Mr. Zollinger explained that on January 2, 2018 the City Council amended Chapter 35, Zoning
establishing short term rentals of a residence or lodging as a permitted use in the commercial and
mixed use districts and as a special exception use in the residential and industrial districts. Mr.
Zollinger explained some of the requirements that short term rental uses would be subject to.
Case No. P18008 - 1001 West High Street, Special Exception Permit. Request filed by Mike
and Lisa Yungbluth, owners, for a Special Exception Permit to operate a Short Term Rental. The
property is located on the southwest corner of the intersection of Brooks Street and West High
Street. The property is described as the Northeasterly part of Lot No. 1, in Block No. 8, of
Crandall's Addition (also known as Lower Jefferson Addition), City of Jefferson, Missouri.
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property is zoned RA -2 High Density
Residential and the current use is a triplex apartment building. He stated that applicants are
requesting to use two units of the existing three unit building as Short Term Rental units with the
possibility of utilizing the third unit in the future. Mr. Zollinger explained that the third unit is currently
occupied by a tenant. He stated that the applicant would like the option to have all three units
available for short term rentals.
Mr. George arrived at 5:40 p.m. Mr. Jordan announced that Mr. George is not eligible to vote on
this case. He is eligible to vote on the remaining cases.
Mr. Mike Yungbluth, 2107 Scenic Drive, spoke regarding this request and explained that he would
like to have all three units available for Short Term Rental. He stated that he would like the flexibility
of long and short term rental as market conditions dictate. Mr. Yungbluth explained that the top unit
is currently occupied by a long term tenant.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report.
Mr. Nunn moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the request for a Special
Exception Permit for a Short Term Rental to the City Council. The motion passed 7-0 with the
following votes:
Aye: Cotten, Deeken, Lester, Mahoney, Nunn, Vaughan, Yarnell

Mary Creed and Joseph McFerron, owners, for a Special Exception Permit to operate a Short
Term Rental. The property is located on the northwest corner of the intersection of Tanner Bridge
Road and Flora Drive. The property is described as Lot.56, Southwood Hills Addition, City of
Jefferson, Cole County, Missouri.
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the property is zoned RS -2 Single Family
Residential and is currently used as a single family residence. He stated that the applicants are
requesting a special exception permit for the Short Term rental of a Lodging Room. Mr. Zollinger
Minutes/Jefferson City Planning & Zoning Commission
May 10, 2018
Page 3
explained that the City Code states that a maximum of one rental space may be rented to guests.
He stated that the applicants have a living room area and one bedroom set aside as the rental
space that is offered to guests. Mr. Zollinger explained that the applicants have stated in their
narrative that because of the layout of the rental space, only three guests would be allowed at one
time which is allowed in the City Code. He stated that the applicants have considered purchasing a
"Guest Parking" sign that would be attached to a wooden wall near the garage and would not
exceed the 1 sf allowance for Short Term Rentals and would not be lighted.
Ms. Missy Creed, 1632 Tanner Bridge Road, spoke regarding this request and explained that
they are applying for a Special Exception permit to continue hosting guests. She stated that they
stay at Air BnB's when they travel. Ms. Creed explained that Air BnB's are review based and that
before anyone stays in their home she checks reviews from previous hosts. She stated that since
Air BnB's are heavily review based guests do not want bad reviews and are generally on their best
behavior.
Dr. Linda Landon, 1811 Forest Park Court, spoke in favor of this request and explained that Ms.
Creed sought advice from experienced Air BnB renters before she started her own Air Bnb. She
stated that Ms. Creed recently started JeffCityBlog.com to attract tourists to Jefferson City.

month. He explained that they offer two bedrooms and a pullout couch in a newly renovated house.
Mr. Cornejo stated that they had one bad experience where a new member joined Air Bnb in
February 2018, had no reviews and had not stayed at an Air Bnb before. He explained that the
rules they had posted were ignored and the renter caused a huge disruption. He explained that
because of that experience they only accept members listed on Air Bnb. Mr. Cornejo stated that he
concurs with the City Code maximum of five unrelated guests.

7. Other New Business
Case No. P18013 — 2303 West Main Street, Appeal of Sidewalk Deferral Decision. Request
filed by St. Joseph Cathedral School for an appeal of denial of sidewalk deferral. Sidewalk
construction requirements amount to approximately 1050 feet of sidewalk along West Main
Street, triggered by a planned expansion of the school building. The property is located on the
south side of West Main Street at the intersection of Binder Drive.
Mr. Barron explained that appeals are usually directed to the Board of Adjustment. He stated that
in this case appeals for sidewalk deferral variances are heard by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Mr. Baron explained that all people giving testimony or comments shall be sworn in.
The reason for this is that this case is an appeal, and appeals are handled differently than normal
cases. If an applicant or other interested party disagrees with the decision, the only route they can
pursue is through Circuit Court therefore testimony needs to be admissible in court.
At this time, Chairman Jordan asked those wishing to speak on this case to please stand and be
sworn in.
Mr. Barron gave an overview of sidewalk construction requirements and options to request a
deferral. He stated that the current ordinance dealing with the sidewalk construction requirement
was established in 2008 and a Sidewalk Plan was adopted the following year. Mr. Barron explained
that sidewalk construction is triggered by building additions, parking lot additions and new
subdivision plats and requirements are limited to 5% of the construction costs of the project. He
stated that a process was established, where deferrals could be granted for specific situations,
which is not a variance for sidewalk construction but a delay in construction, where sidewalks would
be constructed by the property owner at a future date. Mr. Barron explained that a 4,000 square
foot addition to the school's gymnasium triggered the requirement for sidewalk construction. He
stated that the project cost is approximately $1.75 million. He stated that the property frontage
including the school and the Cathedral is 1,035 square feet. Mr. Barron explained that the property
owner filed a request for sidewalk deferral based on four criteria. He stated that the Director
reviewed the request and determined that the situation did not meet the criteria, and denied the
deferral with responses to each of the criteria citied in the application. Mr. Barron explained that the
appeal request is based on one of the criteria, that the sidewalk construction would create an
unusual hardship. He stated that Staffs position is that the deferral request was properly denied
and that the situation is not unique among similarly situated properties and in fact ranks high in
terms of need for sidewalks, being located in front of a church and school, in a residential area,
near a park, and with another school located a short distance away. Mr. Barron explained that
sidewalks exist on the south side of West Main Street from West Elementary to Forrest Hill Avenue.
He stated that the issue before the Commission is an appeal as to whether the decision or
interpretation by the Director was in accordance with the intent and requirements of the Ordinance.
Mr. Barron explained that the three actions available to the Commission are to Affirm, Reverse, or
Remand the decision. He stated that an action to Reverse or Remand must state the rationale .for
the decision.
Ms. Cotten left the room at 7:08 p.m. Chairman Jordan called for a recess. The meeting
reconvened at 7:18 p.m.
Mr. Spencer Allen, 912 Martin Way, Principal of St. Joseph Cathedral School, spoke regarding
this request and distributed a handout regarding the sidewalk deferral appeal. He explained that St.
Joseph Cathedral School is currently constructing a gymnasium expansion to provide additional
practice space to keep students from having late night practices as well as to increase access to
fine arts offerings. He stated that the primary concern is safety for the students. Mr. Allen agrees
that this is the type of street that needs a sidewalk. He stated that there is a fully complete sidewalk
and crosswalk across the street. He stated that their argument is not sidewalks to nowhere, or cost,
Minutes/Jefferson City Planning & Zoning Commission
May 10, 2018
Page 6
consistently our main argument has been safety, the same argument the City has. Mr. Allen
explained that this is one of the most dangerous places for students to cross as there are no
connecting sidewalks on the south side of the street in the area of St. Joseph Cathedral. He stated
that the nearest sidewalk ends just east of Forest Hill Avenue. Mr. Allen explained that from the end
of this sidewalk to the St. Joseph Cathedral property, the area where a sidewalk would be
constructed, is currently a steep hill from the back of the curb to existing yards which sit up higher
than the street. He stated that during arrival 230 cars crossed our main entrance and during the
same time period, only 30 turned onto Binder Drive. Mr. Allen explained that if sidewalks are
constructed along the south side of West Main Street this would make it inviting for students to hop
on the sidewalk without messing with the crosswalk and then end up in an area where there is no
safe and controlled crossing point. He stated that the property owner would not be opposed to
sidewalks on the south side of West Main Street if they connected with other sidewalks and feel
that a public project could be needed in the future to make this happen.
Mr. Jeff Wilson, 2020 Saddlebrooke Lake Road, spoke regarding this request. Mr. Wilson is with
Sircal Contracting, the general contractor for the addition to St. Joseph Cathedral School. Mr.
Wilson explained that constructing a sidewalk on the south side of West Main Street would require
extensive redesign and regrading of all drive entrances on West Main Street. He stated that the
estimated project cost is $125,000 to $175,000 which includes engineering costs. Mr. Wilson
explained that the construction of this sidewalk would be a completely separate project from the
school addition as it is on the other side of the building. He stated that there are no other
construction activities in conjunction with this addition. Mr. Wilson explained that he is a parishioner
of St. Joseph Cathedral and we need to be concerned with the safety of our kids and not construct
a sidewalk that does not connect with any other sidewalks.
Mr. Brian McMillian, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
regarding this request and explained that design of sidewalks would fall under this purview. He
stated that the design would involve extensive survey work along the front of the property that is not
included as part of the current school addition and would be an added cost for extra design work.
Mr. McMillian explained that West Main Street was not built and designed to accommodate
sidewalks. He stated that this project would require extensive redesign of driveways. Mr. McMillian
explained that during the Mid -1980's it was decided not to build sidewalks along the south side of
West Main Street.
Mr. Andrew Lenart, 114 Boonville Road, spoke in favor of this request.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Barron explained that staff has nothing else to add as part of their closing statement.
Mr. Spencer Allen, in his closing argument, stated that the City has not shown how this sidewalk
that won't be totally completed and is going to lead the kids to a not visible middle of the block
abrupt end forcing students to cross a section of roadway that in a period of 20 minutes 269 cars go
through at that time. He explained that it a hardship has been created when the City has not
addressed the safety issues.
Mr. Jeff Wilson, stated that as a citizen of Jefferson City there are loopholes in our sidewalk code
and this entire process. There are a lot of questions that cannot clearly be answered. As a citizen
this needs to be addressed in the future.
Mr. Deeken commented that we have dealt with sidewalk issues for years. This is going to truly
be a sidewalk to nowhere.
Mr. Nunn commented that based on the arguments made safety should be included as a general
item on the deferral application.
Mr. George commented that this is a sidewalk to nowhere.

PLANNING STAFF REPORT
JEFFERSON CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
June 14, 2418
Case No. P18014 —Creation of the School Street Local Historic District. Request filed by Jenny Smith,
lead applicant, and 21 other property owners within the proposed district for the following:
1. Creation and designation of the School Street Local Historic District for an area containing 28 property
parcels and consisting of approximately 4 acres.
2. Enactment of design guidelines for properties within the district, including regulations requiring
review and approval of new buildings and building modifications by the Historic Preservation
Commission.
The proposed historic district is generally located south of East McCarty Street, east of Wears Creek, North of
Highway 50163, and on Lafayette Street frontage. Maps of the proposed historic district area and proposed
design guidelines are available on the Planning and Zoning Commission website at: www.jeffersoncitymo.gov
and are on file at the Department of Planning and Protective Services and available for review during regular
business hours.
NATURE OF REQUEST
The purpose of the request is to form a local historic district in accordance with Section 8-44 of the City Code.
The application materials include responses to the criteria for formation of a local historic district as outlined in
City Code. Proposed design guidelines for future construction and renovations within the district were
submitted with the application. The application was signed by 22 of the 28 property owners within the
proposed district, which meets the 75% property owner signatory requirement for application for a local
historic district.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND INFORMATIONAL MEETING
Notice of public hearing has been mailed to all property owners of record within the proposed district and to
property owners located within 185 feet of the proposed district. Public notification signs were placed within
the proposed district.
A public informational meeting for property owners within the area was held on April 19. The information
meeting focused on the details of the proposal, application process, and resulting regulatory requirements.
REVIEW BY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
This proposal was presented to the Historic Preservation Commission on May 1. The Historic Preservation
Commission voted to approve the proposal, and their recommendation for approval will be forwarded to the
City Council.
PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT APPLICATION
The primary purpose for formation of Local Historic Districts (as outlined in the city code of the City of
Jefferson) is to serve as justification for enactment of building design regulations. The state statutory
allowances for such regulations are heavily rooted in zoning powers granted to cities by the State. After
review by the Historic Preservation Commission, the proposal is being forwarded to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for review and recommendation prior to being sent to the City Council for consideration.
PRIMARY ITEMS OF REVIEW BY P&Z COMMISSION
1. Formation of the District — Specifically use of the district as a land use planning tool and the
boundaries of the district. (ie, the "rezoning" of the area to Historic District).
2. Review of Design Guidelines — Review and recommendation regarding the specifics of the design
guidelines.
1
Case P 14008 — School Street Local Historic District Page 2
TYPES OF DISTRICTS PERMITTED BY CITY CODE
The primary purpose of local historic designation is to serve as justification for and establish design
requirements for the associated district. The process for establishment of local historic districts was put in
place in 1998 within Chapter 8 of the City Code (Building Regulations) as part of a tiered structure of tools
available for implementation of design requirements in historic areas. The three tiered system that was put in
place in 1998 was as follows:
1. Neighborhood Conservation Advisory District — Advisory requirements only.
2. Neighborhood Conservation Planned District — Objective process, with design requirements
established.
3. Historic District — Subjective process involving design review board (the Historic Preservation
Commission).
In 2006, the regulations for Neighborhood Conservation districts were rewritten and moved to the Zoning
Code, and the allowance for formation of an advisory district was removed altogether. Section 8-40 of the
City Code provides guidance for evaluating proposals for districts on a sliding scale, with most careful scrutiny
given to applications for historic districts in comparison to the conservation districts.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The primary purpose of formation of a local historic district is to regulate the building design in the interest of
preserving historical character, and formation of a local historic district necessities adoption of design criteria
regulating future construction and building modifications. The application includes proposed design
guidelines, which are a subjective set of criteria that would be used by the Historic Preservation Commission
when reviewing future building permit applications for the area. If approved, any future exterior building
proposals or modifications in the area would be subject to Historic Preservation Commission review and
approval. Please see the design guidelines document. Staff have attempted to summarize the design guidelines
as follows:
I . Building Modifications — encouragement of rehabilitation over replacement of exterior features, with
replacement features, materials, windows, roof forms, etc. needing to be compatible with existing
features in the area. Building additions to the side or rear.
2. New Buildings — Similar in scale and character to existing buildings. Setbacks along existing build
lines and no garage doors facing street
3. Site Features — Limited front yard paving. Landscaping features consistent with area.
CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES/RELATION TO FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS
Substantial improvement floodplain regulations prohibit improvements of greater than 50% of the value of a
structure that is located within a floodplain and below the regulated elevation for the community (which is 1'
above base flood elevation). Federal floodplain regulations provide for an exemption from the 50% substantial
improvement regulation for contributing historic structures within a certified district. It is not clear to city staff
whether the formation of a local historic district would result in relief from the substantial improvement
floodplain regulations for the structures within that district nor is it clear to city staff as to the mechanics of
how that determination would be made. Repeated attempts to obtain clarity on this topic from state and federal
regulators have not provided a clear understanding or definitive answer.
EXISTING CITY CODE
The existing city code language pertaining to formation of a local historic district is heavily tied to applications
for building permits, rather than a "Certificate of Appropriateness" process as is most common for historic
districts in other communities. Recent amendments associated with adoption of the 2015 Building Code have
resulted in removal of requirements for building permits for modifications on the exterior envelope of a
building, which is out of sync with the purpose of establishing design requirements for a local historic district.
City Staff believe that, if the district is approved, an amendment to the city code would be necessary to provide
clarity on how proposals for exterior modifications would be processed. Other areas of potential amendment
include formation of an appeal process and providing for representation of the district on the zoning map.

Case P 14008 — School Street Local Historic District Page 3
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff have broken the analysis of the application into a number of individual components as follows. The
analysis focuses on the primary items for review by the Planning and Zoning Commission. A separate analysis
was provided to the Historic Preservation, which focused on the findings of historic significance:
1. The purpose of the application is heavily rooted in an attempt to obtain relief from Federal floodplain
regulations, specifically the substantial improvement clause.
- Staff have no information that formation of the district would actually result in relief from those
Federal regulations.
- Staff would recommend a high level of scrutiny on proposals to receive relief from federal
regulations based on actions undertaken at the local level. In this case, the City is responsible for
administering floodplain regulations at the local level, and the City's floodplain management
program is regularity audited by federal and state regulators. Permits for development in the
floodplain that are issued improperly at the local level have the ability to affect access to the
National Floodplain Insurance Program for the community as a whole.
- There are other ways for the structures in the area to obtain more flexibility from floodplain
regulations, for example, by elevating the existing structures to a level above the base flood
elevation.
2. Designation of flood prone areas as open space within urban comprehensive planning documents is
common, and the bulk of the proposed School Street Historic District is recommended as open space
within the land use plan component of the adopted Central Eastside Neighborhood Plan. The area will
always be at an economic disadvantage because of its location within area designated as floodplain.
Even if floodplain regulations regarding substantial improvement are relaxed through historic
designation, floodplain insurance requirements are not likely to be affected by such designation.
While it is important to maintain properties within the floodplain, staff do not recommend actions that
would encourage investment in flood prone areas unless that investment is undertaken in a manner that
protects personal safety and protects financial investment.
3. If approved, the School Street area would have the highest historic designation available at the local
level, a designation that exists nowhere else within the City. Section 3-40 of the City Code requires
that most careful scrutiny be given to proposals for Local Historic Districts in comparison to the other
types of designation available (the conservation overlay district).
4. The administrative burden of future construction proposals within the area, both on the property
owners and on the City, would be high. Future building proposals would go before the Historic
Preservation Commission (acting as a design review board) for review of architectural details. The
existing building design and architectural character of the area is not of sufficient complexity to justify
such an intensive review process. If the desire were to provide for regulation of building design, to
ensure building modifications are in character with the area, designation of an overlay district would
be a more appropriate tool in this instance, where review of building proposals for conformance with
design requirements would be conducted at the city staff level.
5. The boundaries of the district are formed primarily around the portion of the neighborhood located
within the floodplain. If there is a desire to enact design regulations, a larger district may be more
appropriate.
6. The proposed design guidelines are fairly standard, and would be used as a guide by the Historic
Preservation Commission, acting as a design review board, in reviewing proposals for building
modifications or construction.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. Staff do not recommend approval of the formation of the proposed Historic District. Staff feel that the
intent of the application is misaligned with the purpose of the local historic district tool. Also, the
administrative burden created by formation of the district (both on property owners and on the City) is
higher than necessary and there are other tools available to provide for design requirements.
2. Staff have a neutral stance on the proposed design guidelines.
Form of Motion
1. Motion for approval of the creation of the School Street Local Historic District.
2. Motion for approval of the proposed design guidelines for the School Street Local Historic District.

STAFF REPORT
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION — CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI
May 1, 2018
CASE: School Street Local Historic District
Property Owner initiated application for formation of a local historic district.
NATURE OF REQUEST
The purpose of the request is to form a local historic district in accordance with Section 8-44 of the City Code. The
application materials include responses to the criteria for formation of a local historic district as outlined in City Code.
Proposed design guidelines for future construction and renovations within the district were submitted with the application.
The application was signed by 22 of the 28 property owners within the proposed district, which meets the 75% property
owner signatory requirement for application for a local historic district.
PUBLIC NOTICE AND INFORMATIONAL MEETING
Notice of public hearing has been mailed to all property owners of record within the proposed district and public
notification signs have been placed within the proposed district. A public informational meeting giving details of the
proposal, application process, and resulting regulatory requirements was held on April 19.
CRITERIA FOR NOMINATION OF LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT
The application includes a narrative describing how the area qualifies for designation based on the criteria for formation
of a local historic district outlined in Section 8-44 of the City Code. Please see the application narrative for applicant
responses as to how the district qualifies under each of the criteria. Staff have attempted to summarize the narrative as
follows:
The narrative states justification for formation of the historic district based on four general points.
1. The association of the neighborhood with the broader event of segregation.
2. The association of the neighborhood with "The Foot", an adjacent commercial center that once served the
area.
3. The residence within the area of past Lincoln University professors and other notable figures.
4. The historic architecture of the area.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
The Commission must make a determination as to whether the area qualifies for nomination pursuant to one or more of
the criteria for nomination. If the Commission finds that the area qualifies under the review criteria, the commission must
make a determination as to whether the area has sufficient integrity of Iocation, design, materials and workmanship to
make it worthy of preservation or restoration. Petition by property owners, with 75% of the owners having signed the
application forms, is not by itself sufficient justification for formation of a local historic district, the application must meet
the required findings as well.
PROCEDURE FOR PROCESSING LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT APPLICATION
The primary purpose for formation of Local Historic Districts (as outlined in the city code of the City of Jefferson) is to
serve as justification for enactment of building design regulations. The state statutory allowances for such regulations are
heavily rooted in zoning powers granted to cities by the State. If approved by the Historic Preservation Commission, the
application for Local Historic District and proposed Design Guidelines would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning
Commission (primarily for review and recommendations regarding the design guidelines) prior to being sent to the City
Council for consideration. Both meetings would be public hearing style meetings.
DESIGN GUIDELINES
The primary purpose of formation of a local historic district is to regulate the building design in the interest of preserving
historical character, and formation of a local historic district necessities adoption of design criteria regulating future
construction and building modifications. The application includes proposed design guidelines, which are a subjective set
of criteria that would be used by the Historic Preservation Commission when reviewing future building permit
applications for the area. If approved, any future exterior building proposals or modifications in the area would be subject
to Historic Preservation Commission review and approval. Please see the design guidelines document. Staff have
attempted to summarize the design guidelines as follows:
1. Building Modifications — encouragement of rehabilitation over replacement of exterior features, with replacement
features, materials, windows, roof forms, etc. needing to be compatible with existing features in the area.
Building additions to the side or rear.
2. New Buildings — Similar in scale and character to existing buildings. Setbacks along existing build lines and no
garage doors facing street
3. Site Features — Limited front yard paving. Landscaping features consistent with area. 7
School Street Local Historic District Application Page 2
Historic Preservation Commission
CONTRIBUTING STRUCTURES/RELATION TO FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS
Substantial improvement floodplain regulations prohibit improvements of greater than 50% of the value of a structure that
is located within a floodplain and below the regulated elevation for the community (which is 1' above base flood
elevation). Federal floodplain regulations provide for an exemption from the 50% substantial improvement regulation for
contributing historic structures within a certified district. It is not clear to city staff whether the formation of a local
historic district would result in relief from the substantial improvement floodplain regulations for the structures within that
district nor is it clear to city staff as to the mechanics of how that determination would be made. Repeated attempts to
obtain clarity on this topic from state and federal regulators have not provided a clear understanding or definitive answer.
It is city staffs understanding that any relief from substantial improvement regulations that may be available, would only
be available to structures that are "contributing" structures. The application proposes that all 27 of the structures located
within the district be designated as "contributing".
It is city staff's understanding that if the area were designated a National Register District, the contributing structures
within the district would qualify for relief from the substantial improvement floodplain regulations.
PRIOR HISTORIC STUDIES
Two studies, meeting qualifications outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, have been conducted in the area:
1. An Architectural/Historic Survey was prepared by the The Urbana Group for the Jefferson City Commission on
Historic Preservation and Jefferson City Department of Planning and Code Enforcement in September 1992. This
study found that of the 27 properties within the proposed School Street Historic District, only 12 were identified
as contributing to a potential historic district.
2. An Architectural Survey of the Proposed Improvements to the Rex Whitton Expressway was completed in July
2008. This study focused primarily on the Lafayette corridor, with 7 of the 27 properties within the proposed
School Street Historic District being included in the study. The seven properties were not identified as having
potential for the National Register or having district potential.
TYPES OF DISTRICTS PERMITTED BY CITY CODE
The primary purpose of local historic designation is to serve as justification for and establish design requirements for the
associated district. The process for establishment of local historic districts was put in place in 1998, as part of a tiered
structure of tools available for implementation of design requirements in historic areas. The three tiered system that was
put in place in 1998 was as follows:
1. Neighborhood Conservation Advisory District — Advisory requirements only.
2. Neighborhood Conservation Planned District — Objective process, with design requirements established.
3. Historic District — Subjective process involving design review board (the Historic Preservation Commission).
In 2006, the regulations for Neighborhood Conservation districts were rewritten and moved to the Zoning Code, and the
allowance for formation of an advisory district was removed altogether. Section 8-40 of the City Code provides guidance
for evaluating proposals for districts on a sliding scale, with most careful scrutiny given to applications for historic
districts in comparison to the conservation districts.
EXISTING CITY CODE
The existing city code language pertaining to formation of a local historic district is heavily tied to applications for
building permits, rather than a "Certificate of Appropriateness" process as is most common for historic districts in other
communities. Recent amendments associated with adoption of the 2015 Building Code have resulted in removal of
requirements for building permits for modifications on the exterior envelope of a building, which is out of sync with the
purpose of establishing design requirements for a local historic district. City Staff believe that, if the district is approved,
an amendment to the city code would be necessary to provide clarity on how proposals for exterior modifications would
be processed. Other areas of potential amendment include formation of an appeal process and providing for
representation of the district on the zoning map.
School Street Local Historic District Application Page 3
Historic Preservation Commission
STAFF ANALYSIS
Staff have broken the analysis of the application into a number of individual components as follows:
1. The application narrative goes into great detail on the history of the nation, Jefferson City, and the general
eastside area, and ties justification of the formation of the district to broader historical trends. However, the area
does not appear to be the location of a notable or defining element of that history. Staff are concerned that the
link to broader historical trends may not be a strong enough link to warrant historic designation.
2. The narrative identifies several Lincoln University professors and others that resided in the area, with specific
addresses of their residence and summary of notable events of their lives. Staff concern is that residence within
an area may not be a strong enough tie to warrant historical significance for the structure or justify historic
designation of the area as a whole, that the location of their achievements (primarily Lincoln University) is a more
relevant tie to their accomplishments.
3. The narrative describes the architectural details of the structures within the proposed district, with a large number
of the structures being four square style and other structures representing a number of architectural styles. Staff
are concerned that the structures within the area may not be of sufficient distinguishing architectural
characteristics to warrant historic designation.
4. The City Code indicates that most careful scrutiny and consideration shall be given to applications for historic
districts (as opposed to applications for lower levels of the tiered structure of districts put in place in 1996). Staff
are concerned that the level of historic designation proposed by the application may conflict with this guidance,
that the general public would be hard pressed to identify the proposed district as being a significant feature of
Jefferson City history, worthy of preservation and restoration under the most stringent regulations available, while
other areas of the City that are commonly cited as being historic do not benefit from an equal or greater
designation.
5. Staff are concerned that the number of structures that are represented as contributing structures conflicts with
analysis undertaken as part of the Lafayette interchange highway project and the 1992 Urbana Group
Architectural Survey study.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff do not feel that the required findings for approval of a local historic district are met, as outlined in the staff analysis.
Staff recommend that Commission members carefully consider the information put forward as justification for historic
district designation, as well as the level of historic designation that is sought.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
A. That the area qualifies for nomination pursuant to one or more of the criteria for nomination.
B. That the area has sufficient integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship to make it worthy of
preservation or restoration.
FORM OF MOTION (two separate motions)
1. Motion for approval of the application for formation of the School Street Local Historic District.

School Street Local Historic District Application and Proposed Design Guidelines
Mr. Barron presented the staff report on the School Street Local Historic District Application
and the Proposed Design Guidelines. He informed the Commission of the following staff
concerns regarding the application:
• Lack of strong connection between historic events and boundaries of district,
• Architecture, while being reminiscent of early century buildings, lacks notable or defining
elements,
• Lack of historic identity amongst the general public,
• Conflict with prior historic studies.
Mr. Barron stated that the Proposed Design Guidelines are fairly typical for a historic district,
and only apply to exterior changes to houses in the School Street Local Historic District. He
stated that the Design Guidelines would not be part of a subjective review process with the
commission acting as the review board for any proposal to modify buildings in the area.

Mr. Barron recommended that Commission Members carefully consider the information put
forward as justification for the historic district designation, as well as the level of historic
designation that is sought.
The following citizens were present to testify about the School Street Local Historic District:
• Jenny Smith is the applicant for the proposed historic district and spoke in favor of the
Local Historic District application. Jenny and Tony Smith live at 1211 Elmerine Ave.,
Jefferson City. They own 2 parcels within the proposed School Street Historic District;
612 and 614 E. McCarty St. Jenny said FEMA had informed several interested
individuals, via conference call and an email that the City was in charge of managing
local flood plains. She believes the local historic designation would lift restrictions
imposed by the FEMA flood plain regulations regarding the 50% substantial
improvement rule in the proposed district. Jenny said she thought it would allow
property owners in the area the ability to further improve their homes which would
revitalize the area. She said if the structures are demolished, FEMA prohibits new
construction on the area.
Art Hernandez asked Jenny Smith why was the application was filed now and not years
earlier. He stated that many of the structures need significant rehabilitation. Jenny
responded that it should have been done earlier. She said they are hoping with the
lifting of the 50% substantial improvement rule, it will allow more opportunities for
property owners to make necessary improvements to the properties in the proposed
district. Art said it appeared, by the viewing the signatures on the application, that about
80% of the homes are not owner -occupied.
Jane Beetem is a resident at 1612 Payne Dr., Jefferson City, and she spoke in favor of
the application. She explained the reasoning given to the boundaries of the proposed
Local Historic District application. She said about 25% of the properties are owner -
occupied. She said Quinn Chapel was not included in the proposed district due to it
being a newer building, less than 10 years old. She said many of the property owners
cannot obtain a building permit for the expensive repairs needed at this time, but hopes
that if the designation as a Local Historic District is in place, the 50% rule will be waived
so that the necessary repairs can be done. She said property owners want to fix up their
properties but just aren't allowed to right now.
• Patsy Johnson, of 908 Lafayette St., Jefferson City, spoke in favor of the Local Historic
District application as a life-long resident and as a member of the Jefferson City Cultural
Arts Foundation.
• Tony Smith, of 1211 Elmerine Ave., Jefferson City, owns 2 parcels within the proposed
School Street Historic District. He spoke in favor of the Local Historic District application.
Rev. Dr. Cassandra Gould, is Pastor of Quinn Chapel AME Church at 415 Lafayette St.,
and spoke neutrally about the Local Historic District application. She disagrees with the
current boundaries of the proposed district, and feels they were excluded from the
proposed historic district. She stated Quinn Chapel is very invested in the area that has
been historically African American. She feels the exclusion in the historic district is
reminiscent of segregation, and feels it is insulting. She would like the matter to be put
on hold so that more people could weigh in on the matter to see what is feasible for the
2

area. She would like to see an opportunity for commerce in the area, and if it becomes a
historic district that it may affect zoning for commercial use. The neighborhood is
declining because there is nothing there.
Glover Brown, Exec. Director of the Friends of Lafayette St. and the Historic Foot
District. He is a resident at 1700 Valley High Rd. He disagrees with the current
boundaries of the proposed district. He said in his opinion the applicants are planning to
use the proposed designation to get around FEMA's 50% rule to improve properties to
enhance their personal investments. Glover requested the Commission Members table
the motion to approve the Local Historic District application until the next meeting to
allow time to do research and put an economic development package prepared for 408
Lafayette, 624 E. McCarty and 410 Lafayette St.
• Matt Holland, and a partner are property owners of 624 E. McCarty St., Jefferson City.
Matt spoke neutrally regarding the Local Historic District application. His rental property
is not in the flood plain and he is 100% indifferent to what happens.
Art Hernandez asked Bryan Wolford for counsel regarding what effect tabling the
application would have on the application itself. Bryan Wolford stated if the Commission
does not act on the Local Historic District application at this meeting, or if they table the
agenda item, the applicants will have to reapply for the designation as School Street
Local Historic District and resubmit the application. Bryan said according to a provision
in City Code, in Section 847, a continuance must be requested by the applicant before
the hearing process has begun.
Tristan Hayes, of 412 Lafayette St. and life-long resident of the area, spoke in favor of
the Local Historic District application. He has watched the neighborhood decline and
would like it to be revitalized again.
Art Hernandez moved to approve the School Street Local Historic District Application.
Donna Deetz seconded the motion. Motion passed.
Donna Deetz moved to approve the School Street Local Historic District Proposed Design
Guidelines. Nathan Percy seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.

Excerpt of Sections 8-44, 8-46 and 8-47 of the City Code.
Sec. 844. Nomination of Historic Districts.
A. Application/Nomination. Applications for nomination of an historic district shall be made to the CJHPC by at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of all owners of record. Forms and criteria for nomination will be available at the office of the
Department of Planning and Protective Services. Applications must be submitted to the department; the department shall
forward applications to the CJHPC. Each historic district must be nominated by a separate application. Each historic
district must be designated by a separate ordinance. The designation of a historic district shall in no way alter the uses
permitted by the existing zoning district of the property so designated.
B. Notice. Upon receipt of an application for nomination of an historic district, the department shall notify the property
owners within the proposed district of the application, arrange for a time and place of a meeting, and invite all interested
persons to appear and be heard.
C. Criteria for Nomination. The criteria for nomination shall apply to applications for designation of historic districts and
landmarks. The CJHPC shall, after such investigation as it deems necessary, make a determination as to whether a site,
structure, object or area qualifies for nomination pursuant to one (1) or more of the following criteria:
1. Its character, interest, or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics of the community, county,
state or nation;
2. Its location as a site of significant local, county, state or national event;
3. Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development of the community, county,
state or nation;
4. Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the study of a period, type, method

location, design, materials and workmanship to make it worthy of preservation or restoration.
D. Anneals. A decision by CJHPC to deny an application for nomination may be appealed to the planning and zoning
commission in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 35 of the Code of Jefferson City.
Sec. 8 46. Procedure for review following designation of landmark or historic districts.
A. Building Permit Standards. After a landmark or historic district is designated by ordinance each, application for building
permit within the area so designated shall be referred to the CJHPC for review at a regularly scheduled CJHPC meeting.
Applications shall be submitted a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the meeting of the Commission. If the CJHPC makes
no report within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the application, it shall be considered to have made a report approving
the application.
B. Design Criteria. The CJHPC shall prepare and adopt specific design criteria as it deems necessary to supplement the
provisions of this ordinance. Within each of the designated categories, the design criteria will be applied more stringently
to properties of greater significance than those with lesser significance as determined by their respective designation. The
CJHPC may from time to time amend and supplement to the criteria used for review of historic districts and landmarks.
The CJHPC must first approve additional design criteria not listed in this chapter, and any changes thereto, before the
criteria or changes shall become effective. (Ord. No. 12794, § 1, 8-17-98).
Sec. 847. Definitions.
Design criteria. A standard of appropriate activity that will preserve the historic and architectural character of structure
or area.

Jefferson City Local Historic District Application
Criteria for Nomination of a Historic District:
Include a narrative with the application that provides responses to each of the following review
criteria:
How does the area qualify for designation as a Historic District with respect to:
1. Its character, interest, or value as part of the development, heritage or cultural characteristics
of the community, county, state or nation. (A more complete history is attached as an
addendum, for those who want more detail, including sources referenced. The Executive
Summary captures the main topics of historical interest.)
Executive Summary of Area History
The Jefferson City neighborhood that includes the 600 block of E. McCarty St., the 400 and the
west side of the 500 block of Lafayette St. and all of School St. is one that represents a part of
our community's history from the post -Civil War era through the 1960s. This small
neighborhood is located in the section of town where African-Americans were allowed to live
prior to passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, when segregated housing was the norm. 1 This
neighborhood retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and
association with this time period and meets Criteria A for listing on the National Register of
Historic Places (National Register): historic resources that are associated with events that have
made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history.
Most of the other dwellings that housed African-American families in that era have been
demolished, to clear the way for the Whitton Expressway (Highway 50), during Urban Renewal
efforts, for construction of city facilities, or with use of Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds to clear deteriorated structures prior to construction of housing by Habitat for
Humanity. Of the remaining structures from this era in our history, the School Street Historic
District (SSHD) is the most intact, showing how close these neighbors were to each other and
best representing the community's African-American history.
The School Street Historic District is eligible for listing as a Local Historic District or on the
National Register of Historic Places due to the following:
➢ Residents of this neighborhood depended on the commercial area known as the Foot,
which was located nearby, centered on the 600 block of Lafayette. African-American
owned businesses in the Foot served and depended on support from African-Americans
who resided nearby. As they were not welcomed in many of the downtown businesses,
African-Americans relied on services received from the Foot. During urban renewal in
it Throughout this document, the term "African-Americans" is often used to refer to people of color. In the
different time periods discussed in this application, that term would not have been used, as it is of more recent
vintage. The term "black" is also used, in this is a term found in much of the research for this report, and is not
meant as a negative term. The term "negro" appears in a graphic from a 1930s publication, but is not used
elsewhere.

the 1960s, the Foot was demolished, leaving the SSHD as the best preserved area
reflecting this period in Jefferson City's history.
➢ Dr. W.A. Ross, who lived at 500 Lafayette St., marched with Dr. Martin Luther King in
the historic march from Selma to Montgomery in 1962. Dr. Ross practiced medicine from
his office in this house for 53 years, and held hospital privileges at Charles E. Still
Osteopathic Hospital (now Capitol Region Hospital) 2 Dr. Ross also served as the
Director of Health Services at LU from 1960 to 1982 and served as President of the local
NAACP chapter for 35 years. Dr. Ross passed away in 2007.3
➢ During segregation, several professors from Lincoln University (LU) lived in this area,
with several of them being pioneers for African-Americans in their field. The stately
four-square houses on the east side of the 400 block of Lafayette were owned by Cecil
Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons, Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown,
A.T. Busby, Dr. A.S. Pride and others.4
➢ Dr. James Seeney was the first African-American to hold a Doctorate in Education from
the University of Missouri. Dr. Seeney was the long-time principal of the Lincoln
University Laboratory School, and head of the LU Department of Education.' The
Seeney family boasts a total of 20 teachers, including Dr. Seeney's daughter, who was
the first African-American teacher at St. Peter's School, and his daughter-in-law, who
established the first kindergarten in the St. Elizabeth Schools and was its first full-day
teacher.6
➢ The first African-American graduate of the Jefferson City Public School System lived at
411 Lafayette St., Cecil Blue's daughter Barbara (nickname: Bobsie). Barbara graduated
in 1955.'
➢ Leland G. Smith, who lived at 620 School St., is remembered for his
contributions to Jefferson City schools over his 25 year career, as the
top award in Jefferson City's Little Olympics competition was named in
his honor. Mr. Smith graduated from Lincoln University with a B.A.
and a Master of Arts from the University of Witchita, KS. Leland
served as principal of Washington School from 1945 to its closure in
1956, when the public schools were integrated. He then worked for the
Jefferson City Public Schools, serving as assistant to the Jefferson City
School Board until shortly before his death in 1971. Mr. Smith served tdand G. Smith
as the President of the Missouri State Teachers Association. [Carlos Graham's daughter
recently won the Leland Smith award in the Little Olympics.]
➢ Dr. A.S. Pride (Armistead Pride), dean of the Journalism Department at Lincoln
University, was nationally known in the field of journalism. Dr. Pride lived at 408
Lafayette St. In 1959, he shared his home with Eugene Harmes, an LU professor and

M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. He taught at the
University of Cairo' in Egypt and Italy under a Fulbright program in
1956, and sponsored ten students who traveled to Italy with him,
living with local families to learn about their culture. During the
1969-1970 school year, Dr. Pride served as visiting professor in
communications at Temple University. Dr. Pride held an A.B. degree
from Michigan, an A.M. from Chicago and an M.S.J. and PhD. from
Northwestern. Dr. Pride began teaching at LU in 1937. Previously, he
worked as city editor for the Lamar (CO) Daily News and as a
correspondent for the Denver, CO office of the Associated Press. He
wrote a weekly column for the St. Louis Argus and Louisville (KY) Defender. Dr. Pride
served as vice-president of the American Society of Journalism School Administrators,
editor of their yearbook and chairman of its International Relations Committee. Dr. Pride
was fluent in Italian, offering classes in the language at LU in the early 1960s.
➢ Dr. Cecil Blue, a professor of English at LU, is remembered today as one of the "Color
Boys" — Dr. Blue and Dr. Green — that Dr. Gary Kremer has written about. Their
Craftsman style bungalow was demolished to make way for the new Lafayette St.
interchange with Highway 50. But Dr. Blue's home was at 411 Lafayette St., where he
lived from 1946,9 presumably into the 1980s. 'I Dr. Blue was educated at Harvard, taught
English at LU from 1928 until his retirement in 1973, and served as President of the
Missouri conference of the American Association of University Professors in 1969-
197 1.
➢ Dr. Lorenzo Greene was a member of the LU faculty from 1933 to his—�
retirement in 1972. He was described as "one of Missouri's foremost
leaders in developing equal rights for blacks."12 Dr. Green served as
acting head of the History and Government Department for LU at the
end of his long career, and was selected as a representative of the
National Association of the Study of Negro Life and History on the
American Revolution Bicentennial Commission's Heritage 76 F:_
Committee. In 1971, Dr. Green received an honorary degree from the
University of Missouri. (Another recipient that same year was R.
Marlin Perkins, the well-known former director of the St. Louis Zoo.)
➢ Professors Arthur and Marcia Hammons lived at 409 Lafayette St.. Arthur Hammons was
a Professor of Agriculture and Marcia Canty Hammons was a Professor of Home
Economics.
➢ The architecture exhibited in this neighborhood, while not high -style dwellings like those
found on Capitol Avenue, represents housing typical of middle class families in this area

built from 1885 to 1920. A brief architectural description of each house is provided in
this document.
This summary, and the extended history in the addendum, are not intended to be the full and
complete history of the School Street Historic District. But the items included in the summary
give the reader a sense of the history represented by the people who lived here, and the houses
where they lived.
While LU represents an important part of our community's history, the stories of the African-
Americans who lived in this area and built or supported African -American -owned businesses in
the commercial area known as the Foot (demolished during Urban Renewal) also needs to be
preserved. The other areas that remain from the African-American community are located on
Lafayette St. and E. Dunklin St., Maple St., Jackson St. and Roland Street. The blocks adjacent
to LU are already being purchased and houses demolished by the university. A number of houses
on Maple and Jackson Streets were demolished and replaced during urban renewal by more
modem houses during the 1960s. Roland St. was developed by the Jefferson City Housing
Authority during and after urban renewal in the 1960s and 70s, as African-Americans could not
buy lots and build houses elsewhere in the city. This leaves the subject neighborhood as the
oldest and possibly the most likely to remain intact into the future.

Discussion under the Detailed History of SSHD (attached) explains why African-American
residents of Jefferson City came to be concentrated in the area where the proposed Historic
District is located. To fully understand why the proposed Historic District is significant to
Jefferson City's history, we must review what happened to the rest of the area where African-
American residents lived prior to the 1960s.
Urban Renewal — Nationally
With the increase in popularity of the automobile, people began to live farther from work,
resulting in ever-expanding growth of suburbs and semi -rural developments near urban areas. As
inner cities were drained of residents, particularly after World War II, cities faced an increase in
39
deteriorating rental and vacant properties. The federal government's attempts to address issues
related to poor quality housing and inner city deterioration have been controversial since they
began in the 1940s, with passage of the 1949 Housing Act. Title I of this Act focused on "slum
clearance." The 1954 Housing Act was supposed to shift the focus away from demolition and
towards rehabilitation and preservation of housing. Other legislation dealt with problems related
to relocation of those displaced by Title I programs. In the 1960s, less focus was given to quality
housing stock, and more to development of healthy communities. Reorganization of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency resulted in the Department of Housing and Urban Development,
known as HUD, in 1965. The Fair Housing Act passed in 1968, further directing funding
efforts."
Helping to change these programs were critics such as Jane Jacobs, who decried destruction of
historic neighborhoods and construction of modernist replacements. Her 1961 book The Death
and Life of Great American Cities contained her arguments that "cities embodied organized
complexity and that so-called `disorderly' slums were better than the rationally planned spaces
that displaced them, both economically and socially." Since then, concerns have been raised
regarding political, social and legal implications including the impact of eminent domain on
property rights, aesthetic concerns, incorporation of historic preservation in revitalization efforts,
justice and equity — particularly that the burden of displacement created by urban renewal landed
on poor and minority residents without consultation or compensation.
Urban Renewal — Jefferson Citv
Jefferson City has undergone a number of Urban Renewal initiatives. Quinn Chapel was
relocated from E. Miller Street to Lafayette in 1955 due to early urban renewal efforts, 14 and
relocated again recently for the Lafayette St. interchange. Another early project was a $13
million project in a 5 -block area near the Missouri State Capitol. This project removed the
buildings on the southeast corner of the Capitol block, including the Old Post Office and the
Central Hotel, made room for the Senate parking garage near Lohman's Landing and removed
buildings from three blocks north of First Baptist Church and opposite the Missouri Pacific train
depot on State Street.15 The next project involved a much larger area, including all of downtown
from Missouri Boulevard on the west, Highway 50 on the south, Lafayette on the east and the
Missouri River on the north. Numerous buildings were demolished for creation of parking lots or
to allow new construction. The roundhouse by the railroad was demolished in this urban renewal
project. The most recent urban renewal effort was located in the Millbottom area, west of the
Missouri State Capitol and north of the Whitton Expressway (Highway 50). This area was
cleared of numerous commercial businesses and a few houses from the early days of Jefferson
City's development to make way for state office buildings and associated parking lots.
The Jefferson City Housing Authority was created by the Missouri Legislature in the late
1950's. By 1960, Executive Director Ted J. Herron was building the first Public Housing Project

in Jefferson City. It was built on what had been locally called "goat hill" because of the livestock
that ran freely there. Tar paper shacks without indoor plumbing gave way to modern apartments.
The new units had up-to-date kitchens with stoves, refrigerators and running water. 16 The "goat
hill" project was located at what was the edge of town at that time. During and after the Great
Depression, displaced white families built whatever type of shelter they could on this hill. So the
houses that were replaced here were temporary in nature, not ones that families had lived in, paid
mortgages on and where they had raised their families for decades.17
The Housing Authority worked closely with Lincoln University in selecting the area to be
included in the next urban renewal project. Forty years after Lincoln started attracting top-notch
professors to teach in Jefferson City, the tensions within the African-American community had
begun to bubble to the surface. This was Lincoln University's opportunity to remove what they
viewed as blight, with the cafes, bars and pool hall, the barber shop where men could gather to
"chew the fat," and where drinking likely occurred adjacent to the entrance to their university.
These small, crowded businesses provided for the needs of the poor and working class members
of the African-American community. The academics, in their offices high on the hill above, may
have seen this as a chance to distance themselves from those on the other end of the economic
spectrum in the African-American community. The Housing Authority's report referred to the
Foot and the surrounding area as "a slum, blighted, deteriorated and deteriorating, an economic
and social liability and a menace to the public health, safety and welfare in its present condition
and use." 18
Whatever motivations were involved, the result was that a large number of African-American
families and rental property owners were encouraged to sell their homes to the Housing
Authority. A number of years ago, a former resident of the area remembered that time, saying his
parents were glad to sell their home. It was only later that they realized that their community had
been dismantled, its residents scattered as they searched for housing elsewhere. 19
The Housing Authority had not planned to construct publicly funded housing in the cleared area,
as federal regulations discouraged such repopulation in urban renewal projects. But, the people
displaced by demolition of housing could not buy or rent houses elsewhere in the community due
to the prevalence of race discrimination. Discrimination in housing may have been outlawed in
1968, but integration didn't become common in Jefferson City until the 1980s. So the Housing
Authority built 50 units of public housing on E. Elm St. and purchased and developed 27 lots on
Franklin and Roland Streets, near the southern end of the project, so that African-Americans
could purchase lots and build houses. Ultimately, only a handful of the 21 families displaced
from E. Elm St. built houses in the new development, as banks wouldn't lend them money for

new homes. The rest of the buyers were Lincoln University faculty and staff.20
In 1959, the majority of the Foot was demolished in preparation for construction of the Whitton
Expressway. The new highway was constructed over Lafayette Street between Elm and Miller
Streets, in the middle of the 500 block. The majority of Jefferson City's African-American
residents lived nearby in areas that were razed in 1962 as part of the Campus View Urban
Renewal Project, directed by the Jefferson City Housing Authority. This once vibrant
neighborhood included a densely developed area on E. Elm St., where public housing was later
constructed, Lafayette from Elm to E. Dunklin St., Dunklin between Jackson and Lafayette,

After removal of the Foot, the Housing
Authority became the Land Clearance
Authority for Jefferson City. In the
late 1960's and the 1970's the Land
Clearance Authority worked on projects
in neighborhoods all over town. One
example was the purchase and
demolition of the former M.M. Parsons
_ y l: .' Campus View Urban Renewal house, and construction of the Hamilton
Project Area, 1962 and Dulle Towers on State Street. The
Housing Authority also purchased the
Jefferson Female Seminary on the south side of State St., and after years of deterioration and
occupation by homeless individuals, sold the property to Dean Martin and Carol Blaney, who
rehabilitated the structure in the 1990s. Adjacent to the towers is 505 State, initially purchased
for use as a library for tower residents. When that plan was terminated, the house was vacant for
18 years before being sold and rehabilitated.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the big urban renewal project was in the Millbottom area,
where a number of commercial, industrial and residential structures were located and where
floodwaters from Wear's Creek and the Missouri River had been a problem. In the beginning of
this project there was a survey done of the project area, to identify historic and archaeological
resources during the planning phase. A number of historic buildings had their history and
architecture researched and documented, with Historic American Building Survey
documentation filed in the Library of Congress for cultural resources that were demolished. The
Byrd -Haar House, now a nail salon, was moved from W. Main to Bolivar Street so it could be
preserved. The Upschulte House was moved from W. Main to the rear of the Cole County
Historical Society property in the 100 block of Madison Street. The Joseph Porth House, now
home to Architects Alliance, was rented for a number of years to the Corps of Engineers before
being sold by the Housing Authority. This project provided space for construction of state offices
in the Truman Building and the Secretary of State's building, as well as numerous parking lots.

The former MoDOT garage has been renovated and additions constructed to provide state office
space for MoDOT employees with adjacent parking.
The Hagan -Brooks house at 501 Cherry had been continuously owned for over 110 years by two
African American families from 1872 until purchased by the City of Jefferson in January 1982 to
be torn down for a bus maintenance garage.
Much has been written about "The Monastery" and its identical neighbors. When consultants for
the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) wrote their report in July 2008, they stated
that these four houses, built in an identical Craftsman style, "possess both social, historical, and
architectural significance..." and were eligible for listing on the National Register. 22 Yet they
were demolished after documentation was completed to allow construction of new ramps for the
Lafayette / Highway 50 interchange circa 2015.
The term "urban renewal" has developed such a negative connotation since the 1960s and 1970s
that it is not often used any more. Instead, the city has turned to use of CDBG funds to remove
individual structures, then often gives the vacant lots to the local Habitat for Humanity chapter to
build new homes. Habitat has rehabilitated several older homes, but construction of new homes
remains the organization's preference. Several of the oldest houses remaining in the E. Miller —
Cherry area where African-Americans lived in the past were demolished for redevelopment of
the lots by Habitat. For the proposed Historic District area, the city plans to use federal funds to
demolish houses to implement a floodplain map that was revised in 2012.
A number of articles and reports in recent years have indicated that the only remnants of the Foot
were the Community Center on E. Dunklin (owned by the city and listed on the National
Register) and Dr. Ross' former house at 500 Lafayette. Perhaps that is because so much
emphasis has been placed on the commercial aspect of the Foot. But the Foot and its surrounding
residential areas were always linked, as the Foot couldn't survive without support from the
African-Americans who lived within walking distance, and the residents couldn't survive
without shops and other businesses where they could procure food and other services. As Faye
Carter told Nancy Vessell, "You really didn't miss anything. You were just kind of in your own
little world. ,23
Comparing this area to a current map shows the very few areas that remain at present where
African-American residents were allowed to live: School St., Lafayette St. south of E. Dunklin
St., Dunklin St. east of Lafayette St., Locust St., and some houses on Maple St..
3. Its identification with a person or persons who significantly contributed to the development
of the community, county, state or nation.
A number of LU professors bought houses in the 400 and 500 blocks of Lafayette. These stately
four-square houses were owned by Cecil Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons,

Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown, A.T. Busby and others. 24 In 1959, three LU employees shared
a house at 408 Lafayette: A.S. Pride, a department head at LU, Eugene Harmes, a professor and
M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. Dr. R.G. Richardson lived and had his doctor's
office at 421 Lafayette in 1959.25 All of the African-American residents of the proposed
Historic District supported and depended on the area known as "the Foot" for supplies and
services. In recent years, the Foot has been recognized as a non -extant historic area, and has been
designated as such with placement of a commemorative marker in the 600 block of Lafayette. It
is now time to recognize the surrounding area where those that were part of the Foot community
lived as also historic. The proposed Historic District is one of the few areas remaining that relate
to the community centered on the Foot. Houses located on E. Dunklin and Lafayette Streets
facing Lincoln University have begun to be purchased and demolished by the university. This is
in line with the university's master plan, currently being revised. Once these houses are removed,
the proposed Historic District may be all that remains representing this part of Jefferson City's
history.
4. Its embodiment of distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style valuable for the
study of a period, type, method of construction or use of indigenous materials.
The SSHD contains buildings that represent or were influenced by a number of architectural
styles and types. Within the district are two Craftsman style houses, one Queen Anne house, one
Classical Revival and one Colonial Revival influenced home. The most dominant architectural
influence in the district is the Four -Square type house, which was quite popular in the 1890s
through the early 1900s. There are twelve Four -Square houses in the district. Folk Victorian
vernacular type houses include four Open Gable houses, three Cross -Gabled homes, one Gable
Front, one L -Plan house and one Pyramidal Cottage. These styles and types were typical for
middle class housing when this neighborhood was built. Architectural descriptions of each house
are provided at the end of this document.
5. Its identification as a work of a master builder, designer, architect, or landscape architect
whose individual work has influenced the development of the community, county state or
nation.
As with many houses in our community, we do not know for certain who designed or built these
houses. Plan books were readily available at the time, so builders would not have needed an
architect to design modest homes. No records remain from this time period that would identify
builders of specific houses.
6. Its embodiment of elements of design, detailing, materials or craftsmanship that render it
architecturally significant.
The porches in this neighborhood are a significant feature. Almost all of the houses retain their
original porch elements, with variations as to style. The most distinctive porch is found at 612 E.

McCarty, with a nearly full -width Queen Anne style porch that curves out at the left side,
featuring a full wooden entablature, denticulated cornice, three Doric columns set on limestone
pedestals and a simple wood balustrade that follows the curved roof line on the left side of the
porch. Doric style columns are also found on the porches at 608 E. McCarty, 616 E.McCarty,
407 and 411 Lafayette St.. Pyramidal roofs are dominant in this district, not only on the main
structures, but on porch and dormer roofs as well. The majority of the houses are constructed of
red brick, with three white painted brick houses, one stucco and one stone house. The majority of
the houses facing the more visible E. McCarty. and Lafayette Streeets are two-story, while more
one to one and a half story houses are found on School St. Through the use of red brick and one-
story front porches, the design elements found in this district provide a sense of continuity from
one house to another. A significant number of original windows remain, in their original sized
openings, showing similar fenestration patterns on a number of the houses. Since there are quite
a few (12) Four -Square style houses, the pattern of two large windows of the same size on the
second floor is a dominant feature of the neighborhood.
7. Its embodiment of design elements that make it structurally or architecturally innovative.
The houses in this district are more similar in their architecture than they are individually
distinctive. They reflect architectural styles and types that were popular from the 1880s until
circa 1920. The Four Square house type was very popular from 1890 to 1930, and is common in
the Midwest. During this time there was a national trend toward simpler designs, in reaction to
the more elaborate Victorian era style houses. The availability and abundance of mass produced
stock materials facilitated construction of all the houses in the neighborhood. The Four Square
house was promoted in magazines, mail order companies and companies selling plans as
uniquely American and perfectly suited to the American family. The Colonial Revival style was
popular from 1870 to 1940, and the Classical Revival style began after the World's Columbian
Exposition was held in Chicago in 1893, as a classical theme dominated this exposition. This
style remained popular until 1950. The Bungalow style was a dominant subtype in smaller
houses from 1905 through the early 1920s. This style originated in California, which made this
style seem more "modern" as smaller families and fewer servants required less space than the
larger houses of previous years. A number of the houses in the district would be best described as
Folk Victorian, particularly those that are Gabled Front, Cross -Gabled, Pyramidal or L -Plan.
These house types were popular nationally from 1890 to 1910 (sometimes styles in Missouri
lagged behind national trends).
8. Its unique location or singular physical characteristics that make it an established or familiar
visual feature.
The importance of the location of these houses, in close proximity to the Foot, cannot be
overemphasized. The residents of this area were primarily African-American, as during
segregation realtors and banks would not sell or lend money to African-Americans to purchase
houses outside of this section of town. They depended on services and supplies found at the Foot,
as they were not welcomed in restaurants elsewhere in the community. Hotels in the Foot were
used by African-Americans traveling to Jefferson City, as they were not welcomed in hotels
45
elsewhere in the city. African-Americans elected to state-wide office stayed in the dorms at LU
while attending legislative sessions, as they could not rent apartments outside of the African-
American community. The African-American section of town operated as a town within a city.
People had jobs outside the area, but they lived, shopped, went to school and church in the same
part of town, making this a close knit community. The houses all retain integrity from this
segregation period, and are the best remaining group of buildings that represent this period in our
community's history.
9. Its character as a particularly fine or unique example of a utlilitarian structure, including, but
not limited to, farmhouses, gas stations or other commercial structures, with a high level of
integrity or architectural significance.
Some historic garages may remain in the district, but they are not particularly notable examples
of outbuildings in the community. The houses in the neighborhood are the primary structures of
interest.
10. Does the area have sufficient integrity of location, design, materials and workmanship to
make it worthy of preservation or restoration?
Yes, as this neighborhood retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship,
feeling, and association with this time period and meets Criteria A for listing on the National
Register: historic resources that are associated with events that have made a significant
contribution to the broad patterns of our history.
Detailed History of School Street Historic District
Before this area was developed, it was known as "Cottage Park," a recreational area with ball
fields in the open space near Wears Creek. The annual floral parade, where residents decorated
their cars and paraded them on High St. and Capitol Ave., terminated at Cottage Park.26 A
number of parades still terminate nearby in the 600 block of Lafayette Street. The lots in this
district were sold on August 11,1905 to A.J. Abbott from Douglas County, Missouri, for a
development of moderately priced homes. The area sold was 1,000' in length along E. McCarty,
School and E. Miller Streets.27
Architecture
The architecture exhibited in this neighborhood, while not high -style dwellings like those found
on Capitol Avenue, represents housing typical of middle class families in this area from 1870 to
1968. The importance of maintaining "normal" or "average" housing was described by Gary
Kremer:
The random destruction of buildings that serve as material links connecting
several generations contributes to a lack of understanding on the part of one
generation about how they are connecting links to those who preceded and those
who will follow them. This unfortunate circumstance tends to occur with greater

frequency in lower-class and ethnic neighborhoods. Residents of these often
blighted areas, first of all, are relatively powerless. They have no representatives
in the arenas of power where decisions are made. Moreover, their very poverty
and social marginality preclude their living, worshipping, and otherwise
interacting in elaborately built, architecturally sophisticated buildings. Ironically,
then, we often find ourselves in a position of preserving the material culture of an
unrepresentative body of people, while we destroy the houses, businesses, schools
and churches of the masses. When we do this, we not only frustrate and further
alienate the uprooted residents of such communities, we literally cut them and
ourselves off from the past. 28
Connection to LU
The houses in the subject neighborhood were spared from demolition in the 1960s because this
part of town had a significant number of both white residents and Lincoln University employees.
A number of the 2 -story four-square houses on Lafayette Street were owned by LU professors,
while LU employees occupied five houses on School Street in 1959.29 On the 400 block of
Lafayette lived five LU employees, professors and the head of a department at LU, as well as Dr.
R.G. Richardson, all but one living on the east side of the block. In the 500 block, which was
largely razed for highway construction, there were no LU employees and only one doctor, Dr.
W.A. Ross, whose house was retained.
To fully understand how this neighborhood contributes to our community's history, we must
briefly consider how it relates to historical trends that are part of our nation's history.
National African American History.
Our founding fathers put the issue of slavery aside, instead focusing on having all thirteen
original English colonies join forces during the Revolutionary War. The problem grew, as more
people were imported to be sold as slaves and as new generations were born into slavery.
Opposition to slavery also grew, and Congress attempted to balance new states entering the
union between "slave" and "free" states. Eventually legislators in southern states voted to secede
from the union, and the Civil War was begun. After President Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation, slaves in states that had seceded were freed (this did not include Missouri), and all
slaves were freed when the war ended.
Southern states soon passed laws known as "Jim Crow laws" that enforced segregation and
denied African-American people their rights, such as the right to vote. African-Americans moved
from southern states to urban areas further north to escape such discrimination and groups such
as the Ku Klux Klan that killed, terrorized and intimidated them. People in cities responded to
this movement by using restrictive covenants that governed the sale of real estate, prohibiting
owners from selling their property to anyone of the "Negro race." In a case involving Mr. and
Mrs. J.D. Shelley of St. Louis and Mr. and Mrs. Louis D. Kraemer, who had filed suit to have the

Crl
Shelleys removed from the neighborhood for violating such restrictive covenants, the U.S.
Supreme Court held in 1948 that these covenants were unconstitutional. This decision made
housing discrimination illegal, but did not end housing discrimination. 30
Starting in 1933, under federal New Deal programs, the federal government responded to a
housing shortage during the Depression. This program was explicitly designed to increase — and
segregate — America's housing stock. Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun
under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation." The
government's efforts were "primarily designed to provide housing to white, middle-class, lower -
middle -class families," he says. African-Americans and other people of color were left out of the
new suburban communities — and pushed instead into urban housing projects. Rothstein's new
book, The Color of Law, examines the local, state and federal housing policies that mandated
segregation. He notes that the Federal Housing Administration, which was established in 1934,
furthered the segregation efforts by refusing to insure mortgages in and near African-American
neighborhoods — a policy known as "redlining." At the same time, the FHA was subsidizing
builders who were mass-producing entire subdivisions for whites — with the requirement that
none of the homes be sold to African-Americans. 31
During the Civil Rights era in the 1950s and 1960s the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs.
Board of Education (1954) that segregated educational facilities deprived African-American
children of equal education opportunity. For years after the Brown decision, the struggle for
equality continued, with African-Americans organizing protest marches and sit-ins to influence
local practices. During this period Martin Luther King and John and Robert Kennedy were
assassinated.32 33 A number of federal laws were passed in the 1960s to combat discrimination,
including the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits employment discrimination; the Fair
Housing Act of 1968 that prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing
and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits the denial or restriction of the right to vote. 34
Jefferson City Follows National Trends
Jefferson City was not immune to these national trends. In the 1960s, the City Council and
various boards and commissions held hearings to discuss segregation in housing. During these
hearings, several realtors were called as witnesses, and stated that they would not show African-
Americans houses west of Jackson St. or north of E. McCarty St., for fear of losing business with
white home owners. LU students explained the difficulties of obtaining off -campus housing, as

Also during the 1960s, urban renewal projects throughout the nation removed many low-income
and/or African-American neighborhoods to allow development of interstate highways and for the
purpose of "slum clearance." Jefferson City was part of this movement, with several urban
renewal efforts removing older buildings in the downtown area, in the African-American
community, and west of the State Capitol — the area known as the "Millbottom " These projects
begain in the 1950s and ended in the 1980s.
The term "urban renewal" began to have a negative connotation. After the 1980s, city
government and the Jefferson City Housing Authority purchased smaller numbers of buildings
that were deteriorated, usually one or two at a time, and demolishing them. Some of the Housing
Authority's buildings were purchased and rehabilitated, such as the Jefferson Female Seminary
in the 400 block of State St., the house at 505 State St. and the offices of Architects Alliance on
W. Main St.. A number of houses were demolished by the city to make way for construction of
new homes by Habitat for Humanity, a non-profit housing organization. Others cleared the way
for city facilities or remain as vacant lots.

Where did Jefferson Citv's African-American residents live?
Beginning around the 1850s, a couple of free African-American women bought property in the
area where E. Miller and Cherry St. cross. In -lot 760 was purchased in 1855 by an African-
American woman named Martha King. Sarah Bolton purchased In -Lots 643/644 in August,1863.
According to historian Gary Kremer, this "nucleus of a black community" emerged around the
King and Bolton properties. 36
African-Americans poured into Jefferson City during the last years of the Civil War, to be under
the protection of the Union troops who controlled the town. 37 Following the war most of the
city's African-American population lived in the downtown area, many on what was known as
"Hog Alley." Seventy-six African-Americans lived along this alley which stretched from Adams
Street to Madison, between High and Main (now Capitol Avenue),38 where hogs were allowed to
roam free in search of garbage to eat. There were also heavy concentrations of African-
Americans near the African-American churches, in the 400 and 500 blocks of East Miller (a total
of 45) and the 400 blocks of Adams and McCarty Streets. The 300 block of East Miller (the
block immediately east of the Second Baptist Church) had 46 African-Americans. 39
In 1882, three young African-American children from the same family died within a few days of
each other, resulting in panic spreading throughout the city. Health care during this period was
what we would consider primitive, and the fear of communicable diseases was a strong
motivator. Frightened residents drove all of the African-American families from their homes
downtown, and boarded up the buildings to prohibit their return. Callaway County residents
threatened violence if any of these families attempted to cross the Missouri River. The coroner
determined the children had died from ingestion of a "corrosive substance" rather than smallpox
or other disease. But residents became determined to remove all African-American families from
Hog Alley. 40
Most African-American men (and some women) worked for people or businesses located
downtown at this time, so finding housing nearby was critical. African-American institutions,
such as Second Baptist Church, were located on the fringe of downtown, so African-American
people wanted to stay within walking distance of these establishments. Second Baptist Church
was, and is still today, located at the corner of E. Miller and Monroe Streets, in the third building
erected on the site since 1865. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, or A.M.E., was located
at Madison and E. Miller Streets, then in 1894 some of that congregation formed the A.M.E.
Zion Church and built a new church at 512 Madison. Education for African-American children
began in the old schoolhouse on Hobo Hill, now the location of Simonsen 9th Grade School, then
in 1874 the school moved to the "Old German -English Building" in the 200 block of W.

McCarty St.. This school was renamed the Washington School in 1891, then a new school of the
same name was built between Lafayette and Cherry Streets on Elm Street in 1903.41 Lincoln
Institute was established on Dunklin and Lafayette Streets in 1871.42
According to Gary Kremer, the turn of the century saw an emerging African-American
population of free African-Americans and ex -slaves concentrated in the 800 blocks of Miller and
Elm Streets and the 500 and 600 blocks of Cherry and Chestnut Streets. 4' This small but vibrant
neighborhood was anchored by Gensky's Grocery Store (now listed on the National Register of
Historic Places) and the New Hope African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church at 728 E. Miller.
In the 1950s, Gensky's was bought by an African American fraternal organization who in 1966
rented the lower level to Dr. Charles W. Cooper, a African-American physician. In 1982, the
Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) studied the stone house at 501 Cherry, purchased
in 1867 by Martha King. The quality of the stonework suggested the use of unskilled prison
labor - the only other documented inmate -constructed limestone structure in Jefferson City was
the 1840 old city jail, demolished in 1982. In 1872 Hiram Brooks purchased the home at a time
when few other African -American -owned structures existed in the vicinity, making it the earliest
extant African -American -owned structure in Jefferson City at the time of the study. The War
Department's 1863 General Order No. 143 authorized Union enlistment of African-American
troops to ensure full citizenship. Hiram enlisted with the Union forces in 1864, serving with
Missouri's 62nd regiment of the United States Colored Infantry, receiving personal freedom and
some monetary aid. Private Hiram and others in the 62nd founded Lincoln Institute, now Lincoln
University, as they wanted to continue the education they had acquired while in the service.
The presence of African-American institutions, including Lincoln Institute at Dunklin and
Lafayette Streets, and long-standing ownership of property in the area by African-American
residents encouraged other African-American residents to move to the southeast corner of the
city. This demographic shift is shown in the 1900 City Directory. There are 546 specific
addresses listed for African-Americans in the city; 316 of those addresses (or nearly 58%) are
south of McCarty and east of Adams. The heaviest concentrations of African-Americans, outside
of Lincoln Institute students and faculty members living on campus, were in the 800 block of
East Elm (12), the 700 block of Locust (25), and the 600 block of Lafayette (15).44 The existence
of Wears Creek (which flooded fairly frequently at that time) probably aided in movement of
African-American residents to this area, as land near the creek would have been less desired by
white buyers and therefore less expensive to purchase, plus the prior existence of African-
Americans in this area made such movement more palatable to the surrounding community. 41 It

should be noted that in the 1960s the city did not extend much past Clark Avenue south of
Highway 50 at that time. Lafayette Street did not extend south past Franklin St.46
James Ford quoted Julius H. Conrath in his History of Jefferson City, describing the physical
location of the city's African-American community as living in the 1870s and 1880s "[e]ast of
Adams and south of McCarty Street".47 In an interview by the author with Glover Brown, he
described the African-American community "east of Jackson Street and south of McCarty
Street."48 A news article from the 1960s reporting on a hearing regarding the practice of
redlining, or refusing to sell or rent to African-American people, confirmed Jackson Street as the
dividing line. 49 A study by the author of the Jefferson City 1920 Census records confirms that the
majority of African-American residents lived east of Jackson Street, with several residents
located near churches on E. Miller near Madison Street, primarily in the 400 and 500 blocks of
E. McCarty and the 300 and 400 blocks of E. Miller St., located close to Wears Creek. There

As important as where African-Americans lived in Jefferson City was how they lived, and the
quality of housing available to them. In the early 1920s, a housing survey done by the Missouri
Negro Industrial Commission reported that housing conditions for African-Americans were
deplorable. The report emphasized:

Only 89 of the houses are located on the streets. The majority are either built in
the rear of the lot, in alleys or on back streets, where it is almost impossible to
reach them in rainy weather, because of the unpaved muddy streets - - -- Those
houses with three rooms or less number 172. - - . Eighty per cent of the homes are
without water in them and the water must be furnished by wells and cisterns.
The reason that their housing was so poor, according to the Industrial Commission, was that job
opportunities for African-
Americans were severely limited,
making it extremely difficult for
African-Americans to accumulate
the capital necessary to become
property owners. 52 As shown in the
map at right, the size of the lots
between Marshall and Lafayette
along Maple Street and between
Dunklin and McCarty Streets east
of Cherry is quite small. This would
have allowed construction of a
densely populated neighborhood,
with less expensive homes in these
areas. Not surprisingly, much of
these areas were demolished as part
of urban renewal in the 1960s.

The Sanborn Maps of 1908 do not fully cover the neighborhood, but in the small area depicted
there are clearly two vacant frame dwellings at the rear of lots facing Elm St. between Lafayette

Americans answered "unknown" to the question "Do you own or rent your home?"
(approximately 30). 54 This could indicate they had constructed some form of housing with
permission of the lot's owner, were allowed to live in a small dwelling by the owner, perhaps in
exchange for odd jobs, or they were squatters. Apparently, this was not too uncommon, as the

they rented or owned their residence. 55

Segregation
As the twentieth century
progressed, racial segregation
further isolated the African-
American community. Although no
state laws prohibited integration in
restaurants, bars, hotels and
swimming pools, integration was
prohibited by local custom. To
serve the African-American community's needs, a African -American -owned business
community developed on Lafayette Street, known for many years as "The Foot," as in the "foot"
of the steep hill on E. Dunklin St.. A number of African -American -owned businesses located
primarily on the 600 block of Lafayette St. included the Booker T. Hotel, Norman's Laundry,
Pat's Shine Parlor, Turner's Service Station, the Tops Bar, Leona's Cafe and Acme Cleaners,
among others.56 The Foot was home to the self-proclaimed "Color Boys," well-known LU
professors Lorenzo Greene and Cecil Blue.
African-American visitors to Jefferson City could stay in the Foot at the Booker T. Washington
Hotel at 602 Lafayette and eat at the Green Onion. The Negro Motorist Green Book, first
published in 1936, listed in its 1946 edition 15 Jefferson City businesses that welcomed African-
American customers, and all but three were located within three blocks of the Foot.57 Customers
of these businesses lived within walking distance of The Foot, housed within a few blocks in the
southeast comer of the city. Some of these customers may have been doctors or professors at
Lincoln University (LU) who held PhDs from prestigious universities, yet could not be served
anywhere else in the community. From the 1920s, when the first African-American legislators
were elected to the Missouri legislature, these elected officials stayed and dined on the campus of
Lincoln University because there were no hotels or restaurants open to them in downtown
Jefferson City.
Jefferson City's African-American population and the number of businesses that served this
population were larger than many towns in Missouri, even those with a larger total population.
Jefferson City's population in 1940 was approximately 24,270, yet in the 1946 Green Book it
had 15 businesses open to African-American customers. Compare this to St. Joseph, population
75,711 (one Green Book listing) or Springfield, population 61,238 (one Green Book listing).
Sedalia, population 20,428, had three Green Book listings, while Hannibal, population 20,865,
had only one .58

Dr. Kremer has explained that the "history of the Foot could not be told separately from the story
of where and why African-American residents have lived in Jefferson City, nor without the
backdrop of Lincoln University."59 At the close of the Civil War, soldiers and officers of the
62nd United States Colored Infantry took steps to establish an educational institution in Jefferson
City, Missouri, which they named Lincoln Institute. The school was intended to educate freed
African-Americans. The school began in the old schoolhouse on Hobo Hill in 1866 and moved to
the present campus in 1871. Lincoln Institute formally became a state institution in 1879 with the
deeding of the property to the state. Under the second Morrill Act of 1890, Lincoln became a
land grant institution, and the following year industrial and agricultural courses were added to
the curriculum 60 In 1921, the Missouri
Legislature passed a bill introduced by
Walthall M. Moore, the first African-
American to serve in that body, which
changed the name from Lincoln Institute
to Lincoln University and created a Board
of Curators to govern the University. i
During this time there was pressure on the
University of Missouri to enroll African-
American students, which the university
and the state legislature resisted. So state
funding for Lincoln University was
provided at the time of the name change, which allowed President Nathan B. Young to recruit
professors from ivy -league colleges and universities, including Sterling Brown and Cecil Blue
from Harvard. Later, he brought aboard Lorenzo Greene from Columbia University and Oliver
Cromwell Cox from the University of Chicago. Others joined the faculty, including distinguished
writers and poets, earning LU the nickname "Black Harvard of the Midwest "62

One interesting note about this section of town is that the segregation was never 100%, as it was
not terribly unusual to find an African-American person living on a street or block otherwise
occupied entirely by whites. Even more common was to find African-Americans and whites
living on blocks, or one side of a block, that housed only members of their own race, while
across the street or around the corner would be houses occupied by members of another race. So
while the southeast section of Jefferson City was considered racially segregated, it still contained
some all -white streets or blocks. Concentration of African-Americans into the area demolished
as part of the Capitol View Urban Renewal Project started around 1900 and accelerated in the

late 1930s and early 1940s. Increased segregation occurred during and after the Great
Depression, so by the 1960s this was still a fairly recent phenomenon. 63
Gowns vs. Towns
Tension developed between the African-American academics at Lincoln University and the
"town blacks" who had built the business community at the Foot, with a segregationist white
community surrounding and opposed to both groups. From the graph below, it is clear that the
African-American community was vastly outnumbered by the white community. 64

presidents tried to attract better qualified instructors by improving salaries at the school. The
result was the emergence of a well-educated, financially -better -off, class of professional African-
Americans who could afford to buy houses which other Jefferson City African-Americans could
not afford.65 It was no accident, then, that the African-Americans who bought a number of the
more attractive 2 -story houses on Lafayette, for example, or built houses on E. Dunklin directly
across from the university were Lincoln University professors who made their purchases in the
late thirties and early forties.
A number of LU professors bought houses in the 400 and 500 blocks of Lafayette. These stately
four-square houses were owned by Cecil Blue, Chester Himes, James Seeney, Marcia Hammons,
Lorenzo Greene, Sterling Brown, A.T. Busby and others. 66 In 1959, three LU employees shared
a house at 408 Lafayette: A.S. Pride, a department head at LU, Eugene Harmes, a professor and
M.S. Lusk, an administrative clerk at Lincoln. Dr. R.G. Richardson lived and had his doctor's
office at 421 Lafayette in 1959.67 Dr. W. A. Ross owned the house at 500 Lafayette, where he
practiced medicine for 53 years. Dr. Ross also served as the Director of Health Services at LU
from 1960 to 1982, marched in the historic march from Selma to Montgomery in 1962 and
served as President of the local NAACP chapter for 35 years. Dr. Ross passed away in 2007, 68
and the house is now for sale.
There was a clear divide between the LU professors, seen by local African-Americans as "well-
educated outsiders" who moved to Jefferson City to teach at the "black Harvard of the Midwest"

and those who were working class, whose ancestors had lived in the area for generations and
built their businesses in the Foot to serve the African-American community. 69
While close proximity to LU certainly aided these businesses' prosperity, descendants of the
business owners and operators believe it was the established African-American community that
attracted and helped sustain the University. For example, Glover Brown, whose parents had a
restaurant on Lafayette for four decades, commented, "I've heard it said that Lincoln University
is an anchor in this community, but I must point out the black community was here long before
Lincoln University existed."70
Urban Renewal
Urban planners ignored the psychological and social worth of these buildings to the African-
American community. No one ever asked the African-American residents of the community
what buildings they thought important, much less tried to understand the role these buildings had
played in their lives. 7' Now, over fifty years later, elderly members of the African-American
community still harbor resentments regarding the loss of the Foot, and an entire generation of
African-American Jefferson Citians have grown up without any appreciation of what pre -urban
renewal African-American community life was like. Into the 1980s, urban renewal officials
tersely asserted that there were no buildings of any historical import destroyed during urban
renewal.72
Besides Dr. Ross, the rest of the 500 block of Lafayette had no Lincoln employees or doctors in
1959, and much of this block was removed, leaving only the four identical Craftsman houses that
included the Monastery and Dr. Ross' house (the Craftsman houses were recently removed). 4f
the four blocks surveyed by Gary Kremer in 1982, the ones with the oldest and largest
concentration of African-Americans experienced the most extensive destruction of its buildings
in the 1960s. Not one building remains on the 800 block of Elm Street, a dense residential area,
or the 600 block of Lafayette Street, the city's most important African-American commercial
area. Conversely, the area which was almost untouched by urban renewal was a block which
remained partly white until the very recent past.

School Street local Historic District
Design Guidelines
NOTE: These Design Guidelines only apply to exterior changes to houses in the
School Street Local Historic District.
I. Guidelines for Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings
The guidelines shall apply to exterior rehabilitation work only.
A. General Objectives
1. Rehabilitation work should maintain and be consistent with the historic architectural
styles, date/period and detailing of the structure.
2. Rehabilitation work which is intended to enhance or return the structure to its original
historic appearance should be based upon historic, physical, or pictorial evidence,
rather than on conjectural designs. Work that has no historical basis and which seeks
to create a different appearance is discouraged.
3. Work should first attempt to repair and maintain the existing elements of the
structure, whenever reasonably possible. In the event replacement of details and
materials is necessary, when possible, these elements should match the elements
being replaced in size, shape, materials, pattern, texture and directional orientation
of installation.
B. Building Wall Material Requirements
1. Existing wall materials and details shall be retained through repair and maintenance,
unless deteriorated beyond reasonable repair.
2. When replacement of existing materials and details is required, the new materials
shall be similar in appearance, maintaining the original materials in size, shape,
pattern, texture and directional orientation on installation.
3. Masonry walls shall maintain their present or original appearance. Paint may be
removed from masonry surfaces to return to the original appearance. The painting of,
or the removal of paint, from a masonry surface shall be done only if necessary to
preserve deteriorating masonry surfaces and the historic integrity of the structure. To
1
71
prevent damage, masonry shall be cleaned by the gentlest means possible. Abrasive
cleaning methods, such as sandblasting using sand, shall be avoided.
4. The use of steel, aluminum, manufactured board or vinyl siding as a replacement
material for primary walls is discouraged, but may be acceptable if these materials
maintain the character of the structure and the original siding shape, pattern, texture
and directional orientation. Character defining details and elements such as, but not
limited to, window/door trim and detailing, eave brackets, porch columns and railings,
and other special elements and details which give the structure its character and
appearance, shall be retained when applying steel, aluminum, or vinyl siding. Rear
additions, which are often covered with a different siding than the primary structure's
walls, should use a replacement siding that most closely maintains the character of
the structure and the original siding shape, pattern, texture and directional
orientation. Character defining details should be retained when removing or applying
siding materials.
C. Requirements for Windows and Doors
1. Existing windows and doors, their glazing, trim, and the character defining elements
shall be retained through repair when reasonably possible.
2. Existing window and door locations shall be retained, not removed, covered or filled
in, unless necessary for flood -proofing a structure.
3. Repair of original windows and doors is the preferred option in this historic district.
Replacement windows and doors shall be similar in sash design and appearance,
maintaining the original size, shape, muntin pattern and size, glazing area and tint,
and placement location. Windows and doors on a wall facing a street shall be the
primary consideration in review of building permit applications, and shall most closely
replicate the originals. Vinyl, vinyl wrapped, or other lower quality windows and doors
on walls facing a street shall be discouraged. Windows and doors on rear additions or
on walls not facing a street shall maintain the original size, shape, muntin pattern,
glazing area and tint, but may be of a different material than the originals (ex.: vinyl
wrapped or metal windows may be allowed).
4. Replacement windows having thermal and maintenance reducing qualities may be
used, but shall maintain those appearance and character defining elements described
above. Ex: laminated glass with a clear low -E coating or double pane windows may be
used.
N
72
5. New window and door openings shall maintain the building's facade proportions and
rhythms, and shall match the existing window and door design. Where the building
code requires egress, larger windows may replace original small windows so long as
they are compatible in style with the original windows. Every effort, however, shall be
made to place replacement egress windows on secondary or rear elevations.
6. Replacement trim materials shall be similar in appearance, maintaining the original
materials' size, shape, pattern, texture and detailing.
7. Window features and accessories, such as storm windows, screens, awnings, and
shutters shall maintain the appearance of the main window and the building's facade
proportions and rhythms.
8. Door features and accessories, such as storm doors, screens, sidelights, and transoms
shall maintain the appearance of the main door and the building's facade proportions
and rhythms. Original transoms and sidelights may not be covered or boarded.
D. Requirements for Roofs
1. Roof forms and architectural features such as, but not limited to, dormers, chimneys,
overhangs, eaves, eave brackets or lookouts, and fascia, which give the roof its
essential character, shall be retained through repair when reasonably possible.
2. Replacement materials shall maintain the original materials' size, shape, pattern,
texture and directional orientation of installation when reasonable possible. If a roof
has standard tab asphalt shingles, the same type of replacement shingles should be
used. If architectural shingles have been used on a roof, architectural shingles may be
used as a replacement, even if this would not have been the original roof style.
E. Requirements for Porches
1. Existing porches and their architectural elements such as, but not limited to railings,
columns, brackets and steps shall be retained through repair. Addition of wood epoxy
to make small repairs to damaged elements shall be allowed. Wooden porch elements
shall be painted.
2. Should one or more of these elements be deteriorated enough to warrant
replacement, replacement materials shall maintain the original materials' size, shape,
pattern, texture and directional orientation or installation. Treated wood may be used
for replacement of porch elements, but must be painted after being allowed to
weather for a period of at least six months, not exceeding 12 months.
3
73
F. Requirements for Engineering Systems: Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing
1. Engineering systems and their associated elements such as, but not limited to, air
conditioning and heating units, flues, conduits, cables, electrical boxes, meters,
ventilators, and lovers shall, when feasible, be placed on the side or rear facades of
the structure.
II. Guidelines for Additions to Existing Structures
A. General Objectives
1. Additions should be located on side or rear facades where the character defining
elements and visual appearance of the front facade of the structure will not be
obscured, damaged or destroyed, when reasonably possible.
2. Additions to existing structures that are visible from the street should maintain and
not detract from the appearance and character defining elements of the existing
structure, their scale and proportions.
3. Additions should provide consistency and continuity through the use of similar forms,
massing, rhythms, details, height, directional orientation of building, element lines
and materials.
4. Vertical additions should maintain the established height of the structures along the
same street. These additions shall maintain the established rhythms and proportions
that are established by the lower portions of the structure and shall maintain the
structure's architectural integrity.
5. If possible, additions should be designed so that they can be removed in the future
without damaging the existing building.
B. Building Site Requirements
1. Additions shall maintain the building setbacks from the street and for side yards as
defined by the other buildings along the same streets. When the setback pattern
varies, the addition shall be maintained between the minimum and maximum
setbacks that are defined by the other buildings along the same side of the street,
established as follows: (a) Front yard setbacks shall be established by averaging the
existing front yards along the street frontage in the same block and on the same side
of the street; (b) Side and rear yard setbacks shall be as required by the Zoning Code.
4
74
2. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 below, paving within the front yard shall be
limited to primary driveways and sidewalks. The surface area of driveways and
sidewalks shall not exceed 30% of the front yard lot area. Parking areas shall be
located behind the front plane of the building in the side or rear yard or inner
courtyards, except as provided for allowable parking lots as described in this section.
3. Allowable parking lots for land uses requiring ten (10) or more spaces may be located
in the front yard provided the parking lot is a minimum of 30 feet from the front
property/right-of-way line. Parking lots shall be screened from view along the front
and side property lines with a perimeter strip containing a combination of medium -
to -large canopy (deciduous) trees and evergreen trees, planted three (3) trees per 100
linear feet; plus a barrier feature such as a hedge, berm, fence, wall or combination
of such features, with minimum height of three (3) feet. Up to ten percent (10%) of
the length of a screen may be interrupted for access to the property, however, at least
one driveway access shall be permitted for each development. All plants shall be
selected from the Approved Planting List, on file in the Department of Planning and
Code Enforcement. Parking lot design and landscaping shall comply with the
provisions of the Zoning Code.
4. Addition of landscaping features such as, but not limited to, walls, fencing, lighting
and planters shall be consistent with the appearance and general character of those
same elements that exist along the same street and neighborhood.
C. Requirements for Building Materials and Elements
1. Building materials shall create a visual consistency and continuity between the
existing structure and the addition. This may be achieved, first, through the continued
use of materials that are present on the existing structure or, secondly, through the
use of different materials that maintain the same scale, proportions, rhythms, and
directional orientation as those present on the existing structure.
2. Building elements, their location, and the sight lines that they establish shall be
continued to the addition to create a visual consistency and continuity. This may be
achieved through maintaining such elements, details and building lines as the
established height of windows and doors, the repetition of window glazing patterns,
the continuance of the roof forms, eave lines and overhangs, the continuance of
special detailing present on the existing structure.
3. Design the foundation height and the eave lines of additions generally to align with
those of the existing buildings, unless elevation of a structure is required for flood -
5
75
proofing. Interior floor -to -ceiling heights on the front elevation shall not be less than
nine (9) feet, with a maximum story height of 12 feet. Additions to front facades shall
have the appearance of having no more than two and one-half (2-1/2) stories and be
limited to 35 feet in height. Where front setbacks greater than 35 feet are possible,

elements maintain the structure's established rhythms, scale, proportions, and
architectural appearance and character.
2. Roof forms on additions shall maintain ' the existing structure's appearance and
character through similar roof forms, slope and detailing.
E. Requirements for Porches
1. Enclosure of porches and entries shall maintain the structure's existing rhythms, scale,
proportions, appearance and character.
2. When required to achieve access to the first floor level, handicapped ramps may be
installed and shall be constructed so that in the future, the ramp may be removed
without significantly altering the original structure.
III. Guidelines for New Construction
A. General Objectives
1. Designs for new construction need not duplicate existing styles within a district, but
should draw upon common characteristics of structures in the approximate
neighborhood to provide a continuity and consistency. Characteristics, such as, but
not limited to, porches, entries, roof slope and form, and window/door styles,
maintain the continuity and consistency of new construction within the district.
2. New construction should respect the established area's scale, proportions, rhythms,
and relationships of both principal and accessory structures.
76
B. Building Site Requirements
1. Keep the orientation of the proposed building's front elevation to the street
consistent with the orientation of existing buildings' front elevation to the street.
2. New secondary structures, such as detached garages, shall maintain the secondary
relationship with the primary structure.
3. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 4 below, paving within the front yard shall be
limited to primary driveways and sidewalks. The surface of driveways and sidewalks
shall not exceed 30% of the front yard lot area. Locate new parking areas as
unobtrusively as possible behind the front plane of the building in the side or rear yard
or inner courtyards, except as provided for allowable parking lots as described in this
section.
4. Allowable parking lots for land uses requiring ten (10) or more spaces maybe located
in the front yard provided the parking lot is a minimum of 30 feet from the front
property/right-of-way line and is screened from view along the front and side
property lines with a perimeter strip containing a combination of medium -to -large
canopy (deciduous) trees and evergreen trees, planted three (3) trees per 100 linear
feet; plus a barrier feature such as a hedge, berm, fence, wall or combination of such
features, with minimum height of three (3) feet. Up to ten percent (10%) of the length
of a screen may be interrupted for access to the property, however, at least one
driveway access shall be permitted for each development. All plants shall be selected
from the Approved Planting List, on file in the Department of Planning and Code
Enforcement. Parking lot design and landscaping shall comply with the provisions of
the Zoning Code.
S. Use driveways and alleys to access side and rear parking areas and garages. Attached
garages shall not be located on the front facade of a new building unless incorporated
into the mass of the building, with the garage doors oriented to the side or rear.
"Snout houses" where a garage projects form the front facade shall not be permitted.
6. For new parking areas, use paving material that is compatible with traditional paving
materials for driveways in the district. Parking areas and driveways shall be designed
in accordance with standards of the Department of Public Works. Acceptable paving
materials include pavers, concrete, textured -concrete, aggregate, asphalt, and other
paving material approved by the Department of Public works. Gravel shall not be
utilized.
7
77
7. Existing large trees and other significant landscape features shall be incorporated
into places for additions and new construction. Where existing trees and other
significant landscape features cannot be retained, new trees and landscape features
shall be incorporated into the plans and installed on the site. Outside of parking lot
landscape areas, trees used to replace existing trees which must be removed shall
have a minimum diameter/caliper of one and one-half inches (1-1/2") measured six
inches (6") above the ground.,
8. Existing historic site features such as retaining walls, gate posts and tree guards shall
be retained, replaced in kind, or similar features incorporated in the design.
9. New landscaping features such as, but not limited to, walls, fencing, lighting, and
planters, shall be consistent with the general character of those same elements that
exist along the same street and approximate neighborhood.
C. Requirements for Building Materials
1. Design the height of the proposed building to be compatible with the height of
existing buildings in the School Street Historic District. Minimum setbacks for new
construction shall be established by averaging the existing front yards along the
street frontage in the same block and on the same side of the street; (b) Side and
rear yards shall be as required by the Zoning Code.
(a) Interior floor -to -ceiling heights on the front elevation shall not be less than nine
(9) feet, with a maximum story height of 12 feet.
(b) Except as provided in the Differential Height/Setback Schedule, new buildings
constructed shall have the appearance from the front street line, of having no
more than two and one-half (2-1/2) stories, and be limited to 35 feet in overall
height.
2. Design the proportion (the ratio of the height to the width) of the proposed
building's front elevation to be compatible with the proportion of existing front
elevations in the district.
3. Utilize new windows and doors that are compatible in proportion, shape, position,
location, pattern, and size with windows and doors of existing structures in the
district. On the facades visible from the front street line, individual window units
shall not exceed 48 inches. Compatible groupings of double hung windows are
acceptable. The separation between individual windows in these groupings shall not
be less than four (4) inches. Use of more than three (3) single window units in a
grouping is not appropriate. New windows shall follow the traditional proportion of
being taller than they are wide.
78
4. Keep the roof shape of the proposed building consistent with roof shapes in the
district: gable and hip. Roof pitch shall be consistent with other existing structures in
the district.
5. Keep the predominant material of the proposed building consistent with historic
materials in the district: brick, stone, stucco, and wooden clapboard siding. Use of
synthetic materials is discouraged, however synthetic materials may be substituted
for historic materials if approved on a case by case basis. Synthetic materials shall be
specifically identified and approved on an individual basis by the Department of
Planning and Code Enforcement.
6. Make the scale (the relationship of a building's mass and details to the human
figure) of the proposed building compatible with the scale of existing structures in
the district.
7. Ensure that the architectural details of the proposed building complement the
architectural details of existing structures in the district.
8. Contemporary construction that does not directly copy from historic buildings in the
district but is compatible with them in height, proportion, roof shape, material,
texture, scale, detail, and color, is strongly encouraged.
9. New single family structures shall maintain the traditional neighborhood scale.
10. New non -single family structures shall (a) include architectural details on the
building facades visible from the street which complement the existing residential
architecture in the district; and (b) shall be divided into smaller modules that are
similar in size and scale to traditional single family houses in the district.

width which are parallel with E. McCarty and Lafayette Streets or within 30 degrees
of being parallel with this street shall incorporate the following design detail into the
front building facades: (a) each module width shall not exceed 20 percent (20%) of
the width of the front facade, and (b) each module shall be off -set from the front
facade a minimum of five percent (5%) of the total width of the facade.
12. For the purposes of this section, "building height" shall be the vertical distance from
the grade within ten (10) feet of the building to the (a) highest point of a flat roof;
(b) the dock line of a mansard roof; or (c) the average height between eaves and

Ms. Abbott,
During our recent meeting, The Old Town Revitalization Company discussed the
proposed local historic district that will be coming before the Historic Preservation
Commission on May 1, 2018.
Old Town Revitalization Company is concerned that the proposed historic district for the
School Street area may impose requirements that discourage the rehabilitation of
homes. Old Town Revitalization Company supports the formation of historic districts we
want to ensure the ordinance will promote the redevelopment and renovation of
properties. We encourage the City and Historic Jefferson City to work with the existing
property owners to ensure they are aware of the proposed requirements.
Please express our concerns to the Commission prior to their meeting.
Thank you.

Case No. P18015
Lage, LLC
1050 S. Country Club Drive
Final Subdivision Plat
Turtle Creek Subdivision, Section Two
PLANNING STAFF REPORT
JEFFERSON CITY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
June 14,2018
Case No. P18015 — 1050 South Country Club Drive, Final Subdivision Plat of Turtle Creek Subdivision,
Section Two. Request filed by Lage LLC, property owner, for a Final Subdivision Plat of 16.02 acres consisting of
41 lots. The property is zoned RS -2 Single Family Residential and is located on the west side of South Country
Club Drive 350 feet north of Old Lohman Road and is described as part of the Southwest Quarter of Section 8 and
part of the Northwest Quarter of Section 17, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, Jefferson City, Missouri (Central
Missouri Professional Services, Consultant).
Description of Proposal
This proposal is for the approval of a Final Subdivision Plat (consisting of 16.02 acres). The property is zoned RS -2
and is intended to be the final phase of the Turtle Creek development. This last phase consists of 16.02 acres.
Final Plat
The final Subdivision Plat details the street layout and lot layout of the proposed Turtle Creek Subdivision Section
Two.
Acreage: The total size of section two is 16.02 acres.
Number of Lots: 41 lots are shown on the final plat.
Lot Sizes: The typical lot is shown with a lot size of 10,000 sf, which is the minimum lot size of the RS -2
district. All lots meet minimum width (80') and area (10,000 sq. ft.) requirements of the RS -2 district. All
corner lots exceed the required 12,000 sf size.
Streets: The Final Plat shows three streets ending with cul-de-sac bulbs. Right-of-way extensions to the
property line are shown on two of the streets, which would allow for future connectivity to neighboring
property. Street names are identified on the plat and do not conflict with current street names in the Jefferson
City urban area. Parking is designated on one side of each street.
Sidewalks: Sidewalks are required on one side of all streets. Sidewalks are shown on the north side of Tanman
Court and the east side of Ronan Court and Ryder Court.
Utilities: All lots are shown with access to water lines, sanitary sewer lines, underground electric lines, and
telephone lines, and gas. Fire Hydrants are required to meet the minimum spacing of 600 feet and Street Lights
are required to meet the minimum spacing of 250 feet.
Notable Lots: Lots 40-47 are notable due to them being subject to the riparian corridor. They are to be slab
homes only. A sewer line with 15' wide easement traverses the lots and the rear 60' of the lots is subject to a
stream setback. Lots 75 and 80 are flag lots, which are created through a minor rearrangement of lot lines (From
the Preliminary Plat); both lots meet the required 35 feet of width for the flagpole portion of the lot. Reserved
Tract B consisting of .05 acres is to be transferred to the owners of Lot 20 of the first section to resolve a
setback issue. Lot 48 is dedicated to the City of Jefferson for the maintenance of a storm water quality basin.
Staff Recommendation
The Final Subdivision Plat meets the requirements for subdivision plats as outlined within the Subdivision Code.
The street network provides for future connectivity options to neighboring properties. Staff recommends approval
of the plat documents subject to correction of minor technical details identified by city staff.
Form of Motion
1. Approval of the Final Subdivision Plat of Turtle Creek Subdivision Section Two subject to comments and
technical corrections of the Planning and Engineering Divisions.

Item 7. — Other New Business
Case No. P18015 — Final Subdivision Plat, Turtle Creek Subdivision Section Two, 1050
South Country Club Drive (RS -2)
ENGINEERING STAFF RECOMMENDATION -
Recommend approval, subject to any technical corrections being addressed prior to the plat being
considered by the City Council.
Existing Infrastructure Summary
• Public infrastructure exists in the vicinity.
• Storm water facilities exist in the vicinity.
• The entire watershed drains to the creek adjacent to this property.
• An existing 12" diameter clay tile trunk line sewer main is located on the property running parallel
with the creek.
• South Country Club Drive is an existing curb and guttered arterial roadway, no parking
allowed.
• Sidewalks have been/ are being installed in Section One of the subdivision.
Improvements Summary
Roadway
• Tanman Court is planned with a 33' width, 60' r/w which allows parking on one (1) side of the
street; designed as a lane -court, with twenty (20) — fifty (50) units, with an ADT(average
daily traffic) of 200-500 vehicles a day.
• A permanent cul-de-sac is planned at the end of Tanman Court. A future roadway
connection could be made as designed without removal of the cul-de-sac bulb.
• Ronan Court and Ryder Court are planned with a 28' width, 50' r/w which allows parking on one
(1) side of the street; designed as a place -court, with twenty (20) or less units, with an ADT
(average daily traffic) of 0-200 vehicles a day.
• A permanent cul-de-sac is planned at the end of Ronan Court and Ryder Court.. A future
roadway connection could be made as designed without removal of the cul-de-sac bulb for Ryder
Court.
Storm Water / Erosion Control
• Storm water detention is not a specific requirement for this project, storm water quality treatment
however, is required.
• A storm water quality basin is proposed on Lot 48 of the subdivision. This basin is designed to
capture and hold the first 1.37 inches of rain from the subdivision and will contain sediment and
pollutants from drainage prior to entering the creek area. The lot will then be transferred to the
City for maintenance once infrastructure is completed, and all lots are stabilized.
• Drainage swales are shown to collect backyard drainage from homes between the cul-de-sacs.
• An erosion and sediment control plan has been included with infrastructure plans.
• Slab homes (without walkout basements) are planned on the lots along the creek. Homes are
proposed at a minimum of four (4) feet above the top of bank of the creek bank. Walkout
basements are feasible for these lots.
• The 25' Riparian Corridor and the 60' Stream Setback have been noted on the plat/ plans.
Sanitary Sewer
• The proposed development is to be served by new sanitary sewer mains that will tie to the existing
12" diameter clay tile trunk main for the watershed.
• Sewer main extension will serve the lots within the subdivision.
• Lots along the creek will need to tie directly to the existing 12" trunk line sewer main with the
existing service laterals. Due to the existing main pipe material (clay tile) and City trunk line
maintenance requirements, the consultant has proposed to use "Inserta-Tee" type connections for
the sewer services for lots along the creek. The Sewer Division will televise the main prior to
acceptance of Section Two, after installation of these sewer taps to insure that the integrity of the
main is not compromised by lateral installation. As with Section One of the subdivision, the
service laterals taps will be installed in conjunction with the sanitary sewer infrastructure
construction.
Sidewalk
• Four (4) ft. wide sidewalk is proposed on one (1) side of all streets within the subdivision.
• A sidewalk ramp and pad have been provided at each cluster mail box.
Roadway Classification(s)
• South Country Club Drive is considered an arterial roadway. All streets proposed will be local
roadways.
Fire Hydrants / Street Lights/ Utilities
• Facilities proposed within the subdivision are in accordance with City standards.
