Council approves flood-mitigation acquisition, multiple rezoning and subdivision actions
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 25-29 to acquire property under a Flood Mitigation Assistance grant, accepted several subdivisions into parish maintenance and released related bonds, and approved multiple rezoning cases and local traffic and servitude variances during the Nov. 20 meeting.
The Livingston Parish Council took several land-use and local-government actions on Nov. 20, including adoption of Ordinance 25-29 under a federal Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) grant, acceptance of subdivision infrastructure into parish maintenance, multiple zoning approvals, a local speed-limit reduction and a servitude variance.
Ordinance 25-29, read by Miss Sandy (Sandefer), authorizes acquisition of movable property under the FMA project EMT-2022-FM-003-0003 for Livingston Parish; the homeowner named in the ordinance is Juanita Hebert of 8315 Arnold Road, Denham Springs. The council opened a public hearing, heard no public comment, and adopted the ordinance unanimously.
Public Works reported that Jubin Park 7th (roads except A) and Whispering Springs 3rd meet the 18-month maintenance requirements and will be accepted into the parish maintenance system, with maintenance-bond releases of $238,240.56 and $263,687.19 respectively; council approved both actions unanimously.
The planning department’s list of bond-series roads for 2025 and multiple zoning cases (cases numbered in the 25-51 through 25-57 range) were presented and approved per planning recommendations. Council members clarified distinctions between light and heavy industrial zoning (I‑1 vs I‑2) during the discussion.
The council also approved reducing the speed limit from 25 mph to 15 mph on Sarah Lane and Molly Drive in Hunter Crossing (unanimous). Clarence P. Allgood’s request to reduce a servitude from 60 feet to 30 feet at 8900 Harris Road was considered and the council amended the motion to limit the variance to access only (no utilities or drainage); the amended motion passed unanimously.
These items were handled as routine land-use and maintenance business, with council members asking for future presentations and public availability of planning materials where appropriate.
