County staff said the original CUP (CUP 631) from 2004 allowed topsoil extraction in a defined area and that the amendment does not change the nature of the operation, only its footprint. Staff reviewed environmental and floodplain considerations and recommended five conditions in addition to the original CUP conditions, including limits on extraction areas and setbacks shown on the concept plan, preserving the areas marked as existing trees, washing trucks before they exit the property to avoid tracking mud onto public roads, limiting hours of operation to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and requiring that the conditional use not become active until all conditions are met.

Applicant Michael Steiniger said the business has operated since 2004 and serves local landscapers and road contractors. He said the proposed expansion covers additional ground the business has farmed and uses in current operations and that he is amenable to the proposed covenant restrictions.

Arnie C. Dinoff, county public advocate, supported approval but urged strict adherence to state and county stormwater and erosion controls and recommended a reclamation or restoration plan for the site after extraction. The commission approved the amendment with the conditions recommended by staff; the conditional use will not become active until the conditions are met and required permits (including any floodplain permits) are obtained.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","St. Charles County Planning and Zoning Meeting - 6.18.25","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved a conditional‑use amendment to expand an existing topsoil extraction operation near Peru Creek Road from about 41.5 acres to 127.06 acres, subject to conditions including truck‑wash procedures, revegetation, setback limits and restricted hours of operation.","taxTitle","St. Charles County, Missouri","taxId",2594,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6189869,"Commission deadlocks on Central School Road condominium plat after neighbors raise drainage and access concerns",1920,3356000,5276000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660&start=3356&end=5276","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660/thumbnail_3356000.jpg","/articles/6189869/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Commission-deadlocks-on-Central-School-Road-condominium-plat-after-neighbors-raise-drainage-and-access-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189869-4dd35730abcbfa67e9c76a0ddc58e2cc/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175975&Signature=aVug6-bfmfzEBE-v6a9StsO2YGvexmmBH-UJrfb0~5soCQCiZhZWrScw1jUQEtyb6-sw643dG1ANx6YVFAObhrRiGvoogUnr8A~f4PHYN0hd-JPNl67a5PbVL6moREtObRA8HNWhhXtcGZYnFWh5xUw0yzYMl0ke9tJA9VA1qU7dYk64ScPZt3dMW43QKk~QXcYkvYS-7Drv400aJVW4HuO-ahG1sU782K63XbxVQZ0oFR3g43H9LWdhg70E8OqCxRDWozjxUpyXZQiB~P5lV0OELz32bI9N0b49FPmYU3uWqQ~x~hywcD~m4yl7ucRXaZtfK9wUYgrGl5dY-9yowQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission split on a preliminary plat proposing 10 condominiums on a 2.14‑acre lot at 4639 Central School Road. The motion to approve failed on a 3‑3 tie, and the commission issued a recommendation of denial to the County Council.

County staff said the parcel is zoned R‑3A and that the proposed condominium plat met the technical requirements of Chapter 4.10. Staff explained the site will be served by Missouri American Water and an extended sanitary sewer line; Colleville Fire Protection District advised that a third hydrant would be required and staff asked for a fire‑flow condition.

Neighbors and commissioners pressed the applicant on stormwater and emergency access. Robert Lively, a homeowner directly behind the site, told the commission, “That property is slightly elevated above our subdivision and water does come down from that. ... So what is the flow in the back of the subdivision that's going to be coming our direction towards our lake and our sewer system?” He said recent heavy rains had caused local flooding and he feared increased runoff.

Applicant Gary Kimball said the site’s stormwater will be collected in an on‑site storm sewer system and a centralized location at the rear of the property, and said, “No, none of our water will be getting on to them. All our water is being captured in [a] storm sewers system itself.” County public advocate Arnie C. Dinoff urged the commission to add conditions addressing public‑safety turning radii, school‑bus access and water‑quality controls, noting a Transportation Department letter requesting a minimum turning radius for school buses.

After extended discussion, the vote to approve the preliminary plat was tied; commissioners recorded opposing and supporting votes resulting in a recommendation of denial to the County Council. The council will consider the commission’s recommendation at its July 14, 2025 meeting.","A preliminary plat for 10 condominiums at 4639 Central School Road failed on a tie vote after public testimony and commissioner concerns about drainage, stormwater treatment, and fire‑apparatus turnaround; staff said the proposal met the county's technical requirements but several commissioners and neighbors urged additional conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6189873,"Commission approves preliminary plat for Lauderdale re‑subdivision, subject to council vacating undeveloped right‑of‑way",674,2681000,3355000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660&start=2681&end=3355","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660/thumbnail_2681000.jpg","/articles/6189873/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Commission-approves-preliminary-plat-for-Lauderdale-resubdivision-subject-to-council-vacating-undeveloped-rightofway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189873-174e12595c42860a80780c97fc77b976/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175975&Signature=aF7MXZe-IksbUge6bKTEHgCK3KTi1RCqPIL4WiqzNVdV9L1ubzRgcNip8pDInnY0Gsw13iJk~U2GZqr7fMlTpgXdICWj7~v~jbHFY7N7O-v6b2UJdoPkIB8IhXHaRqZUH2DouxSqWooECjvff0FK3QAWjgwBFXlBH3TVGLgiiEEt6BBZiv8~Yj-j1Fhfay7y3JXwDHMmwsNEE~FhxAancPd63GTOS-ZinQWsQWGKr1edCm-JxIVymp2Z6LqdYPGumQdpn5Sl2JGCQtcXiUAPzMsaL~c1SqT8Y3gZdEx8Ac4qCUWXWk-w-LJXjCU~v9rq0ARhkn7kxwX4e9T06kF7kg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission approved the preliminary plat for Lauderdale Re‑Subdivision (PRE25‑07) but required that the Planning and Zoning Division director not sign the final plat until the County Council vacates the undeveloped street and utility easements shown on the concept plan.

County staff said the application involves multiple landowners and mainly moves lot lines to bring two outlots on Highway DD to minimum sizes suitable for septic systems and potential future development. The proposal removes Lot 4 from Lauderdale Estates Plat 1 and expands Outlot A and Outlot B so Outlot A would increase from about 0.57 acres to roughly 3 acres and Outlot B to roughly 4 acres.

Dan Lauderdale, one of the applicants, described the filing as “just a boundary adjustment,” saying the changes clean up legacy lot lines that did not match field conditions and that existing residences already have access from Highway DD. County staff noted the proposed plat meets technical requirements of Chapter 4.10 of the UDO but cannot be finalized until the undeveloped right‑of‑way and easements are formally vacated by the County Council.

Arnie C. Dinoff, county public advocate, recommended approval and told commissioners the application meets minimum septic‑system acreage and public water is available to parts of the subdivision. The commission approved the preliminary plat with the staff‑recommended stipulation regarding vacation of the street and utility easements; the director will not sign the final plat until those public‑rights‑of‑way actions are completed.","The commission approved a preliminary plat that reconfigures lots in Lauderdale Estates, shifting lot lines and expanding two outlots on Highway DD; approval was conditioned on the County Council vacating the undeveloped street and utility easements before final plat signature.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6189878,"Commission recommends rezoning at 57 West O'Fallon Drive despite neighborhood opposition",993,1658000,2651000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660&start=1658&end=2651","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660/thumbnail_1658000.jpg","/articles/6189878/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Commission-recommends-rezoning-at-57-West-OFallon-Drive-despite-neighborhood-opposition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189878-7fe9d182ce815baf657e55b89eec149d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175975&Signature=Od864FhnKP8SN~pTszk8X0r7NOcuVMhrQRSsHDIZCcyAzDtO0CZhWDE8zgYK7HX4PKAI-Izo8Bn8Z7hSuX4jrN7Y5I0dBvlRmeFYCMY5DQQPixWvn6hS4g0SDogyCZPSpHM0AT3~Y1aWGUF2qpB8RnFphJV7nMd~gE1OS9pTblh32feFWjarU60vVIQM4o-9iX5qAwOalZ944iT7ZiomGJBsPNyDlcEZN7HMnG6hmRHKwxCMKw-iHgLV6wJuumcD4sIP8k6gzV1tYEzfxLrGv4178IiJhV-txMqY1TPZ4SjcQCVB~GiPS~zWiVD0a3tCalMc4qJ2kg25itPYqUUy9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment to change a 1.1‑acre parcel at 57 West O’Fallon Drive from R‑1B single‑family residential to C‑2 general commercial.

County planning staff said the site is at the southwest corner of Veterans Memorial Parkway and West O’Fallon Drive, is served by public water and sewer (Public Water Supply District 2), and that the change “conforms to the 2030 master plan” and is “well suited for commercial activity” because of visibility and access to major roadways.

Don Ravenick, representing the property owner, said the owner’s objective is resale: “it would be a more marketable piece of land as a commercial property.” Residents who opposed the rezoning said it was premature because no buyer or site plan has been presented. Ashley Lewis, who lives at 53 West O’Fallon, told the commission, “I think the rezoning is premature ... So they could not want C 2, so we've rezoned for no reason and then come back to the council to do this again … without a buyer, we don't even know what their use is.”

Arnie C. Dinoff, county public advocate, urged approval, saying the parcel is frontage property on a major corridor and that nearby new senior‑living and apartment developments create demand for services. Dinoff noted further reviews will follow zoning approval, including required site‑plan reviews and potential conditional‑use permits for specific uses.

After public comment the commission voted to recommend approval; the recommendation will be forwarded to the County Council for final action on July 14, 2025.","The commission voted to recommend rezoning a 1.1-acre parcel at 57 West O'Fallon Drive from single-family residential to general commercial (C-2); staff said the request matches the 2030 master plan and surrounding commercial frontage, while neighbors urged postponement until a specific commercial plan exists.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6189883,"Planning commission recommends rezoning of two Frymuth Road parcels to 3-acre residential lots",1095,552000,1647000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660&start=552&end=1647","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5054371-7b58ef755e339c4c555f595a93bd4660/thumbnail_552000.jpg","/articles/6189883/St-Charles-County/Missouri/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-of-two-Frymuth-Road-parcels-to-3-acre-residential-lots","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6189883-ac4321a7b612cf5ddf0b2aabc5d54a96/orig.mp4?Expires=1771175975&Signature=MXrGnQ62VW9VozeYrnP32GN24FMRwSpL3Md10snrt~NTzHCTfko2WIKKV5KrksEEDBVPuZFTeFoOcLx-ex9hcuIVH8E9Jgn3tJUoDu3nAvlxHe~pNzh4jwtS-ZIp-3vTCi0e6PjsVc2ZzGM8DjaY5JkN6j-BHleJxHEutCN2cmZ6KGzwasRKazMyuLVGsToxan8oT9UiVxt3H9GfPbs6UZmgzr1Bdf5WXSob~5~SbyR~q79c0XAUKpiy5V2OU1tDd-xa1Q17nB-JFW7jufgmJ6zXrEN4y3dnsslvJ6mh4OQnwwLmA~Y5A9CJTdNUN~wPv8KsJgz3mTiS0Eg1RDitdA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The St. Charles County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment that would rezone two adjoining parcels near 2367 Frymuth Road from an agricultural district (minimum 5-acre lots) to RR rural residential (minimum 3-acre lots).

County planning staff told the commission the request covers about 6 acres across two parcels and “recommends that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend approval of this rezoning application,” noting the change would align the parcels with the county’s 2030 master plan and with surrounding parcel sizes.

Applicant Thomas H. Vogel said the owner’s intent is to “get this property ready to have 2 3 acre lots instead of a 2 acre and a 4 acre.” Vogel and owner Dorothy Vogelsang told the commission the lots are not within the Birdsong Meadows subdivision and currently rely on individual wells and septic systems.

Neighbors raised access and homeowners-association concerns. Timothy Ferber, who lives at 1934 Nightingale Court, told the commission Nightingale Court is privately owned and maintained by Birdsong Meadows and said any lot seeking access to that road “need to join Birdsong Meadows Association with their appropriate assessments and abide by the bylaws.” The commission clarified it cannot require a private homeowners association to grant access; such agreements must be negotiated between the property owner and the association.

Arnie C. Dinoff, county public advocate, said the staff recommendation and the current septic and well service meet county minimums but urged a recorded ingress/egress easement to prevent future landlocked parcels, saying, “I would encourage the commission ... that there be an easement or an egress, egress, an ingress, to the second property being, developed here.”

After public testimony the commission voted to recommend approval to the County Council. The planning commission’s vote was recorded in favor and will be transmitted as a recommendation; final action on the rezoning will be taken by the County Council when the item is introduced July 14, 2025.

The record shows the rezoning proposal does not add public water or sewer service; any future subdivision or development would be subject to separate platting, access, and utility requirements under the Unified Development Ordinance and county procedures.","The St. Charles County Planning and Zoning Commission voted to recommend approval of a zoning map amendment that would change two adjoining parcels on Frymuth Road from agricultural (5-acre minimum) to RR rural residential (3-acre minimum); the applicant and neighbors discussed access, easements and homeowners association obligations.","actionData","errors"]
