In Re: Appeal for Reconsideration of Resolution No. 17-18
Findings and Ruling on Appeal
On September 25, 2017, several Clayton residents who live in the vicinity of the former Maryland School property generally located at 7501 Maryland Avenue filed a request for reconsideration and appeal of the Board of Aldermen’s September 12 decision to delete a condition about public use of greenspace on the subject property when approving a conditional use permit for operation of daycare and corporate training facilities by Centene Center III, LLC.
On November 14 the Board of Aldermen heard presentations on the appeal from all interested parties and took the matter under advisement. The parties were invited to submit post-hearing briefs in support of their positions which have now been received and considered. Being now fully informed the Board hereby issues the following ruling.
Comment
The Board very much appreciates and admires the concern, community commitment and energy which informed the efforts of residents around Maryland School to have their points of view heard. The zeal and scholarship of the proponents have been most impressive. We appreciate the cooperation and professionalism of all parties throughout this process.

The wording of the “condition recommended by the City Plan Commission” to which Appellants’ appeal is directed (the “Condition”) was as follows:
[“. . . the permitted uses shall be conducted so as to comply with the following stipulations and conditions at all times:” * * *]
