Florissant council approves permits, leases and road, floodplain agreements; Chick‑fil‑A request postponed
Summary
The Florissant City Council approved multiple local permits and lease agreements, reappointed two board members and approved ordinances authorizing a road resurfacing contract and floodplain‑management software. A Chick‑fil‑A parking/trash request was withdrawn and referred back to Planning and Zoning.
Florissant — The Florissant City Council approved several local permits, lease agreements and ordinances and reappointed two board members during its most recent meeting, Councilman Tom O'Donnell (Ward 6) said in a recap.
Council members entered second and third readings and authorized the mayor to execute lease agreements between the city and telecommunications firms for cell‑tower equipment at properties described in the meeting as 2306 Charbonneau (T Mobile Tower LLC) and 299 South New Florissant Road at Bangor Park (SDC 5 LLC). Councilman O'Donnell said both items proceeded through the readings process and were placed on the agenda for mayoral execution.
The council reappointed Coran Brown L to the Citizens Participation Committee and Jeff Cook to the Parks and Recreation Board, following a recommendation from Councilman Siam, O'Donnell said.
The council approved a permit allowing Lakeisha Johnson to keep four chickens at a property in the 800 block of Casca. The council also questioned Mr. Costello, owner of Costello's Pizzeria and Sub Sandwiches LLC (1060 St. Catherine in Old Town), about on‑site alcohol use, hours and expected customer volume and then approved a package beer and wine license by unanimous vote.
O'Donnell said the council approved two ordinances that had been read three times. One authorizes the mayor to enter into an agreement for a roadway project described in the transcript as the Milamfi Road project, which the council said includes resurfacing, replacement of damaged curb and sidewalk, construction of accessible curb ramps and installation of new sidewalks. The council also approved an ordinance allowing the city to purchase floodplain development software.
There was a first reading for an escrow agreement with McBride Coke Park LLC to change a subdivision‑improvement guarantee from a letter of credit to a cash escrow; that item was presented as a first reading rather than final action.
The meeting included additional announcements about community events and the council adjourned without further action on the Chick‑fil‑A matter, which was withdrawn by the petitioner and referred back to Planning and Zoning for additional work.
The council's recap was delivered by Councilman Tom O'Donnell, Ward 6. The next regular council meeting will include swearing‑in of the newly elected Ward 8 councilwoman after the statutory certification period.
