UPDATED: Tapawingo Homeowners Want More Information on Proposed Cultural Center

A longtime Sunset Hills resident wants to preserve a piece of residential land for artistic and historic use, but nearby residents want to know how new traffic to the Paraclete Fathers property will impact their roads.

A longtime Sunset Hills resident believes preserving a piece of his family's land will not only prove to be a memorial to his heritage, but to the city's history. While some neighbors flat-out oppose public activities at the former Paraclete Fathers property, others want more information on a proposed cultural center's wear and tear to their residential streets.

The majority of the city's planning and zoning commission members approved a recommendation made by Alwal Moore to include cultural centers as a conditional use in R-1 zones, but tabled the decision to recommend a cultural center on the Paracletes property, in the Tapawingo subdivision, until next month's meeting.

Several neighbors to the property expressed their concern over the center's proposed uses, and generally wanted more information on its impact to the area's homeowners.

I know the vast majority of Crestwood residents, myself included, wanted to see something done withRead More the old mall. It's too bad this is not reflected in our elected officials. I have given up hope. I just wish that I would have bought a house in Webster or Kirkwood rather than Crestwood. In a few years it will be nothing but empty buildings and resale stores while surrounding communities eat our lunch and our property taxes increase. What a shame.

I guess it must be based on individual interpretations- I was there for the closing ceremony and IRead More was very moved by the speakers story, as was the group I was with. He did start to let his emotions take over partially through his speech, but he caught himself and turned it around and went on to describe how the wall brought much needed healing and recognition to the soldiers, both alive and deceased, who fought in Vietnam. His speech was moving and the applause for him was thunderous. I still think of what he had to say on a daily basis. It's sad that some chose to walk out and missed the whole message.
