Summary
The Livingston Parish Planning Commission approved a string of site plans and plats Jan. 13, including three school multipurpose buildings at Live Oak campuses, two storage projects and a revised Coastal Oaks Industrial Park preliminary plat.
The Livingston Parish Planning Commission approved several site plans and plats at its Jan. 13 meeting, moving a mix of school and commercial projects forward in Livingston Parish.
The commission approved a conditional-use request allowing a Martin Group RV and boat storage facility on Walker North Road. Brennan Bates of Mickland Taylor described the 5-acre parcel and said roughly 40% of the back of the site would be developed for storage; the applicant confirmed the rear portion would be fenced and the existing front residence would remain unoccupied for potential future use. Commissioners approved the conditional-use permit by roll call.
Commissioners also approved preliminary site plans for multipurpose buildings (gyms, classrooms and offices) at three Livingston Parish schools: Live Oak Elementary (Old LA Highway 16), South Live Oak Elementary (Cecil Drive) and North Live Oak Elementary (Outback Road). Engineering staff reported that all technical comments had been addressed and recommended advancement to the next stage.
The commission approved a final site plan for Head of Island Plaza 22 (Louisiana Highway 22). Kennerly Engineering’s Clint Kennerly said the proposed building would be about 80 by 175 feet and could provide roughly 19–38 enclosed storage units depending on unit length. Engineering recommended approval after confirming previous comments had been addressed.
The commission also approved phase 2 of the Epic Piping Shop expansion (a 68,000-square-foot shop bay and relocated loading building on South Frost Road) and a revised second preliminary plat for Coastal Oaks Industrial Park (James Chapel Road), which reduced the number of lots from eight to six because of flood-elevation constraints. Craig Corey (Monroe and Corey) said the change made remaining lots more usable; engineering recommended approval. Commissioners voted in favor of each item by roll call.
During the meeting commissioners asked applicants for larger drawings and clarified that approvals are for the planning-stage motions presented; applicants must return with required fence plans, site plans and any engineering details necessary for subsequent permitting.
The commission concluded routine business — setting future meeting dates and electing Miss Kathy as chair and Mister O'Hara as co-chair — and adjourned for the evening.
