Demolition Review (Under 100 Years Old)- 605 Dix Road
A. 605 Dix Road
Ms. Senzee gave an overview of the staff report and explained the purpose of the request is to
demolish a single-family residence located at 605 Dix Road. The structure was built in 1958 and
is owned by the MoDOT and Patrol Employees’ Retirement System. The plan is for the lot to
add additional parking for employees. Ms. Senzee explained the property does not hold
sufficient historical significance. Ms. Senzee explained that staff recommends approval of the
demolition review application of 605 Dix Road.
Mr. Berendzen motioned and Ms. Jones seconded to approve the demolition review application
for 605 Dix Road. The motion passed unanimously.
Dangerous Building Demolitions
A. 1103 Buena Vista Street, 3307 N. Ten Mile Drive, and 2338 St. Louis Road.
Ms. Senzee explained that three properties are being bid out for demolition. The three
properties have gone through the dangerous building process. The Jefferson City Housing
Authority is in the process of demolishing 1103 Buena Vista due to the structure sliding down
the hill and being structurally dangerous. 2338 St. Louis Road was declared dangerous because
of a fire burn.
New Business
A. Section 106 Review-1205 Bald Hill Road
Ms. Senzee explained that the Section 106 Review is for a Community Development Block
Grant applicant. The applicant has applied for emergency repair assistance to replace her
HVAC system. Since the repair will use federal dollars, a Section 106 Review must be
completed. Ms. Senzee explained that the repairs will have little alteration to the structure itself.
Ms. Senzee explained that the Historic Preservation Commission must review and determine
the potential impact on historic resources.
Mr. Berendzen motioned and Ms. Jones seconded to approve that adequate documentation has
been provided and there will be no historic properties affected by the project and is approved by
the commission. The motion passed unanimously.
