Commission recommends metal panel fence for MHP LLC site, approves final site plan
Summary
MHP LLC’s final site plan on Highway 190 was approved and the commission recommended a waiver (to council) to allow a galvanized metal R‑panel solid fence rather than the ordinance’s wood/brick/masonry requirement; commissioners cited durability and screening and noted nearby dump corrosion concerns.
The Planning Commission approved the final site plan for MHP LLC on Highway 190 and recommended a waiver from the parish fence‑material standards so the applicant can install a solid metal R‑panel style fence.
Rudy Senko said the applicant prefers a galvanized metal panel fence for durability and longevity, arguing it will last longer than wood and provide visual screening. Commissioners discussed distances to nearby residential structures and the presence of a wooded buffer; one commissioner noted the fence looked like a security fence intended to keep people out and that the proposed panel would be opaque. Another commissioner raised corrosion concerns because of the proximity of a dump and fumes; participants said the R‑panel has a protective coating and should hold up.
Engineering and planning staff recommended approval of the site plan. The commission voted to approve the plan and recommend the waiver by recorded roll call (Mr. Clemens, Mr. Wax, Mr. Dana, Mr. Burns, Miss Ferris, Miss Long).
