Council narrows drainage servitudes for specific parcels and grants zoning exception for Breaux Bridge lot
Summary
The council approved ordinances reducing drainage-servitude widths on specified laterals (L-36A-2 and L-5B-12) and granted a Board of Adjustment exception allowing a single-family dwelling at 4861 Main Highway in Breaux Bridge, with unanimous votes recorded.
The St. Martin Parish Council on Dec. 2 adopted property-specific ordinances reducing the extent of Parish servitude rights on two drainage laterals and approved a zoning exception through its Board of Adjustment.
Ordinance No. 25-12-1526-OR reduces the servitude on the western side of lateral L-36A-2 adjacent to Parcel No. 04202A3342 to 32 feet where it crosses that parcel; the Public Works Department advised that 32 feet on the western side is sufficient for maintenance. Ordinance No. 25-12-1527-OR reduces the servitude on the southern side of lateral L-5B-12 adjacent to Parcel No. 0490001267 to 50 feet for the portion bordering that parcel. Both ordinances were adopted unanimously and become effective upon Parish President signature.
Separately, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, the council granted Brandon Northcutt an exception to permit construction of a single-family dwelling at 4861 Main Highway, Breaux Bridge (zoned C-1 Light Commercial), after a motion by David Poirier seconded by Ben Clay; the motion passed unanimously with one member excused.
