Summary
The St. Mary Parish Council approved final subdivision and rezoning recommendations from Planning & Zoning — including Rivers Patout and Rodriguez Brothers Farms — and approved multiple rezonings for Darla Lanie & Patrick Prados and Bruce Saucier; a motion to expand the agenda to call a special election on an amended Home Rule Charter failed.
The St. Mary Parish Council on March 25 approved several planning and zoning recommendations and handled appointments and resignations.
Planning & Zoning Director Mandi LeBlanc presented multiple items, and Council member Dean Adams moved approval of the Rivers Patout final subdivision (Hwy. 317 parcel) and Rodriguez Brothers Farms preliminary and final subdivision adjustments; both motions were seconded by James "Jimmy" Davis and carried. The council also approved rezoning requests for Darla Lanie & Patrick Prados (EN2 to AG) and for Bruce Saucier (various parcels from Single Family Residential and Light Industrial to Agricultural), following recommendations from the Planning & Zoning Commission.
Councilmember Adams moved to expand the agenda to adopt a resolution ordering a special election on an amended St. Mary Parish Home Rule Charter and to make application to the State Bond Commission; Mr. Les Rulf seconded that motion, which failed. The record notes Mr. Patrick Hebert, Mr. J Ina and Rev. Craig Mathews voted no; the motion did not pass.
In old-business appointments, Mr. Les Rulf moved to appoint Rhett Fryou to the Atchafalaya Golf Course Commission; Mr. Davis seconded and the motion carried. The council also received financial statements for Recreation Districts Nos. 1 and 3 and accepted resignation letters from Didi Battle (Bayou Bend Health System board) and Terrence Johnson (Recreation District No. 4). The meeting adjourned on a motion by David W. Hill, seconded by James "Jimmy" Davis.
Ordinances read into the record cited Ordinance No. 1973 (St. Mary Parish Unified Development Code) and included Exhibit A parcel descriptions for the rezoning items; the ordinances note they take effect upon publication in the official journal.
