Commission approves two minor subdivisions with variances in Chauvin and elsewhere
Summary
The commission approved a frontage-variance-backed minor subdivision for property owned by Rodney Lade Jr. and approved a two-lot division for Barry Bouquet that included a variance from the 250-foot fire-hydrant requirement in lieu of a certified draft site.
The Terrebonne Parish Regional Planning Commission approved two minor-subdivision items that included variances.
G-3: David Waits of David Waits Engineering & Surveying presented a minor subdivision for property owned by Rodney Lade Jr. in Chauvin and requested a variance for reduced frontage in lieu of an existing 20-foot servitude of passage. Administration told the commission that lot configuration otherwise met subdivision standards, engineering approved the drainage plan, and required utility letters (including the Department of Health) were submitted. Staff recommended approval subject to specific conditions: depict land use and the method of sewage disposal on the plat, show at least one permanent benchmark, and revise line work around the Batscher tract to show it is not part of the subdivision. Commissioner Thibodeaux moved to approve per staff recommendations; the motion passed.
H-1: Shane Kirkland, representing Barry Bouquet, presented a two-lot division requesting a variance from the 250-foot fire-hydrant distance requirement in lieu of a draft (dry) site. Staff confirmed the Little Caillou Volunteer Fire Department issued a certification letter on 10/20/2025 certifying the draft site and recommended approval of the variance and subdivision. Commissioners voted to approve the staff recommendation.
Both approvals were recorded in the meeting minutes with motions and seconding commissioners; staff noted conditions to be met on the plats before final recording.
