Other Business A. Preservation Month Activities City Staff started a new Facebook page – Jefferson City Historic Preservation Commission due to the fact that we were unable to gain control of the other Facebook page. Dawn is posting every day in honor of Historic Preservation Month. May is Bike Month and Historic Preservation Month. Neighborhood Services, Parks and David Bange have worked together to organize a Jefferson City Historic Bike Tour along the Moreau and Green Berry Neighborhoods. It will be a gradual grade with most of the stops being on the uphill grade. Rachel outlined the stops for the commission. The tour begins at 109 Madison, goes out to Green Berry Road and loops back to Madison. Rachel asked if anyone is interested in speaking at the stops on the Bike Tour. Dr. Boston said she would speak at the Green Berry locations. Dawn asked the other Commissioners to let her know if they would like to speak. The bike tour will be held on May 30, 2023 at 6:00 pm and will start at 109 Madison St. B. MSP Updates The city released Chesterfield Hotels as the master developer of MSP. So, we no longer have a beneficiary for the EDA grant that is funding the infrastructure. City staff are meeting with the EDA on 5/10/2023 to look at the scope of the project. The concept is shifting and the beneficiary may be able to take the jobs created through the construction of the One Health Lab and the Primary Care Association. If we do that, then it will change the look of what was originally planned within the EDA grant, so I do not have a whole lot to share until we find out more information tomorrow. We assume that the Chestnut Street build out will still be in that scope, but I am not sure about the Street A. We were also notified that we received the Community Revitalization Grant for $2.1 million dollars and that grant is supposed to go towards the demolition of Housing Unit 5, the saddletree factory, the corridor that connects housing unit 1 to Housing unit 5 as well as the wall, though the wall, there are whole discussions specifically about the wall. We have put a pin in our programmatic agreement document. Dr. Boston asked how long we can keep the grant? This specific grant is tied to job creation. They like the project EDA is trying to shift lanes with the City of Jefferson. MSP is in a transition phase. 408 Lafayette The next thing is 408 Lafayette. This structure is on the agenda for the Public Works and Planning meeting on Thursday. The City put out a demolition proposal. The Parks Department owns two properties, one on School St., and one on Lafayette. Council could “do nothing” but the area would slowly blight if property owners are unable to maintain their properties. There was some discussion about how it ended up in the floodplain. It was determined that it was in the floodplain when the historic district was formed. A historic district that is recognized by the national register gets to ignore regulations. The misunderstanding was that forming this local historic district would be recognized by FEMA and be able to disregard the 50% investment requirement. By the time it was figured out that the would not work, this project was going full steam ahead and it ended up being put into place. It did not apply because it is a local historic district and not nationally recognized. If the demolition happens, the area would become a green space. Rachel stated that no action is needed at this time. She was just sharing the information. There was some discussion about what will happen with this area when all the properties are gone. This discussion included 1) a community garden or, 2) a Historic Legacy District. They discussed what to include in the Legacy District. After discussion, the commission decided to explore this issue and address it formally at a later date. Rachel advised the commission members to attend the meeting on Thursday morning to hear the information and know the outcome. Design Guidelines – H3 Studio H3 Studio has been chosen as the consultant for the Design Guidelines. They will produce a beautiful, user friendly document that will help people restore, rehab, preserve, additions and new construction. All of the things needed in providing a guide for updates in historic districts. They will also update our current design standards for some of our historic districts. These guidelines will be finished by October/November. I am also going to finish updating the code document so it can be out at the same time. We had a kick off meeting two weeks ago and they plan on coming to an HPC meeting and doing a presentation on what they are planning and getting feedback from the members of HPC. Lower Jefferson Survey – Stantec Stantec was chosen to do the Lower Jefferson Survey. That is the phase two along West Main that includes the waterworks at Fulkerson. Stantec will also come in and be doing a kick off. Public Comment Matt Holland addressed the commission. On East McCarty, 622 has been declared dangerous. It is the one that was stopped by the Commission because they wanted to put a red metal roof on it. Mr. Holland is now the owner of that and he is trying to save the property. His plan is to save it, not demolish it. He wanted to come before the committee and find out what to do and what is allowed. Dates to Remember The next Regular Meeting is Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. Adjournment Dr. Greene made a motion to adjourn and Ms. Patterson seconded to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously. Demolition Application. Application for demolition of one ancillary structure located at 215 West Atchison Street (garage).
