City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Regular Meeting — February 15, 2023 Council Chambers —John G. Christy Municipal Building 320 E. McCarty Street/Virtual WebEx Meeting Commission Members Present Attendance Record Alan Wheat, Chair 2 of 2 Dr. Debra Foster Greene, Vice Chair 2 of 2 Tiffany Patterson 2 of 2 Brad Schaefer 2 of 2 Dr. Christine Boston 1 of 2 Commission Members Absent Amanda Burke Williams Donna Deetz Ctaff Pra<ant Rachel Senzee, Neighborhood Services Supervisor Dawn Kirchner, Neighborhood Services Specialist Guests Present Brad Schlup Call to Order Mr. Wheat called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. 1of2 loft Adoption of Agenda Ms. Patterson moved and Dr. Boston seconded to adopt the agenda as printed, The motion passed unanimously. Approval of Regular Meeting Minutes Ms. Patterson moved and Dr. Greene seconded to approve the minutes from January 10, 2023 regular meeting as written. The motion passed unanimously. Old Business Mr. Wheat verified that there is no old business to be covered. New Business Back Porch Design — 407 Lafayette Street Rachel outlined the permit amendment request for a back porch/pergola addition to 407 Lafayette Street. The original permit was for a front porch. This amendment is for the back porch/pergola. The School Street Local Historic guidelines apply only to the exterior changes of the house. The back porch will be built with treated lumber. At the time of this amendment, there is no existing porch in the back, so we do not know if there was ever a porch. This would be considered a new addition. Back porches on American Foursquare generally included a full covered porch. Pergolas are not generally not considered consistent with this architectural style, however the overall sitelines are compatible. Staff recommends approval of this permit 1 amendment for the back porch addition for 407 Lafayette Street. Ms. Patterson stated that the back porch would not be visible. Dr. Greene asked if the neighboring Foursquares had porches? The applicant, Mr. Brad Schlup was called upon by the commissioners to speak to them regarding this addition. He explained that the neighboring foursquares have porches. It looks like there was a porch all the way across the back of his house at one time. There is nothing there at this time. He stated that he will build it to match the house, with a slight pitch to it and design at the end. Ms. Patterson moved to approve the proposed porch amendment for 407 Lafayette Street. Mr Schaefer seconded. There was no further discussion. Mr. Wheat asked for a roll call vote: Dr. Greene: Aye Mr. Schaefer: Aye Ms. Patterson: Aye Mr. Wheat: Aye Dr. Boston: Aye The motion was passed unanimously. Other Business A. Preservation Month Activities Ms. Senzee reminded commissioners that May is preservation month. She asked commissioners to begin thinking about preservation activities. The commissioners discussed posting historical posts to Facebook like last year. Rachel explained that this activity was popular. Another idea is to combine a bike ride with a historic tour of Jefferson City. The group discussed pursuing the historic bike tour. They discussed possible routes and it was mentioned that they should engage David Bange, city engineer, to help plan the route. Mr. Bange is an avid bicyclist and rides a lot in Jefferson City. He would be a good person to help with the route. Last year, the commission members came up with the historic posts and Karlie posted them to Facebook every day. There are a lot of changes happening and these changes could be posted. Dawn is working with Karlie to get the Facebook page updated. Dr. Boston asked for the content of a FB post. Rachel explained that these posts were just general posts, photos and links. Rachel said she could pull them up and send them to her. Rachel asked that Commissioners get their posts in by April 15, B. E. Capitol Avenue Update The city owns two properties, 413 and 419 E. Capitol outright. The city sent out an RFP. Those were awarded to Kampeter Remodeling. They will begin the restoration activities as soon as their contract is underway. There are three others that are still owned by Barbara Buescher. The city received earnest monies from individuals to give them the rights to bid on these properties, if the city gets the properties and can put them out for bid. The earnest money was a placeholder 2 saying that if the city attains the properties through a condemnation process through the courts, those people would bid on rehabilitation of the properties. This was a way to ensure a commitment on 401, 429 E. Capitol and 113 Adams. All of the properties, with these exceptions are being demolished. Next steps include looking at infill to redevelop the lots that are left. C. Historic Preservation Code Revision Update The original plan from the Code Revision Committee was to get the Code formatted and sent out. Ms. Senzee explained that as they were going through the review process, Eric Barron, City Planner, brought forth some issues with the design review process being appealed to the Board of Adjustment. Nobody makes an appeal to the Board of Adjustment, because it is not requesting a variance, it is appealing a process. So, it was determined that in leiu of sending appeals to the Board of Adjustment, appeals would be sent to the City Council. The applicant would also have the ability to appeal to the City Council through the Circuit Court. That is how other communities, the state of Georgia, and the State of Iowa do it. We had to change that component and the draft is currently being reviewed by legal. Once legal is finished with it, we will contact the chair and make sure everyone gets a copy and put it out for public comment. That one piece has been the hang up as far as the code goes. D. Landmark Awards The City received an application for a Landmark award. It was not received in time to process before this meeting and they used an old application so there were some gaps in the application that need to be clarified. The application is for 1431 Greenberry Road, the Dewey House. It is in the Frank Miller National Register District that was recently approved. We will process the application, informing them that we are in the middle of the Code Revision and may have to come back and work with them again for the sake of transparency. No action is required at this time, but we wanted to make you aware. E. Missouri State Penitentiary Update Ms. Senzee stated that there isn't a big update for MSP. She stated that conversaticns have begun on what the City would like to see out of the site. These meetings will include the Office of Administration, Facilities Management Design and Construction, and the Department of Natural Resources. Ms. Senzee stated there is a redevelopment plan for the site, but there isn't a conceptual development plan for the preservation of the historic core. Public Comment No public comments were received. Dates to Remember The next Regular Meeting is Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. Adjournment Ms. Patterson moved and Dr. Greene seconded to adjourn the meeting at 6:30 p.m. The motion passed unanimously. 3 City of Jefferson Historic Preservation Commission Application for Nomination Landmark Designation Award We invite you to nominate your building/structure to be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and designated as a local Landmark.

The circular terrace and concrete pad with basketball hoop are more recent and are not Included in the resource count as they are minor landscape features (Figure 4). The lot is mostly open with a number of large trees, becoming wooded north of the garage (Figures 3 and 4). 1431 Green Berry Road-- Charles E. and Ann E. Dewey House (3 Contributing) c. 1908 Architectural Style: Bungalow Roof Material: Asphalt Shingle Ext. wall cladding: native stone Foundation material: native stone Roof Type: Side Gabled The Dewey House at 1431 Green Berry Road is located off -center to the north side of its lot, facing the same direction as the neighboring McHenry House (Figure 4, Photos 1 and 2). The house is a two -and -a -half -story stone Bungalow with a steeply pitched side gable roof and three bays, featuring three hipped roof dormers with low knee walls at the outer comer of each window and 12f1 original windows with white metal storms (Photo 8). A full front porch with stone half walls is covered by the gabled roof and supported by square stone piers, framing the central original single pane wood door,,Mth storm, multi -pane side lights and multi -pane transom. Two large historic 1811 windows with thick stone lintels flank the entry. All windows, doors and transoms on the front and south side are original, with modern storms. Stone chimneys on either side are flush with the exterior stone walls and rise through the roof (Photo 2). The dormers and side wails above the first floor's stone walls are covered with vinyl siding. Behind the house is a former dairy barn with frame walls covered in a roll siding material, grey in color and marked in a faux coursed stone pattern (Photo 9). The barn's gambrel roof is covered by historic corrugated metal sheeting, which exhibits rust on over half of the roof, The lower edge of the roof is flared outward. An earthen ramp provides at grade access to the three doors on the west wall facing the house, including two large bays, the size of garage doors or larger, with a single entry to the north near the center of the wall. A small wooden shed is located behind and south of the house (Photo 10). Clad in historic narrow wood siding painted brick red, the corners, eaves, windows and doors are trimmed in flat wood boards painted a bright yellow, The roof is rusty corrugated metal. The door is on the north side, with gable ends located on the north and south walls. A historic sidewalk extends from the center of the house's front porch to the road (Figures 3 and 4). From the southern boundary, a driveway curves toward the house and forms a teardrop shaped loop, edged on the interior by flower beds. An open space extends from between the barn and the shed toward the rear, extending nearly to the eastern lot line, with woods on either side, A few large trees are located in the front, south side and rear yard but their limbs do not extend to the ground, leaving the yard fairly open. All of these outbuildings and landscape features were present in 196015 (Figure 5). The house, barn and frame shed are contributing resources. 15 The oldest aerial photos of the area are from 1960, available on MIdMoGIS.com. Accessed August 19, 2021. Sanborn maps do not depict this area, so the 1960 aerials have been used to assess the age of outbuildings. 16 MidMoGIS.com 1960 aerial photos. z 0,-C- 3 The 78 page National Register of Historic Places Registration Form can be found at: https:/lmostateparkscom/sites/mostateparks/files/Miller-Frank Green-Berry-Road'Historic- District,pdf 3 o,f 3 IL . *::;e a 24. in, 0 - it ANN& lmr�m�- Z, s"JONO e4-- v . ,R„ ` ice^ ��.'

Department of Energy r Washington, DC 20585 L February 14, 2023 Rachel Senzee Neighborhood Services Specialist, Historic Preservation Commission City of Jefferson City 320 East McCarty Street Jefferson City, MO 65101 SUBJECT: U.S. Department of Energy, Loan Programs Office, Proposed Federal Loan to Grain Belt Express, LLC, for the Phase 1 Grain Belt Express Transmission Line Project in Kansas and Missouri, Invitation to Consult under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act Dear Ms. Senzee, Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) implementing regulations (40 CFR 1500), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Loan Programs Office (LPO) intends to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) to consider the environmental impacts associated with potentially providing Federal financial assistance (a loan guarantee) to Grain Belt Express, LLC, for construction and energization of Phase 1 of the Grain Belt Express Transmission Line Project (Project). As part of this environmental review process, LPO is also conducting a review in compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS was published in the Federal Register on December 16, 2022, and can be found at: https://www.federaireviister.gov/documents/2022/12/16/2022-27099/notice-of-intent- to-prepare-an-environmental-impact-statement-for-the-grain-belt-express. The Project is expected to initiate construction by the end of 2024 with anticipated commercial operation in 2027. Attachment 1 depicts the route alignment in the states of Kansas and Missouri. The purpose of this letter is to invite the City of Jefferson City to be a consulting party under Section 106 of the NHPA and its implementing regulations, 36 CFR Part 800; present the LPO undertaking and the proposed area of potential effects (APE); and introduce LPO's contractor support for the NEPA and NHPA reviews of the Project. Invitation to Engage in the NHPA Section 106 Process At this time, LPO is inquiring about your interest to be a consulting party to the Section 106 review process. As a consulting party, you will be actively informed of the review process, including consultation meetings, your views will be actively sought, and you will be given opportunity to review and provide comments on plans and agreements developed as part of the Section 106 review process. LPO requests that you submit your request to be a consulting party or to not receive additional information within 30 days of receipt of this letter. Page 1 of 3 The DOE LPO is the lead Federal agency responsible for the EIS and the NHPA Section 106 process. Under the NHPA, LPO anticipates developing a Programmatic Agreement (PA) for the project. Due to the scale of the Project and the anticipated schedule for the EIS, final identification of historic properties and/or assessment of effects to historic properties may not be achieved before a decision is reached in the NEPA process. The PA would establish the process for Section 106 review of phased identification efforts which may continue after the publication of the EIS and issuance of the Record of Decision (ROD). The PA would also include potential avoidance and minimization measures to reduce adverse effects to historic properties as well as potential mitigation measures to resolve unavoidable adverse effects. LPO Undertaking and Area of Potential Effects The LPO undertaking —providing a loan to Grain Belt Express, LLC for Phase I of the Project in Kansas and Missouri —would involve constructing the Project. The Project includes: • an approximately 530 mile high -voltage direct -current (HVDC) transmission line with a terminus in Ford County, Kansas, and a terminus in Monroe County, Missouri; • two HVDC converter stations; • a 1,000-foot alternating -current (AC) transmission line from the HVDC converter station at the Ford County, Kansas terminus to an existing substation; • and an approximately 40-mile AC transmission line from the HVDC converter station at the Monroe County, Missouri terminus to an existing substation and a proposed substation, both in Callaway County, Missouri. The APE would encompass areas where Project activities financed by LPO may directly or indirectly cause alterations to the character or use of historic properties. It would consist of all areas where permanent and temporary impacts could occur, either physical or nonphysical effects. The physical APE would cover all activities in the proposed right-of-way (ROW) and would also include the footprint of areas outside the ROW used to support construction such as temporary access routes, laydown yards, tree clearing and grubbing areas, converter stations, switchyards, optical regeneration facilities, and other appurtenant facilities. The archaeological surveys are proposed to include systematic pedestrian reconnaissance and subsurface shovel testing within the physical APE. The aboveground cultural resource surveys are proposed to include reconnaissance field inventories and photography from public ROWS. Surveys will be conducted in accordance with applicable SHPO and Tribal guidelines. The nonphysical APE would encompass areas where the potential exists for the Project to cause temporary or permanent effects on historic properties through visual, atmospheric, or audible elements. The maximum extent of the nonphysical APE is derived from the height of the proposed transmission structures as they could be visible beyond the limits of the ROW corridor. Early -stage Project design details indicate that all but two structures would be between 120 and 220 feet tall, with one pair of structures at the Missouri River crossing proposed to be 275 and 285 feet tall. Therefore, the nonphysical APE would include all aspects of the physical APE described above and would also extend 0.5 mile from all permanent components of the Project. In certain flat -terrain circumstances, the nonphysical APE may be extended to a longer visual distance where potential effects may extend beyond 0.5 mile. In areas with hills, viewshed modeling will be conducted, and should the modeling demonstrate that the line of sight is shorter than 0.5 mile, the nonphysical APE would be reduced to the line of sight. The aboveground cultural resource surveys are proposed to include reconnaissance field inventories and photography from public ROWS within the nonphysical APE. Page 2 of 3 Contractor NEPA and NHPA Support LPO is working with a team of contractors to develop the EIS and to facilitate our NEPA and NHPA reviews for the project. All Federal oversight and decisions will remain with LPO. AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) has been contracted by Grain Belt Express, LLC to assist LPO in preparing the EIS.
