Chairman Leonard Spears called the meeting to order.
The agenda was revised to consider final approval of Richard Prairie
Estate Subdivision.
A motion was offered by Florette Bergeron and seconded by Martin
Guillory, Jr to approve the minutes of the meeting held on December
5, 2000. Motion carried.
Engineer Karl Aucoin announced that he reviewed final plans
submitted by Martin Zaunbrecher for Richard Prairie Estate
Subdivision and that only signatures, fees and recording were
necessary for completion.
A motion was offered by Thomas Freeland seconded by Martin Guillory,
Jr. to approve final plans for Richard Prairie Estates subject to
collection of fees and recording. Motion Carried.
Mr. Gary Matte, representing Frog City Development, LLC and owner of
eleven lots of land located on Pearl Street, outside of the
municipal limits of Rayne, Louisiana requested a written ruling on
whether the Commission believes the subdivision and sale of the lots
are grand fathered, or whether he could be granted a variance or
must comply with the Parish subdivision regulations.
Counsel for the Commission advised that since the development
occurred prior to the time Subdivision Regulations were enforced
that it should not be subject to those rules.
A motion was offered by John E. Hains and seconded by Florette
Bergeron to provide written response that Frog City Development, LLC
is not required to submit plans for review as the property located
on Pearl Street was subdivided prior to the regulations. Motion
Carried.
Mr. Leonard Spears and Mr. Thomas Freeland were elected Chairman and
Vice Chairman of the Planning Commission by acclamation. Katry
Martin was chosen to serve as Secretary.
The next meeting was set for February 20, 2001.
Due to no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
