. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 6 January 28, 1987 Ms. Cook moved that the Plan Commission approve the preliminary plat for 7417 Delmar Boulevard into condominiums. Mr. Washington seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 6-0. ELECTION OF OFFICERS OF THE PLAN COMMISSION Chairman Hamilton stated that according to the bylaws of the Plan Commission, officers should be elected at the first meeting of the year. The Commission needed to elect a chairman and vice chairman. Mr. McCauley moved that the Plan Commission elect to keep the same officers as they had elected for 1986 with Esley Hamilton for the office of Chairman and Mary Schuman for the office of Vice Chairman. Mr. Rice seconded the motion which was passed unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS Mr. Goldman stated, for Commission member's information, that Michael Kennedy had been seriously injured in a skiing accident and would not be able to attend Plan Commission meetings for the next couple of months. Chairman Hamilton stated that Plan Commission members should know that the tax credit for Historic Preservation would not be phased out in 1987, but it would be reduced from a 25 percent credit to a 20 percent credit in 1987. He also stated that there would be a change in the age of buildings which could qualify for the tax credit. A building would have to be 50 years old rather than 40 years old for the tax credit to apply. Chairman Hamilton stated that he was pleased to see that the majority of Plan Commission members would attend the Plan Commissioner's Workshop sponsored by the St. Louis Metropolitan Section of the APA on Thursday, January 29, 1987. He stated that these were valuable training sessions for members. Chairman Hamilton inquired about the concerns expressed by audience members earlier in the meeting about the new house at 7805 Lafon Avenue. He remembered that the Plan Commission had reviewed the proposal for subdivision of the property at 7801 Lafon and had specifically asked about the topography of the site. Mr. Goldman stated that the issue of conformity with the height standards of that neighborhood had been overlooked in the plan review for the building permit. Chairman Hamilton asked why ATEC Liquidations, Inc. had not presented their landscaping plan for their Conditional Use permit application. Mr. Goldman stated that he had received the information from Mr. Lerman and Mr. Fanchi too late for the plans to be included on tonight's agenda; also, the plan was inadequate for review. ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:57 p.m.
