Neighbors have concerns about the smell that comes with the grow facility. The city said they want a plan that everyone is happy with.
ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. — On Tuesday evening, the City of Olivette will hold a community meeting to discuss a special use permit for a medical marijuana cultivation site.
“They don’t want it here, it will bring a smell, that will take over,” said Neil Quarells, whose father lives right behind the proposed warehouse.
His family has lived in that same house for over five decades. Quarells is concerned about the home value in the future.
Nina Schatzkamer Miller lives a mile away. She’s with Clean Air Olivette and is opposed to a warehouse going up in her neighborhood. She’s going into Tuesday night’s meeting with one goal.
“The main thing we want is for them to delay voting to permit this,” Miller said. “More input from residents is needed. More study into how they will do odor mitigation is needed. That’s our main goal, if we can’t stop it, let’s delay it.”
She also has a problem with the transparency of how this project came to fruition. She said leaders weren’t open about the proposal and rushed this through.
