Property owner asks to delay oversized accessory-building request in Slidell
Summary
A Slidell property owner seeking a variance for a 6,600 sq ft accessory building agreed to postpone her case after board members questioned the size and suggested alternatives; the applicant will work with staff and request neighbor signatures before returning.
Carrie Landry, the applicant for a variance to allow a 6,600-square-foot accessory building on a 2.83-acre Slidell parcel, asked the Board of Adjustments to postpone her case to the September meeting while she obtains written neighbor consent and explores scaling the request. Staff had advised the board that no hardship had been demonstrated to support the requested variance.
Board members expressed concern that the proposed building was substantially larger than the residence and suggested options including reducing the building footprint, withdrawing the application to refile, or postponing to work with staff on an amended plan. Landry agreed to the postponement and to coordinate with staff on revised dimensions and neighbor sign-off.
