e e - Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 February 26, 1986 Chairman Hamilton noted that it was quite an accomplishment that the plan was completed and it would be a useful document to consult in the future as it was written. Mr. McCauley moved that the Commission endorse the University City Civic Plaza Master Plan as presented to the Plan Commission for its review by the Historic Preservation Commission. Ms Cook seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. Chairman Hamilton asked Historic Preservation Commission members why the Hanley Junior High School had not been designated a local historic district. Ms. Litle responded that when the property went on the market in the spring of 1983, the Historic Preservation Commission looked into various ways to protect the structure when the property was sold. Ms. Little continued by saying that since the Office of Historic Sites and Preservation of St. Louis County filed the application for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places, the Historic Preservation Commission felt that there was no real need for local designation. Plan Commission members strongly suggested local district designation for the school.
