14. Consideration of adopting a resolution indicating objection/no

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:
(14.1) Proposal of Joseph
Haiko to install and maintain a vinyl bulkhead, timber wharf, boat house and
fill for erosion control and private recreational use. The proposed structures are to be located
within an area approximately 100 feet long and 23 feet wide, extending
lengthwise parallel to the mean low water shoreline, the outer edge to be about
18 feet channelward therefrom.
Approximately 60 cubic yards of hauled-in limestone aggregate would be
placed as fill behind the bulkhead. Said project is located on the West Fork of
the Calcasieu River, 1048 Edwards Road, in Sulphur. The Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no
objection to this project application.
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.

drainage facilities, and place earthen fill for homesites and driveways, all as
necessary to develop a 42-lot single family residential subdivision, due to the
receipt of a watershed study which examined the impact of the proposed
development and made recommendations for improvements within the watershed
boundary. 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.
