Preservation Board Has Full Agenda for January 2006
The January 23, 2006 meeting of St. Louis’ Preservation Board will be a long one with two appeals of staff denials, four National Register nominations and ten preliminary reviews. One project not on the list is St. Aloysius.
I’m glad St. Aloysius is not on the January agenda but it has me worried that Alderman Vollmer will go the legislative route to destroy the spectacular urban setting rather than face the Preservation Board again. In short, if the buildings don’t qualify under the city’s 1999 ordinance to be issued a demolition permit then we shouldn’t allow a sneaky back-room deal, rubber stamped by 27 other so-called legislators, to make it happen.
The January meeting should be interesting, diverse and very long…

Yikes.
“Yikes” for a busy evening, or “yikes” for a likely aldermanic circumvention of preservation review?
The former.
These might help:
Wear comfortable clothing.
Drink plenty of fluids.
Take a nap beforehand.
Determine how you are going to vote beforehand. (Saves time!)
