Developer Terminates Maryland School Contract
March 2, 2016 - From the Clayton School District eNews Special Edition:
Love Investment Company (Love) has terminated
its contract to purchase the Maryland School property from the School
District of Clayton. The proposed Maryland School Town Homes
development, which had its re-zoning petition denied by Clayton's Plan
Commission a few weeks ago, would have generated about $400,000 of new
annual tax revenue. Love's plans for the project included building 25
attached, luxury, single-family townhomes on the property.
"We appreciate the effort Love put forth in attempting to make this project happen as it represented the highest and best use for that property, and we respect and understand their decision," said Chief Financial Officer Mary Jo Gruber. "In terms of next steps for the property, the Board of Education will continue to evaluate options for the Maryland School property and will keep the community updated as they move through that process."

February 16, 2016 Stltoday.com article:
'The resident voice won again on Tuesday as the Clayton Plan
Commission voted to not recommend approval of a project of 25 town homes
that’s proposed for a neighborhood of single-family homes.
A
developer wants to build a cluster of town homes with underground
parking at 7501 Maryland Avenue, replacing a school that has been unused
since 1983. The developer is not asking for any tax incentives.
The
city’s planning commission voted 6-1 Tuesday night to recommend that
the Board of Aldermen reject rezoning that would allow the project.
Commission member Joshua Corson was the only one to vote in favor.....(read complete article HERE.)

Letter to Old Town Clayton neighbors from members of 'Protect Clayton Neighborhoods' .........
Dear Neighbors and Concerned Residents:
Please plan to attend the City Plan Commission meeting on
Tuesday, February 16 at 5:30 pm at City Hall, 10 N. Bemiston, 2nd
Floor. The latest proposal for the Maryland School property will be
presented by the developers. They are requesting an unprecedented upgrade
in zoning that if approved could affect all residential neighborhoods in
Clayton. We hope you will show up to voice your concern and show your
support for following the zoning ordinances and Land Use plans that have long
been in place. The developer’s plan has changed very little since they
received a unanimous negative recommendation on this project last May.
This is a very important time for Clayton with many planned developments
coming to the City. We need to reiterate that only those in accordance
with local and state laws should be approved. This cannot be a
case-by-case assessment process.
Thank you,
The members of Protect Clayton Neighborhoods
