ST. TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENTSTAFF ANALYSIS REPORT

Case File Number: BOA Case No. 2016-216-BOAInitial Hearing Date: April 5, 2016Date of Report: March 17, 2016

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: Craig GuidryLocation of Property: 107 Fairgrounds Boulevard, Bush, LouisianaZoning of Property: A-i SuburbanVariance(s) Requested: Removal of the 50’ no cut perimeter lot line buffers

OVERVIEW

The applicant owns a total of fourteen (14) contiguous single family rural residential lots inGrande Hills Subdivision. The applicant states in his application that this is his “homestead” andthat he planted trees on his collective lots for the purpose of harvesting same.

STAFF COMMENTS

The reasons why the no-cut buffer requirement was established within the code was to insure thepreservation of large oak, cypress and pine trees which are an attractive and invaluable asset tothe community of St. Tammany Parish. Furthermore, by saving these no-cut buffers promotesthe preservation of our natural resources, aesthetics and a healthy environment in the communityin which we live.

Something else to consider is that these are single family residential lots that are approximatelyfive (5) acres each in size, and are not 100 acre plus pasture or timber tracts; and although theapplicant states that this is his homestead, that doesn’t stop him from eventually selling the lotsto others that could inherit these lots that would be devoid of a nice tree-scape on the property.

Therefore, for the reasons as stated above, the staff does not support the variances requested andfeels that if approved would set a bad precedent by encouraging others in residential subdivisionsto do the same thing.

As an aside, if the applicant really wants to preserve his fourteen (14) lots as a “homestead” andtimber the property, which equates to approximately 73 acres, he could petition the parish tosimply resubdivide his lots into one large tract of land, thereby allowing him to timber theinternal portions of his property while at the same time maintaining a 50’ wide no-cut buffersaround the perimeter of his approximately 73 acres.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: Thrive Whole Body FitnessLocation of Property: 7047 E. Highway 190 Service Road, Covington, LouisianaZoning of Property: HC-2 Highway CommercialVariance(s) Requested: To permit a sign above the roof-line

OVERVIEW

The applicant has stated that the building that he will be using for his business does not have anyplace on it in which to place a fascia sign; therefore, he wishes to place a small illuminated signabove his roof-line (see front view elevation drawing of sign attached).

STAFF COMMENTS

After visiting the site, the staff concurs with the applicant that there does not seem to besufficient space in which to place a fascia sign on the side of his building that could be viewed bythe public; and since the sign is not very large in terms of square footage, the staff does not haveany objections to the variance request.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: Florida Marine TransportersLocation of Property: 2360 Street, Mandeville, LouisianaZoning of Property: HC-2 Highway CommercialVariance(s) Requested: To permit the relocation of (5) Class A and (2) Class B trees to the

southwest and northwest buffers

OVERVIEW

The applicant is requesting to relocate (7) trees on the property in order to provide adequatespacing of same between the adjacent property and the new Florida Marine Transporters building(see letter attached from Kyle & Associates, LLC, dated May 10, 2016).

STAFF COMMENTS

Although the staff understands the concern of the applicant regarding the trees in the side yardbuffer, the staff does not support their argument due to the fact that there are many instanceswhere the developers of commercial sites place their required plantings within a minimum 10’wide landscape buffer and do not have any problems managing the growth of the trees withinsame.

Perhaps the applicant should consider providing a larger side yard buffer by reducing the imprintof the building if he feels that the growth of the trees are going to be a potential issue in thefuture.

RE: Florida Marine Transporters Variance

Florida Marine Transporting (FMT) is requesting a landscape buffer variance due tothe inadequate spacing between the adjacent property and the new FMT building. Theadjacent property building “Fabrics Second to None” is 5 feet off of the property line which isnot to St. Tammany code regulations. With this being said, FMT is requesting the relocation of5 class “A” and 2 class “B” trees to the Southwest and Northwest buffers to allow proper treegrowth without interfering with the buildings. FMT is adding 13 Oleander shrubs in the bufferto substitute the required buffer trees.

The Board of AdjustmentsDepartment of Planning & DevelopmentSt. Tammany ParishP.O. Box 628Covington, LA 70434

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a letter in specific response to the five conditions for a variance from the requirements of the St. TammanyParish’s Unified Development Code.

The property in question is lot 17A in the Northshore Beach subdivision, the municipal address is 407 Carr Drivein Slidell, LA. It is currently zoned A-4 which requires a front set back of 30’ and side set back of 10’. The lot islocated between Carr Drive and Facianes Canal and is 100 feet wide but has only 9’-12’ of land as measuredperpendicular to Carr Drive. The existing structure is built entirely over water. The owners, Tague and MaryRichardson, wish to build an addition attached to the side of their existing primary residence. Due to the small lotsize, the location of the existing home, and its adjacency to Facianes Canal, we are requesting a variance fromthe requirements of the St Tammany Parish’s Unified Development Code to decrease the front yardsetback from 30’ to 8’ and to decrease the left side set back from 10’ to 5’. This variance will bring theexisting structure on the lot into compliance with parish zoning requirements and allow the Richardsons toproceed with their proposed addition.

1. “Is the variance/appeal request self-imposed?”

Response: No, the variance is needed to address difficulties stemming from the site itself. Please refer to item #3.

2. “Does the variance/appeal request constitute a fmancial hardship?”

Response: No, the request stems from practical difficulties stemming from the physical constraints of the site.Please refer to item #3

3. “Does the variance/appeal request present a practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship?”

Response: Practical difficulties do exist. The site only has between 9 and 12 feet of land as measuredperpendicularly to Can Drive. The existing structure is constructed entirely over the canal. The lot simply cannot provide a30’ front yard setback as this would place the façade almost 20 feet out in the water. We are requesting a variance of the leftside yard setback because the existing structure is non-conforming to the requirements of the UDC. Granting this variance

May 9, 2016

will bring the existing residence into compliance. The proposed addition will comply with the modified front yard setbackof 8’ and the statutory right side yard setback of 10’.

4. “Does the variance/appeal request impose an adverse effect on the adjacent neighbor’s property or surroundingneighborhood?”

Response: No, there are many boathouses along Carr Drive on the Facianes Canal side that are constructed adjacentto the bulkhead. Some of these have been converted to residences.

5. “Will the granting of the variance/appeal request constitute establishing a precedent?”

Response: It will not. There are prior instances of where the Board of Adjustment has given similar variances in thepast. BOA Case number 15-17-023 is a recent example. This case was a former boathouse that was converted to a residenceand the front yard setback was granted a variance to put it in line with the structure.

We respectfully request that every possible consideration be given to Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, the owners of thisproperty at 407 Carr Drive.

Case File Number: BOA Case No. 2016-284-BOAInitial Hearing Date: June 7, 2016Date of Report May 19,2016

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: Covington Hospitality, L.L.C.Location of Property: 625 N. Highway 190, Covington, LouisianaZoning of Property: HC-2 Highway CommercialVariance(s) Requested: Signage requirements

OVERVIEW

The applicant is proposing to reduce the height of the existing Best Western pole sign from 46’and proposes to erect a 17’ (application states 15’) high monument style sign in its place, and toreduce the size of the existing Best Western cabinet and change the logo from approximately 59square feet to 55 square feet. In addition, the applicant is requesting to keep the existing LEDreader board as part of the monument sign which measures approximately 96 square feet in size.

STAFF COMMENTS

Although the staff applauds the applicant for proposing a significant reduction the height of thesign, the fact remain that the height of the proposed new sign is still 8’ higher than what codepermits. Secondly, parish code only allows for a maximum of 32 square feet of signage for asingle occupancy business, while the applicant is proposing to keep a total of 151 square feet,which represents over a 370% increase over current code requirements.

The staff understands that the existing signage, since it has been in place for many years, andgiven the height of 46’ feet, that in order to be seen, the square footage was probably necessaryor warranted. However, now that the sign is being reduced to a proposed height of 17’, theamount of cabinetry requested far exceeds what would be considered reasonable based on currentcode.

Therefore, for the reasons as stated above, the staff does not support the variances requested inthe current proposed format; however, in the spirit of recognizing that the applicant is proposinga substantial reduction in the height of the sign and replacing it with a monument style sign, thestaff suggests that the applicant amend his application to seek a lesser sign height variance and togreatly reduce the size of the signage proposed that would be more in line with parish code.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: W.J.B. Realty, L.L.C.Location of Property: 68583 Highway 59, Mandeville, LouisianaZoning of Property: 1-2 IndustrialVariance(s) Requested: Request to encroach within a landscape buffer

OVERVIEW

The applicant is seeking a variance to put a 15’ x 36’ building on an existing slab that wouldresult in the building encroaching into the side yard landscape buffer approximately to the zeroproperty line.

STAFF COMMENTS

This request is a classic case of a personal preference verus a practical difficulty or hardship,which are the mandated reasons for the board to consider the granting of variances.

The applicant clearly states in their documentation that their primary reason for the variancerequest is to utilize the existing concrete slab on the property; when in fact, they have otheroptions that don’t include encroaching into the landscape buffer.

For one, they could simply reduce the size of the structure and still utilize a portion of the slab; orsecondly, they could simply relocate the building behind the main building on site where thereappears to be plenty of room in which to locate the accessory structure.

Therefore, for the reasons as stated above, the staff recommends denial of the variance request.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Applicant(s) Name: Glenn & Deborah CoullardLocation of Property: 378 Stonehaven Drive, Mandeville, LouisianaZoning of Property: A-3 SuburbanVariance(s) Requested: Side yard setback

OVERVIEW

The applicant wants to put a prefab tool shed on their property and states that due to the largeroot system of an oak trees on their property, they are limited as to where they can place the shed.

STAFF COMMENTS

A site inspection did reveal that the rear yard hard area has a large cover of trees; however itappears that the northeast corner of the property could possibly support the location of the shed.Furthermore, the applicant has not provided any approval letter from the Lochmere EstatesHomeowners Association.

So if it turns out that there truly is no other place within the rear yard in which to place the shedand the board is entertaining granting the variance, then it should be conditioned upon theapplicant providing the staff with a formal letter of no objection from the Lochmere Estates HOAand a letter of no objection from the property owner along the side yard which will be effected bythe variance request.

HOA - President

Dear Ken,

I just wanted to keep you updated on the prefab tool shed. We have scheduled/madeplans as to the shed not being visible from the street. It will be a real challenge for thembecause they have some really large oak roots that protrude out of the ground that theywill have to roll over, but the primary reason for the delay is they have to wait until it isdry enough because the only other area is lower & takes longer to dry out.Unfortunately, it is scheduled to rain again. My husband & I worked all weekendclearing out the alternative bc tion1nctudtpulfing-up-Several verypretty maturebushes, trees etc. which we hated to do but necessary to stay compliant.

rbSGlenn went out and purchased the closest match as possible for the shingles. Thehouse as you know is an older home & even if John did have them replaced afterKatrina, that was still almost 11 years ago making it impossible to get the exact sameshingles. I just wanted to let you know we are doing all we can do until the ground driesup.

With that being said, please provide us with a copy of the HOA restrictions as soon aspossible, how often you have HOA meetings; and member names! phone #s! theiradresses serving on the board. Also please advise when the next meeting isscheduled. We realize John “should have” provided it to us, however with experianceas a former Fire Commissioner and serving as a member on the fire Dist. board for 10years; the board was ultimately responsible for providing necessary information to ourdistrict residents and ensuring complaints and other issues etc. were resolved in a fairmanner. That along with previous history with other HOAs such as Coppermill inZachary and another in Baton Rouge, it is only right when the HOA accepts our HOAdues, that the board has the responsibility to provide the new resident with a copy of therestrictions. When we moved into Coppermill in Zachary and another residence thathad an HOA, both HOAs either sent or brought to our home a copy of the HOA rules,pool passes etc. to us and introduced themselves. It is also worth mentioning that withour previous residences we have always had great neighbors and were told theyconsidered us to be good neighbors. We hope to maintain that reputation. In closingplease know I appreciate the “thankless” job of all the members on the HOA board, as Ihave mentioned above “been there”.

Sincerely,

‘I

Debi Myer-Coullard

To Whom it may Concern:

This letter is in reference to Mr. and Mrs. Coullards Shed located at 378Stone Haven Drive Mandeville.

Current location is the only position available to avoid damage to rootsystem on Oak Tree and possibly demise of oak tree.

Alternative location likely will result in structural damage to shed withlow ground and tendency to stay wet from shade and rain.
