the present owner was required to apply for local Landmark designation for the building. The owner
applied for designation on June 3, 2003 and the case was presented to the Landmarks Commission
on July 9, 2003.At that meeting the Landmarks Commission recommended that the South Omaha
City Hall be designated a Landmark and forwarded the proposal to you for consideration as to
Master Plan conformance.
The South Omaha City Hall is also listed in the National Register of Historic Places as a
contributing property in the South Omaha Main Street Historic District. This is an area where the
planning department encourages historic preservation and has participated in many historic
rehabilitations since the early 1980's.The preservation element of the Master Plan shows the South
Omaha main street area as an historic district.Therefore the department clearly fords this request for
local Landmark designation to be in conformance with the Master Plan.

LOCAL LANDMARKS DESIGNATION:
Case No. H1-03-11 REQUEST: Approval of a Local Landmarks
Bob Pelshaw Designation
Property Ventures, LLC LOCATION: 5002 S. 24 Street (South Omaha
4923 S. 24 St. City Hall)
Omaha, NE 68107
(1-008)
At the Landmarks Heritage Preservation Commission meeting held on July 9, 2003, Mr. Lynn
Meyer, Administrator, presented the request.
Mr. Meyer stated that this request is for designation of the South Omaha City Hall. He stated
that this building is important to the history of south Omaha as well as the city of Omaha. This
is a National Register Historic District. Mr. Meyer stated that the designation is a part of the
agreement that the City made when the building was sold to this owner. He stated that this is a
good example of neo-classical architecture. The architect for the South Omaha City Hall was
John Latenser. Mr. Meyer stated that he felt Mr. Latenser designed the finest classical inspired
buildings in the city. He stated that the designation includes the police station that is attached to
the building. Mr. Meyer stated that the upper portion of the building is more mannerist or a more
exaggerated stylized classical. The building was built in 1906. Mr. Meyer stated that he felt this
building qualifies and meets the criteria for designation of a local landmark.
Mr. Macchietto questioned the condition of the interior of the building. Mr. Jim Krance, City
Planner, stated that the interior still has very high integrity. There is still some marble base
boards and an original iron stairway in the back of the building and a lot of the woodwork in the
hallways is still intact, but painted over. He stated that the owner is maintaining the original
window heights.
Mr. Sam Murante, representing the owner, stated that the building currently is approximately
70% occupied with offices. The agreement with the City is that this building would remain as an
office building and no retail space. He stated that they did not reconfigure the hallways.
Mr. Ketterson moved to APPROVE the request for a local landmark designation of the South
Omaha City Hall located at 5002 S. 24 Street. Mr. Macchietto seconded the motion.
AYES: Ketterson, Pixley, O'Donnell, Quinn, Macchietto, Drain, Bisson, Bowen, Magee
