Demolition Clearance Public Hearing-Over 100 Years Old
Ms. Senzee explained that 418 Case Avenue is under consideration for demolition clearance and is
owned by the Jefferson City School District. The Historic Southside/Old Munichburg District &
Neighborhood Plan identifies this property as future redevelopment land use, presumably for Capital
Region Medical Center and Jefferson City High School expansion. In addition, the May 2019 tornado
significantly damaged and/or destroyed this property. Any local significance to this working class
neighborhood is no longer intact. This property no longer exemplifies the cultural, economic, social or
historic heritage of the city. Staff recommendation for this property is demolition.
Mr. Frank Underwood, Director of Facilities for Jefferson City Public Schools resides at 220 Partridge
Lane, Holts Summit, Missouri. He explained that Jefferson City High School is landlocked and the
purpose of acquiring this property is to further expand their sports facilities.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.
Mr. Hoffman moved and Ms. Jones seconded to approve the demolition clearance application for 418
Case Avenue. The motion passed unanimously.
Demolition Clearance Review-Under 100 Years Old
Ms. Senzee explained that the following properties under consideration for demolition review are
owned by the Jefferson City School District: 409 Union Street; 411 Case Avenue; and 411 Case Avenue.
The Historic Southside/Old Munichburg District & Neighborhood Plan identifies these properties as future
redevelopment land use, presumably for Capital Region Medical Center and Jefferson City High School
expansion. In addition, the May 2019 tornado significantly damaged and/or destroyed these properties.
These properties do not hold stand-alone historical significance in terms of heritage, cultural or
architecturally. Staff recommendation for these properties is demolition.
Ms. Jones moved and Mr. Hoffman seconded to approve the demolition review application for the
aforementioned properties. The motion passed unanimously.

Historic City of Jefferson will have a salvage sale the first weekend in May. The Historic City of Jefferson
is once again sponsoring the high school art competition in association with sketch day. Signs will be
displayed recognizing historic homes that have previously been awarded a landmark designation.
Ms. Senzee explained that Historic Preservation Month will be carried into the first week of June to
coincide with the State Historic Preservation Conference being held in Jefferson City.
Ms. Deetz explained that activities being scheduled during that week include: (1) historic home tours
in the Capitol Avenue and High Street area; (2) trolley tours around Old Munichburg, Lincoln University
and the east side; (3) tours of area Churches to include Quinn Chapel AME Church; St Peters Catholic
Church; Temple Beth-El; and other places of worship.
New Business
A. Gregory Stockard Award
Ms. Senzee explained that a vote is needed for the Historic Preservation Commission to either
continue or discontinue offering the Gregory Stockard Award and allow the Historic City of Jefferson to
take it over.
Ms. Deetz explained that the Historic City of Jefferson Board of Directors voted to not take over the
Stockard Award this year, however they did vote to take it back next year. The Historic City of Jefferson is
restructuring their activities for next year’s Historic Preservation Month, which the Gregory Stockard
Award will be a part of.
Mr. Wheat moved and Mr. Hoffman seconded for the Historic Preservation Commission to retain the
Gregory Stockard Award this year prior to giving it back to the Historic City of Jefferson. The motion
