AND ESPECIALLY WITH PARTNERING WITH BRECK AND VISIT BURR AND BRINGING IN A LOT OF DIFFERENT A LOT OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AN INDOOR SPORT LIKE THAT.

IT'S BEEN PRETTY COOL. AND SOMETHING THAT OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IS BEING ABLE TO CONSUME ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

AND RIGHT NOW, CURRENTLY THE ZONE THE ZONING DOES NOT ALLOW US TO DO THAT.

SO, I WANTED TO GO THROUGH THE CORRECT MOTIONS AND CHANNELS TO BE ABLE TO DO IT.

THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M HERE, REPRESENTING THE BUSINESS TO BE ABLE TO DO SO.

AND SO WHAT'S THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS? PICKLEBALL.

COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO COUNTY COMMISSION ACTION. MOTION TO APPROVE CARRIED SIX ZERO.

IS THE APPLICANT HERE FOR THIS? GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS GEORGE MCCALLUM WITH JABRO ENTERPRISES, THE DEVELOPER FOR STILLWATER SUBDIVISION.

[00:05:01]

IT IS ZONED TWO DIFFERENT WAYS RIGHT NOW IT IS ZONED A-1 AND THERE IS A CORNER ON THE SOUTHWEST CORNER THAT IS COMMERCIAL.

AND WITH THAT, WE'RE LOOKING TO REZONE IT TO A 2.7.

WE'RE GOING TO DEVELOP THE MAJORITY OF THE PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE ON THE, THE LEFT, THE EAST, THE WESTERN SIDE OF IT, THE EASTERN SIDE IS MORE IN THE FLOODWAY, CLOSER TO WHITE BAYOU.

SO THAT'S ALL GOING TO BE A LOT OF GREEN SPACE.

WE'LL PROBABLY HAVE MORE THAN FOUR TIMES THE REQUIRED GREEN SPACE, BECAUSE WE'RE USING IT TO OVERSIZE THE POND, HELP OUT WITH STORMWATER RETENTION, AND PROVIDE JUST A LOT OF GREEN SPACE.

AND I DO HAVE MY ENGINEER HERE TO TO SPEAK WITH, TO SPEAK ON OUR BEHALF TO WITH ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. WE ALSO HAVE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR.

LANCE ROBICHAUD. IS THAT YOUR ENGINEER? YES, I'M THE ENGINEER.

I CAN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE. SO WHEN IT GETS TO THE COUNCIL, IF THERE'S QUESTIONS, WE CAN CALL YOU UP. BUT IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO STATE BEFOREHAND? NO, I CAN.

OKAY. OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS PROJECT? OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OPPOSITION. I HAVE KIMBERLY LEAP.

GOOD AFTERNOON. COUNCIL MEMBERS AND STAFF. MY NAME IS KIMBERLY LEAP, AND I'VE LIVED ON KENNEDY DRIVE SINCE 1997.

TODAY, I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE ON AND AROUND COMET DRIVE AND IN THE BRENTWOOD PLACE SUBDIVISION.

YESTERDAY I EMAILED EACH OF YOU A PETITION SIGNED BY MANY OF OUR NEIGHBORS ASKING YOU TO VOTE AGAINST THE REZONING OF 62, 63 AND 6777 KERMIT DRIVE FROM A-1 TO A-2 POINT SEVEN.

THIS AREA WAS ZONED A1 FOR A REASON. IT'S RURAL, LOW DENSITY, AND NOT DESIGNED FOR THE KIND OF DEVELOPMENT THAT IS BEING PROPOSED.

REZONING TO A 2.7 WOULD ALLOW SMALLER LOTS AND MUCH MORE INTENSE DEVELOPMENT THAT WOULD PERMANENTLY CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF OUR CURRENT COMMUNITY.

LET ME BE CLEAR. WE'RE NOT AGAINST GROWTH. WE'RE AGAINST IRRESPONSIBLE GROWTH.

OUR ROADS, DRAINAGE AND PUBLIC SERVICES JUST AREN'T EQUIPPED TO HANDLE THIS KIND OF DENSITY.

WE ALREADY DEAL WITH FLOODING, AND ADDING MORE ROOFTOP AND CONCRETE WILL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.

FIRST THE DRAINAGE. OUR AREA ALREADY STRUGGLES WITH FLOODING DURING HEAVY RAINS AND 2016.

WATER FROM BAYOU INUNDATED MANY OF OUR HOMES, INCREASING THE ROOFTOPS AND PAVEMENT WITHOUT A DRAINAGE PLAN.

FEELS LIKE WE'RE SETTING OURSELVES UP FOR DISASTER.

TRAFFIC. CAN WE DRIVE AS A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A CENTER LANE TURNING LANE? UNFORTUNATELY, MANY PEOPLE USE THIS AS A PASSING LANE.

THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45MPH, BUT IT OFTEN FEELS MORE LIKE A RACETRACK.

IT'S ALREADY DANGEROUS AND WE'RE WORRIED THAT MORE HOMES WILL ONLY MAKE THINGS WORSE.

ESPECIALLY DURING SCHOOL HOUR AND RUSH HOUR. THE INFRASTRUCTURE.

OUR FIRE PROTECTION COMES FROM A VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.

OUR WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS ARE ALREADY STRETCHED THIN AND NEARBY.

WE HAVE VACANT SHOPPING CENTERS AND EMPTY BUILDINGS.

THAT DOESN'T SUGGEST THIS AREA IS READY FOR MORE HIGH DENSITY DEVELOPMENTS AND SCHOOLS.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THIS AREA ARE STRUGGLING BASED ON THE 2023 REPORT CARD.

NEARBY SCHOOLS RANGE FROM A B DOWN TO AN F, AN AVERAGE RATING OF A D.

WITH THAT IN MIND, WE HAVE TO ASK WHO EXACTLY IS THIS SUBDIVISION FOR? AND WHAT BENEFITS WOULD THIS NEW SUBDIVISION BRING TO FAMILIES IF FAMILIES CAN'T RELY ON QUALITY PUBLIC EDUCATION? ONCE AGAIN, WE ARE NOT AGAINST GROWTH, BUT WE ARE AGAINST GROWTH.

THAT PUTS FAMILIES AT RISK AND OVERWHELMS THE SYSTEMS WE ALL RELY ON.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO VOTE NO ON THIS REZONING.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES FROM INCOMPATIBLE DEVELOPMENT.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR LISTENING TO OUR CONCERNS. PLEASE VOTE NO.

THANK YOU. NEXT, WE'LL HAVE ANGELA CREEL. HI.

MY NAME IS ANGELA CREEL. I LIVE AT EIGHT, SEVEN, FIVE SEVEN COMEY DRIVE, AND I'VE LIVED THERE APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS.

WHEN I SAW THE REZONING SIGN, I WENT IN AND I DID RESEARCH.

THAT'S HOW I WANTED TO APPROACH IT. I MY FEELINGS ASIDE, ON THE PROPERTY OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE IT TO STAY, WHAT I WOULD LIKE THE LAND TO BE. OF COURSE, IT'S RURAL LOOKING RURAL AREA.

I WANT IT TO STAY THAT WAY. BUT I KNOW THAT'S NOT PRACTICAL.

I KNOW WE HAVE GROWTH COMING AND I KNOW THIS IS A LARGE AREA OF LAND.

SO I LOOKED AT IT. I DROVE AROUND TO OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS THAT HAD THESE TYPES OF SUBDIVISION BUILT.

I LOOKED AT THEM, I LOOKED AT THE FUTURE BURR PLANS.

I LOOKED AT I WENT ONLINE AND I LOOKED AT ALL OF THE, THE DISTRICTS THE ZONING.

[00:10:02]

WE'RE ON ACREAGE. WE ALSO HAVE SUBDIVISIONS, BUT THERE ARE LARGER SUBDIVISIONS.

THEY'RE ESTABLISHED. THEY'VE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME. THE PROPERTY IN QUESTION HAS AT LEAST A TEN ACRE POND THAT WAS DUG ON THE PROPERTY BEFORE. SO WHEN SPEAKING WITH THE DEVELOPERS, THEY SAID THEY WERE GOING TO USE THIS POND AS A RETAINAGE POND FOR THE SUBDIVISION, AND THEY WOULD MEDIATE ANY DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE WHILE THERE WAS A SAND AND GRAVEL PIT OPERATE THERE IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA.

AND THEY WOULD, YOU KNOW, MEDIATE THAT. AND BUT FOR THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN AND BUILDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING, AND TO BE ABLE TO SELL THESE LOTS THEY WOULD NEED TO AND THEIR PROFIT, THEY WOULD NEED TO BUILD AT LEAST 235 LOTS ON THIS PROPERTY TO BE ABLE TO RECOUP. SO I TRIED TO, YOU KNOW, REASON WITH THEM IN CONVERSATIONS AND SAID, COULD WE GO DOWN? CAN WE GO 109 LOTS IS WHAT LELAND LAKES WAS PROPOSED AT.

THEY SAID, NO, IT WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE. SO I SAID, YOU KNOW, WE'RE OKAY.

WE'RE FOR GROWTH. WE UNDERSTAND. LET'S BRING SOME PEOPLE IN.

LET'S HAVE BARBECUES, YOU KNOW, BLOCK PARTIES.

WE'RE ALL FOR THAT. BUT DON'T BRING IN 235 HOMES ON A PROPERTY THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, A PAST IN THE FUTURE THAT WE WANT FOR IT IS FOR ANYONE TO COME TO PURCHASE HOMES ON THIS PROPERTY, TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THERE AND TO NOT BE IN FEAR OF IT FLOODING OR A SWATH OF OTHER ISSUES THAT I COULD GO INTO MY FEELINGS ON.

BUT THE FACTS ARE, IS THAT THERE IS NO A 2.7 HOMES IN THIS AREA, SUBDIVISIONS IN THIS AREA.

AND IF THE DEVELOPER COULD GO IN AND HE HAS A HYPOTHESIS OF ALL THESE GREAT PLANS, EVERYTHING, ALL OF INFORMATION HE PUT IN, BUT HE CAN'T SHOW US IT.

YOU CAN'T DO A TRIAL RUN. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE OPPOSED BUT NOT WISHING TO SPEAK.

CHRISTINE SULLIVAN, BEN CREEL, CAROLYN SHIELD.

WE HAVE AN OPPOSITION WISHING TO SPEAK. PHILIP DENICOLA.

GOOD AFTERNOON, GUYS AND GIRLS. I LIVED ON KLINE DRIVE, WHICH IS RIGHT OFF OF COMET.

SINCE 1982. I'VE BEEN THERE ABOUT 43 YEARS, RAISED MY KIDS THERE, SENT MY KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

IT'S MY LOT IS TWO AND A HALF ACRES, AND MOST EVERYBODY ON MY STREET IS FROM TWO AND A HALF TO FOUR ACRES, MAYBE SIX. AND THESE HOUSES THAT ARE TRYING, Y'ALL TRYING TO PUT IN THERE WHERE, THEY ARE IS GOING TO BE JAMMED UP RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER. I PAID $2,416 FOR FLOOD INSURANCE THIS YEAR.

IS THAT PROPERTY IN A FLOOD ZONE? IS IT PROPERTY IN FLOOD ZONE? NO, SIR. IT'S PUBLIC COMMENTS FOR US. A PORTION OF IT.

AND THEY SAY IT'S GOING TO GO DOWN, BUT IT'S CONTINUALLY GONE UP SINCE I'VE PURCHASED ABOUT 15 OR 16 YEARS AGO.

SO, I AM TOTALLY AGAINST THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY BEING PUTTING ANYTHING ON IT REALLY.

BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE A PERMIT FOR THE 109 HOUSES, AND I WOULD LIKE YOU ALL TO VOTE NO ON THIS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. NEXT UP IN OPPOSITION, WILL WISHING TO SPEAK IS WILL CAMPBELL.

GOOD AFTERNOON. CITY COUNCILMAN AND MAYOR PRO TEM.

FIRST GIVING HONOR TO GOD, WHO'S THE HEAD OF MY LIFE? MY NAME IS WILL CAMPBELL. I'M A RESIDENT AT 8344 COMET DRIVE.

I'M ALSO A 30 YEAR BANKER. BEEN WORKING HERE IN BATON ROUGE FOR MANY YEARS.

MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LIVING THERE FOR 22 YEARS, AND I WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY, VERY CLEAR THAT WE'RE NOT OPPOSED TO DEVELOPMENT, BUT IT HAS TO BE THE RIGHT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT IS ALREADY ZONED A-1, WHICH YOU CAN DO OF FOUR HOUSES PER ACRE, AND THEY WANT TO CHANGE IT TO A2 TO DO SEVEN HOUSES PER ACRE.

AND WE JUST THINK THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER IN THE DENSITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

[00:15:03]

AND PASSING THIS ON THE DOCKET TODAY. AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS TO, WELL, WE HAVE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BEEN STAYING IN THIS COMMUNITY A LONG TIME. WE HAVE OVER 355 RESIDENTS HAVE SIGNED A PETITION TO SAY THEY OPPOSE THIS DEVELOPMENT.

SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. WE HONOR WE RESPECT EVERYBODY HERE.

BUT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL VOTE NO ON THIS TODAY.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE HERE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? OKAY. YES, MA'AM. DEBORAH PEARSON. OKAY. YOU DIDN'T INDICATE WHETHER YOU WERE OPPOSED OR IN FAVOR, SO I WAS GOING TO HAVE YOU LAST, BUT NO PROBLEM.

I AM OPPOSED. I'M A MORE RECENT RESIDENT. I MOVED THERE, BOUGHT THE HOUSE RIGHT BEFORE 2016, DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS COMING, BUT MOST OF MY NEIGHBORS FLOODED AND MOST OF THEM REBUILT.

WE REALLY HAVE A VERY GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE MET EACH OTHER REALLY VERY RECENTLY BECAUSE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT. MOST OF US, IT'S A VERY MIXED NEIGHBORHOOD. ALL AGES, YOUNG FAMILIES, OLDER PEOPLE, ALL KINDS OF FOLKS.

I MAY BE A WILDLIFE EDUCATOR AND A WILDLIFE PERSON BY NATURE, BUT I'M NOT A POLLYANNA.

I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROPERTY IS GOING TO BE DEVELOPED. NO PROBLEM.

BUT WHAT'S BEING PROPOSED IS SHAKING EVERYBODY TO THEIR CORE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SEEM WELL THOUGHT OUT.

THE FLOOD PROTECTION DOESN'T SEEM ADEQUATE. THE POND IS FULL NOW.

HOW IS THAT GOING TO PROTECT US? WE DON'T FEEL SAFE. WE'VE HAD ENGINEERS LOOK AT IT. WE'VE HAD ZONING. PEOPLE LOOK AT IT, AND THEY'VE ALL AGREED. OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T LIKE IT. THEY THINK IT'S GOING TO LOWER OUR FIRE RATING.

MOST PEOPLE, THEY'RE OPPOSED TO IT, ARE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR PROPERTY VALUES. AND WE'RE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT IT BECOMING SOMEWHAT VACANT AND BEING THE HOMES BEING PURCHASED BY SPECULATORS, BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS GOING UP AROUND THE PARISH AND QUITE A FEW OF THEM IN THE SAME AREA.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF THEM IN BAKER; THERE'S ONE IN HOOPER ROAD. THIS KIND OF PRICE RANGE 230 TO $250,000.

MOSTLY THAT'S GOING TO BE PEOPLE WITH KIDS. WHY WOULD THEY MOVE AND BUY THIS PROPERTY IN A POOR SCHOOL AREA WHEN THEY CAN BUY THE SAME PRICED HOME IN A GOOD SCHOOL AREA LIKE ZACHARY OR CENTRAL? SO WE'RE VERY AFRAID OF WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THE DEVELOPER PACKS UP AND LEAVES.

THEY'VE MADE THEIR MONEY. THEY'RE GONE. AND WE, THE CITIZENS OF EAST BATON ROUGE, THEN WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEMS AFTERWARDS.

AND WHILE WE ALL MIGHT LIKE TREES AND OWLS AND COYOTES, SOME OF US WE KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED.

WE JUST HOPE THAT YOU'LL LOOK AT THE PLANS CAREFULLY AND LOOK AT THE PROBLEMS CAREFULLY.

WE'VE HAD A LONG HISTORY WITH THIS PROPERTY OF IT BRINGING DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY SEVERELY.

IT'S BEEN AN EYESORE AND A PROBLEM. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF VIOLATIONS, AND WE DID BRING IT TO THE ATTENTION OF OUR COUNCIL PERSON, AND THEY IGNORED US FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS. SO WE'RE HOPING THIS TIME AROUND YOU GIVE IT A CLOSER LOOK, AND WE ARE VERY OPPOSED TO IT. I DON'T KNOW OF ANY RESIDENTS WHO AREN'T, AND IT'S A VERY LARGE AREA, SO THANKS FOR LISTENING TO US TODAY. WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO.

THANKS. ANYONE ELSE WISHING TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THIS PROJECT? OKAY. WE'LL HAVE THE APPLICANT OFFER YOU AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A THREE MINUTE REBUTTAL.

OH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. YES. SO WE HAVE CAME IN AND WE'VE TALKED WITH COUNCILMAN KENNY AND THE RESIDENTS ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AND WE'VE EXPLAINED OUR PROCESS, THE PROCESS THAT IS ALREADY SET UP THROUGH THE PARISH THAT WE HAVE TO ADHERE TO.

WE HAVE TO DO A DESIGN DRAINAGE IMPACT STUDY, TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY, AND WE HAVE TO PROVE TO THE PARISH AND TO THE PARISH ENGINEERS THAT THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT HAVE ANY ADVERSE EFFECTS ON EITHER THE DRAINAGE OR THE TRAFFIC.

IF THERE ARE TRAFFIC IMPACTS, THEN WE'LL HAVE TO MITIGATE THEM.

WE'VE DONE THE PRELIMINARY CALCULATIONS TO SHOW THAT THE DRAINAGE WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN STORMWATER RUNOFF, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE AN EXISTING POND OVER THERE.

TO THE POINT OF THE POND THE RESIDENTS HAVE EXPRESSED A LOT OF CONCERN THAT IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, THAT IT'S BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THEM FOR A LONG TIME.

WE WERE NOT PART OF THE PREVIOUS USE OF THE PROPERTY, BUT WE DO WANT TO COME IN, MAKE USE OF THE PROPERTY, MAKE USE OF THAT EXISTING POND, BUILD UP THE BANKS AND PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF STORAGE, YOU KNOW, BEYOND WHAT IS REQUIRED. SO IT WILL HELP THE AREA WITH THE DRAINAGE.

IS IT GOING TO PREVENT ANOTHER 2016 FLOOD FROM HAPPENING? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I WAS IN LIVINGSTON PARISH AT THE TIME AND I FELT IT, YOU KNOW, SO I DO KNOW HOW IT WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, BUT WE CAN'T CONTROL THE FLOOD EVENT OF THAT MAGNITUDE.

WE'VE KIND OF TALKED AGAIN WITH THE TRAFFIC. THIS WOULD PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL ACCESS TO THE SUBDIVISION TO OUR NORTH.

WE FEEL THAT IT WOULD BE A BENEFIT TO THEM. IN FACT, THE SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH HAS A STREET STUBBED OUT ALREADY.

[00:20:02]

WE'VE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE WATER SYSTEM AND BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE A LOOPED WATER SYSTEM THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, INTO THE OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE OF WATER ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO FIGHT A FIRE.

WE THINK THAT THOSE ARE, YOU KNOW, PRETTY STRONG BENEFITS TO THE NEIGHBORING COMMUNITY.

I FEEL LIKE IT'S KIND OF COME DOWN TO, YOU KNOW, AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING SITUATION VERSUS THE PERSONAL PREFERENCE.

YOU KNOW, THEY THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S GOING TO BE DEVELOPED, BUT THEY DON'T WANT THIS.

A TWO ZONING ALLOWS FOR FOUR HOUSES PER ACRE.

THE WAY WE'RE DEVELOPING THIS PROPERTY, WE'RE COMING IN AT 2.6 HOUSES PER ACRE.

SO THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A REDUCTION IN WHAT'S AVAILABLE TO US RIGHT NOW.

AND AS FAR AS THE AFFORDABLE PART OF IT A LARGER LOT PER EAST BATON ROUGE PARISH STANDARDS, WE STILL HAVE TO PROVIDE A CURB AND GUTTER STREET. WE STILL HAVE TO PROVIDE DRAINAGE.

OUR STORMWATER RUNOFF WOULD BE THE SAME ON THAT LARGER LOT VERSUS THIS ONE.

IT'S JUST A COST DIFFERENCE WOULD GO UP SIGNIFICANTLY, LIKE FROM 30 TO 40,000 TO A 140,000 PLUS PIECE OF PROPERTY.

SO THAT'S TIME. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO TO COUNCIL COUNCILMAN KENNY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MAYOR PRO TEM NOEL. I DON'T THINK MY FELLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS TOLD ME WE WERE ALL GOING TO HAVE THAT FIRST ZONING ISSUE THAT'S GOING TO COME WITHIN YOUR FIRST YEAR. BUT FIRST, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE COMET DRIVE COMMUNITY.

LCR GEORGE, I KNOW WE HAVE A LOT OF PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS AROUND THIS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT ON RECORD. THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT.

BEFORE I GET INTO MY POINTS, I'M GOING TO BRING UP MR. RYAN.

IF YOU WANT TO COME UP REAL QUICKLY. RYAN, TALK TO ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT PREEXISTING A1 ZONING.

OBVIOUSLY, I WAS NOT HERE WHEN THAT ZONING WAS APPROVED. GIVE ME GIVE EVERYONE A LITTLE BIT BACKGROUND IN HISTORY AROUND ZONING.

AND CURRENTLY, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT WAS APPROVED AND HOW IT CAME TO BE, CERTAINLY THIS PROPERTY, THE MAJORITY OF IT HAS BEEN ZONED A1 SINCE 1957.

SINCE SOME OF THE FIRST ZONING MAPS FOR THE CITY PARISH, THERE IS A SMALLER C2 PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, APPROXIMATELY SEVEN AND A HALF ACRES, BUT IT'S OFF ON ONE SIDE.

BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TRACT IS ZONED A1. A1 ALLOWS 4.1 UNITS PER ACRE.

IT ALLOWS 10,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS IS WHAT'S REQUIRED BY THE UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT CODE.

THE ZONING. AND THAT'S THE MATTER THIS EVENING, IS WHETHER OR NOT TO REZONE THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS A COMPANION SUBDIVISION THAT'S TENTATIVELY BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION THIS COMING MONDAY.

BUT THE ITEM TONIGHT, AGAIN, IS JUST WHETHER OR NOT IT'S APPROPRIATE TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM A-1.

THERE IS A SMALL PORTION OF C-2 TO A 2.7. A 2.7 ZONING IS ALSO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT, BUT IT DOES ALLOW 7.3 UNITS PER ACRE AND DOES ALLOW SMALLER LOTS 6000 SQUARE FOOT LOTS INSTEAD OF 10,500 SQUARE FOOT LOTS. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU FOR THAT, RYAN.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS I TELL PEOPLE I'VE BEEN HAVE GOTTEN MY CRASH COURSE IN THE UDC CODE AROUND THIS ENTIRE ISSUE.

BUT ONE OF THE THINGS ESPECIALLY I TALKED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION OFFICE WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL.

EVEN THOUGH IT MAY PASS THE UDC MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALIGNING WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF OUR COMMUNITY.

AS WE'VE BEEN HAVING MANY VARIOUS COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS ON VARIOUS WEBEX MEETINGS BETWEEN BOTH SIDES AS WELL.

ME AND MY OFFICE JUST WANT A BETTER UNDERSTANDING TO MAKE SURE THIS IS A RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL MEMBER .

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT DEFINITELY CONCERNED ME I FREQUENT THIS AREA VERY MUCH.

A LOT IS NEIGHBORING TO MY AREA IN THE BROWNSVILLE COMMUNITY.

AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE, YOU KNOW, WE HAD THE 2016 FLOOD.

IT WAS DEVASTATING, RIGHT? YOU BARELY SEE ANYBODY HOUSING WHITES BAYOU.

IT'S BEEN A LOT OF THINGS. A LOT OF PEOPLE PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE MITIGATING THIS FLOODING. AND SO AS WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO VARIOUS PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. RIGHT. VARIOUS PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT TYPE OF DEVELOPMENTS, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.

AT THE END OF THE DAY IT'S NOT ABOUT WHO'S GETTING CONTRACTED OUT TO DO IT.

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU KNOW, WHO OWNS THE LAND. IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS COMMUNITY.

AND SO AS RYAN TALKED ABOUT THE EIGHT ONE ZONING IN THAT SENSE, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS IS VERY RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT.

YOU KNOW, WE HAD OVER 350 INDIVIDUALS WHO SIGNED A PETITION TO SAY THIS IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS COMMUNITY.

I TELL PEOPLE AS A COUNCIL MEMBER, YOU KNOW, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSTITUENTS AND NOT DEVELOPERS, BUT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE OUR DEVELOPERS ARE HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH THE COMMUNITY TO MAKE SURE WE ARE ALIGNING WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE COMMUNITY,

[00:25:06]

AND THEY FLOOD THE COMMUNITY FLOODS BASED OFF IT.

RIGHT. AND I'M NOT SAYING, YOU KNOW, IN GOOD FAITH AND BAD FAITH, THEY'RE TRYING TO ENSURE, YOU KNOW, THIS DOES NOT FLOOD.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALIGNING WITH THE ZONING. AND SO MY ASK YOU KNOW, WITH GOING FORWARD WITH THIS TONIGHT THAT WE MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT PRIOR ZONING THAT'S ALREADY DONE ALREADY, YOU KNOW, LET'S WORK AROUND THAT ZONING. AND SO YOU KNOW, AFTER CONVERSING WITH CONSTITUENTS MY OFFICE AND STAFF, IT'S CLEAR THAT THIS PROPOSAL DOES NOT ALIGN WITH THIS COMMUNITY.

POINT BLANK AND CLEAR. AND SO GIVEN THESE CONCERNS, GIVEN WHAT THE CONSTITUENTS HAVE BEEN SAYING, FEEDBACK. I'M UNABLE TO SUPPORT THIS REZONING.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS COMMUNITY HAS A VOICE ADDED.

IF 350 PEOPLE HAS EXPRESSED THIS ZONING WOULD NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HERE, HAVE AN OPEN EAR TO THAT AND TO GEORGE.

LANCE, WE HAVE HAD VARIOUS CONVERSATIONS. I APPRECIATE Y'ALL.

FOR THIS PROCESS. AND I WANT TO INVITE Y'ALL BACK.

AS WE WE ASK BEFORE, YOU KNOW, LET'S DO SOMETHING AROUND EIGHT ONE, BUT I THINK IT'S A 2.7.

IT'S A LOT AND IT'S NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE EXISTING LOT SIZES.

AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE STAYING COMPATIBLE WITH THIS COMMUNITY AND NOT REALLY FORCE FEEDING ZONING INTO OUR COMMUNITY.

BECAUSE ONE THING FOR ME, I'M PRO DEVELOPMENT, RIGHT? I WANT NEW DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH BATON ROUGE, BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE IT'S RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT. AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, COUNCIL I'LL BE MAKING A MOTION TO DENY THIS REZONING REQUESTS.

ALL RIGHT. THAT'S SECOND. DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? OKAY. I HAVE A SECOND. OKAY. RYAN, CAN I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS? YOU SAID THERE'S A THERE'S A PLAN THAT'S BEEN TURNED IN THAT'S WORKING ITS WAY THROUGH.

DO YOU KNOW IF YOU DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU, DO YOU KNOW IS THE ACCESS POINTS FOR THE SUBDIVISION COMING FROM THE SOUTHERN END OFF OF COMET? THERE IS. I DON'T HAVE IT BEFORE ME, BUT I BELIEVE THERE'S TWO ACCESS POINTS OFF OF COMET, AND THERE IS ONE REQUIRED CONNECTIVITY ACCESS THROUGH THE EXISTING SUBDIVISION TO THE NORTH.

OKAY. AND THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S PROBABLY THE THE JUST LOOKING AT THE MAP, THAT SEEMS LIKE THE THE MAIN ENTRANCES WOULD BE OFF OF ME LOOKING AT SOME OF THE PROPERTIES THAT TOUCH THIS PROPERTY OFF OF WHERE THE MAIN ENTRANCE WOULD BE.

I WAS KIND OF LOOKING AT THE MAP AT THE LOT SIZES ON THESE PROPERTIES ARE 5.157 ACRES, 2.064 ACRES, 2.51.782.61, 3.022, 3.31, 3.75, 2.98 ACRES 2.082.042.73. THESE ARE ALL PROPERTIES THAT ARE TOUCHING THIS DEVELOPMENT AND.

ARE ON THE SAME ROAD THAT THE MAIN ENTRANCE OR POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE MAIN ENTRANCES ARE ON.

CALL ME THESE ALL FRONT CO MEETING TOUCHES PROPERTY.

SO YOU KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A1 WHICH WOULD ALLOW HOW MANY PER ACRE ON 4.1 UNITS PER ACRE, A 4.1 PER ACRE. TWO A 2.7, WHICH WOULD ALLOW 7.37.3.

NOW, THEY SAID THEIR PROPOSAL IS 2.6 PER ACRE, EVEN AT 2.6 PER ACRE.

THAT'S VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ACREAGE THAT YOU KNOW, THAT YOU HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THAT ARE ADJACENT TO THIS PROPERTY.

WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THIS IS VASTLY DIFFERENT NOW, THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH THAT IT WOULD CONNECT OFF OF.

LOOKS LIKE THAT'S SOME SMALLER AREAS. BUT AGAIN, THE MAIN ENTRANCE AND WHERE THIS FRONTS ON KOMETE, IT SEEMS DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. AND UNDERSTANDING THAT WE HAVE A ZONING THAT THAT AS A COUNCILMAN SAID, HE THINKS IS MORE APPROPRIATE AND FITS BETTER AT A ONE.

I WOULD ARGUE THAT THIS SHOULD PROBABLY BE A RURAL AND AG RURAL AND A ONE ACRE MINIMUM.

IF IT WERE IN MY DISTRICT, IT WOULD BE, I GUARANTEE IT.

AND SO I THINK, YEAH, I, I THINK THIS IS FAR TOO HIGH DENSITY.

REQUEST AT THIS ZONING. AND THE REALITY IS, EVEN THOUGH AND THIS THIS IS NOT TO SAY FOR THE APPLICANT OR THE ENGINEER, I DON'T DOUBT IN ANY WAY THAT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING, THE 2.6 IS ACCURATE.

BUT WHAT I WOULD CAUTION COUNCILMAN KENNY, I KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE NEW TO DEALING WITH THIS, BUT MY COLLEAGUES ARE PROBABLY WELL AWARE JUST BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS PROPOSING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T MATTER WHEN YOU REZONE IT, ONCE THE ZONING IS IN PLACE, THEIR DEAL COULD FALL THROUGH PROPERTY,

[00:30:02]

IS THAT RIGHT, RYAN? THAT'S CORRECT. COUNCILMAN.

SO WHEN YOU DO ZONING, WHAT YOU NEED TO ALWAYS THINK ABOUT WHAT'S THE WORST CASE SCENARIO OR THE MOST INTENSE PROBABILITY WITHIN THAT ZONING? IF YOU CAN SWALLOW THAT, THEN I SAY APPROVE THE ZONING.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING WITHIN THAT ZONING THAT YOU SAY, OH, THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE, BUT AT LEAST THE APPLICANT'S NOT TELLING ME THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THAT PROPERTY CAN CHANGE HANDS AND THE ZONING STAYS WITH IT, AND THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

THAT'S HOW YOU SHOULD VIEW ZONING EVERY SINGLE TIME.

THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. COUNCILMAN KENNY, YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD? JUST ONCE AGAIN AND I JUST WANT TO SAY ON RECORD AS WELL, YOU KNOW, THE DECISION THAT WITH MY OFFICE IS MAKING, WE'RE MAKING IS NOT BASED OFF ON, YOU KNOW, WHO WOULD POTENTIALLY BE CONTRACTED OUT TO WHO? OWNER OF THE LAND. YOU KNOW, WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THE COMMUNITY STAYS CONSISTENT WITH THE CHARACTERISTICS. LIKE COUNCILMAN NOEL SAID.

BUT LIKE, ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU TO THE COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU GEORGE. THANK YOU LANCE. YOU KNOW THE REST OF YOUR TEAM AS WELL.

AND HOPEFULLY AS AN OLIVE BRANCH, YOU KNOW, LET'S COME BACK AND SEE. CAN WE DO SOMETHING A-1 GOING FORWARD? THANK YOU.
