'Meramec Place' - Proposed development in Old Town

There is a City Plan Commission / Architectural Review Board meeting this coming Monday, April 6th at 5:30pm at City Hall, 10 N. Bemiston. Please review the meeting agenda HERE. The agenda includes a conceptual review of the Old Town Clayton proposed development called 'Meramec Place'. Last September, you may recall, there was a conceptual presentation from several Conrad representatives following the annual Old Town Clayton meeting at St. Joseph Parish Hall. The latest plan has changed dramatically from the initial plans presented.

Yesterday, I met with Catherine Powers, our city's Director of Planning and Development Services to discuss and view the new plans for myself. Links to the new documents regarding the landscape plan, elevations, streetscape and the staff memo to Plan Commission can be found HERE off of the city's website.

If you are an interested Old Town resident, please plan to attend the city's Architectural Review Board meeting on Monday. If you can't attend, there are several things you can do. You can contact Catherine Powers to ask questions or voice your opinion at 290-8459 or email her at cpowers@ci.clayton.mo.us I would also encourage you to contact our Ward 3 alderman.....
