Summary

The Community Development & Planning Committee reviewed a condemnation extension for 228 Dickson Ave, urged support for the HNC Lock Complex Bypass Channel, considered FEMA hazard mitigation funding for 507 Oakwood Drive, a DOTD repair CEA for Country Drive, a $100,000 agreement with Terrebonne Churches United Food Bank, and funding for an after‑school program plus a May 27 rezoning hearing for Munson Drive.

Presenter summarized several community development items that the committee discussed ahead of the full council meeting.

The committee moved to amend a condemnation order to allow more time for the property at 228 Dickson Avenue in Houma. Presenter then outlined a resolution urging continued federal, state and regional support for the Houma Navigational Canal (HNC) Lock Complex Bypass Channel project so vessels can bypass the lock when the Bayou Grand Caillou side closes before bad weather.

Presenter said the committee considered obligating FEMA hazard mitigation funds related to Hurricane Rita for the property at 507 Oakwood Drive. The committee also reviewed a cooperative endeavor agreement with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to repair Country Drive from the Saint Ann Bridge to the Klondyke Bridge, work prompted by wear during Bourg Bridge construction.

The committee proposed a $100,000 agreement with Terrebonne Churches United Food Bank to help cover rising food and labor costs as it serves more residents. Presenter also described support for the Youth Community at the School Program to operate an after‑school program; the committee called a public hearing for May 27 to consider adopting an ordinance to rezone 13443 Munson Drive from R1 to C2 at the request of Peninsula LLC.

These items will appear before the parish council for final consideration.
