Board meetings and strategic plans from St. James Parish
The commission reviewed and approved two variance requests. The first variance involved a property on Kilmer Street in Vacherie to permit the placement of a third structure, which was approved based on the sufficient size of the land segment. The second variance request for a mobile home at 3177 Domino Street in Vacherie, involving front and back setback adjustments, was also approved due to the size constraints of the existing lot.
The commission agenda was amended to include a presentation by Desire Line regarding the Comprehensive Plan and an update from legal counsel on pending litigation and land use items. The commission approved the resubdivision of the Hazel and Fleurange Gaudet Tract, as well as a property line setback variance for a metal building on S. Angelle Street. Additionally, the commission received an update on planning projects, including findings from community meetings and proposed revisions to land use ordinances, and heard a report regarding pending court proceedings.
The Planning Commission discussed land use map revisions for the Shady Grove area, considering a redesignation from Agricultural to Industrial to align with surrounding properties. Additionally, a request for a variance to place a residential building on a family estate was reviewed, along with a report from legal counsel.
The meeting included an update on 2026 ethics training and a discussion regarding a new business request from Hali Waguespack to determine the suitability of a property for a residential structure, including a house, shed, and pond. The Board reviewed administrative reports and state agency concerns related to pipeline maintenance, dredging, and infrastructure projects across the parish.
The Planning Commission reviewed various resubdivision requests for residential and commercial tracts, including applications from St. James Parish Government, Edward Becnel, Rodrigue Planting Company, Chase Malbrough, and David Duhon. Land use requests were evaluated for property in Convent, Vacherie, and Paulina, specifically regarding the construction of a residential home, agricultural pole barns, and farm equipment storage. Several setback variance requests for mobile homes and residential structures were also addressed, along with a report from legal counsel on future land use matters.
