EX ALDERMAN NEWSLETTER 391 AND CHESTERFIELD UNAPPROVED 336 August 17, 2019 TOWN AND COUNTRY REAL ESTATE: Here today and gone tomorrow! 1040 Tidewater Place Court (off of Clayton Road) 1 This house with all the gates was built in 1975. It sits on 1.74 acres. It currently has 4,298 square feet of space, includes 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths and 2 half baths. Here is a description of the house from a real estate website when it was recently on the market: The house sold on 12/01/16 for $740,000. Now the owners, since 2017, the Olwigs, want to tear it down and replace it with a home that has 5,487 square feet. HERE IS ANOTHER ONE THAT IS SOON TO BE GONE WITH THE WIND: This one is at 932 Claymark Drive. Off of Clayton Road near Topping. The original Town and Country ranch style house on a large lot has almost disappeared on Claymark. 2 This is 932 Claymark. It is 2,266 square feet with 3 bedrooms. It sits on a 1.2 acre lot. This is an overview of some of the houses that have replaced torn down ranch homes. The new plans for 932 Claymark are unusual in as much they don’t involve building a “monster house.” But at 4,872 square feet it will be more than double the size of the original house. 3 PRINCIPIA TO BUILD NEW FIELD HOUSE, EXPAND ATHELTIC FIELDS AND ADD LIGHTS FOR ATHLETE FIELDS . Monday morning August 12 the headmaster of the Principia School, Travis Brantingham, gave a presentation of the proposal they plan to make with the city concerning the Field House and some athletic fields. This was held at the Longview Farmhouse in connection with the monthly resident get together put on by alderwomen Tiffany Frautschi and Lindsey Butler. Here is the existing field house located at the west end of the property long Clayton Road and behind the tennis courts: Brantingham explained boy’s sports were exclusively at the Field House due to its size. Girls’ teams have had to play in the high school PE gym with limited seating. The goal was to have all indoor sports teams play and practice in the new field house. The existing baseball field would be moved back and three new fields including a cricket pitch would be built. New parking lot would be added off Clayton Road west of the tennis courts with a walkway to the field house. The plans include an indoor track and some areas with artificial turf inside the new field house. 4 East view 5 South view West view Brantingham said plans called for lighting the baseball field and some of the added outdoor fields. He stated that due to the distance off Clayton Road and direction of the lights, people living on Clayton Road or Mason Road should not having lights shining on their property. The planned new field house would have 40,000 square feet at a cost around $28,000,000. The new parking lot and fields would likely see the total costs go above $30,000,000 A CHANGE AT PRINCIPIA WITH ENROLLMENT. For the first time non-Christian Scientists will be allowed to enrolled at the Principia School and Principia College. However there is a catch. Only 15 are allowed at each school. 6 There are slightly more than 400 students at the College and 400-plus at The Principia School. Allowing 15 non-Christian Scientists would represent a whopping 0.0375% of diversification at the Town and Country school. It is even worse at the College in Elsha, Illinois where the latest enrollment put out by the College is 480. That means a diversification rate of 0.03125%. FALL BASEBALL CLINICS Here is one thing at The Principia that is open to everyone and taught by someone with professional experience. Pete Paciorek, the new head baseball coach and Director of Community Outreach at The Principia School is putting on fall baseball clinics open to all. Paciorek played nine years of minor baseball including Dodger and Padres teams. He was recently head coach at Principia College and then was in Florida coaching at a baseball school. Pete Paciorek: Pete Paciorek is the son of John Paciorek, who in 1963 was 3-for-3 in his only big league game for Houston. His uncle is Tom Paciorek, who played 18 seasons in the big leagues for six different teams. Tom is probably best remembered for his time with the Dodgers and White Sox. Many may remember Tom doing play-by-play of White Sox games on WGN TV with Ken “The Hawk” Harrelson. 7 Pete Paciorek Fall baseball clinic? Here is Pete Paciorek’s email: [email protected] MISSOURI BAPTIST EMPLOYEE CAUGHT STEALING NURSE’S CREDIT CARD: Tiennessa Smith, 29, of St. Louis has had a lot of short term jobs. She was a server at Caleco’s in downtown St. Louis. She has also worked at a day care facility. In June of this year she was working as a temporary housekeeping employee at Missouri Baptist/BJC Hospital in Town and Country. Tiennessa Smith 8 A registered nurse at the hospital complained to Town and Country Police that someone had stolen a Master Card from her purse while it was in the staff break room. Detective Katie Exline was able to use hospital security video that showed Smith in the break room area. She was able to match this up with video from a Burlington Coat Factory store in St. Louis showing Smith using the stolen credit card. This is from the court file: 9 INVESTIGATION SHOWS HEROIN ADDICT STOLE MORE THAN $1,300 OF MERCHANDISE FROM THE TOWN AND COUNTRY SCHNUCKS. In another case Town and Country Detective Katie Exline used security video to help identify a heroin addict who was coming out from St. Louis to shoplift hundreds of dollars of products from the shelves at Schnucks on Clayton Road. This was not a quick case to solve. It was nine months from the time of the crime to charges being filed. Besides liquor, liquid laundry detergent is a big item for drug addicts to shoplift, because they can quickly sell it on the street for 50% of the retail rice. 10 Det. Exline was able to identify Jahmil Dorsey, 36, as the thief on 09/28/18 and 10/14/18. Jahmil Dorsey 10/14/18 Felony Stealing (pending) Town & Country PD 10/04/18 Stealing (pending) Crestwood PD 09/19/18 Stealing (pending) St. Louis CO PD/Fenton 09/13/18 Stealing (pending) St. Louis CO PD/Fenton 06/15/18 Stealing (pending) Ladue PD 06/14/18 Stealing, Poss of Stolen Property (pending) Kirkwood PD 05/25/18 Stealing (pending) Kirkwood PD 05/18/18 Stealing (pending) Kirkwood PD 04/12/18 Stealing (pending) Kirkwood PD 03/13/18 Stealing (pending) Kirkwood PD 02/21/17 Stealing (warrant) St. Louis City PD Most of Dorsey’s victims were Schnucks stores but in Fenton it was a Walmart. Here are the charging documents from the Town and Country case: 11 12 MASON ROAD TRAIL CONTINUES TO GO NOWHERE FOR THE TIME BEING: At the Monday night August 12th Town and Country Board of Aldermen meeting things got more than a little contentious. When Bill 19-40 calling for spending $16.350 on a new engineering study of Mason Road for the planned 8-foot asphalt of an existing concrete sidewalk, came up on the agenda for a second reading and a vote, Mayor Jon Dalton didn’t want it to happen. “My instincts are for a continuation for the sponsoring alderman to be here,” said Dalton. Alderwoman Pam Holman of Ward 1 who replaced Lynn Wright both on the Aldermanic Board and as Chairperson of the Parks and Trails Commission was out of town. Holman is a supporter of this big money drain. A motion to continue the matter to August 26th was made. Alderman Dr. Matt Reutter indicated he wanted to speak. Dalton abruptly asked if Reuter wanted to speak on the continuance only. It was clear that Reutter wanted to speak on what a waste of money continuing this project is after it was shut down by County Highways 10 months ago. Reutter attempted to say what was wrong with the whole project, as a reason not to continue it but to vote NO on it. Ald. Jon Benigas stopped him making a “Point of Order” and demanding what this had to do with a continuance. Reutter was allowed to continue for a very short time. Then Dalton stopped him saying, “I have been patient on this. What does this have to do with a continuance?” 13 The vote was 5-to-2 to continue the matter with Ward-Two Ald. Lindsey Butler who lives off Mason Road and Reutter voting NO. The other Ward-2 Alderwoman, Tiffany Frautschi voted for the continuance. v Reutter Dalton The City began construction on what was supposed to be 20% financed by the city and 80% by a Municipal Parks Grant, with an 8-foot wide trail from Clayton over a mile to the 500-plus acre Queeny Park. This began in 2015. It was supposed to cost under $100,000 with the city paying about $18,000 and the grant picking up the rest. However a number of owners of large homes on Mason Road refused to give up between 12-to-16 feet of easement for the project. Dalton refused to use eminent domain lawsuits to obtain the ground.
