Summary

The Planning and Zoning Board approved a variance May 20 allowing a second dwelling at 1431 East Lincoln Road in Ward 3, granting relief from public road frontage and lot-size requirements with staff conditions tied to the submitted site plan.

The Calcasieu Parish Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 approved a variance permitting a second dwelling at 1431 East Lincoln Road in Ward 3, despite the parcel not meeting the parish's public road frontage and lot-size requirements.

Planning staff said the property, in South Lake Charles, is approximately one acre and that the applicant seeks relief from the public road frontage requirement (250 feet required; 208.7 feet requested) and from the lot-size requirement (87,120 square feet required; 43,560 square feet requested). Staff recommended approval because "minimal impacts are to be expected," and attached the condition that the development adhere to the site plan on file and allowed the director or designee to authorize technical adjustments discovered during development.

Applicant Stewart Greathouse (listed as Stewart Greathouse et ux) was identified on the record. Board member Coach (first name not specified in the transcript) moved for approval and Latricia Cobb seconded. With no public opposition listed, the board approved the variance by voice vote.

The variance was approved with the staff-recommended condition requiring adherence to the submitted site plan; any required technical adjustments will be handled by the Division of Planning and Development.
