Summary

The commission approved previous meeting minutes and tabled Webster University's demolition request for Lure Library for 30 days with the public hearing remaining open; the commission then adjourned.

Key actions taken at the Aug. 11 Historic Preservation Commission meeting:

- Approval of minutes: The commission moved to approve the minutes from the previous meeting; the motion carried by voice vote and the minutes were approved as written. "Motion to approve the minutes as written," a member said, and the chair called the ayes.

- Tabling of demolition request (455 E. Lockwood Ave.): The commission voted to table the applicant's certificate-of-appropriateness request for 30 days to allow submission of additional documentation, and the public hearing was kept open. Carol Denke moved the tabling motion; a second was recorded and the motion passed by voice vote. The commission asked for a professional adaptive-reuse feasibility study and a demolition cost estimate before reconsidering the request.

- Adjournment: The commission moved and voted to adjourn with no further business on the agenda.

The applicant committed to providing the requested materials and the item will return to the commission within the 30-day period.
