Council considers variance request for 1,600 sq ft accessory structure at Nursery Highway
A variance was requested to allow a 1,600-square-foot accessory storage building at 1193 Nursery Highway to exceed the parish's size limit for wet flood-proofing purposes; staff noted the home is an older pre-FIRM structure and the waiver is sought to prevent rain runoff into the existing home.
The full story
Council convened as the board of appeals to hear a petition by Sean Albert for a variance to allow an accessory structure larger than the parish square-footage limit at 1193 Nursery Highway. Claire Richard (staff) explained that the storage building is 1,600 square feet—100 square feet larger than the restriction—and that it will be wet flood-proofed without plumbing and with limited electrical, explaining the waiver is sought because the existing residence is a pre-FIRM home located at ground level.
