Council approves preliminary plat for Sugar Mill Pond Phase 28 lot adjacent to Oceans Drive
Summary
The council approved a preliminary plat for one lot in the Sugar Mill Pond development near Oceans Drive; staff recommended conditions and inclusion in the subdivision HOA and standard Youngsville infrastructure requirements.
The Youngsville City Council approved a preliminary plat for Sugar Mill Pond Phase 28, a single lot near Oceans Drive and adjacent to Laborde Physical Therapy and Waterview Apartments.
Pam, planning staff, told the council the plat was reviewed by staff and the ADRC and recommended approval with specific conditions: no zoning designation on the plat (Youngsville does not use zoning), clearer delineation of the point of commencement and subdivision boundary, visible boundary corners, display of utility niches on the plat, and the requirement that the lot pay capital improvement fees. Staff reminded the council that approval of the preliminary plat does not constitute approval of drainage collection or detention systems; the developer must provide required detention calculations and show proof of adequate parking.
Jordan Daigle, representing the developer, said the lot is about 18,673 square feet and the developer intends to sell it. The packet included a proposed use showing a three-story condominium-type layout with two units per floor for one of the buildings; Daigle said one building could be mixed-use with commercial on the ground floor and residential above, and internal parking would be provided behind the building with some permitted street parking at the front and side.
Daigle confirmed the lot will be part of the Sugar Mill Pond homeowners association. The council approved the preliminary plat on a motion by Council Member Romero with a second by Mr. Bolgiano; roll call was unanimous among members present.
Why it matters: the approval allows the developer to proceed with required engineering and detailed plat revisions subject to the conditions listed by planning staff, including demonstration of adequate drainage and parking, and payment of capital improvement fees.
The council record notes the developer must provide drainage calculations and show compliance with the city’s infrastructure requirements in subsequent submittals.
