The direction of development in Maryland Heights will be largely determined on Tuesday, October 11, when the Maryland Heights Planning Commission votes on the Maryland Pointe proposal to put 191 acres of big-box retail and fast food joints next to Creve Coeur Park. They have three options:
1. Deny the conceptual development plan
2. Approve the conceptual development plan
3. Approve the conceptual development plan with conditions
The first option is really the only acceptable one. If the CONCEPT is wrong, no amount of dressing up with conditions, market studies, etc., will make it any better. Do we want big-box retail next to Creve Coeur Park? NO we do not. Deny this concept and let's move on to creating the kind of community we DO want.
