            President Danahay advised that no action was needed at this time on RZ04-030-06 which was a request by Petrologistics Olefins, LLC, to rezone from A-1 (Agricultural) to I-2 (Heavy Industrial) to allow industrial development (ethane storage facility) on Highway 90 West in Ward Four, Police Jury District 13 (Mr. Andrepont’s district), due to the fact that the applicant had requested a deferral until November, 2006, to allow him time to educate the public regarding this project.

            It was moved by Mr. Andrepont and seconded by Mr. Stelly to adopt a resolution extending the provisions as set forth in a resolution adopted on October 11, 2005, which authorized temporary waivers from zoning restrictions for temporary housing acquired by property owners due to damages caused by Hurricane Rita, said extension to be for a period of nine months. 

            Mr. Vickers explained that the original waiver was for a period of one year and was obviously still needed due to the fact that there were still a lot of people living in FEMA trailers, some of whom were waiting on funding from the Louisiana Road Home Program, and the fact that when a trailer was no longer needed, it had to be decommissioned and moved off the property, all of which took time. Mr. Vickers stated that perhaps the nine-month extension would provide sufficient time for the area housing supply to catch up with the need.

            In answer to a question by Mrs. Griffin, Mr. Vickers advised that there had been a lot of requests for tax credits through the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency as well as for benefits under the Gulf Opportunity Zone (Go Zone) legislation, so hopefully there would soon be visible signs of construction of affordable housing in the area.

            Mr. Clement asked what the permit fee had been for a FEMA trailer, to which Mr. Vickers responded that in an effort to work with each individual’s circumstances, no fee had been charged if the trailer could be hooked up to utilities at an existing house, and further, if the house had been demolished but still had sewer facilities and electricity could be supplied, a $25 permit fee had been charged.

            A vote taken on the motion on the floor carried unanimously, and the following resolution was adopted:

RESOLUTION

        BE IT RESOLVED BY THE POLICE JURY OF CALCASIEU PARISH, LOUISIANA, in Regular Session convened on the 19^th of October, 2006, that it does hereby extend the provisions as set forth in a resolution adopted by the Police Jury on October 11, 2005, which authorized temporary waivers from zoning restrictions for temporary housing acquired by property owners due to damages caused by Hurricane Rita,.

(b)the placement of multiple manufactured homes or recreational vehicles is permitted in all Agricultural, Multi-Family Residential, Commercial and Industrial Zoning Districts on a temporary basis not to exceed one (1) year from date of permit issuance, and any extension of said period shall also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

            Section 3.       No application to petition for a Director’s approval for housing shall be considered unless one of the following criteria apply:

(a)the placement of temporary dwellings on one lot in R-1 (Single Family Residential and R-2 (Mixed Residential) zoning districts, where the dwelling is not damaged and the property owner would like to provide housing relief due to the effects of Hurricane Rita on a temporary basis not to exceed one (1) year from date of permit issuance;

            (c)       the placement of a temporary dwelling on a vacant lot in a R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning district for the occupancy of the property owner only on a temporary basis not to exceed one (1) year from date of permit issuance.
