The Trustees recedived the following email from the City of Chesterfield:

Major street re-construction has now been completed in your subdivision. Over the next few weeks the contractor will complete backfilling behind the curb line and the replaced sidewalk ramps. Last step in completing this project will be sealing the joints. We currently don't have a date when this will start but this process will not affect access to driveways or require overnight lane closures.

Work on the project described below will resume on or about March 23.

Slabs on Royalwood Subdivision Streets Spring 2026

On Tuesday, February 18, Trustees Jim Spillers and Jon Gehbauer met with Trent Helland, 

Chesterfield Project Manager, to learn more about the plans to replace our streets. In addition to the trustees, Sean Kernan also attended.

Work is scheduled will begin on or around March k on the project described below 9 (weather permitting) with tentative completion date of around mid-May.Streets, curbs and subdivision entryways are included. Woodroyal East, Woodroyal West and Woodroyal Court streets will be replaced. Royal Crest Court was not judged to need replacement at this time but the street entry off the SouthOuter Road will be replaced.

Here are some specifics:

• Working hours are between the hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm.

• One week prior to starting, pre-construction signs will be posted at both ends of the street. Only 5 houses per work zone will be affected at any one time.

• Homes to be affected will receive a flyer 24hrs before their driveway will be blocked and cones will be set up designating the driveways affected. Residents must park beyond the cones.

• Only one side of streets at a time will be worked on.

• Old concrete will be removed using a pulverizing machine. New concrete takes a minimum of 3 working days to cure(Sat./Sun. are excluded). New concrete will be roped off and no foot/auto traffic is allowed until ropes are removed. Do NOT park on driveways for a minimum of 5 days.You can drive on the concrete ONLY after ropes are removed.

• Trash pick up could be delayed. If so, please contact the city. 

• Concrete and dump trucks on our streets will cause delays so allow for it. They will attempt to not block street traffic for more than 15 minutes but there are extenuating circumstances that can take longer.

• Mail Delivery: Our carriers are union and have the right to refuse delivery if streets are blocked or deemed toodangerous to deliver. It’s left up to each individual carrier.  You may want to pick up your mail at the Post Office during construction. If you have a mail delivery problem, you will need to contact your post master directly.

• Any damage to driveway aprons, mailboxes or sprinkler heads (recommend marking sprinklers by street). Damage to circles and cul de sacs should also be reported. Damage needs to be reported to Trent Helland asap. (office: 636.537-4758/ E-mail: thelland@chesterfield.us.com). City of Chesterfield will be taking pre-construction photos ahead of work. AMCON Municipal Concrete will becontacted by Chesterfield to address damages.

This briefing was stated in terms that describe things as they should occur, not necessarily as they will occur.

We did this exercise about 30 years ago and made it through. Patience is the key.

From The City of Chesterfield

Trustees of Royalwood: The City of Chesterfield has contracted with Sweeten’s Sealing Services, for the 2023 crack seal project, which will include the streets in your subdivision. This work consists of cleaning and sealing the pavement joints and cracks. This includes the joint between the driveways and curb. The joints have to be sealed regularly, usually every 5-7 years to keep water out of the base and to keep incompressible material out of the joint space. If not maintained in this manner, multiple problems can occur, the most serious which is street migration, or street creep. This project is scheduled to start on December 4 and is expected to be completed approximately March 1, it is not possible at this time to know when they will be in your neighborhood. There will be some debris caused by the cleaning of the joints, but the contractor will clean the material from the street. The contractor will then follow up and seal the joints and cracks with a hot poured rubberized sealant. During this process no road closures are necessary. The contractor will install temporary traffic control (signs and barrels) as appropriate. Please use care when driving though work zones.

• We had 11 large dead evergreen trees and 6 small dead evergreen trees along the Outer Road removed the week of March 20, 2023. 

• If you are planning on doing any type of renovation to your home and are planning on placing a dumpster on your property you will need a permit from the city for doing so. Trustee approval is required by the city so remember to get our approval.

• Please don't feed the deer!

• Here is what Chesterfield planning department told Council Member Aaron Wahl regarding The Legends at Schoettler Pointe: They have a grading permit to start land clearance and site preparation, but are still working on getting their final improvement plan approval which I do anticipate being issued in the near future. The improvement plan approval shows all of the complete engineering necessary on the site and includes construction details on items like curb ramps, street construction details… Basically, it is their final approval from the City for construction of infrastructure.

• Here is an update from Council Member Mary Ann Mastorakos:  I just talked to the project manager for Lombardo Homes (The builder at Schoettler Pointe). He said they are waiting for county approval of the large retaining wall to be built on the west side of the property. The county told them 6-8 weeks. They hope to hear soon. Once approved, the city will have to sign off and  then they will build it. It will take about 2 months to construct. Once that is done, they will back fill, lay sewer, water and roads.

• Chesterfield Ordinance 1781 states the following:

Residential waste containers and tree waste shall be stored upon the premises where the waste was generated,· unless written permission for storage on other premises is obtained from a person having authority to grant such permission. The containers shall be stored in a place not visible from the street which the residential structure faces. Waste containers used for the storage of residential waste, other than waste from multifamily premises having four (4) or more units, shall be placed at the curb or mailbox or backyard or side yard as required by the hauler for collection. Waste containers and bundles of tree waste permitted by this chapter shall be placed at the collection point, i.e., in front of the premises or on the street no earlier than 5:00p.m. on the day prior to the regularly scheduled collection day. Waste containers shall be returned to their appropriate storage place no later than 12:00 midnight on the day of collection.
