13. Consideration of adopting a resolution indicating objection/no
objection to the following proposed projects in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,
provided said work meets with the rules and regulations of the Corps of
Engineers, Best Management Practices during the course of construction set
forth by the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines, and approvals are
received from all other appropriate state and federal agencies, and further,
that any required permits are obtained from the Division of Planning and
Development:
(13.1) Proposal of Stine
Brothers, LLC, to clear, grub, grade, and place fill, as necessary, to
construct a retail building materials store and parking lot and dredge a
stormwater retention pond for drainage improvements. Approximately 5,502 cubic yards of native earthen material, 5,524
cubic yards of hauled-in clays and silts, and 3,776 cubic yards of limestone
aggregate will be deposited in wetlands, as required to construct the proposed
facility. Said project is located off
of Nelson Road in Lake Charles. The
Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this
project application.
(13.2) Proposal of
ConocoPhillips to dredge an area to provide adequate depths for marine vessel
access. The dredging operation will
occur within an area approximately 900 feet long by 250 feet wide and consist
of the removal of approximately 40,000 cubic yards of channel bottom
material. Said project is located in
the Calcasieu River near Sulphur. The
Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this
project application.
(13.3) Proposal of Oliver
G. Richard III to drive timber pilings as necessary to construct a 56 feet long
x 54 feet wide elevated boat house with upper and lower decks, screen porch,
storage area, and access walkway. The
proposed structures are to be located approximately perpendicular to the mean
high water shoreline and extending 80 feet channelward therefrom. Said project is located at 1301 Shell Beach
Drive in Lake Charles. The Planning
Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this project
application.
(13.4) Proposal of Joseph
R. Palermo, Jr. to clear and grade a 47-acre tract, dredge to construct
drainage facilities, and place earthen fill for homesites and driveways, all as
necessary to develop a 42-lot single family residential subdivision. Said project is located on the northwest
corner of the intersection of High Hope Road and Heurtevant Road near
Sulphur. The work described within
the application was partially completed prior to obtaining a Department of the
Army permit and was in violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act. All legal issues concerning the authorized
work have since been deferred. The
Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury object to this project application
due to poor drainage and flooding that is occurring in the area.
AGENDA NOTE:
any resolution of no objection to any project, if adopted, will
stipulate that such “no objection” is based solely on evaluation by the Parish
Planning and Development Staff relative to the project’s compliance with
current parish ordinances and provisions, and that no environmental assessment
was made, and further, requesting the agencies and/or individuals with
environmental expertise to make an evaluation and forward their findings to the
U. S. Corps of Engineers.
