Gautier council approves Legacy Park amendments, major plan for Lot 6 at Highway 57

Gautier City Council approved Amendment 2 to the Legacy Park planned unit development and unanimously adopted the major development plan for Lot 6 at 4416 Highway 57 on Oct. 7, the city’s planning director said.

Planning Director Scott Anderson presented the requests to the council, saying the items return the development to the council for final approvals. After brief public comment from a project representative thanking staff for assistance, Councilman Jackson moved to approve Amendment 2; Councilwoman Jamieson seconded and the mayor declared the motion carried. Jackson later moved to approve the major development plan for Lot 6; Councilman Fuller seconded and that motion also carried.

A member of the public identified as Jonathan (no organizational role specified) told the council the property owners had proceeded faster than expected and praised city staff support. Councilwoman Jamieson asked which lot contained a partially erected building, and the record indicates that building sits on Lot 9, not the Lot 6 plan under consideration.

The council used the property identifier provided in the record for the site: 4416 Highway 57, Gautier, Mississippi (PID numbers cited during the meeting: 82430100.050 for the PUD amendment and 82430100.550 for the Lot 6 plan). The motions were made and seconded on the record; no roll-call tallies were read aloud and the minutes show the motions carried.

The approvals permit the developer to proceed with elements of the Legacy Park buildout described in the development submissions to the planning office. The planning director and a city staff representative remained available to follow up on technical questions about lot boundaries and building placement.

Council members did not place any conditions on the approvals during the Oct. 7 meeting, and no formal appeals or variances were recorded in the discussion. The council’s approval concludes the local decision steps on these two items unless subsequently challenged or conditioned by additional filings.
