After the Webster Groves City Council's 6 p.m. closed session meeting tonight, there may be an open meeting to discuss "future institutional collaboration."

Eden Seminary is seeking a conditional use permit from Webster Groves to amend its existing permit to allow for changes approved by Eden's Board of Trustees in the institution's 2012 master plan.

There have been numerous public hearings on the matter in the last couple of months - all of which have been continued.

One of the biggest concerns among residents is the seminary's plan to lease or sell 7.5 acres at the southeast quadrant of the campus, which is located at Lockwood and Bompart avenues. Also of concern is that Webster University has some first-right of refusal of properties.

Patch has calls into Eden and Webster University to see if they will have representatives at tonight's meeting and will update this story if and when we hear back from the institutions.
