Parish panel affirms 80% developer build-out as threshold before accepting roads
Summary
Members endorsed an 80% build-out threshold for developers before the parish accepts roads, debated whether to attach a time limit and instructed staff to circulate draft ordinance language.
Speaker 3 said any road the parish accepts becomes the parish’s liability and funding responsibility: "Any road that we accept. Becomes our liability. It becomes our baby and we fund it." The group discussed whether an 80% or 90% completion threshold should be required before the parish accepts new subdivision roads; Speakers 4, 5 and others repeatedly expressed support for an 80% threshold.
Speaker 1 asked whether the threshold should include a time limit, suggesting a two-year window before the parish could take action if a developer delayed remaining phases. Members asked staff to circulate draft ordinance language based on an 80% recommendation from a prior workshop; no ordinance text was introduced at this meeting, only the proposed name "Ordinance 3 of 1992."
No final ordinance was adopted; the body recorded a motion to recommend introducing the ordinance name and will return with formal language for review. The action was procedural: staff will prepare draft ordinance language and report back at a future meeting.
