Council Considers Controversial Mosley Rd. Homebuilding Plan
The Creve Coeur City Council will also have second reading of a bill to limit funeral protests and will hear about plans for the former Borders space.
Benton Homes' plan for Villas at Mosley, a subdivision plan for 10 homes on Mosley Road near Olive Boulevard, will be up for a first reading Monday night before Creve Coeur's City Council.
The project comes to Council after a split decision at the Planning and Zoning Commission. According to minutes from recent P&Z meetings, some residents in the area opposed the development, claiming it put too many homes on 4 acres. Backers of the project say that a previous development for the area that had been approved in 2008 had 11 homes planned.
A community walking path that drew opposition from other residents because it potentially came too close to their homes was taken out of the project.
Also on Monday's Agenda:
- Second reading is scheduled on an ordinance that would put limits on funeral protests. The law is meant as a response to groups like the Westboro Baptist Church, which protests military funerals.
- First reading on a bill that follows action last week by the Planning and Zoning Commission allowing for changes on the former Borders Bookstore site.
