It was motioned by Mrs. Betty Pousson, seconded by Mr. John Hains, to amend the agenda to consider concerns for drainage in subdivisions. Motion carried.
Juror, Pat Daigle, was in attendance and represented Mr. Lowray Chachere on the development of Chachere Subdivision. He requested on behalf of Mr. Chachere that the Planning Commission consider approval of final plans for that subdivision. He noted that arrangements had been made for the application of the aggregate material now and in the future, that drainage improvements had been complete, utility poles and wires had been moved to satisfy the clearance of rights-of-way and that Legal Counsel for the owner would handle all necessary legal instruments relative to that acceptance.
Parish Engineer, Karl Aucoin, following inspection commented on the following issues: (1) engineering certification, that all drainage would function as per design, (2) a ditch on the south end of the property near the open pond needed to be installed and (3) that provisions needed to be made to provide ten 22 yard truck loads of washed gravel upon instruction by the Parish Road Manager.
A motion was offered by Mr. Thomas Freeland, seconded by Mr. Thomas Sonnier, to approve final plans for Lowray Chachere Addition contingent upon the following: engineering certification for the drainage, the location of all open drain ditches particularly on the south end of the subdivision and the provisions for the additional aggregate in the amount of 220 yards for application within the next two years. Motion carried.
A motion was offered by Mrs. Florette Bergeron, seconded by Mr. Thomas Sonnier, to approve the issuance of building and sewer permits for the resident located on the corner of Foster and Nolia Lane. Motion carried.
Mr. Stanley Clause, Sanitarian with the Louisiana Department of Health & Hospitals, offered suggestions related to the drainage problems that occurred in subdivisions that were not required to be submitted for review. These were areas where lots exceeded three acres in size.
Chairman Spears advised that language could be included in the Ordinance to require a review for drainage only to protect the buyer.
It was suggested that the Sanitarian with the Health & Hospitals be in attendance at the next meeting to further discuss the matter.
A motion was offered by Mr. John Hains, seconded by Mr. Thomas Freeland, to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried.
The next meeting date was set for September 19, 2000.
Due to no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
