According to MidMOGIS, the structure was constructed in 1925. The area is zoned C-2 Commercial. 2 Mr. Berendzen moved and Dr. Greene seconded to approve of the demolition review application for 211 E. Cedar Way. The motion passed unanimously. New Business A. March 8, 2022, Special Meeting Minutes Ms. Senzee explained that the special meeting minutes from the March 8, 2022 HPC meeting were never approved. Ms. Senzee stated that city staff discovered this while putting together the Annual CLG Report. Mr. Wheat moved and Mr. Berendzen seconded to approve the March 8, 2022, Special Meeting minutes. The motion passed unanimously. B. Historic Legacy District Application-Public Hearing Ms. Senzee stated that the Department of Planning and Protective Services received an application for the nomination of a Historic Legacy District. Glover Brown was the applicant for the Lafayette Street and the Historic Foot District. Ms. Senzee first began by reading through the process of the ordinance to remind commissioners of the process of nominating a Historic Legacy District. Ms. Senzee then read through the public hearing format. Ms. Deetz opened the public hearing. Mr. Glover Brown gave his testimony and spoke in favor of the nomination of the Historic Legacy District. In summary, Mr. Brown stated that this area was the heart of the black community prior to Urban Renewal. This area was home to businesses, restaurants, and hotels that served the community. Urban Renewal wiped out the community and many of the structures are no longer present. Mr. Brown stated he is proud of the work done to create the new Historic Legacy District category. This is a template that other cities can use to recognize black communities that were affected by Urban Renewal. Mr. Brown thanked the commissioners for their help and welcomed questions from the commissioners. Mr. Wheat asked about the boundaries of the map and why the boundaries do not extend down Lafayette Street. Mr. Brown explained that the boundaries of the map encompass what used to be the commercial part of the Foot. Mr. Brown explained that the houses on Lafayette Street were spared and were not torn down during Urban Renewal. These houses were homes to Lincoln University staff when Urban Renewal was active. The boundaries encompass the areas where commercial structures are no longer present such as the restaurants, businesses, and hotels that once stood. A Sanborn map was used to locate where businesses once stood because some addresses have changed over time. After a long discussion, the commission and Mr. Brown determined that the boundaries of the proposed Historic Legacy District should be amended to include only the 400, 500, and 600 blocks of Lafayette Street and the 600 block of Dunklin Street (corner of E. Dunklin Street and Lafayette Street that is currently 708 Lafayette Street). The boundary map will be updated to reflect these changes before it goes to City Council. 3 Mr. Berendzen motioned and Dr. Boston seconded to recommend approval of the application to the City Council with the provision that city staff will amend the boundary map and make corrections to the addresses in accordance with the Sanborn Map. The motion passed unanimously. C. Annual CLG Report Ms. Senzee stated that the Annual CLG Report is due November 30th. Ms. Senzee gave an overview of the report and stated that it is a document that highlights notable accomplishments and activities of the Historic Preservation Commission. Other Business A. Paul Bruhn Revitalization Grant Program Ms. Senzee stated the Grant Administration Workshop for the Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant Program was held on October 27th, 2022 with the grant recipients. Ms. Senzee asked if any commissioners would be interested in helping identify character-defining elements of the properties, both interior, and exterior. These elements will be incorporated into the Conservation Easements that each property owner has to sign. Commissioners were interested in attending the site visits. Ms. Senzee stated city staff will begin scheduling site visits and will notify commissioners so they may attend if they choose to. Ms. Senzee explained that the HPC may also participate in the design review phase of the grant process. B. Missouri State Penitentiary Update Ms. Senzee explained that there is a grant the City is applying for the redevelopment of MSP. Ms. Senzee explained that the redevelopment is a phased approach. The first phase is the development of the hotel, and conference center, and the State is working on a One Health Lab. Ms. Senzee stated that the former Saddletree Factory will be demolished for the hotel development. Housing Unit 5 (City-owned), the corridor that connects the Administration Building to Housing Unit 5, and the Saddletree Factory are also planned for demolition. The MSP Masterplan calls for the demolition of a significant amount of the prison wall. Ms. Senzee stated that the demolition of the wall is still questionable. Ms. Senzee stated that the Wall is owned by the State. Ms. Senzee stated that there is a group that has been working on a document that will detail how cultural resources will be treated at MSP. The document highlight terms of mitigation due to the loss of cultural resources. Ms. Williams asked what the role of the HPC is in this process. Ms. Senzee stated that the draft document can be passed through and reviewed by the HPC for input. Ms. Williams stated that consulting and interested parties get together and propose different mitigation options. Ms. Williams asked what is the HPC’s role in proposing mitigation options. Ms. Williams stated that she has mitigation options in mind for this project. Ms. Williams asked if the HPC could submit a list of mitigation options that the City could present to the group. Ms. Senzee stated that it would be possible to do so. Ms.Senzee stated that the City is working on the Developer’s Agreement. Ms. Senzee said construction costs have increased by 34% since June 2021. The Developers Agreement has not been finalized due to the increased costs and the uncertainty when running the numbers. The Developer is still interested and committed, but there is just a delay. It is anticipated that 4 infrastructure projects will start in the Spring of 2023 however it may be impacted by the construction of the State’s One Health Lab. Ms. Senzee explained that there is a funding opportunity through the Missouri Department of Economic Development. The grant is the Community Revitalization Grant and it requires letters of support from community stakeholders. Ms. Senzee explained that if awarded, this grant would fund the demolition costs of the Saddletree Factory, the corridor that connects the Administration Building and Housing Unit 5, sections of the wall, construction of a fence to secure the historic core, and utilize funds to rehabilitate and stabilize the structures on the historic core. Ms. Senzee stated the application requires letters of support from community stakeholders. Ms. Senzee asked the HPC if they would be willing to submit a letter. A draft letter was handed out to the commissioners. Mr. Wheat motioned and Mr. Berendzen seconded to approve the letter as amended to read, “…sections of the wall, as necessary,…”. The motion passed unanimously. Ms. Senzee stated there is another grant opportunity for MSP. The City will be applying for a Local Tourism Asset Development Grant through the Missouri Department of Economic Development in the amount of $2.5 million to help alleviate the $7 million financing gap that the developers are currently facing.
