Town and Country adopts several ordinances, tables Deer Hollow final plan to July 8
Summary
At its June 24 meeting the Town and Country Board approved ordinances including a greenhouse conditional-use permit, a TAP agreement for Topping Road sidewalks, and a boundary adjustment with Creve Coeur; the council rezoned a North Forty Drive parcel and continued Deer Hollow's preliminary plan to July 8.
The Town and Country Board of Aldermen, meeting June 24, approved multiple ordinances and handled several land-use matters in a session that combined routine approvals with extended debate over a suburban rezoning and an adjacent planned residential community.
Key outcomes
- Bill 24-31: Approved unanimously. An accessory greenhouse at 1285 Dry Ridge Road received a conditional-use permit and became ordinance no. 4637.
- Bill 24-32: Approved unanimously. The board authorized entry into a TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program) agreement with the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission for Topping Road pedestrian improvements; staff described the award as providing a significant local match contribution (discussed in meeting as approximately $315,000 toward construction costs). The ordinance became no. 4638.
- Bill 24-33: Approved unanimously. The council approved a municipal-boundary adjustment with Creve Coeur to resolve a parcel split by the municipal line; the ordinance became no. 4639.
- Bill 24-34: Rezoning for roughly 9.816 acres on North Forty Drive from suburban low to suburban medium passed 5–2 and became ordinance no. 4640. Council debate focused on gateway character, density limits in the comprehensive plan and concessions the developer had offered (setback increases, buffer planting, relocated stormwater facilities).
- Bill 24-35: The council accepted a substitute version of the Deer Hollow planned residential community bill (updates to plan-date references and permanent-open-space language) by voice vote and then voted unanimously to continue the preliminary development plan to July 8 to allow coordination with Creve Coeur and further arborist review.
Other business
- Liquor-license renewals and transfers on the agenda were approved by voice vote.
- The board approved a warrant list in the amount of $1,337,377.64; staff offered follow-up on a truncated line-item description if members wanted more detail.
The council directed staff to work with the developer and affected homeowners on recorded conditions or agreements (including options for an independent arborist review) before returning to the council on July 8.
