Ellisville says OK to CVS PharmacyBy Ted Dixon Jr.Walgreens will officially get some competition in the area as the Ellisville City Council on Aug. 20 approved an ordinance allowing the operation of a CVS Pharmacy at the site of the recently torn-down Agostino's restaurant. The site is located at 15846 Manchester Road in the Bradford Hills Shopping Center (at the intersection of Clarkson and Manchester Roads). Walgreens is in the process of building a new store just down the road, on the southwest corner of Clarkson and Clayton Roads. The Rhode Island-based CVS Pharmacy store known nationally made a pitch to Ellisville city leaders in July about placing the company's first store on the Missouri side of the St. Louis metropolitan area. John King, an attorney representing the developer, Cedarwood Development Inc., said his client sought a drive-through with two lanes on the property of roughly 1.78 acres on the southeast corner of Manchester and Kiefer Creek Roads. The building, which is proposed to be made of brick and stone will be 12,900 square feet and two curbs are slated for that site - one on Kiefer Creek Road and the other on Manchester Road. The developer also is planning "enhanced landscaping" for the development. "The site will be well-landscaped," King said. Also, four parking spaces are to be eliminated at the request of the Ellisville Planning Department, King said. King added that the drive-through will be located on the southwest corner of the property. The store will be open 24 hours and seven days a week and is planning to sell liquor on its premises. Some members of the Ellisville City Council voiced their concerns about traffic issues, especially regarding access on Kiefer Creek Road. Traffic engineers who conducted a study reported to the city that they were satisfied with the traffic flow in that general area.
