I'LL START OVER.

THERE IT IS.

THANK YOU.

MY NAME IS JIMMY RICKS.

I'M HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT, MR. HUNTER DOIC, WHO IS ALWAYS ALSO HERE.

UH, OUR GOAL IN THIS IS VERY SIMPLE, WAS TO PULL THE, UH, REQUIREMENTS OF ORDINANCE AND STATE STATUTE THAT THAT GOVERNS THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY AND COMPLY WITH THAT 100%.

AND WE HAVE DONE THAT ACCORDING TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

I MEAN, ACCORDING TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT.

AND SO WE'RE REQUESTING PRELIMINARY PRO APPROVAL BASED ON 100% COMPLIANCE WITH EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK.

UH, WE ALSO HAVE OUR, UH, ENGINEER OF RECORD HERE FOR TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S VERY RARE THAT DEVELOPMENT LIKE THIS WON'T GARNER SOME TYPE OF TECH TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

SO WE WE'LL, WE'RE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS ALSO.

THANK YOU.

DO Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME? I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

I HAVE A CALL FOR JAMES REX.

OH, HONOR DUO DOIG.

HOW Y'ALL DOING THIS EVENING? MY NAME'S HUNTER DUICK.

UM, I AM THE DEVELOPER.

UM, AND JUST TO FOLLOW UP WHAT MR. JIMMY SAID, UH, WE WANTED TO DO EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK, A HUNDRED PERCENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH, UH, YOU KNOW, EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN LAID OUT FOR US.

UH, AND JUST WANNA COME UP HERE AND, UH, SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND IF Y'ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE HAVEN'T ASKED FOR ANY VARIANCES, UM, TO SPEAK OF.

SO, UM, WE JUST WANNA DO EVERYTHING BY THE BOOK AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU.

OUR NEXT CARD IS FOR JOHN DLE.

[00:10:08]

OKAY.

JOHN DANGLE, 31 39.

31 CREEK SHADOW COURT.

UM, SO, UM, I, UH, SUBMITTED A CARD IN SUPPORT OF THIS, UH, PROJECT BASED ON LOOKING AT THE PLANS AND IF I UNDERSTOOD 'EM CORRECTLY.

AND I'M NOT A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT, BUT THERE ARE THREE FEATURES THAT SEEMED, UH, IMPORTANT AND THAT WE NEED TO SEE MORE OF FOR PROJECTS, UM, OF THIS TYPE.

AND THAT WAS A NATURAL RIPARIAN BUFFER BETWEEN THE SUBDIVISION AND WHITE BAYOU, WHICH BORDERS THE EASTERN SIDE.

AND IT'S A TRIBUTARY OF THE COMEY RIVER.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE LAND CLOSE TO THE BAYOU IS IN THE FLOOD ZONE.

THERE'S ALSO A DESIGNATED PROTECTED TREE CANOPY, WHICH I, I UNDERSTOOD CORRECTLY WILL ALSO BE PROTECTED.

AND THEN THERE'S A DESIGNATED WETLAND AREA, AND IT DIDN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT THAT, BUT I HOPE THAT THAT ALSO WOULD BE, UH, PROTECTED IN THE PROJECT.

NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE INDICATED, AND I KNOW THAT THE, UH, ENGINEER CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS.

BUT ANYWAY, IF I'VE UNDERSTOOD ALL THAT CORRECTLY, THEN I JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR THOSE, UH, ELEMENTS OF THIS PROJECT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

WE HAVE THREE ADDITIONAL SPEAKER CARDS THAT ARE IN FAVOR THAT DO NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

THOSE ARE FOR BEN PUCKETT, ROBERT PEARSON AND JOHN WATSON.

WE HAVE ONE CARD IN OPPOSITION, AND THAT IS FOR GEORGE MOORE.

GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS GEORGE MOORE, 12 8 20 PLANK ROAD BAKER.

NOW, I PUT, UM, MY NAME DOWN IN OPPOSITION, NOT NECESSARILY BECAUSE I OPPOSED THE PROJECT.

I JUST HAVE SOME QUESTIONS AND I CAN'T SAY I APPROVE THE PROJECT BECAUSE MY QUESTIONS ARE NOT ANSWERED YET.

I DON'T KNOW THE DEVELOPER.

UM, MY PROPERTY IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY HERE.

I'LL BE IMPACTED BY AT LEAST, UH, A DOZEN OR SO OF THE LOTS THAT HE HAS PROPOSED.

NOW CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO YOUR REPORT PLANNING HIS ZONING COMMISSION REPORT ON PAGE THREE.

ON PAGE THREE OF YOUR REPORT, YOU SHOW THOSE THAT WERE CONTACTED WITH REGARD TO THIS PROPERTY.

AND THAT'S THE ONES IN YELLOW ROSE PROPERTY IS IN RED.

IF YOU LOOK DIRECTLY TO THE, LET'S SEE, NORTH WEST CORNER OF THE RED, YOU'LL SEE A BIG YELLOW BLOCK THERE.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE A LITTLE NARROWER PIECE THAT GOES OUT TO PLANK ROAD.

THAT'S MY PROPERTY.

THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.

AND SO, AGAIN, I'M IMPACTED BY THIS PROPOSED SUBDIVISION.

NOW, I'M NOT A REPRESENTATIVE OF MY SUBDIVISION.

I'M NOT THE SUBDIVISION PRESIDENT, BUT I HAVE A QUESTION.

ONLY THOSE WITHIN 300 FEET OF THE PROPERTY WERE NOTIFIED.

WE HAVE OVER 150, 160 LOTS, AND SOMEBODY LIVES ON EACH ONE OF THOSE LOTS IN BRENTWOOD PLACE SUBDIVISION.

SO YOU SEE NOBODY HERE BECAUSE NOBODY KNEW ABOUT IT.

NOBODY WAS CONTACTED OR NOT.

UH, I CAN'T SAY NOBODY WAS CONTACTED.

YOU CONTACTED ABOUT A FOURTH OF THE RESIDENCE OF THE SUBDIVISION AND ALL THOSE WHITE SPACES THERE WHERE YOU SEE THOSE BLOCKS OR WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT, WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THEIR BACK DOOR.

UH, SO SUGGESTION, I KNOW WHATEVER THE REGULATIONS ARE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, BUT, UH, YOU, LET'S SAY YOU LIVE IN BRENTWOOD, JUST CAUSE I'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1940 SECONDS LEFT, SIR.

I MEAN, ABOUT 40 SECONDS, FOUR SECONDS.

40.

40, OKAY.

YES, SIR.

OKAY.

I'VE LIVED THERE SINCE 1979.

I BUILT THE HOUSE WHERE I AM IN 2001.

I I'M JUST SAD MY NEIGHBORS DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO KNOW ABOUT THE PROJECT.

THAT'S ALL.

BUT WHAT I WANNA KNOW ABOUT MY PROPERTY IS THE DRAINAGE.

UH, WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO ABOUT THE DRAINAGE, MAKE SURE IT'S NOT COMING.

MY, AND ALSO THE BARRIER.

WHAT BARRIER ARE THEY GONNA PUT BETWEEN MY HOME AND THEIR SUBDIVISION? SO IF THEY CAN ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS, I'D

[00:15:01]

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR FIVE MINUTE REBUTTAL.

UH, I'LL ADDRESS HIS DRAINAGE QUESTION FIRST, AND I'LL LOOK AT THE PROPERTY OF MR. MOORE.

UH, EACH OF THESE LOTS WILL HAVE DEDICATED, UH, DRAINAGE SERVITUDE ON THE REAR, WHICH, UM, REQUIREMENTS WOULD PROHIBIT THE NEW DEVELOPMENT FROM DRAINING ONTO HIS PROPERTY.

IF IT CURRENTLY DRAINS ONTO HIS PROPERTY, WE WILL COLLECT IT PRIOR TO THAT BATTERY LINE AND ROUTE IT BACK TO OUR DRAINAGE SYSTEM AND THE DETENTION, THE DETENTION AREA TO THE EAST.

OTHER WORDS, BEFORE DRAINING OFFSITE ONTO MR. MOORE'S PROPERTY, BE COLLECTED, SUBSURFACE AND ROUTED TO THE DETENTION STORAGE AREA, WAS THAT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS THE, UH, QUESTION FOR DRAINAGE? BECAUSE WE WON'T, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO FLOW ONTO HIS PROPERTY.

WE'LL COLLECT IT AND ROUTE IT.

UH, I CAN'T ADDRESS THE QUESTION REGARDING, UH, MAIL OUTS.

I BELIEVE THAT'S, THAT'S PUBLIC POLICY TO MAIL WITHIN 300 FEET.

SO ANYTHING WITHIN THIS BOUNDARY, 300 FEET WE'RE NOTIFIED.

UH, AND THAT'S, THAT'S DONE ADMINISTRATIVELY, NOT BY THE DEVELOPMENT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU.

OKAY.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONERS.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND BEFORE INVITING QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS, UH, FROM THE COMMISSION, I'LL ASK, UH, DIRECTOR HOLCOMB TO SPEAK BRIEFLY ON THE NOTIFICATION, UH, PROCESS.

ALL REQUIRED FORMAL NOTIFICATION WAS FOLLOWED PROPERLY.

THE, UH, COMMON PRACTICE IN THE CODE THAT WE'RE REGULATED BY IS TO NOTIFY ALL PROPERTY OWNERS, UH, FROM 300 FEET FROM THE OUTER EXTREMITIES OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S CORRECT.

EVERYONE IN YELLOW ON THIS MAP RECEIVED A FORMAL NOTE.

NOTICE A POSTCARD FROM OUR OFFICE THAT WAS MAILED, UH, IN, IN, IN PROPER NOTICE PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.

IF THERE IS A KNOWN CIVIC ASSOCIATION OR A POINT OF CONTACT ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD REGISTRY, WE SEND AN ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION TO THAT NEIGHBORHOOD CONTACT POINT PERSON.

I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU IN ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD, UH, FOR ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATIONS TO FILL OUT, UH, OUR, OUR NEIGHBORHOOD REGISTRY OR, OR GIVE STAFF A CONTACT.

AND WE WILL HAPPILY ADD YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD REGISTRY FOR ANY ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATIONS FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE FUTURE THAT MAY IMPACT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.

UM, IN ADDITION TO THE POSTCARD NOTIFICATION THAT OUR OFFICE DOES, IT WAS POSTED PROPERLY AND LEGALLY IN THE ADVOCATE, UH, ON OUR PRELIMINARY AGENDA, WHICH IS POSTED THE VERY NEXT DAY ON OUR WEBSITE.

WHEN THIS APPLICATION CAME IN ALONG WITH THE FORMAL NOTIFICATION OF THE FINAL AGENDA, THAT WAS AGAIN, UH, PUBLISHED AND PUSHED OUT, UH, THROUGH THE AGENDA CENTER, UM, BY OUR OFFICE.

UM, ALL I CAN DO IS, IS CONFIRM THAT THE PROPER NOTIFICATIONS WERE FOLLOWED FOR THIS CASE IN EVERY OTHER CASE ON THIS AGENDA.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

DIRECTOR, HOLCOMB, COMMISSION MEMBERS, QUESTIONS? COMMENTS, UH, FOR THIS ITEM? COMMISSIONER BANKS? YES.

UM, MR. MOORE? I, I DID, UM, WOULD YOU LIKE MR. MOORE TO COME BACK TO THE PODIUM? COMMISSIONER BANKS? UM, IF YOU LIKE, JUST BASICALLY A STATEMENT.

I DID SPEAK TO ABOUT THREE, UH, OF THE BRENTWOOD ME WHO, UH, SAID THEY KNEW SOMETHING WAS HAPPENING, BUT THEY DID NOT KNOW FOR SURE.

UH, I'M NOT SURE IF THEY WERE WITHIN THE 300, BUT I DID, I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

SO, UM, AFTER MEETING WITH THE DEVELOPERS, I DID HAVE AN EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION WITH PLANNING WITH, UM, AS IT RELATES TO THE NOTIFICATION AS WELL.

UM, THE, WHAT GAVE ME, UM, A, A LITTLE, UM, GO AHEAD.

IN APPROVING THIS IS, RIGHT NOW, THIS IS JUST A PLOT GRAB OF, OF THE DEVELOPMENT FOR THE DIFFERENT LOT, THE DIFFERENT LOTS.

ONCE IT MOVES TO THE STAGE OF A DEVELOPER OR SOMEONE TRYING TO BUILD HOMES AS CUSTOMER, I HAVE A MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DID GET ONE OPPOSITION FROM SOMEONE WHO, UH, I, I, I KNOW I, UM, PLAN TO, I JUST GOT THE NOTICE, BUT I PLAN TO REACH OUT TO THEM AS WELL, UM, TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS JUST BASICALLY, UH, THE LOT, THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE FEATURES AS IT RELATES TO, UM, THE WETLANDS THAT THIS DEVELOPER HAS BEEN IN COMMUNICATION

[00:20:01]

BUT ALONG THIS ENTIRE PROCESS, YOU KNOW, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALL KNOW, IT'S JUST THAT THIS IS JUST DRAWING LINES AND, UM, PREPARING IT FOR POTENTIAL DEVELOPER, I MEAN, POTENTIAL HOMEOWNERS TO PURCHASE A LOT AND BUILD A HOME.

BUT DEFINITELY I DO ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPERS ALSO TO EXCHANGE NUMBERS WITH YOU SO THAT YOU CAN BE WELL INFORMED AS YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO DO.

SO.

WHAT, DID YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU ALLOW ME? JUST A MINUTE OR TWO.

THREE MINUTES IS A VERY SHORT TIME.

I APOLOGIZE.

BUT, UH, THE OTHER CONCERN I HAD WAS THAT ONE THING I REALLY LOVE ABOUT MY SUBDIVISION ON BRENTWOOD IS THAT MM-HMM.

, AS I SAID, I MOVED IN THERE IN 1979, UM, ONE WAY IN OFF PLAN ROAD AND ONE WAY OUT.

I LOVE IT.

I LOVE IT AS WELL.

HOWEVER, NOW, UH, THE NEW SUBDIVISION IS GONNA BE ADJACENT AND ATTACHED BY A STREET, BY CREOLE.

AND SO THAT'S GONNA ALLOW THE 109 LOTS IN THE NEW SUBDIVISION TO EGRESS THROUGH STONES VIEW.

NOW AT STONES VIEW AND PLANK ROAD, UH, THERE'S ABOUT A 30,000 CAR TRAFFIC COUNT, OF COURSE, COMING OUT ON PLANK ROAD.

UM, SO NOW YOU HAVE THE, UH, OVER 150 OR 60 LOTS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF STONE VIEW.

AND NOW YOU HAVE THE 109 LOT THAT'S COMING OUT OF THE LELAND LAKES, UH, THAT IS ATTACHED NOW TO, UH, TO THE, UH, TO OUR SUBDIVISION.

SO I JUST, WELL, IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING, THEY'RE COMING OFF OF COMME, IS THAT CORRECT? YEAH.

THEY'RE NOT GONNA BE COMING OFF OF, UH, OR NOR WILL IT THERE BE AN ENTRANCE OR AN EXIT FROM THE BACK OF, UM, OF BRENTWOOD.

BUT AGAIN, YOU ARE HEAD OF THE GAME AND BEING ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

I ALSO JUST, YOU KNOW, WANNA SAY THAT FOR 10 YEARS I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE, THE MEMBERS OF BRENTWOOD, NOT ONLY TO HAVE TO HAVE AN HOA I'VE TRIED AND BEEN VERY UNSUCCESSFUL.

AND ALSO BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT UNIQUE, WONDERFUL FEATURE OF ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT.

YOU ALL ARE WHAT I CONSIDER THE, THE PERFECT CRIME DISTRICT.

AND SO THOSE ARE TWO THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THAT IT'S THAT COLLECTIVITY THAT WILL WORK.

UM, EVEN WHEN I HAVE MEETINGS IN BRENTWOOD.

CAUSE YOU ALL HAVE A, A LITTLE BRICK PARK IN THE BACK THAT TO ME, YOU KNOW, COULD BE PART OF YOUR ASSOCIATION BUILDING IT UP.

SO YOU'RE, YOU'RE PART OF THE REASONS, UM, THAT I WOULD SAY BRENTWOOD ISN'T HERE, IS BECAUSE BRENTWOOD RESIDENTS ARE EXTREMELY SATISFIED ABOUT THE WAY THINGS ARE.

EXACTLY.

AND SO I COMMEND YOU FOR BEING INVOLVED, AND I WOULD, UH, LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU ON GETTING A HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION, A CRIME DISTRICT.

AND OF COURSE, ALONG WITH THAT, UM, THE DEVELOPERS ABSOLUTELY MUST WORK WITH YOU ON YOUR CONCERNS.

SO I'M GIVING YOU THAT NOW AND, UH, I'VE MET WITH THEM AND I BELIEVE IF YOU ALL EXCHANGED NUMBERS, THEY DEFINITELY WOULD BE, UM, OPPORTUNITY COMMUNICATION.

WELL, I DO APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND I, I'M NOT A POLITICAL PERSON, SO I'M NOT, BUT YOU'RE A TAXPAYER.

I'M NOT THE GUY THAT MAKES YOU POLITICAL.

I, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY NEIGHBORS, HOWEVER, I'M NOT THE SPOKESMAN OR MY NEIGHBORS.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

I'M GONNA BE IMPACTED PERSONALLY.

YEAH.

AND SO I'M HERE FOR ME.

OH, OKAY.

AND, AND I'M CONCERNED, AND I SPOKE UP FOR MY NEIGHBORS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT HERE, BECAUSE I THINK THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS IS NOT FOR A WORKING PERSON IN MY OPINION.

BUT THAT'S, YOU KNOW, YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE REQUIRED TO DO.

YEAH.

COUNCIL MEMBER, COMMISSIONER, BANKS, I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR MIC IS ON, OR ARE YOU CLOSE? GOOD.

I THOUGHT I WAS FINISHED A COMMUNITY MEETING.

OKAY.

THANK YOU.

APPRECIATE IT.

RIGHT.

THIS IS GEORGE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

OTHER THAN THAT, I HAVE NO, NO ISSUES WITH IT.

IT'LL IMPROVE MY PROPERTY VALUE.

OKAY.

AND SO I WONDERED IF THERE, TOO,

[00:30:01]

MAYBE A QUESTION MORE FOR YOU OR FOR THE APPLICANT.

UH, AND YOU JUST CAN'T TELL FROM THE PLAN.

IT SAYS IT'S 90% IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA, BUT, UM, ANY ONE OF THESE PROJECTS THAT'S ADJACENT TO A WATERWAY, UH, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A QUESTION THAT SHOULD BE ANSWERED.

I THINK.

SO, UH, IF SOME, IF THE PARISH CAN ANSWER IT, UH, GREAT.

THEY WANNA DO IT BETTER THAN WHAT IT IS NOW.

WE HAVE NO, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID, IT'S, WE HAVE NO OPPOSITION TO THAT.

UM, LIKE I SAID, WE'RE NOT DISTURBING ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DRIVEWAY.

UM, AND SO FOR THE DRAINAGE, IT'S, WE'RE GONNA OPERATE THE SAME WAY THAT WE ALWAYS DO, UM, WHERE WE'RE NOT GOING TO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE FOLKS AROUND US.

YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BY LAW.

SO WE'RE GONNA FOLLOW THOSE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVENING, DEREK MURPHY OF QUALITY ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING,

[00:35:01]

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR THIS.

THIS MULTI-FAMILY, UH, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTLY HAS 324 UNITS, UH, WITH THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED DENSITY OF 437 UNITS.

WE, UH, OFFER A HIGH SCALE, UM, DEVELOPMENT HERE WITH A LOT OF AMENITIES SUCH AS DOG PARKS, PLAYGROUNDS, POOL, ALL THOSE OTHER AMENITIES.

UM, THIS IS IN A SENSITIVE AREA, AS Y'ALL ALL MIGHT KNOW FROM A, FROM A, UH, A FLOODPLAIN STANDPOINT.

UH, THIS COMMISSION, UH, APPROVED ANOTHER SUBDIVISION ADJACENT TO THIS AUTUMN GARDENS.

THE DRAINAGE PLAN FOR FOUR SEASONS IS ACTUALLY MET AT, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE POND SHOWING ON THIS, ON THIS PLAN, AS WELL AS THE 30 ACRES OF POND ON AUTUMN GARDENS.

THIS IS BASICALLY A REGIONAL TYPE APPROACH, LOOKING AT THE DRAINAGE FROM NOT JUST THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT THE OTHER DEVELOPMENT ADJACENT TO IT.

UM, BETWEEN THESE, UH, THESE TWO DEVELOPMENTS, WE'LL, WE'LL ACTUALLY EXCEED THE ENHANCED DRAINAGE DESIGN AS REQUIRED TODAY.

WE'LL ACTUALLY HAVE A REDUCTION OF NEARLY 75% IN THE 10 TO 25.

AND THE A HUNDRED YEAR STORM IS THE SAME AS THE AUTUMN.

WE HAVE WENT THROUGH EXTENSIVE MODELING OF ELBOW VOLUME.

WE'VE WENT THROUGH EXTENSIVE MODELING OF THIS ENTIRE REGION.

UH, AND AN ELBOW VALUE ITSELF WILL, WILL BE REDUCING THE PEAKS IN THE 10 YEAR, 25 YEAR, AND A HUNDRED YEAR STORM BY 10%.

SO NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A 75% REDUCTION FROM OUR SITE, WE'LL HAVE A, WE HAVE A 10% REDUCTION INSIDE ELBOW VALUE ITSELF, WHICH IS A ACCOMPLISHMENT.

UH, AS Y'ALL KNOW, LAST MONTH THIS PROJECT WAS DEFERRED.

SINCE THEN, WE HAVE MET WITH THE COUNCIL MEMBER.

WE HAVE MET WITH THE HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION BOARD FROM HUNTER TRACE.

WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UH, DISCUSSED WITH THEM EVERYTHING FROM DRAINAGE TO WHAT, WHAT CAN GO HERE, WHAT, WHAT THIS DEVELOPMENT IS, AND TRAFFIC AND THE CONNECTION, UH, CHANGED IN THE APPLICATION BETWEEN LAST MONTH AND THIS MONTH WAS THE POSSIBILITY OF A, OF A, THE PRIMARY CONNECTION BEING REMOVED FROM BURBANK TO SHEVA MEMORIAL DRIVE.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH RYAN, UH, AND STAFF AS WELL AS D P W, OUR DEPARTMENT OF UH, DEVELOPMENT TO LOOKING AT THAT POSSIBILITY.

UH, RIGHT NOW WE DON'T HAVE ALL THOSE ANSWERS.

SO WE HAVE A PRIMARY, BUT WE ALSO PUT SOME NOTES ON THERE THAT WE'LL LOOK AT, AT A DIFFERENT ACCESS AS WELL.

UM, WE THINK WE HAVE ADDRESSED EVERYTHING.

WE, WE DO HAVE STAFF, UH, WE DO HAVE STAFF OF RECOMMENDATION.

WE DO HAVE DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT, DRC RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL.

WE'VE LOOKED AT THIS EXTENSIVELY.

WE'VE MODELED THIS ENTIRE AREA FROM A DRAINAGE STANDPOINT.

TONIGHT WE'RE ASKING FOR YOUR APPROVAL FOR THIS PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE.

THANK YOU.

JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU GUYS A COUPLE PICTURES.

JUST PICTURES WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.

HIGH END DEVELOPMENT.

THIS IS THE KIND OF, UH, WORK THAT THEY DO.

UM, WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OTHER ONES IN THE AREA, AND SO JUST WANTED Y'ALL TO BE ABLE TO SEE THAT.

BUT LEAVE THE REST OF WHAT DEREK SAID.

OKAY, THANK YOU MS. AGAN.

WE HAVE ONE ADDITIONAL CARD FROM CHAD BARBER WHO'S IN FAVOR BUT DOES NOT WISH TO SPEAK.

WE HAVE ONE CARD IN OPPOSITION FROM JOHN DAAL.

UH, THANK YOU.

SO YEAH, THE QUESTIONS THAT COME UP, UH, FOR EACH NEW PROJECT ALONG BURBANK, WHERE ANOTHER CHUNK OF THIS FLOODPLAIN, UH, FOREST AND THE SPECIAL, UH, FLOOD HAZARD AREA.

THIS PROJECT'S A HUNDRED PERCENT IN THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, SO I'M GLAD THERE'S MODELING OF ELBOW BAYOU.

IT'S A TRIBUTARY OF BAYOU FOUNTAIN.

SO AS THIS TRACT IS ELEVATED, UM, FOR THE HOMES, UH, THAT AREA, YOU KNOW, ALONG THE BAYOU, WHICH IS IN A DRAINAGE SERVITUDE, I THINK A 250 FOOT DRAINAGE SERVITUDE.

BUT THE WHOLE THING IS LOW BECAUSE IT IS IN THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREA.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WE, WE HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT, AND THE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THE AREA ARE GETTING WORSE.

UM, EACH DEVELOPER DOES THEIR MODELING.

WE ASSUME THE PARISH IS DOING MODELING FOR THE CUMULATIVE IMPACTS OF CHUNK AFTER CHUNK OF THIS AREA BEING DEVELOPED.

AND WE KNOW THERE ARE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS ALONG BAYOU FOUNTAIN.

UH, THE WHOLE AREA IS FLAT, BUT IT DOES FALL DOWN TOWARDS BAYOU MANSHACK.

[00:40:01]

UM, SO ANYWAY, UM, YOU KNOW, IT NEEDS TO BE ENTERED INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD THAT FOLKS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.

AND HOPEFULLY THE DRAINAGE ASPECT, UH, IS ADDRESSED BY THE ENGINEERS.

BUT AGAIN, WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MAP ON THE PROJECT, UH, AND A LONG BURBANK DRIVE, WHAT'S HAPPENING, UH, IT'S JUST PEACE AFTER PEACE IS BEING TAKEN AND WITH THE MITIGATION FROM THE PONDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I UNDERSTAND.

BUT THE CUMULATIVE IMPACT IS STILL A MATTER OF CONCERN.

AND THE PARISH MADE A DECISION SOMETIME BACK THAT THEY WERE GOING TO ALLOW THAT WHOLE THING TO BE DEVELOPED, AND THEY CHANGED THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN TO FACILITATE THAT.

THAT ALL SHOULD BE, SHOULD BE REMARKED UPON THE PROCESS THAT'S IN PLACE.

YOU KNOW, THIS COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN IS ROUTINELY CHANGED TO ALLOW A PROJECT AFTER PROJECT AS WELL.

SO ANYWAY, THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

UM, I WANNA GET THAT INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD, HOPE THAT IT'S ALL BEING ADDRESSED.

BUT, UM, WHAT ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED IS THE DECISION OF THE PARISH TO, UM, BASICALLY, UH, YOU KNOW, GIVE UP THAT HUGE AREA FOR THE MOST PART, UH, BETWEEN BURBANK AND NICHOLSON.

SO, UM, IT'S NOT TOO LATE.

AND THERE IS A STORMWATER MASTER PLAN THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED, UH, TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING BECAUSE WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, THAT'S A 20 YEAR PLAN, AND IT INVOLVES CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS THAT NEED FUNDING, BUT YOU'RE RUNNING AHEAD OF IT, UH, IN ALLOWING DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPECIAL FLOOD HAZARD AREAS AND THE FLOOD PLAIN.

AND IT MAY NEVER CATCH UP.

JUST LIKE THE COMEY RIVER DIVERSION IS 30 YEARS OLD FROM A FLOOD PROBLEM THAT EXISTED AT THE TIME IT WAS FIRST PROPOSED.

IT'S GONNA HELP WHEN THEY FINALLY FINISH IT, BUT WE RAN WAY AHEAD OF THAT IN TERMS OF THE BENEFITS THAT IT'S GOING TO DELIVER BECAUSE IT'S A DIFFERENT WATERSHED.

SO ANYWAY, I'M AT THE LIMIT OF MY TIME.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. DAYLE.

I'LL INVITE THE APPLICANT BACK FOR A REBUTTAL OR TO ADDRESS ANY, UH, COMMENTS.

YEAH, A FEW, FEW, UH, THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND.

UH, ELBOW BAYOU HAS A 250 FOOT SERVITUDE THAT WE ARE NOT AFFECTING.

WE'RE NOT ENCROACHING, WE ARE NOT, UH, TOUCHING IT AT ALL.

WE'RE LEAVING IT NATURAL IN ORDER TO ALLOW EXPANSION IF EVER REQUIRED BY THE, BY THE PARISH.

UH, YOU KNOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE ENHANCED DRAINAGE DESIGN, WE WERE HELD TO A, TO A 10 YEAR STANDARD, THEN A 25 YEAR STANDARD.

THE ENHANCED DRAINAGE CAME IN AND WANTED A 10% REDUCTION.

WE ARE OFFERING A 75% REDUCTION FROM OUR SITE GOING INTO ELBOW VALUE AND AN OVERALL 10% REDUCTION INSIDE L VALUE, WHICH IS GROSSLY, UH, ABOVE THE MINIMUM REQUIRED.

THE ENHANCED DRAINAGE DESIGN.

WE KNOW THE COMPLEXITIES OF THIS AREA.

WE HAVE MODELED IT, AND WE WERE HELD PROBABLY TO A HIGHER STANDARD BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THIS PROJECT AND THESE PROJECTS IN THIS AREA BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITIES IN HERE AND THE ISSUES OUT THERE OUT IN THIS, IN THIS REGION.

SO WE HAVE BASICALLY BEEN ASKED TO DO A MODEL WHICH, UH, SURPASSES MOST OF WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST.

THE OTHER THING IS, THIS IS THE ONLY PROJECT WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY ON IN EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH BECAUSE OF CUZ OF THE TRAFFIC IN THE AREA AND BECAUSE OF THE CONNECTIONS.

AND WE'RE GONNA BE DOING THAT.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE OTHER, YOU KNOW, ALL THESE DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS AREA.

SO WE ARE BEING, THIS IS THE FIRST STEP.

WE HAVE A LOT, A LONG WAY TO GO, BUT WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE CONCERNS, UH, IN MY OPINION, BEYOND A SHOW DOUBT, WE INCREASING, UH, STORAGE IN THE FLOOD PLAIN.

WE'RE REDUCING FLOW FROM OUR SITE, FROM OUR DEVELOPMENTS.

WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO ASK FOR YOUR APPROVAL AND ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.

THANK YOU.

AT THIS TIME, I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND INVITE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE COMMISSION.

I SHARE MCGRAW.

YEAH, I'VE LOOKED AT THE OTHER TWO PROJECTS THAT, UH, THAT THIS DEVELOPER HAS PUT IN IN RECENT TIME, PARTICULARLY SOME OF THE, UM, SOME OF THE FLOOD STORAGE.

I, I, I'VE GOTTA SAY, WE'VE SEEN SOME PROJECTS WHERE, UH, PEOPLE TRY TO GET BY WITH THE ABSOLUTE MINIMUM.

UH, THIS PROJECT DEFINITELY GOES FAR AND ABOVE THAT.

UM, I LIKE THE IDEA THAT THEY'RE TAKING A MORE COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL, NOT JUST PROJECT BY PROJECT APPROACH.

UH, DO HAVE A LITTLE CONCERN WITH THE, UH,

[00:45:01]

BUT, UM, I THINK THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND, I, I'VE, I'M GONNA MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE.

THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR TO APPROVE SECOND FROM VICE CHAIRMAN GR SECOND BY COMMISSIONER BANKS.

ARE THERE ANY OBJECTIONS OR ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? THERE'S A COMMENT FROM, UH, COMMISSIONER ER.

YEAH, SO THIS IS AN AREA THAT I'VE ALWAYS RIGHT THERE BY ELBOW BAYOU ALONG BURBANK, UH, THAT I'VE HAD A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT.

UM, I'M NOT A FAN OF THE DEVELOPMENT RIGHT THERE, UH, BUT I DO APPLAUD THE EFFORT THAT'S GONE INTO THIS.

UM, I KNOW THERE WAS A COUPLE OTHER DEVELOPMENTS WE'VE HAD A FEW MONTHS BACK, UM, AS COMMISSIONER GR HAD MENTIONED THAT, BUT IN THIS APPROACH TO LOOKING AT THIS, UH, ON HOW THE, ON THE DRAINAGE AS A WHOLE IN THAT AREA AND HOW Y'ALL DID THE MODELING.

SO IT'S, UM, NOT STILL NOT SOMETHING IDEAL THAT, THAT THEY LIKE, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE DEVELOPING THE WAY IT'S ZONED, BUT IT'S, UM, SO I DO DO WANT IT TO, TO COMMENT, UH, SAY THAT THINK IT'S A GOOD THING THAT Y'ALL DID TO LOOK AT EVERYTHING AS A WHOLE.

UM, AND SOME OF THE REDUCTION THAT YOU, THAT YOU MENTIONED, I THINK IS, IS IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO NOTE.

SO THAT WAS ALL.

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER ALLEN.

ANY ADDITIONAL COMMENTS? THERE'S A MOTION ON THE FLOOR AND A SECOND TO APPROVE THIS ITEM.

IF THERE ARE NO OBJECTIONS AND THAT ITEM HAS BEEN APPROVED AT THIS TIME.

WE'LL MOVE ON TO COMMUNICATIONS BEGINNING WITH THE, I'M SORRY, 16
