The county has officially denied the zoning request for the Timber Run development. While the path ahead requires us to remain vigilant about future proposals, today represents a significant victory for our neighborhood and the preservation of our local wildlife habitat.

St. Louis County is seeking approval for a zoning change on a piece of land in the middle of our quiet neighborhood. This development would become a focal point of our community of over 100 homes. Our community is nestled back between Mason Road and Fee Fee Road north of Olive Boulevard.
The current permit states if a zonning change is approved that a 16,000 sq fr facility center will be built on 4 1/2 acres directly in front and behind our homes. The current area is a wooded in grassy area where a lot of wildlife tend to congregate in the mornings and evenings. A facility of this type in this size in the middle of a residential not only not be very attractive, but will completely unwind the recent years of property valuation increases in the area.
There is no doubt there will be a large increase in traffic, loss of value in our properties, a negative affect on our personal and personal lives, potential for disturbances all hours of the night, and worsened flooding into our community.
Please stand with us and sign this petition to tell St. Louis County NO not here!!!

I have lived for over 40 years in this neighborhood. I feel safe going for walks on the street. The new development will not only bring unwanted and unneeded traffic through these residential streets but it will also lower property values and take away much needed green space. Please do not allow this facility to be built here.
With less permeable soil and more concrete the houses in the subdivision will get more runoff. This development will also effect traffic. Why not build on the land on Olive that is for sale and already zoned for such a facility.
I oppose proposal development housing facility on Timber Run at Sypressway. Reason: 1. Encroach of the yards homeowners. 2. Remove natural water barriers. 3. Decrease my home value. 4. Remove all mature trees. Homeowner: 1344 Palm Ridge Court, Saint Louis MO 63146
Has there been consideration for using the now-empty Youthbridge building at Olive & Timber Run? Rather than developing inside a residential neighborhood (increasing traffic, removing green space, introducing light and noise pollution, decreasing the safety for residents) why not repurpose an already established building in the nearly-same location?
Storm water from developments in Olive and our neighborhood drain into a sink hole on that property. I have had many discussions with the Metropolitan Sewer District about it. I believe there should be an environmental impact study on where this rainwater will go. We already have multiple issues with storm water run off as a community.
The Majority of Residents in all the surrounding areas Vote NO to any future developement in or near Creve Coeur Lake a and Park.
To respond to one of the other commenters, there is already a wonderful buffer between the residences and commercial developments to the south that would be taken out and replaced with another commercial development in the residence's front and back yards. No one disputes that this is a valuable service, it's just in the wrong place. An assessment of low impact does not take into account the 24/7 nature of this operation in a residential neighborhood among many other issues including logistics, traffic, flooding, etc.

There is already a lot of traffic on this street. It is the main way for the residents of Timber Run and Whispering Hills to get to Olive. It is a cut through for people that live off of Ross. There is traffic due to Burger King. Please do not allow Our Lady’s Inn to put a building there.
