Creve Coeur City elections will be held in April.
City Councilwoman Charlotte D'Alfonso officially filed her papers to seek a second term representing Ward 3 Thursday. The period to file for April's elections closes January 15. D'Alfonso, a community activist, was first elected in 2011 after a petition effort to have her named to the panel to fill a vacancy in 2010 failed to sway former Mayor Harold Dielmann. Before and during her time in office, D'Alfonso has been outspoken on issues related to development, particularly with respect to Delmar Gardens' proposal for land on Ladue Road west of Interstate 270. The proposal is near her Ward 3 home. In office, D'Alfonso said she's looked out for interests across the city and has been responsive to residents who have questions. “I’m happy when …

Voters will elect members of Creve Coeur City Council, Parkway, Ladue and Pattonville School Boards, and other representatives in April.
The first day of filing for Apri's municipal elections came and went Tuesday without much fanfare in Creve Coeur Tuesday. Ward 4 Councilman Scott Saunders was first to file at 8 a.m. in his bid for re-election to a second two-year term. Dr. Saunders, who runs a pediatric research lab at Washington University, is a former Creve Coeur Planning and Zoning Commissioner who has also been active in city efforts to promote the arts. Dr. Saunders made an unsuccessful attempt this past spring at being elected Council President in an effort to try and bridge factions of the council raw from a bruising 2012 Mayor's race and to promote a sense of fairness in the process. "I really feel at the moment that the council's working very well together. We …

Executives for the senior living facility in Creve Coeur have only until January 14 to address questions raised by the city's Planning and Zoning Commission in rejecting the company's plans for a major project on Ladue Road.
After months of meetings, plans and input, Creve Coeur City Council members decided Monday they would not wait three more months to take further action on Delmar Gardens' proposed development plan for Ladue Road. The proposal, which would rezone land near Interstate 270 for assisted and independent living facilities along with single-family residential homes, was rejected by Creve Coeur's Planning and Zoning Commission. That negative recommendation from P&Z was on Monday's Council agenda for a first reading. In a letter to city officials, Delmar Gardens formally requested a three month extension before further action after that first reading to address concerns brought at the Planning and Zoning Commission, but did not have one of the main…

Cynthia Kramer is currently on Creve Coeur's Planning and Zoning Commission.

Ward 3 Councilmembers shared feedback about deer, smoking shelters and other topics.
Ward 3 Creve Coeur City Council Members Charlotte D’Alfonso and Bob Hoffman discussed issues of importance to residents and talked of issues that will affect the city in the near future Tuesday night at a town hall meeting at the Creve Coeur Government Center. The issue of deer in the city was raised by a number of attendees. Hoffman said “there was a lot of passion both ways” on the deer issue, as some residents want the deer removed or killed, some reject killing, and others don’t see them as an issue. Hoffman added that some blame the deer for causing car accidents and the destruction of landscaping while others have sighted hostile deer. D’Alfonso said most of the deer sightings have been concentrated in the city’s third ward, with …
