Planning & Zoning works on historic district; park updates and two businesses prepare openings
Summary
Planning & Zoning reported progress on a historic district ordinance; the city engineer updated aldermen on work at Gerald City Park, and the city inspector reported two local businesses preparing openings and soft openings.
Planning & Zoning representative Linda Trest told the Gerald Board of Aldermen on Dec. 12 that the commission is working on a historical district ordinance and consulted with the City Administrator in Hermann, which is currently rewriting its ordinance.
City Engineer Terris Cates provided an update on work at Gerald City Park and said he would coordinate further updates and questions with City Administrator Nick Grube. The minutes do not specify the scope, timeline or budget for the park work.
City Inspector Phil Pilgram reported that Thacker Mini Pub is open and doing well. He also said a Mexican restaurant had been inspected and planned a soft opening for Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024.
Mayor Angela Koepke relayed Planning & Zoning's concerns about portable buildings and residences lacking utility or water tap connections, including campers used as dwellings, and said those matters should be brought to the Board's attention so they can be addressed at City Council meetings rather than left solely to the Planning & Zoning commission.
What happens next: Planning & Zoning will continue work on the historical district ordinance and staff will follow up with additional details about the park project; dates and funding sources were not specified in the minutes.
