The Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council board meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. on April 1, 1991. Present: Directors M. Fleener, C. Forslund, G. Fox, G. Genung. G. Hayes, R. Johnson, B. Mahon, S. Polk, R. Roncal, S. Stein, A. Tanner and A. Webb; Executive Director N. Farmer; Guests C. Homan, V. Lindwedel and Ald. D. McGuire. Association/committee reports Nina Place Stein reported that another condo in the DeBaliviere Place West development is under contract; Westminster should begin work on additional units in the area soon. Parkview Fleener and Genung reported that Farmer and Lynne Hayden, an Agent responsible for security in the subdivision, met with students at Washington University who are planning the annual Thurtene Carnival.
The carnival will operate Sat. and Sun.. 4/20 and 4/21, 11 a.m.-8 p.m.. the same schedule as last year. Thurtene traditionally had opened on Friday night and stayed open until 9 p.m. on Saturday night; the reduced hours that were initiated last year solved nearly all of the problems that Parkview had experienced with the event. Rosedale Neighborhood Association Roncal reported that RNA will have a pot-luck dinner meeting on April 11 at St. Roch school cafeteria.
The agenda includes election of officers and a presentation by the new commander of 7th District Police. Capt. Wayne Brocato. Historic District Review committee Farmer wrote a letter on behalf of this committee and the SDCC’s Commercial district planning committee with regard to an application for demolition at 5731- 39 Delmar.
The letter requested that the Heritage Commission defer any action until the committees and the neighborhood had a chance to review plans.
The applicant wants to tear down the westernmost storefront, convert that property to a parking lot and move the building’s entrance to the west side of the building, off of the parking lot.
The plans both for the design and for use were not available before Thursday.
The existing business is a package liquor store and there was concern that expansion of that use would be detrimental to the commercial strip and surrounding area. Commercial District Planning Committee Stein reported that chairman JoAnn Vatcha had called two meetings in the last month. Membership has been reviewed and new members from north of Delmar as well as business operators have been recruited.
This committee is revising and updating its report for the Neighborhood Plan, taking advantage of research and ideas generated in the AIA’s design charrette “Delmar Link: Edges and Connections” held last October. Skinker DeBaliviere Community Housing Corporation Farmer reported that SDCHC has adopted a final draft of its one year Interim Housing Strategy.
The Housing corp. will concentrate its efforts on 6000 Washington, the Rosedale Square Apartments and 6025 Westminster.
The goals are to redevelop SDCHC’s two vacant properties at 6029 Washington and 6025 Westminster, to convert 6048 Washington from a four family to a two, and to convert the north end of 500 Rosedale to a parking lot. SDCHC is concerned with the non-conforming uses at 521 and 532 Des Peres (laundromat and ranchettes) and is investigating ways to improve these problem properties.
The transfer of 10 financially distressed neighborhood properties to the newly established quasi-governmental agency, Technical Assistance Corporation, was finally completed this month.
The SDCHC acquired 520 Rosedale as part of the transfer.
The TAC owned properties will be managed by McCormack-Barron. Director’s report Blitz Day Operation Brightsides annual spring clean-up day is scheduled Saturday, May 4 in Skinker DeBaliviere. SDCC will be Area Headquarters, Farmer and Sam Green will be Area Commanders. Tools, bags and flowers, marigolds and periwinkles, will be available. Lucky Thai Restaurant Pat, the owner of 6170 Delmar, appeared at last month’s meeting to ask for SDCC’s support in getting a variance and a liquor license for a restaurant he intends to open there, Lucky Thai.
He was granted a variance following a hearing before the Board of Adjustment March 6.
The hearing for his liquor license is this Friday, April 5. Modular Housing Developer Martin Jaffe is still working with the city’s Community Development Agency on a plan to develop the site at 441 Laurel with five attached townhouse units of modular construction.
There have been a number of hold-ups on this project; the most immediate is an acceptable design for the facade. Farmer has attended two meetings where these designs have been reviewed. Jaffe will likely request a review by the SDCC in the next couple of months. 7th District Police activity A suspect in numerous cases of gutter theft in our area has been arrested and at least 10 warrants issued.
The thefts were reported and investigations started last summer. Much credit goes to neighbors Rick and Joan Bender who worked with the police on this case and identified the suspect. 25th Anniversary reception The reception was well attended and a great success. Thanks to Alderman McGuire, the SDCC was presented with a Proclamation from the Mayor’s office by Lois Schoemehl.
