The Livingston Parish Planning Commission voted June 4 to approve a series of site plans and related procedural steps, moving several projects to final approval or the next review stage.
At the meeting the commission approved the preliminary site plan for Demco on LA Highway 42 after a Demco representative identified himself and engineering staff recommended the project advance to a drainage impact study and a final site plan. The Cotton House preliminary site plan, presented by Jason Landrum of Quality Engineering, also received a recommendation from engineering staff to proceed to a drainage impact study and final plan; commissioners voted to approve that action.
B3J Properties’ filings — both the item tied to a commercial subdivision and the final site plan — were considered separately. Engineering staff said comments had been addressed and recommended approval; commissioners approved the items, though a single ‘no’ vote was recorded during one of the B3J drainage-related motions.
The commission also approved two listings for a transmission service connection (presented by an agent representing Mr. Deese). Engineering reported the project met the exception for a drainage-impact study because the work was primarily an addition and involved removal of concrete, and staff recommended approval. The two related agenda entries were voted on and passed.
The final site plan for the South Live Oak Elementary multipurpose building was advanced after staff confirmed all comments had been addressed. The Juban Road small event venue final site plan was approved as well; during that discussion a commissioner asked whether a drainage impact study is required under conditional-use approval, and engineering staff clarified that a drainage impact study is required for any commercial business and that zoning determines whether conditional use is necessary.
The chair announced items 10 and 11 had been pulled and were not considered.
Votes at a glance: motions to approve the items listed above were moved and seconded during the meeting and carried, with one recorded 'no' vote during a B3J drainage-related motion. The meeting adjourned after the calendared items and the waiver discussion (separately covered in the meeting).
