President Griffin advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ08-015-01 which was a request by Southernwoods Estates, L.L.C., to rezone from I-1 (Light Industrial) to A-1 (Agricultural) to allow a residential subdivision (Southernwoods Estates) at Highway 397 and McCown Road in Ward Eight, Police Jury District 10. She further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, and voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted. (It was noted that the staff's recommendation had been to deny the request due to residential encroachment in an industrial area.)

Motion was made by Mr. Breaux, seconded by Mrs. August and carried unanimously to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board with respect to Zoning Case RZ08-015-01 and to grant the request to rezone; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:

President Griffin advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ03-017-01 which was a request by Michael Thibodeaux to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow a trenching business on Arabie Road in Ward Three, Police Jury District 9. She further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, and voted six (against) and five (for) to recommend that the request be denied. (It was noted that the staff's recommendation had been to grant the request with the following stipulations: (1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; (2) that a six-foot (6') wooden fence be installed along the west property line after thirty days of completion of the building; (3) that all drives and parking areas be hardsurfaced (concrete or asphalt) within six months; and (4) that the use be limited to a trenching service only.)

It was moved by Mr. Derbonne, seconded by Mr. Manuel and carried unanimously that the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board be upheld with respect to Zoning Case RZ03-17-01 and that the request to rezone be denied.

Ms. Kitty Richard, Arabie Lane, Lake Charles, appeared before the Police Jury and stated that her neighborhood was a middle class neighborhood with homes in the price range of $40,000 to $50,000, and most residents were retired, yet Mr. Thibodeaux wanted to put a metal building in this residential area.

Mr. Andrepont called for a point of order, stating that Ms. Richard was in favor of the motion on the floor.

President Griffin allowed Ms. Richard to continue, and she (Ms. Richard) stated that one of the reasons she disagreed with allowing Mr. Thibodeaux to put in the metal building was that he was aware of how the property was currently zoned, and while the property fronting Gulf Highway was commercial, Arabie Road (leading off of Gulf Highway) was not. She further stated that she did not mind the building but wanted it put somewhere else.

A vote was taken on the motion on the floor, and said motion carried unanimously to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board with respect to Zoning Case RZ03-017-01 and to deny the request to rezone.

President Griffin advised that action was needed on Zoning Case RZ03-016-01 which was a request by Curray Corporation to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow commercial development at 4124 Thornton Street in Ward Three, Police Jury District 2. She further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, May 15, 2001, and had voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted with the following staff recommendations: (1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; (2) that all storage and equipment must be stored within confines of the building; and (3) that the rezoning was for Lots 16 and 17 only.

Motion was made by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Dr. Mackey and carried unanimously to uphold the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board with respect to Zoning Case RZ03-016-01 and to grant the request to rezone; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:

ORDINANCE NO. 4271

AN ORDINANCE amending Chapter 26 - Zoning, of the Code of Ordinances of the Parish of Calcasieu, Louisiana, classifying the area: A request by Curray Corporation to rezone from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow commercial development on the property described as: Lots 16, and 17 of Block 2 Airport Acres #1.

From R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial) to allow commercial development with the following stipulations: 1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; 2) that all storage and equipment must be stored within confines of the building; and 3) that rezoning is for Lots 16 and 17 only; on the property described as: Lots 16, and 17 of Block 2 Airport Acres #1.

WHEREAS, notification has been received that an application for an after-the-fact Department of the Army Permit has been made to the U.S. Corps of Engineers, and application for a Water Quality Certification (WQC) has been made to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality by Palermo Properties, L.L.C. to clear, grade and fill an area, to construct a public truck stop and casino. Preliminary determinations have shown that approximately 2.7 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted from the final development. The proposed project is located within an area about 635 feet long and 236 feet wide, adjacent to Beglis Parkway. Approximately 7,400 cubic yards of on-site graded earthen material and 9,800 cubic yards of hauled-in clay and aggregate will be deposited as fill for the proposed development. Said project is located in Calcasieu Parish, Section 11, Township 10 S, Range 10 W, approximately 7.0 miles easterly from Lake Charles, Louisiana, off of Beglis Parkway; and

WHEREAS, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development has evaluated the proposal of Palermo Properties, L.L.C. relative to its compliance with current parish ordinances and provisions, such as zoning classification, flood zone regulations, coastal zone regulations, and required development permits, as well as its impact on the Parish Transportation System; and

WHEREAS, upon completion of evaluation, the staff of the Division of Planning and Development concluded there is no cause for objection to the permit application based on parish ordinances and provisions, provided a development permit is obtained from the Parish Division of Planning and Development prior to commencement of the project.

NOW THEREFORE,

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, convened in regular session on the 17^th day of May, 2001, that it does hereby indicate no objection to the proposal of Palermo Properties, L.L.C. to clear, grade and fill an area, to construct a public truck stop and casino. Preliminary determinations have shown that approximately 2.7 acres of jurisdictional wetlands will be impacted from the final development. The proposed project is located within an area about 635 feet long and 236 feet wide, adjacent to Beglis Parkway. Approximately 7,400 cubic yards of on-site graded earthen material and 9,800 cubic yards of hauled-in clay and aggregate will be deposited as fill for the proposed development. Said project is located in Calcasieu Parish, Section 11, Township 10 S, Range 10 W, approximately 7.0 miles easterly from Lake Charles, Louisiana, off of Beglis Parkway.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the no objection position of the Police Jury in this permit application is based solely on the evaluation of the parish staff of the project's effect on current parish ordinances and provisions.

THUS PASSED AND ADOPTED on the date above inscribed.
