Thank you. And of the ones that are 70’ min frontage, several are <10,500 ft2. minimum lot size. That is 76 lots on about 21.75 acres gross including ponds, roads, servitudes, etc. I’m not an engineer, but even being generous with the net developable land 76/21.75 is certainly > 3:1.

I’m not talking about the adjacent lots. I am talking about the plat. The majority of the lots in the RM area are less than required minimum frontage of 70’ required of RM and that’s why the density is so much higher than allowed because there are so few that are at 70’ or 80’ to offset it.

Either way, I hope the people there keep fighting it. It will set a bad precedent if approved and eventually we will be fighting it near me when they revisit gateway farms or whatever the next iteration will be called. Stop building shitty zero lot homes in flood prone areas.

Bruh. I am giving you the scenario. 76 houses are being put on 20 acres of RM land….I didn’t subtract developable acreage for anything…pipeline servitude that dissects the property, roadways, or drainage pond. How do you end up with 76 lots on 20 acres when it is zoned for 3 dwellings per acre?

I am assuming you haven’t reviewed the plat or watched the meeting. The developer is way off on the calculations of net developable area, along with code that specifies that land must be developed at its underlying zoning density. The staff’s misinterpretations of this was called out and they were made to look silly. Maybe it was because they were told to stand down, as one of the landowners is buddies with the parish president. You can have 3 dwellings per acre. You can’t take pipeline and drainage servitudes and call them recreation spaces and then come up with your own magical calculations to include them and make the density appear to be less.

Well, let’s see if I can set the stage. Land seller is good friends with parish president and has donated about $3800 to his campaigns, including help campaigning and building signs. Nephew is on P&Z. The broker for the deal is on parish Board of Adjustments and politically connected. Land seller also donated $1000 to recently elected council woman in same district. Chairman for P&Z, who negotiates with developer ex parte.

11/2024- 1st post moratorium subdivision plat Gateway farms passed but never built because 36’ cap on fill requires many homes to be built on pier and beam, killing feasibility.
5/2025- Dantin Bruce puts property under contingent contract despite several homes that would require pier and beam construction because low elevation
12/25- new fill ordinance passed by council that provides loophole that circumvents 36’ cap on fill for subdivisions.
1/14/26- Harvest Fields plat postponed because of “technical error” when media shows up. Chairman knows they didn’t have the votes needed to pass. Same day, broker who is also on board of adjustments goes in front of the board of adjustments and gets a ridiculous variance approved to allow 5 dwellings on some non conforming lots in a conservation zone (1 dwelling per acre allowed), all lots below minimum frontage and lot size.

Now- subdivision denied because traffic study abysmal and density is way above what should be allowed since 70% of the property is residential medium intensity but being developed at mix use clip because of some creative calculations not supported by code.

I guess maybe this will help some figure it out for themselves. Why does Dantin Bruce put land under contract that would not be feasible to develop under the exiting fill ordinance, and spend hundreds of thousands on studies and plans unless they know that is about to change just before they present it to P&Z for approval. ??

Opposing fans- “Don’t leave Lane, LSU is gonna hurt you. They will fire you in 3 years.”

Also opposing fans- “Don’t trust him LSU fans. He will hurt you and leave you high and dry in 3 years”

Long story short- they don’t care about LSU or LK. They just scared of what’s gonna happen next.

Knox Kiffin posting #chargerforlife on an X post recapping the season getting a lot of hate from OM fans at the moment. Sounds like a farewell.

You think Joey Freshwater trusts someone else with his X account credentials when he’s sliding into girls like Sydney Sweeney’s DM’s?

I would hate the hire. I think what we are seeing now is that with the changes in NIL, you need to hire a coach that can relate to the players and motivate. I don’t think Dabo is a bad coach, but his style is outdated. Not only that, but he is neither an offensive or defensive expert. It’s too hard year after year to keep an excellent offensive and defensive coordinator. Get a coach that can lock down one side and spend to get the best coordinator you can afford on the other side of the ball.
