H.R. 1-21 The Marianist Province of the U.S., c/o Merle Wilberding and Chris Conard, 4425 West Pine Boulevard, St. Louis, Missouri 63108 -

A request to remove a family retreat lodge, which is located at 4000 State Route 109 (Locator Number: 26V310045), known as Marycliff (formerly Woodcliff), c. 1905, per St. Louis County Tax Records, c. 1891, per City of Wildwood’s Historic Building Inventory [Survey 2014-15, Updated July 2019, Page 120 of 343], from the City’s Historic Register. This tract of land is zoned NU Non-Urban Residence District, with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The property owners have applied to rescind the Wildwood Historic Registry designation (Ordinance #2475), noting the original plans to renovate and preserve Marycliff are no longer feasible.  The owners are entitled to remove the property from the list, given the designation was not in conjunction with a historic zoning district or overlay, or along with an ordinance expressly granting economic or regulatory incentives. (Ward Six)
