Town and Country residents were reportedly concerned over a dead doe found in a neighborhood. However, an MDC autopsy shows the deer was struck by a car, not shot as some initially thought.
According to a report by KSDK, Town and Country residents were concerned over a deer found in the 2500 block of Town and County Lane Wednesday morning by a homeowner. The deer had what appeared to some residents to be a gunshot wound to the back of the head. (The KSDK story has since been removed from its website and the story link no longer works.) However, a Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) autopsy just completed Thursday afternoon shows the deer died from impact with a vehicle and not a gunshot. Town and Country Police Captain Gary Hoelzer is in charge of the city's deer management program. Patch spoke with Hoelzer immediately after he received the call from the MDC agent with the animal's autopsy results. "He guarantees it was…

Developer Pulte Homes has withdrawn its application to build a new subdivision called Estates at Town and Country Crossing near Clayton Road.
Developer Pulte Homes is no longer building a new subdivision called Estates at Town and Country Crossing. The new neighborhood of 69 homes would have been located at 1000-1272 Town and Country Crossing Dr. near Clayton Road. Town and Country Planning Director Sharon Rothmel received a letter (included in the PDF portion of this article) dated Oct. 19 from Pulte. The letter alerted the city it would not be moving further with the new development, but did not give a reason for the decision. "It was kind of out of the blue, however, they were at a stopping point in the process," Rothmel told Town and Country-Manchester Patch. "The next step in the approval process would have been presentation of their improvement plan to the Planning and …

"To me they look prefab or modular in design. There is no architectural details on them." The new home designs contain …

The director of the health department, based in Clayton, said her office will consider updating its fee schedule—to a point.
Clayton Farmer's Market manager Deborah Henderson recently sent a letter to a county official telling him that fees imposed on farmers markets by the St. Louis County Department of Health are causing farmers to consider going elsewhere with their goods. That's why Henderson has consulted the health department, the Missouri Department of Agriculture and other local managers in an effort to get the fees reduced or waived. "These permit fees have created undue financial hardships for farmers and other food vendors, and the corresponding permit filings have become burdensome," Henderson stated in an April 22 letter to 5th District County Councilman Pat Dolan. Dolan is a Richmond Heights resident. A copy of the letter is attached to this …

St Louis Multiple Listings Service indicates that there have been 46 single family homes sold or pending sales in the past year in Town and Country UNDER $600,000 and 66 homes over $600,000. Sounds like a good success rate for the $400-600,000 price … more ›
