Council Hears Plans For Domino’s, Take 5 Oil Change,

Café NoCo  Restaurant At Parker Spur

By Carol Arnett

The Florissant City Council met via Zoom on Monday for the second October council meeting and held three public hearings and passed several bills The first public hearing was about a request to rezone property at 1620 Shackelford Road from one commercial district to another for a Domino’s Pizza and another tenant.

The property is currently a parking lot, next to the post office. The new building will be approximately 3316 square feet with 27 parking spaces. Wes Kistler spoke to the council about the project.

Councilman Andrew Harris asked about neighboring properties. Kistler said they would work with the post office for drainage issues. There will not be access to the new building from the post office parking lots.

Mark Ratterman, who also spoke for the project, said that there was no tenant for the second space yet, but they have not marketed it heavily yet. “We’re very picky about who we’ll put in,” he said.

Councilman Jeff Caputa had some questions about the building material. Parts will be a stone. The same company is currently building another location in Glen Carbon, Ill.using the stone.

No one spoke in opposition at the hearing and the council held a first reading on the bill that would approve the rezoning.

The second public hearing was about a request to allow for exterior alterations and to remove vehicle rentals from permitted uses for property at 3120 N. Highway 67, at the intersection of Lindbergh and New Halls Ferry. The property is currently an Oil Change Plus and will become a Take 5 Oil Change. The building will have the same footprint, but will have a raised section on the corner.

Bill Robertson spoke to the council about the project. He said that it would change the building to match other Take 5 buildings. The color scheme is beige with red signs. The company would not rent vehicles, so they would remove parking spots currently used for rental cars. The parking lot will be restriped for the parking they will need.

Caputa asked if the business would do any other auto repair. Robertson said that they will only do oil changes. No one spoke in opposition at the hearing and the council held a first reading on the bill that would approve the changes.

The third public hearing was about a request to change a special use permit from restaurant use to restaurant – bar use for property at 3343 Parker Spur. Tonya Hester spoke about the project and said she would like to restore Café Rhema, and change it to Café NoCo. She would like to add a bar and offer dine-in and carry-out.

Councilman Robert Parson asked if there would be any outside changes. Hester said that the sign would change immediately, and she would eventually like to work with the other tenants in the center to change the outside. The restaurant will offer cigars for take-out, but there would be no smoking on the premises.

No one spoke in opposition at the hearing and the council held a first reading on the bill that would approve the project.

      In other action, the council:

• Passed a bill approving a subdivision plat of the Flower Valley Shopping Center. This would separate the Chick-Fil-A at the site from the shopping center.
• Passed a bill approving a special use permit for an event center at 3421 N. Hwy, 67. This is on Lindbergh, across from the Wal-Mart.
• Passed a bill approving a four way stop at Jefferson Street at St. Antoine Street.
• Passed three bills to move money from one account to another.
