<br /> <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />May 12, 2016 Study Session Summary <br />(Approved 6-16-16) <br /> <br />The Historic Preservation Commission held a study session at the Heman Park Community Center <br />located at 975 Pennsylvania Avenue, University City, Missouri on Thursday May 12, 2016. The <br />meeting commenced at 3:30 pm. <br /> <br />Voting Members Present Voting Members Absent <br />Donna Marin (Chairperson) Bill Chilton <br />Esley Hamilton (Vice-Chairperson) Mark Critchfield <br />Richard Wesenberg <br />Non-Voting Council Liaison Absent <br />Sandy Jacobson <br /> Rod Jennings <br /> <br />Staff Present <br />Andrea Riganti, Director of Community Development <br />Zach Greatens, Planner <br /> <br />Discussion Proposition H overview of implications; Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) <br />role and responsibilities <br /> <br />Questions / Comments and Discussion <br /> <br /> <br />-A committee should be formed to study and analyze the potential use of the Annex and Old <br />Library. <br /> <br />-What role should HPC play in this committee? Who else should be involved? <br /> <br />-Council should be consulted on this matter for further direction. Perhaps 2 to 3 HPC members <br />could discuss with Council at an informal meeting. Eventually, a joint study session between <br />Council and HPC should be held. <br /> <br />-Discussion over possible uses for the Annex and Old Library occurred. All agreed it should be <br />public space, with possibilities including museum space for Historic Preservation Society, <br />office space for community groups such as U City in Bloom, Chamber, etc., meeting space for <br />Boards and Commissions, entrepreneurial space, venue space for special events, etc. <br /> <br />-Input from the public will be critical in this process. How the public is involved is yet to be <br />determined. The Commission could make suggestions. <br /> <br />Next steps HPC members should put together their ideas regarding formation of a committee <br />as well as potential uses for the buildings and email those ideas to staff. A suggested timeline <br />for the committee formation through completion, with critical steps included, should also be <br />developed. <br /> <br />HPC members and staff discussed the potential for another study session that could be held on <br />Thursday May 26. Staff asked HPC members present to follow up with a time and date that <br />would work if May 26 is not feasible. <br /> <br />The study session adjourned at 4:30 pm. <br />tğŭĻ Њ ƚŅ Њ <br />
