Old House at Hog Hollow Heads to Chesterfield Committee After Planning Commission Rejection
The owners of the Old House at Hog Hollow will get another shot at expanding their hours and outdoor dining when Chesterfield's Planning & Public Works Committee holds a public hearing June 4 at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall's Conference Room 101.
The 1859 farmhouse-turned-wine bar at 14319 Olive Blvd. has been the subject of a years-long dispute with neighbors over its operating rules. Owner Scott Ririe and General Manager Angie White want to extend restaurant and retail hours from the current 4 p.m. closing to 7 p.m. and allow food service on a 24-seat outdoor patio. No physical changes to the property are proposed.
Previous requests have failed repeatedly. A 2023 rezoning bid lost 0-8 at Planning Commission, then 0-8 on appeal to City Council. A 2025 application stalled over an unresolved code violation that wasn't cleared until January 2026.
The current version, P.Z. 02-2026, went before the Planning Commission on March 9, where 18 speakers opposed the changes and 10 spoke in favor. On March 23, commissioners tried a compromise: extend indoor hours only, with no outdoor seating or music. That motion failed 4-2, short of the five votes required for approval.
White told the Planning Commission she would trade outdoor music entirely for patio access. "I would prefer to have the outdoor space open for customers to enjoy rather than engage in ongoing disputes," she said at the March 23 meeting.
Neighbors remain opposed. Terri Wynn, president of the Mansions of Spyglass Subdivision HOA, told commissioners that 37 of the subdivision's 50 households oppose any modification to the current zoning, citing noise, lighting, and parking concerns.
The property's landmark designation, established in 1982, currently limits restaurant hours to 7 a.m.–4 p.m. and requires all business activity indoors. Planning Director Justin Wyse noted at the March 23 meeting that the city cannot issue event permits for outdoor activities that the ordinance expressly prohibits.
The committee's recommendation will advance to the full City Council for a final vote. No date for that vote has been scheduled.
