Council approves resubdivision tied to new Dollar General site on La Grange Street
Summary
Crowley council approved a resubdivision that clears the way for a commercial parcel across from Southside Kitchen; the private gravel road La Grange will remain private and the house on the lot is expected to be removed, city staff said.
The Crowley City Council voted on Feb. 10 to approve a resubdivision labeled "Tract B-1" that the city attorney and staff said will allow a commercial lot — described on the map as a 0.74-acre tract north of La Grange Street — to be redeveloped for a new Dollar General store.
City engineer Tim Mader and Mayor Martin described the parcel and the adjoining private gravel road. Mader explained the gravel lane known as La Grange Street is currently a private easement and would remain private after the resubdivision; the council’s action approved the subdivision plat change rather than acceptance of any new public street.
Mader told the council the property owner and developer plan to remove an existing white house set back on the lot as part of the redevelopment. "That house is supposed to be gone," Mader said during the discussion.
Council member Jeff Dorrey moved the resubdivision; the motion was approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition. No additional city maintenance responsibility for La Grange Street was assumed by the city as part of the approval.
The council did not vote on site-plan specifics, demolition permits, or building permits for the future store at the meeting; those remain separate administrative processes and would follow standard permitting and inspection requirements.
The vote was taken during the Zoning and Annexation committee meeting and recorded as a routine plat approval by the council.
