Parish planning board approves pond-setback variance at 4351 Shoe Peak Road
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Board approved a variance reducing required side-yard pond setbacks from 50 feet to 20 feet at 4351 Shoe Peak Road in Ward 4 after staff recommended approval; the board recorded no opposition and attached standard site-plan conditions.
On May 19, 2026, the Calcasieu Parish Planning and Zoning Board approved a variance for 4351 Shoe Peak Road in Ward 4 that reduces the required east and west side-yard setback for a pond from 50 feet to 20 feet. The applicant is listed as Ryan Jagno.
Planning staff (identified in the meeting as Miss Chen) described the property and said the dirt excavated from the pond will remain on-site to meet required building elevation standards. Staff recommended the variance with conditions similar to the prior item: development must adhere to the site plan on file, the Division of Planning and Development director or designee may authorize technical or engineering adjustments discovered during development, and a development permit must be obtained.
No blue cards or public opposition were recorded. Art Little moved to approve the variance; Latricia Cobb seconded. The chair announced the motion passed.
The board noted that variance cases are final decisions of this body and that standard permitting steps follow approval. The transcript does not show a roll-call tally by name; the announcement of approval followed the standard “All in favor state aye” call and the chair’s declaration that the motion passed.
