LONEDELL, Mo. — Some residents near this small eastern Missouri town are upset about plans for a resort — a nudist resort.
Lawrence Enterprises Inc. of High Ridge, Mo., is seeking a permit for an RV park and campground along with the private nudist resort on 52 acres near Lonedell, about 50 miles southwest of St. Louis. Details will be discussed today at a meeting of the Franklin County Planning and Zoning Commission.
Company President Lawrence Schulz said in a letter to the commission that in addition to RV sites, plans call for campsites, motel rooms, lease lots and permanent sites. Year-round facilities would include an indoor pool and hot tub, outdoor pool and a clubhouse.
Several persons whose property adjoins the site have organized a petition drive to halt the resort. Some are worried about how it would affect the value of their property.
“I wouldn’t have bought property across from a nudist colony,” Stephanie York said. “Everybody out here is very upset about this.”
In his letter to the commission, Schulz said “clothing optional” resorts are a popular trend in Europe and elsewhere in the United States.
An RV park and nudist colony... Nope don't want to see that one.
Watch out for the poison ivy and the insects Missouri is full of them. What no pickup trucks with campers on them too?
