Commission approves Dunn Road rezoning contingent on plat showing front four lots

The Livingston Parish zoning commission voted to approve case 26-49 (Dunn Road, Parcel 0067769) on Sept. 3, contingent on submission of a plat that delineates the four front lots and leaves the back acreage as agricultural. Applicant Brad Marcotte told the commission his goal was to create buildable lots in the front while preserving the back for family use.

Brad Marcotte, who signed in as the applicant, said his "intention there is right next to 2 lots down from my dad, is to keep the back, maybe give it to my kids later." Planning staff and legal counsel told the commission that partial rezoning is difficult without a recorded plat, but an approval conditioned on receipt and approval of a plat would allow the front lots to be rezoned while leaving the remainder as ag. The commission approved the motion with a recommendation that the council also consider a variance for road frontage where appropriate.
