The Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen Voted 4-1 to pass the new development plan for the Villas of Ridgepointe.
Lake Saint Louis Ward 3 Alderman Richard Morris was the single nay vote for a new development plan for the Villas at Ridgepointe that residents fear will change the atmosphere of what many residents considered to be a senior-lifestyle community. At Monday night's 5:30 Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen work session, Community Development Director Steve Schertel asked for changes to the bill, which had already received a first reading at the June 4 meeting. One of the changes was in the number of lots that would be restricted to single family ranch-style units, and another was in allowing three-car garages to be added to several models. Schertel said that the city attorney had recommended a change to another provision of the bill that had …

Kemp Homes is asking for a change in the development plan to build 2-story homes.
Residents of the Villas at Ridgepointe who came to Monday night's meeting hoping for a vote on proposed changes to the subdivision's development plan were disappointed. The Lake Saint Louis Board of Aldermen voted 3-1 to table the ordinance, which was up for a second reading and final vote.

Lake St. Louis residents asked the Kemp Homes Company to make more changes to their development plan during Monday night’s board of aldermen meeting.
During a public hearing at Monday night’s Lake St. Louis board of aldermen meeting, residents told the board they were still not happy with the Kemp Homes Company proposed development plan for the Villas at Ridgepointe, an unfinished subdivision south of Lake Saint Louis Boulevard, and east of S. Henke Road. In March, Kemp Homes asked the city to amend the original development plan to allow the construction of single-family homes on empty lots in the unfinished subdivision.

A resident contacted Patch to clarify a point about the Villas at Ridgepointe: "Regarding your article on the Ridgepointe Villas, I wanted to clarify that Ridgepointe was never a senior-living community. We have many retired folks and empty nesters, but also have many working couples living in our community.
