October 8, 2026  Local land developers have proposed rezoning the 180-acre Irvin farm properties from Zoning A-2 to much denser Zoning A-R to develop 130 residential lots (a preliminary number) with 22-foot wide roads, no sidewalks, no curb and gutter, and no street lighting. These residential lots would be sold over the years to come and built by various home builders as permitted by Boone County.

Boone County will require extending E Brook Valley Drive north through the proposed new development to W High Point Lane, connecting S Route N/Missouri N to S Hill Creek Road and W Route K, cutting through the rural residential neighborhoods of Oak Hill Estates, Hill Creek, and Cornell's Friendly Acres. Boone County will require this new road extension to be built to County public road standards.

The sewer for this proposed new development would route east to the Brookfield Estates Waste Water Treatment Plant (60 units) and west to the relocated but not-yet-built South Route K Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) (70 units). The new South Route K WWTP will have additional waste water treatment capacity for new sewer connections in the W High Point Lane corridor and surrounding areas.

The surrounding property owners will have opportunity to attend any public hearings for rezoning requests to be held by the Boone County Planning & Zoning Commission to voice their concerns over the proposed encroachment of much denser residential development in the rural A-2 zoning district and sensitive Greater Bonne Femme Watershed with its patchwork of water, sewer and septic systems; sparse and unimproved country roads; and limited travel routes to everyday essentials in town.
