Residents tell council county landscaping project across from Heritage Landing home remains unfinished
Summary
Unincorporated county residents Thomas and Mary Meinert told the council that a county erosion‑control landscaping project across from their Heritage subdivision home was left unwatered and unmaintained, with plantings needing replacement; the project engineer offered to meet with residents after the meeting.
At the June 29 St. Charles County Council meeting, Thomas and Mary Meinert of an unincorporated area told the council that a county landscaping project tied to erosion control across from their home in the Heritage subdivision was not completed to their satisfaction. The Meinerts presented photos and said seed and sod had been laid but not watered or maintained, and that shrubs and trees need replacement.
Steve Randall, the Horner & Shifrin design engineer for the Heritage Erosion Control Project, told the council he tried to act as a liaison with residents but said he does not control the contractor; he offered to be available after the meeting to address resident concerns.
Why it matters: Local infrastructure and contractor performance affect property owners and neighborhood stability. The Meinerts asked the council and administration to finish the work and ensure maintenance obligations are met.
What’s next: The engineer offered to meet with the Meinerts after the meeting; residents may pursue follow‑up with county administration or the project contractor.
