The Planning & Community Architectural Review Board approved exterior alterations for a single‑story office building at the northwest corner of West Fillmore Drive and Clayton Road on July 21, 2025, with a condition that the front entry paving match the city standard concrete of Meramec sand and gravel.

Staff presented the proposal, saying the applicant seeks to paint the exterior white, replace windows, remove a cupola, repair the roof, and install a squared new entry clad with large‑format stone veneer and a metal canopy. "My name is Todd Nissenals. I'm the owner of Kaufman Townsley," the applicant said, and the architect described the canopy as a framed element clad with stone with a projecting exposed steel and wood canopy with a standing‑seam metal roof.

The board discussed materials and context; one member recommended seeing physical samples of the stone and paint color before finalizing material choices. The applicant confirmed there will be no change to the building footprint or overall size and that both levels of the building are currently in use.

A motion to approve staff recommendation with the paving condition was made and seconded; the board approved the application. The board and staff noted that signage shown above the front entry on plans requires separate permitting and was not part of this approval.

Project clarifications provided at the meeting: the small existing domed entry and cupola will be removed; roof repairs will address prior water intrusion; all windows on the building will be replaced; landscaping will be added around the new entry; and the applicant will remain in the building during construction while staff require a safe entrance during work.

The approval allows the applicant to proceed toward permitting, subject to the named paving condition and any separate sign permits required by the city.
