Developers are pausing their plans with the land between the Missouri River and Creve Coeur Lake County Park in Maryland Heights. The city needs to come up with a procedure for storm water.
The 1,800-acre parcel of land is one of the biggest in the area without development. Since it is at a lower altitude, it has problems with storm water. There is a levee set to last for half a millennium to defend the site and it is in the center between several large roads.
Six developers submitted proposals to the council for the site including LA Rams owner Stan Kroenke and lawyer Alan Bornstein's idea for the entire area. The plan was to choose one by the end of September. However, the council will not allow any construction to begin until the storm water issues are resolved which could take up to six months. The city may ask for more proposals in case the current developers cannot commit to the time change. Wayne Oldroyd, the community development director for Maryland Heights, informed officials that Maryland Park Lake District's storm water management system could cost $20-$25 million. Those numbers were according to an estimate by an engineer.
If more developers wish to give a proposal to the Maryland Heights city council, a poster printing company could create clear visuals for the developer to bring to the meeting.
