as a local landmark. The area to her knowledge has not been
surveyed and is surrounded by newer development. It is part of a Planned Unit Development
approved by the city for expansion of the nursing home and construction of a daycare.
Paul Samson with Central Missouri Professional Services presented on behalf of Jefferson City
Manor stating that demolition is the first phase of the construction project. In the same
presentation he addressed 1736 Vieth Dr describing it as a sixties remodel. He stated that the
contractor on the project has experience in historic renovations and has identified nothing of
significance historically in either property.
Nathan Percy moved that the demolition application for 1732 Vieth Dr. be approved. Bill Case
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Demolition Review for 1736 Vieth Dr.
Jayme Abbott began the staff report by stating that the purpose of this request is to demolish
1736 Vieth Dr. It was constructed in 1939 therefore making it less than 100 years old. It is not
individually listed on the National Historic Register, part of a Local Historic District, or
designated as a local landmark. The staff recommended form of motion is that there will be no

Other Business
a. Façade Improvement Committee Appointment
With the departure of Art Hernandez, a new HPC member needs to be appointed to the
façade committee. Jayme Abbott explained that the city has several programs such as
the Commercial Façade Program, Rental Façade Program, and Adaptive Reuse
program. As part of these programs the Façade Committee approves the applications.
Two members from the Historic Preservation Commission are to serve on this
commission. It was decided that those interested would inform city staff and the new
appointment would be voted on during the next commission meeting.
b. Staff Updates on Prior Actions
Jayme Abbott reminded the commission that the School Street Local Historic District
application is being heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission June 14, 2018 at
5:00 PM. As a second update, Jayme Abbott referenced the email contained in the
meeting packet. This email pertains to the School Street Local Historic District and
requested clarification as to whether this designation will protect the properties from the
substantial improvement rule. The commission was informed that the city was still
seeking answers from various government entities including the SHPO.
Mary Schantz went on to ask what was being approved by the Planning and Zoning
committee on Thursday. Jayme Abbott explained that the implementation of the Local
Historic District would put in place design guidelines and in turn land use restrictions so
the oversight of P & Z is essential to make sure the process is done correctly.
Mary Schantz requested further clarification as to what the path of the Local Historic
District Application was. Jayme Abbott and Bryan Wolford verified that the application
would go before City Council as the final decision making body taking into account the
recommendations of the HPC and P & Z.
c. Discussion regarding new processes and authorities.
Mary Schantz proposed that it would be helpful to have a separate meeting prior to the
6:00 pm Commission meeting to review processes and answer questions. Discussion
continued regarding proper practices and the Missouri Sunshine Law. Jayme invited
commission members to direct any questions her way and also mentioned that formal
commission training would be helpful.
