Contractor Has Mobilized Equipment to Install New Decorative Street Lighting Along Highway N

The City of Cottleville is pleased to announce that the contractor has mobilized equipment and began installing new decorative street lighting along Highway N.

This project, which was awarded through a competitive RFP process, will enhance public safety by adding and extending street and parking lot lighting along Highway N north to the entrance of Piazza Messina. Additionally, the west parking lot at City Hall will also receive new lighting.

The selected lighting style will complement the existing aesthetic of the old town area of Cottleville. We anticipate that the project will be completed by this spring, depending on weather conditions and material lead times.

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to continuing to improve Cottleville for residents, business owners, and visitors!

New 10 Home Lot Subdivision Recently Approved on Nearly 24 Acres

Lombardo Homes received the initial green light from the City of Cottleville to continue their plans for a new 10 lot residential subdivision to be named Village at Twin Creeks offering 3+ car side entry garages and a price point close to $1.5 million each on the nearly 24 acres of land north of St. Charles Street and west of Crooked Creek adjacent to the Cottleville Trails subdivision. The tentative subdivision name is a direct reference to Crooked Creek and Dardenne Creek which the property borders. The overall density is 2.4 acres per home and the applicant has agreed to a binding development agreement locking in the maximum of 10 residential single family home lots at the request of the Mayor & Board of Aldermen.

The site will feature a lake and Lombardo Homes works with DJM Ecological Services to properly construct their basins as well as planting appropriate plants that have very deep stable root systems. The applicant and property owner (a Cottleville Resident) requested two readings in February so they could close on the property; however, their journey began back in November when they initially submitted their application for 11 lots and no binding development agreement. From the initial application for 11 lots to the 10 lot version a total of 4 public hearings were advertised and held providing the community with the opportunity to ask questions or express concerns. Some of the next steps in the development process include: Corp of Engineers Permit, Floodplain Development Permit, DNR Land Disturbance Permit, No-Rise Certificate, Grading Plans, and Constructions Plans are all required before home construction can begin.

The City is required to have a Development Review Process for residents, land owners and developers. Once the City receives a development proposal/application, the law requires that the City place that proposal on a meeting agenda (for consideration by the Planning & Zoning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen).

Cottleville Playground Improvements Continue

Late last summer, the City Parks Department inspected the playgrounds and placed orders for a large quantity of replacement components for the Legacy Park playground. The Parks staff has begun to remove the existing components that are wearing out and replace them in kind including but not limited to slides, rock climbing rocks, etc. The play surfacing areas that began to fail were recently replaced as well. These replacements and repairs ensure the playground remains safe while extending the useful life for several more years so families can continue to enjoy the Legacy Park playground. The City will continue maintenance on City playgrounds throughout 2025.

Visit Legacy Park at 5490 5th Street Cottleville Mo 63304!

Substantial Work Continues on the Cottleville Weldon Spring Amphitheatre Expansion Project:

The contractor, who was selected through a bid process, has mobilized and begun the concrete sidewalk and stage/dance floor expansion project at the Cottleville Weldon Spring Rotary Club Amphitheatre this week. This project will not only provide a concrete dance floor area but will also provide better access to the amphitheater for both guests and bands to unload and load their equipment for music and other activities in Legacy Park.

For more information about the amphitheatre: Rotary Amphitheatre

City Beautification Project Complete:

As in various other parts of St. Charles County and adding to the city's charm, Cottleville has previously featured split rail fencing in and around Cottleville such as in Legacy Park, along Highway N, Weiss Road, Frankie Martins Garden and more. Adding to the ongoing beautification, additional split rail fencing has been installed along Highway N in the stretch shown in the photo which is along the Jim Hennessey Trail near Piazza Messina. The additional split rail fencing will contribute to the historic character as one travels through this area and provides a visual barrier between the traffic lane and multipurpose trail that has a slight dog-leg left curve. This project in conjunction with the Hwy N decorative street lighting project is also underway. The improvements make the area even more inviting for residents and visitors alike!

Cottleville Community Garden Information:

The Cottleville Community Gardens, located in Legacy Park near Madison Park Manor, will open for reservations on February 24th. This free gardening program is available to Cottleville residents and offers 19 raised garden plots each year. The City is considering several improvements, including raising some garden beds, mulching common areas, and allowing returning gardeners the first opportunity to reserve their same plot from the previous year.

Gardens are maintained by the gardeners themselves, with a hands-off approach from the City once the season begins. Gardeners are responsible for tasks like weeding and trimming within and around their plots. As there is no permanent water source, some gardeners use rain barrels to collect water. The City encourages community participation, and gardeners are asked to keep their plots in good condition throughout the season.

To reserve a garden plot, interested gardeners must complete a reservation form available on the City’s website under the “Forms, Permits, and Licenses” section: Community Garden starting February 24th. Forms should be submitted to City Administrator Michael Padella at michael.padella@cityofcottleville.com. Availability is limited, and reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis. Any unreserved plots will be made available to those who have submitted forms by March 10th.

City Selects Firm Specializing in Historic Structures to Assist with Applications

Following the interactive site visit from Ethan Starr of the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) last fall, where he reviewed the City of Cottleville's "Certified Local Government" or CLG program, the City administration thought it best to secure additional professional services from a firm that specializes in historic structures and is knowledgeable in preservation practices. There are many possible applications where external services may prove beneficial to the City such as: 

• Old Town Historic District code review and updates
• Assist with the review of applications for Certificate of Appropriateness related to new and existing structures
• Assistance with preparing Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) grant application(s) to SHPO for historic preservation initiatives 



The City of Cottleville is proud to be one of approximately 62 CLG's in Missouri having established its CLG program in 2008. Through the State's CLG program the City has secured funding to help make numerous improvements to our Old Town Historic District, which has contributed towards making Old Town Cottleville what it is today, a thriving business district that is the heart of our beautiful community!

Gutermuth Road Phase 3 Under Construction

with the Difficult Task of Utility Relocation Continuing.

Mayor Bob Ronkoski and County Executive Steve Ehlmann met to review

the construction progress on the Gutermuth Road Phase 3 road

improvement project. Phase 3 is a St. Charles County road project,

however, it has been a partnership between the City of Cottleville and

the County Government. The third and final phase of roadway

improvements now underway was initially delayed when the construction

bids came in over budget; this put the project on hold but following

continued advocacy from City of Cottleville officials, the project

design was revised and rebid in an effort to cut costs. These efforts

paid off and the revised project scope received competitive bids and

the project was awarded to Gershenson Construction and Notice to

Proceed was issued in August of 2024.

The Gutermuth Road Phase 3 improvements will feature many safety

enhancements such as new driving pavement, lane widening, flattening

of hills, straightening of curves, curb and gutter stormwater systems,

and a new 14-foot wide multi-use path on the south side of the road.

For more information about this road improvement project please visit:

Gutermuth road phase 3

Cottleville Entered into

an Agreement with St. Charles County to Allow for Blueway Bank Stabilization

The overall purpose of the bank stabilization and channelization is to extend to the upstream portion of Dardenne Creek the ability to navigate the creek via kayak and/or canoe creating a new leg of the Dardenne Blueway. This of course is also in conjunction with the Dardenne Greenway Trail which is also intended to extend further west to Dardenne Prairies' BlueBird Park. The portion that traverses Cottleville is in the "middle" but is also the longest segment of the new extension. St. Charles County's Parks Department hopes to have construction of the bank stabilization and channelization begin this year and completed by spring/summer of 2025. This is a joint effort between the adjoining cities and county governments with the goal of adding new outdoor recreational opportunities for area residents to enjoy. For more information on the Blueway visit: Blueway

Did you know? The City is Required to Have a Development Review Process

The City is required to have a City Development Review Process for

 residents, land owners and developers. Once the City receives a

development proposal/application, the law requires that the City place

 that proposal on a meeting agenda (for consideration by the Planning &

 Zoning Commission and/or the Board of Aldermen). However, merely

 being placed on an agenda does not guarantee that the proposal will be

 approved. Instead, the City reviews the proposal to determine whether

 it complies with the City Code.

Throughout a development or application review process it is critical

that voting members of the public entity remain impartial and reserve

their final decision until it is time to vote. The primary reason for

this is to ensure each applicant is granted their due process for

consideration by the governing body. It is equally important for any

person from the community who has questions, concerns, or general

opinions about a given proposal that they communicate directly with

the City through the designated communication channels such as phone,

email, written correspondence, or in-person statements at a public

meeting. Taking to social media to share one's thoughts and opinions

may be therapeutic and even garner like minded sentiment, but there is

no guarantee that any decision makers from the governing body will

become aware of such online statements.

As with any important topic, it is always best to research multiple

sources for information and in the case of city government operations

and activities that would include directing one's questions and

concerns to the City government. Your elected officials can assist

with this process if you ask them to and City staff are another

resource for information and facts on topics and proposals dealing

with local government.

Similar to all of our neighboring cities, a special event application and permit is required,which includes providing a liability insurance certificate listing the City of Cottleville as an additional insured. This assists in protecting yourself, your organization or business, your tax dollars and City infrastructure. Approved permitted events can be featured in our enews, social media, city calendar, etc.
