Demolition Review for ancillary structure at 215 W. Atchison St.
Staff received an application for demolition for the ancillary structure (garage) located at 215 Atchison St. Rachel
gave the complete staff report on this structure, complete with photographs of the property and the necessary
photos and a letter of abatement from Code Enforcement.
It is staff recommendation that the commission approve the application for demolition permit for the ancillary
structure (garage) located at 215 Atchison St. The property owners agreed with the assessment that it was built
in the 1940’s. They stated that they thought without the Schmidt House, this would not be a historical property.
They also stated that there is nothing for historical salvage in the structure.
Ms. Deetz made a motion to approve the application and Dr. Boston seconded the motion.
Ms. Senzee took a roll call vote.

Other Business
A. Jefferson City Historical Bike Ride – Rachel expressed her gratitude to everyone that was there to assist.
Special thanks to Dr. Boston for her description of the Greenberry properties and to Ms. Deetz for opening
up the carriage house at the cemetery. It was a success overall. We had approximately 40 riders show up. It
was a great event to wrap up Preservation Month.
B. MSP Updates
City Staff have gone back to the drawing board regarding this project, since the hotel developer was not able
to make the hotel happen. Our Economic Development Administration grant stated that the hotel developer
was a jobless beneficiary so they would bring jobs to the table and that was one of the reasons we were able
to get the grant. They agreed to work with us to use jobs from One Health Lab and the Primary Care
Association which are being developed in that area. We did receive about 21 jobs from the state Health Lab
and we continue to work with the Primary Care Association on jobs they will be creating. Staff are working
on the programmatic agreement with EDA, SHPO, DNR and Missouri Department of Administration to
finalize this agreement.
Staff are hoping to have a Public engagement meeting to review this project in either July or August. Rachel
is hoping that HPC can host this meeting.
C. Missouri Preservation Conference Recap
Last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Rachel attended a conference put on by the Missouri Preservation
Commission in Joplin. There was a lot of good content. If HPC members want to attend this or any other
conferences, staff will get you signed up and apply for scholarships.
D. NAPC Training
The National Alliance of Preservation Commissions (NAPC) offers a series of webinars. The next one is Best
Practices for an Effective Local Preservation Commission. This is June 29, 2023 from 12:00 – 1:30 Central
Standard time. If members are interested, the city is an APC member and will also be willing to sign you up
as APC members as well. Please tell Dawn or send an e-mail if you would like to attend and we will get you
signed up.
E. Design Guidelines – H3 Studio
A kickoff meeting was held with the consultant of this project. A meeting with SHPO still has to be arranged
to ensure they get the Milestones put online.
F. Lower Jefferson Survey – Stantec
Phase Two of this project has begun. We had a kickoff meeting with Stantec and SHPO. We are working with
them to coordinate with them so they can attend a Historic Preservation Commission Meeting to give you
an overview of their plans for the project and the opportunity to ask questions.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
In reviewing Section 8-44 C, Criteria for Nomination (as outlined above), and the structure does not appear to hold sufficient
historical significance in terms of heritage, cultural or architecturally. 901 Jefferson Street was constructed in 1889 and utilized as a
business establishment. 901 Jefferson was formerly Ahrens-Graessle Grocery which offered general merchandise, feed, and flour
(Historic Southside Architectural Survey). The property was last utilized as a scuba shop.
The Southside/Old Munichburg Neighborhood Plan indicates that the land use is for residential single family and that this building
should remain.
Current zoning of this area is C-2 Commercial.
The building has been declared dangerous due to a fire burn.
FORM OF MOTION
Motion that the Demolition Clearance Application for 901 Jefferson Street is recommended for approval by this commission.
