Communication Received

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: 423 Case Avenue and 1227 Adams Street. 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.
Mr. Bemboom moved and Mr. Wheat seconded to approve the demolition review application for the
aforementioned properties. The motion passed unanimously.

Ms. Senzee explained that Historic Preservation Month will be carried into the first week of June. Due
to Covid-19, activities have been limited. Ms. Deetz said Historic City of Jefferson will be placing signs in

Other Business

compliance with state and federal regulations.
B. Cancelled – Missouri Preservation Conference
Ms. Senzee stated the conference has been postponed until 2021.
C. Status of Historic Preservation Fund Grant – Downtown/Old Munichburg Structural Survey
Ms. Senzee stated that every house in the Missouri State Capitol Historic District and the Munichburg
Community District was sent a survey. Walter P Moore will be here next week to evaluate and give
assessments on all the buildings in the district. Ms. Schantz asked Ms. Senzee to please send out a list of
all the buildings to the commission.
D. Missouri Advisory Council on Historic Preservation – National Register Nomination
Ms. Senzee told the commission that the old J.B. Bruns Shoe Company is up for a National Register
Nomination. We will receive a packet and have the opportunity to comment.
E. SHPO Training Project – Amendment to MO State Capitol Historic District
Ms. Senzee said SHPO is training a new staff member and have offered to reassess our original
1978 National Registration nomination for the MO State Capitol Historic District. We want to do this
because at the time they did them, they had to pick and choose what items were put on the register.
F. Economic Development Administration-Disaster Recovery Grant – MSP Redevelopment
Ms. Senzee asked everyone to go to the City’s website and take the survey regarding the MSP
redevelopment. She stated the EDA had funding for areas in Missouri that were impacted by a FEMA
disaster. We applied for a grant of $7.5 million which would require a Section 106 Review. She stated we
would need to look at a National Register Nomination for MSP.
