The subject property has a zoning designation of Special Development District (SDD) and is part of the multi-phase Centene Clayton Campus. Subdistrict 2A is bounded by Forsyth Boulevard to the north, Carondelet Plaza to the south and east, and South Lyle Avenue to the west.

Mr. Tobias confirmed that the space was earmarked as the ticket office for the entertainment venue.
Hank Winkleman, citizen, addressed the Board stating that he appreciates the discussion, and this is a remarkable step to move forward in the neighborhood. He encouraged the Board to be aggressive and robustly include the community in the discussions. This is a wonderful opportunity for people to impact and shape Clayton. He encouraged the Board to aggressively explore the opportunities with the community to talk about architecture, open space, edges, streets, and this “gateway” (the east side) into Clayton.
Mayor Harris commented that retail has dramatically changed over the last decade; considerably over the last year and that the city will take a look at the retail, have discussions and possibly create future goals.

A RESOLUTION TO CONSIDER AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF A MUNICIPAL PARKS GRANT APPLICATION FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A POCKET PARK AT 7811 MARYLAND AVENUE
City Manager Gipson reported that included in the City’s FY22 Capital Improvement Budget is funding for the construction of a new park at 7811 Maryland Avenue. The land was acquired in 2018 with the intent to create an Urban Park in Downtown Clayton. Since that time, SWT was retained to develop a design for the park. The conceptual design was approved in 2019 and, since that time, the Clayton Community Foundation (CCF) has been raising funds to help pay for this project. To date, they have raised more than $80,000 and are waiting to hear back on several grants that would bring their total to more than $100,000. In order to move this project forward, City staff recommends applying for a grant of up to $225,000. If this application is successful, the grant along with funds raised by CCF will provide the resources necessary to develop the site into a new public park. The City should receive notification before the end of the year with the intent to begin the work in early 2022.
Patty DeForrest, Director of Parks, addressed the Board providing an overall summary of the project.
In response to Alderman Lintz’ question, Patty DeForrest stated that the City is expected to spend $15,000 (or less) out of the capital fund. The city needs to contribute 5% of the project costs which is $15,000.
In response to Mayor Harris’ question, Patty DeForrest stated that the proposed cost is $350,000, demolition bids received were very good, and that they are also preparing to apply for an additional grant ($25,000) with the Missouri State Conservation Department.
In response to Alderman Lintz’ question, Patty DeForrest stated that staff will work to keep the city’s cost as low as possible.
In response to Mayor Harris’ question, Patty DeForrest said that with the additional anticipated $25,000 grant from the Missouri Department of Conservation she does not expect the city to spend more than $15,000.
In response to Alderman Berkowitz’ question, City Manager Gipson said that the Park Grant would be $225,000, $80,000-$100,000 from Clayton Community Foundation; $25,000 MO Department of Conservation; and $15,000 from the city. The demolition bids (FY2021) came in under $100,000 as anticipated, therefore it is expected to use little or no costs to the city.
