The Planning Commission approved a rear setback variance (Item 26-05) for a 14 x 70 mobile home at 1235 Old Vacherie Street in Vacherie, noting the lot previously had residential use though it does not meet the 12,000 sq ft minimum for new mobile home placements.

The Planning Commission on Feb. 23 approved a rear setback variance requested by Leslie William (Item 26-05) to place a 14-foot by 70-foot mobile home at 1235 Old Vacherie Street in Vacherie. The commission noted the subject parcel does not meet the 12,000-square-foot minimum required for new mobile-home placements under Chapter 70, Section 289, but that the lot had previously been developed with a mobile home, which the commission treated differently from a new placement on undeveloped land.

Commissioner Arthur Matherne moved to approve the variance; Commissioner Jamoine Picou seconded. Roll call recorded all present commissioners voting yes and two members absent. The motion carried and the variance was approved as requested.
