St. Charles plan commissioners are reacting positively to plans to tear down a former bank building next to the Foxfield Commons shopping center on St. Charles east side to make way for an Andy s Frozen Custard store and an immediate care center.
Over the objections of neighboring residents, the St. Charles Plan Commission voted 5-3 on Tuesday to recommend approval of plans for a five-story building proposed near the Fox River in downtown St. Charles that would house one and two-bedroom apartments along with retail space.

The owners of six parcels at the northeast corner of Dunham Road and Main Street are offering to reorganize one of the busiest corners in St. Charles.
Representatives for KFP Family Associates, which acquired the 3.5-acre site in individual pieces between the 1950s and 1980s, presented a two-phase concept plan at Tuesday s St. Charles Plan Commission meeting that creates a new layout for the corner featuring several existing businesses Circle K gas station, Taco Bell, Franky s Red Hots, Bosa Donuts, Jersey Mike s Subs and the shuttered Corfu Restaurant.
The goal is to improve cross-access between the parcels by making it possible to safely and efficiently walk or drive from one area to another without going back on the street. The plan also includes a reduction in curb cuts, or entry and exit points, on Main Street and Dunham Road.
