🏛️ May 4, 2026, Board of Aldermen Meeting Follow-up

The Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen met on Monday, May 4, and I wanted to share a brief follow-up for residents who asked for an update.

Here are a few outcomes from the meeting:

 Boulevard Manor, Bill No. 5101: Failed

This was the second reading for the zoning map amendment and major preliminary plat for a proposed 9-lot detached single-family subdivision at 2523 Lake Saint Louis Boulevard, across from Boulevard Park. Because the bill failed, the current R2 zoning will remain.

Did you know? This property is part of the Lake Saint Louis Community Association, so any future homes there would have lake rights and access to CA amenities included with membership.

 Old Willow Estates, Bill No. 5112: Passed

This approved an agreement with Blu Onx STL, LLC for grading, erosion control, and site improvements.

 Old Willow Estates, Bill No. 5113: Passed

This approved an agreement with Blu Onx STL, LLC for continued maintenance of streets and stormwater collection improvements to be dedicated to the City.

 London Manor, Resolution No. 05-04-26(1): Passed

This approved a stormwater management and BMP facilities maintenance agreement.

 Consent Agenda: Passed

This included the warrant and multiple liquor license renewals.

A quick note on Boulevard Manor and zoning:

As we all continue learning together, I’ve been spending time researching (and asking lots of questions about) zoning requirements, including what each residential zoning district allows and how standards such as lot size and setbacks can vary.

One thing I heard from many residents was concern that changing the zoning to R4 would allow apartments, duplexes, or other multi-family housing. R4 does not allow that. R4 ONLY allows for detached single-family homes, but generally with smaller lot sizes, shorter setbacks, and the potential for more single-family homes than R2. These are only a few of the many requirements, so for specifics, the City’s residential zoning standards page is a great place to start:
