stone or gravel, all required to install approximately 64 miles of a single 42-inch pipeline, five meter stations, ten pipeline interconnections and access roads.  Said project is located within the LaQuinta Channel and adjacent graving dock (fabrication yard) near Ingleside, Texas, in San Patricio County, in the Gulf of Mexico, block 220, West Cameron area, about 41 miles off the Louisiana Coast, and within a 53 mile long pipeline corridor in offshore waters beginning at block 220 and thence proceeding in a northwesterly route traversing the Calcasieu Pass Safety Fairway, Sabine Pass (Aransas) to Calcasieu Pass Safety Fairway and Sabine Pass Anchorage Area, coming onshore and tying into a proposed meter station at Johnson Bayou, Louisiana, in Cameron Parish, thence proceeding along a westerly route paralleling chenier ridges up to Sabine Lake, thence northward through Sabine Lake, a portion of the Sabine River, over emergent and forested landscapes and across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and other channels and tributaries ending at a new meter station and pipeline interconnection located at Starks, Louisiana, in Calcasieu Parish for an onshore distance of 64 miles.  The Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to the location of the pipeline only that will run through Calcasieu Parish.

 

(13.2) Proposal of Wallace Nichols to clear, grub, and grade a 65.8 acre tract and place approximately 53,000 cubic yards of on-site graded earthen material and 5,379 cubic yards of hauled-in limestone aggregate, all to construct access roads and homesites as necessary to implement Phase Two of the Woodland Forest Estate residential subdivision.  Said project is located on west side of North Perkins Ferry Road, approximately 1.9 miles north of Louisiana Highway 378, near Indian Bayou, in Moss Bluff.  The Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this project application.

(13.4) Proposal of Stevens Real Estate and Development, LLC, to clear, grub, grade, and place approximately 4,100 cubic yards of earthen fill and 2,600 cubic yards of hauled-in fill (clay and limestone), all necessary to construct foundation pads, roadways, and drainage facilities, as required, to provide six residential and six commercial lots.  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 subject to the revised site plan and the following conditions as recommended by Gravity Drainage District Four of Ward Three: 1) that no fill be placed in any area below the contour elevation of 13.5 MSL to insure that any storage extending from the detention area east of Nelson Road is preserved; 2) the existing 20 feet drainage easement and the existing 30 feet drainage maintenance easement on the property shall not be encroached upon or backfilled.  Any backfill shall have a gradual taper to the drainage easement and shall not adversely affect the existing drainage; 3) the backfilling of the applicant's property should not exceed the existing elevations of the residential properties that adjoin this site; 4) the Gravity Drainage District No. Four of Ward Three inspect and approve the above stated conditions after completion of the project, and advise the Army Corps of Engineers that the applicant has complied with said conditions; and 5) if any improvements are made to the area the District reserves the right to review and approve or disapprove those improvements.  Such improvements could be, but are not limited to the following: roads, buildings, parking area, drive way, and fill.

         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.
