It was moved by Mr. Andrepont, seconded by Mrs. Griffin and carried unanimously to approve the minutes of the Regular Meeting of the Police Jury dated December 20, 2007.

President Stelly advised that action was needed on a revision to RZ01-032-98 which was a request by Damon Wolven to revise Ordinance No. 4015 and revert a tract of property (113.17' x 243') from R-2 (Mixed Residential) to C-3 (Central Business Commercial) to allow a nursery on the east portion of 758 Cob Circle in Ward One, Police Jury District 1 (Mr. Spell’s district). President Stelly further advised that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, January 22, 2008, and voted unanimously to recommend that the request be granted with the following stipulations: (1) that the development adhere to the site plan on file with the Division of Planning and Development; (2) that an occupational license must be obtained within ten days of zoning approval; (3) that all items must be stored within the 75' x 60' fenced area; (4) that ingress and egress be limited to Highway 171 only; (5) that the proper permits must be obtained within ten days of zoning approval; and (6) that the use be limited to a nursery only. [On August 20, 1998, the entire property was rezoned from C-3 (Central Business Commercial) to R-2 (Mixed Residential) to allow residential development (manufactured home). On August 22, 2003, Ordinance No. 4015 was amended by Ordinance No. 4635 to remove Stipulation No. 2 which stated that the manufactured home must be removed upon completion of a new house or five years, whichever came first.]

Upon motion made by Mr. Andrepont, which was duly seconded by Mrs. Treme and carried unanimously, the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Board was upheld with respect to a revision to RZ01-032-98 and that the request to revise Ordinance No. 4015 be granted with the stipulations outlined by said Board; whereupon, the following ordinance was adopted:

AN ORDINANCE amending Ordinance No. 4015, adopted by the Police Jury on August 20, 1998, and Ordinance No. 4635, adopted by the Police Jury on October 23, 2003, (Zoning Case RZ01-032-98), to revert the zoning of a certain tract of property (113.17' x 243') from R-2 (Mixed Residential to C-3 (Central Business Commercial) to allow a nursery on the property described as: The E 113.17’ of the following described property, the legal description of which is hereby corrected to read as follows: Beg at the NE cor of lot three of Midway Subdivision, a subdivision of the NW ¼ of the NE ¼ and W ½ of NE ¼ of NE ¼ of S20, T8S, R8W, thence E 230 feet; thence S 243.17 feet thence W 230 feet thence N 243.17 feet to the poc, subject to a 12 foot street row on the E side of the property.

President Stelly advised that no action was necessary on RZ03-002-08 due to the fact that the petitioner had withdrawn the request until a later date, said request being by M.A.D. Development, LLC, to rezone from A-1 (Agricultural) to C-1 (Light Commercial) to allow a daycare facility at 1302 Country Club Road in Ward Three, Police Jury District 6 (Mr. Scott’s district).

President Stelly advised that no action was necessary on RZ04-029-07 which was a request by David A. Abshire, LLC, to rezone from I-2 (Heavy Industrial) to I-2R (Heavy Industrial-Restricted) to allow a solid waste site (construction and debris landfill - classification type 3) on Coach Williams Drive in Ward Four, Police Jury District 14 (Mr. McMillin’s district), due to the fact that the Planning and Zoning Board had met on Tuesday, January 22, 2008, and deferred action for thirty (30) days.

Mr. John Paul Moore, 4217 Holly Hill Road, Lake Charles, appeared before the Police Jury at this time with reference to water service provided by Waterworks District No. Seven of Wards Four and Six related to his new development (Crown Point Subdivision) off of Holbrook Park Road. Mr. Moore stated that he had sold a lot to Mr. Tim Farnum who had built a house, and the water district (Waterworks District No. Seven of Wards Four and Six) had connected his water meter. Mr. Moore further stated that subsequent to this, he had received a letter from the district asking him to upgrade the water lines in his subdivision, because the district did not think the existing lines would support 18 new homes.

Mr. Moore advised that he would like the meters on lots he had already sold to be connected when the owners thereof were ready. He stated that he was not sure that the lines needed to be upgraded. Mr. Moore further advised that the water lines going to the subdivision were public lines put in 22 years ago and that he had signed an easement agreement allowing the district to install the water lines which he said ran right through the middle of his property, thus, the district had been using those rights-of-way for 22 years at no charge. Mr. Moore stated that the district had collected at least $72,000 in user fees but was now refusing to hook up meters to the existing lines. He also stated that he felt it was a matter for the Police Jury to decide in his favor, since the water districts came under the Jury’s authority.

Mr. Joe Withers, 4726 J. D. Withers Road, DeQuincy, General Manager of Waterworks District No. Four of Wards Four and Six, appeared before the Police Jury at this time and stated that the problem was due to the fact that the district was following the Parish subdivision ordinance, and Mr. Moore did not like it.

In answer to specific questions by Mrs. Treme, Mr. Withers stated that 22 years ago, a three-inch water line was installed for a distance of one mile, and two-inch for another mile; that Mr. Tony Palermo and Mr. Joe Palermo, as well as Mr. Wallace Nichols, all developers who had developed subdivisions in this part of the Parish, had all done what was required of them and any other developer of a subdivision by the water district; and that the district had asked Mr. Moore to install another four-inch line the length of his subdivision and then the district would accept it.

Mrs. Treme asked what the estimated cost to Mr. Moore would be, to which Mr. Eric Vige, 298 Holbrook Park Road, DeQuincy, Service Manager of Waterworks District No. Four of Wards Four and Six, stated that in talking with other contractors, he estimated the cost to be close to $9,000.00. Mr. Vige also stated that the district was asking Mr. Moore, like other contractors were asked, to supply a blue print drawing of his subdivision and his intentions with respect to the water lines. He explained that the district had to push the water to the end of the line at a pressure that people could live with at the end of the subdivision.

Mr. Andrepont asked if the guidelines in the subdivision ordinance were required to be used by each water district. Mr. Vickers explained that where there was no existing water service, the ordinance required a developer to put in the water lines as recommended by the district, however, the ordinance did not address an issue where existing services lines were there but perhaps did not have enough capacity for the number of lots in the subdivision. Mr. Vickers further explained that in Mr. Moore’s case, since there were no new roads being put in or engineering work to be done, it was a matter of him meeting platting requirements.

Mr. Moore talked about the need to have a pressure/flow test done near his subdivision to determine whether the upgrade in water lines as required by the water district was really necessary, since there was no data available on which to make that decision. He advised that ReCon Engineering was willing to do such a test, and he felt the water district should bear the cost of said test, however, he would be willing to pay one-half of the cost for an engineering firm to look at it.

Mr. Withers stated that Meyer and Associates had done tests such as this 22 years ago and that he (Mr. Withers) had been in the water business for 25 years and could tell from experience whether a line would support the flow or not.

Mr. Andrepont stated that in his opinion, the $9,000 it would take to upgrade the water lines in Mr. Moore’s subdivision was not a lot of investment comparatively speaking, and that amount could be recouped during the sale of lots. Mr. Andrepont further stated that he would not set a precedent by micro-managing a board, and he recommended that Mr. Moore meet with the water district to resolve his problems and leave the Police Jury out of this matter.

Mrs. Treme agreed, pointing out that the Police Jury appointed very good boards and that this was the first time since she had been on the Police Jury (since 1992) that somebody could not work something out with a board.

Motion was then made by Mrs. Treme, seconded by Mr. Brame and carried unanimously that Mr. Moore work with Waterworks District No. Four of Wards Four and Six to resolve this matter in a manner that would benefit the people to whom he was selling lots (in Crown Point Subdivision) and in a manner that was not an undue burden on a district with a small tax millage.

Motion was made by Mrs. Griffin seconded by Mr. Collins and carried unanimously that the following ordinance be adopted:

H. Fenstermaker and Associates, Incorporated, for Storm Water Master Planning - Ward 1 Basin, and further, authorizing the President of the Police Jury, or his designee when appropriate, to execute all documents related thereto.

Mr. Landry asked if this would tie in with the efforts of the Wastewater Committee, to which Mr. Allen Wainwright, Public Works Operations Manager, explained that this was the drainage master planning effort kicked off in late 2005 or early 2006 and involved storm water, not waste water. Mr. Wainwright further explained that as a part of this effort, the Parish had been divided into nine water basins, and Ward One was the first to be studied. He stated that some of the other basins such as south Lake Charles and Carlyss had to be postponed until after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed its study of same. Mr. Wainwright also stated that this was a modeling effort that would provide computer models for all of the drainage ditches in the Parish. Mr. Wainwright advised that it was a one-year project, and the staff hoped to have it completed in early 2009.

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