re: House across from Walk On's in Zachary

It was a bad situation. He built the house around 2005 when there was nothing in the area. Enquist purchased the americana property not long after maybe 2009ish. DOTD wanted the round about to be located right ontop of his house but he wouldn't work with state. Then Enquist offered him a double cost price point. Ultimately the round about was offset to the south to miss his house because he wouldn't budge. Last minute before construction started I've heard Enquist offered him a house in the development...to no avail. He started blaming the City of Zachary and went on a personal vendetta against major and city council. Ultimately being served a restraining order. The sign was originally very personal and listed mayors name and city councilmen's names with warning. He ultimately removed that sign and installed the one that's up today. Its just a bad situation and I understand his frustration, but he could have taken the buyout or owned one of the houses in the development....which today would have been worth his original asking price of $600-750K. Just let the man live out his life. If you ever run into him definitely don't ask him about the sign....you'll lose 2 hours of your life.

Seems like at this point he could convert it to commercial and do ok.
Hard to feel sorry for him at all.

Typical Louisiana to have any vision whatsoever in planning with halfass developments
