L. Trey Folse III & Cameron P. TiptonRepresentative: Jeffrey Shoen(Mrs. Contois read the staff report into the record...)
Jeffrey Shoen: Representative for the School Board, describe construction currently taking placeon the campus, on the north and south sides of C. S. Owens Road. Due to the relocation of theCLECO powerline, as shown on the attached drawing, some of the existing trees have to beremoved. Trees cannot remain under the powerline due to maintenance requirements & it couldinterfere with the power. The revised plan shows the configuration of the trees to be relocated onthe property, which will not interfere with the proposed route of the CLECO right of way. Staffindicated in the report that additional inches should be planted within the campus. We hope thatwe can get variance to allow the planting of trees on the playground or elsewhere on the site,working with staff, and also allowing for different species. Ask to resubmit plan and have theability to pay into the tree bank only if necessary.
Mr. Ballantine: Is CLECO paying for the trees and planting?
Mr. Shoen: Arrangement with CLECO who will share some of the cost.
Mr. Schneider: Is the playground use for softball- team sports?
4
Mr. Shoen: Not formally use for team sports. It is an elementary school. There are someplayground equipment. Some space is available for some trees. The future improvements that willbe taking place on the campus may not allow for the planting of all trees to be mitigated.
Moved by Mr. Schneider and seconded by Mr. Gordon to approve the request with stipulation thatthe school board work with staff regarding the location and species of the trees to be planted.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
BOA CASE NO. 2019-1702-BOARequest by applicant in an A-i Suburban Zoning District for an after the fact waiver of the requiredfront, sides & rear no cut buffers.The property is located at 28132 Pine Cone Road, Abita Springs, Louisiana.Applicant & Representative: Loretta Janell
(Mrs. Contois read the staff report into the record...)
William & Loretta Jarrell: Applicants & Representatives. We would like to have horses on theproperty.
Sean Manix: Adjacent property owner. Two concerns. First: erosion seen in area. Report statesthat staff is aware of the situation, requesting replanting & specific species to be replanted. Stilt &erosion clogging the drainage ditches & the natural waterways behind our property and the one inquestion. They have created a significant amount of flooding. It changes where the water lies whenit floods. Water rising up getting closer and closer to the existing dwelling. Second concern: speedof the water over the land. Without the trees, it appears that the water leaves the land very quicklyand spend more time on the adjacent properties. We want the situation to be taken intoconsideration in regards to the impact that the water flowing will have in the area.
Keith Brown: President of the HOA. The main concern is that effects of clearing and drainage onthe surrounding neighbors are mitigated.
Lisa Sigsworth: The property in question is causing a lot of silt on my property. When she movedthere 3 years ago, no problem with flooding. Now the water is almost coming to the very backcorner of my house. Driveway is impassable during rainstorm. Proper amount ofbuffer trees needto be replanted to suck up the water & grow fast. Flooding on our property, caused an excavatorto sink on our property.
Jack Hopper: Impact of what was done extends north, crossing Peg Keller Road. Many times, theroad has flooded. If it impacts the property in the back it will impact the road and area to the north.Whatever was disrupted on the property, need to be put back because it will impact us later. Wehope that there is no major reduction in the required number of trees to be replanted within thesetbacks.
5
Mr. Ballantine: I cannot grant the variance until a plan is presented and approved by staff,addressing the flooding and the replanting of the trees.
Mr. Schneider: I would like to hear from Engineering, regarding the flooding aspect & flood zone.
Mr. Cloutet: Currently reviewing plans that have been submitted for drainage. It is in a criticaldrainage area. Not been able to approve the plans yet, not all the issues have been addressed.
Mr. Schneider: Since no drainage plan completed, I would like to ask the applicant to postpone.
Loretta Jarrell: We spoke to the Anny Corp of Engineers. They explained the facts regarding thewetlands that are on the property and that the flooding/drainage comes from all the properties,including Mrs. Sigsworth property and that the issue has been the same/create since 1998. Waterdrains downhill.
Mr. Gordon: When was the property cleared? Who cleared the property and how did you clearwithout a permit?
Loretta Jarrell: Cleared in 2017.
William Jarrell: Contractor from Franklinton, LA We are not from the area not aware that weneeded a permit.
Mr. Gordon: Did you fill the property? Added dirt? Did you fill a ditch or a natural waterway? Didyou damage the wetlands?
William Jarrell: Placed dirt on the property to allow for the placement of a barn & driveway. Weonly damaged the wetlands and we have mitigated according to the directions from the Corp ofEngineers.
Mr. Fandal: How many trees removed from the property? What type of trees?
William Jarrell: 8 loads taken out with 18 wheelers. Mostly pine trees were removed from theproperty.
Mr. Fandal: The drawing submitted shows a ditch.
William Jarrell: If you look at the overhall map of the property, it sits down below the adjacentproperties. There is a branch creek coming through the neighborhood. The digging of the pipelinein the area caused all lot of water damage.
Loretta Jarrell: We do not flood other properties. The other properties are flooding our property.The Corp confirmed that statement. We have wetlands due to the property to the right, which has
6
been draining on our property.
Mr. Brookter. How many acres are in question?
Loretta Jarrell: ii acres
Mr. Brookter: Since review of the plans have not been completed, it would be better to postpone.It would be difficult to vote on the request without any plan being presented.
Mr. Fandal: Statements regarding the land and flood elevation.
William Jarrell: Mr. Cloutet can confirm the flow of drainage of the property.
Mr. Gordon: Ask Engineering if they are reviewing plans?

OVERVIEWThe applicant is requesting to allow for the removal of all existing trees within the front, sides andrear buffers, to allow for the construction of a commercial building.
STAFF COMMENTSAs stated in the attached narrative, all existing trees (mostly pines trees) located on the propertyare requested to be removed to allow for the construction of a commercial building. As per theUnified Development, Division 2. Landscaping and Tree Preservation Regulations requires thatall existing trees over 6” inches in caliper be preserved within the required buffers on commerciallyzoned properties. Moreover, landscape requirements and preservation of the trees are intended toreduce harmful impacts of wind, heat and noise, to preserve underground water reservoirs, topermit the return ofprecipitation to the groundwater strata and to act as natural drainage system tominimize drainage problems, prevent storm erosion, to provide shade and to enhance the blightedappearance ofparking lots.
Staff sees no compelling reason to recommend approval, considering that no hardship has beendemonstrated.
Note that land clearing permit has been issued and staff visited the site allowing applicant toremove existing damage trees within the buffers.

Re: 69424 Hwy 59, Mandeville, LA 70471
Dear Board Members,
I would like to request a variance to cut all the trees in the lot within the required setbacks around theproperty for the following reasons:
a.) Considering the small size of the lot, the proposed building and concrete driveway (please seeattached site plan and tree survey), Buster’s Tree Removal’s recommendation is to remove all treesbefore construction as trees within the set backs will be damaged by construction and more likely notlive. Once the building is in place, there will be no way for dead trees to come down.
b.) The lot has a narrow width/frontage of 75’ and it has 2 existing power poles on the South side of it.The trees situated in the setbacks being too close to the the power pole pose a safety! fire hazards topublic or individuals as it branches, trunks and leaves touch the electric line.
c.) The trees situated in the setbacks are potentially dangerous being high (approximately between 30’-40’) and close to the proposed building and that if natural and catastrophic disaster come such ashurricanes (in which Louisiana is known for), tree falls may cause accidents, fatal injuries or even lostof lives and destruction of property.
d.) The roots of the trees within the setbacks around the proposed building had expanded and couldexpand 2-3 times it’s crown width and are potentially destructive and can cause damages to theproposed concrete driveway, slab foundation of the building and even pipes as they can spreadhorizontally underground. It’s overhanging branches which can easily break and snap off on highwinds can also cause damages to the roof and block the gutters.
Thank you for your kind consideration and understanding.
Sincerely,
Par~& R. Barbee

OVERVIEWRequest by applicant to reduce the required rear yard setback from 25 feet to 20 feet to allow fora patio addition.
STAFF COMMENTSThe variance is being requested to allow for the construction of a patio addition, which wouldallow to approximately double the size of the existing patio and extend 5 feet into the rear setback.Staff is not in support of the requested variance considering that no evidence of hardship orpractical difficulty have been demonstrated to warrant support the encroachment within therequired rear yard setback.

Neighbors,
I’m contemplating adding on to my back patio as well as installing a pool. The patio addition wouldrequire me to build beyond the standard set back restrictions that are currently in place. I’m asking theParish for a 5’ variance. HOA initially said they would approve if the parish was OK with it. In order forthe Parish to approve, I have to provide written consent from my neighbors. The pool design ispreliminary, and subject to change the layout — I will not be going with the gravel / service area. At thispoint, it’s just an overall concept that I’m using to seek approval, and if it’s a go, I’ll be finalizing theparticulars.
I’m asking you to review the documents included in this packet, and return to my mailbox at 801 GreenLeaf Circle. Any questions, contact me at 985-259-5048.
Thanks,
Jon Lorlo

Dear Helen,
S.R. Maddox <[email protected]>Monday, December 02, 2019 10:10AMHelen LambertPine Cone Lot 76 Oak Knoll Subdivision
I understand that tomorrow at 3pm there is a hearing regarding a variance on the land next to my land, which islocated at 28088 Pine Cone Road.
I’ve attached an image here - it’s not to scale, it’s just to give some reference.

Regarding the replanting of timber, my wife and I strongly advise against permitting a variance. We own theproperty at 28088 Pine Cone, and my mother in law, Lisa Sigsworth, owns 28070 Pine Cone.
Since the clearing of the trees, we’ve run into essentially two main issues:
/
• Silt filt at . n ntocreek from cleared
property, acro $ Uiia~ncl. /
::Z~Z~Iz~Pr
~Rfl8SPint. C.~:ui~
1
1. Silt/Erosion There’s no ground cover sufficient to prevent erosion. This area sees significant water flowacross Pine Cone Road onto the cleared property, and that water can often times travel at a decentvelocity and gets fairly deep (20 inches or so is not uncommon).
With the clearing and the trucking in of additional fill, the land is eroding rapidly and silt is infiltratinginto the drainage ditch on the road frontage. It often fills the ditch completely, and I have on severaloccasions rented equipment to clear the ditch myself. The ditch being full causes water further towards28070 to be unable to exit the property efficiently and causes more widespread flooding of the area vs.flowing through the ditch and the natural waterways.
The silt also crosses our land, building up silt piles on our land (28088) and ultimately winding up in thenatural creek in the back of the property. This creek typically floods in a heavy rain, but now it is unableto handle the typical volume of water and backs up significantly more onto 28088 and 28070 pine coneroad. This poses a few problems because now the water starts to rise getting much closer to thedwellings on both properties.
We would suggest to the property owner that some trees with dense root systems and a proclivity torequiring a lot of water. This will help slow the erosion and the flow of water over the land.
In our view, it would be simple enough to plant around the borders of the land and around the naturalwater flows on the property, while adding a settling pond, allowing a good portion of clear pasture landwithout impacting the neighboring plots.
I have had a conversation with the landowner and asked if he would like some help, tree plugs (we havemany), and how we can work together to ensure both of our properties are usable and undamaged.
2. Water flow - The trees provided a significant consumption of water; In addition to the erosion issues,what’s happening now is that water does not stay on the property very long, it flows right off intoeverybody elses’ land. While this may be an engineering issue, simply having plants that can consume asignificant amount of water slows this flow and leads to less flooding on the property in question andsurrounding properties.
I would like to re-iterate that we offered assistance to the land owner, Jeff~, and tried to ensure we collaboratedto make sure that he could use the land as he saw fit and we could avoid major impact to our land and theneighborhood. We offered trees and pine plugs, we offered to work with him and the parish to come up with adrainage plan that avoided the significant flooding of existing houses, we even offered to purchase the propertyand restore it to its’ natural state. At some point, we requested a shared financial responsibility for bringing theproperty back up to the standards required by St. Tammany parish, at which point Jeff s attitude changed, and hepretty much refused to work with us in any capacity.
We do not wish to prevent his use of the land, only to ensure that the water and silt don’t create constantproblems that diminish property values and ruin the natural beauty of the land. We feel that the trees are anintegral part of this, and could have been cleared much more prudently. We will offer the landowner whateverwe can in terms of pine plugs, as we have hundreds of them at a perfect age to transplant.

From: Golden Oaks Oak Knoll <[email protected]>Sent: Monday, December 02, 2019 2:04 PMTo: Helen LambertSubject: Lot 76 Oak Knoll Subdivison/Pine Cone Rd Variance Request
Ms Lambert,Regarding the Variance request for Lot76 Oak Knoll Subdivision, the Golden Oaks Oak Knoll Property OwnersAssociation would like to oppose the granting of such a variance. The lot was cleared property line to propertyline, including along the creek that back of the property which has, and continues to caused issues for thesurrounding neighbors. With the amount of fill brought in, of which the STP Planning and Zoning Engineershave deemed in violation as well, and without the tree buffers to control erosion neighboring properties areexperiencing sediment running on their land hampering their drainage causing standing water. Sediment is alsohampering the flow of creek at the back of the property, which also causes water to back up onto neighboringproperties. The filling of Wet Lands, which is being investigated by the Army Corps of Engineers, as well asSTP Watershed is also another concern affecting the flooding of the surrounding areas.Further more, the filling of a creek that runs across the property from under Pine Cone has caused the road to
become impassible due to flood waters for the first time in anyone’s memory.Several Pine Cone Rd residents have voiced their concerns to the property owners and felt those concerns werenot taken into consideration.As a neighborhood, and Association, we are welcoming of all new neighbors, we just need to insure that otherneighbors are not negatively affected by their actions.Respectfully,Keith Brown, PresidentRegina Bourgeois, Vice President

From: Lisa Sigsworth <[email protected]>Sent: Monday, December02, 2019 2:49 PMTo: Helen LambertSubject: Pine Cone Road
Good Afternoon,My name is Lisa Sigsworth and I live at 27080 Pine Cone Road. We have lived here for 3 years. When webought the property from Kathryn Chaisson, our disclosure and FEMA paperwork ensured us that the propertyhad never flooded. The most water they had seen would only come up to the very back of the property. Sincethe new neighbor clear cut the property and removed and clogged the seasonal waterways, the silt has causedour property to flood in the back almost to our home and also made the driveway impassable with anyrainstorms. The trees prevented the silt runoff by soaking up the excess water and by keeping the dirt containedwithin the property boundaries. The sand and dirt he hauled in for his pad were not contained and theyrepeatedly floated out to further hinder the proper flow of the property. Our property has been adverselyaffected by the trees being clear cut and the waterways removed and blocked by the tree logging, bamlhousepad dirt flow and the water no longer being contained, drained and soaked up by the trees and the naturalwaterways and wetlands. The natural wetlands have also been damaged in the back preventing the naturalhabitat to soak up the excess water and with the trees gone, the natural wetlands habitat has no protection.The trees need to be replaced to help with land management, waterway management and wetlandsmanagement. The natural streams need to be replaced along with the wetlands.Thank you for your consideration to the needs of our properties and homes.Lisa Sigsworth

OVERVIEWThe applicant is requesting to remove a live oak tree without in kind on site replacement of thetrees and/or payment to the tree bank.
STAFF COMMENTSThe request consist of the removal of one live oak tree located within the southern buffer. Theremoval of the live oak is necessary due to the fact that the roots of the tree are growing into theseptic system. After recent inspection, DEQ determined that the system has to be upgraded,resulting in the need to remove the live oak tree in question. Staff agrees that in kind replanting oflive oak trees or other species of trees on the site is questionable, since there are a large number ofexisting trees within all the buffers. However, staff recommends payment to the tree bank.

Request for Variance
We are requesting to remove one live oak tree without mitigation due to the following: upgrade andrepair septic system is required due to the more stringent DEQ. parish requirements and septic systemtree root damage. Removal of one live oak is necessary as it is growing into the septic system and mustbe removed to repair and upgrade the septic system. (The DMR septic system testing limits werechanged after the septic system was already in place.) For these reasons, an updated septic system isrequired to comply with the more stringent testing limits for the septic system and repair root damageto the septic system which is located on the south side of the property (which is next to the street). Theproperty/lot currently has ten full size oak trees. Because of the number of trees and the footprint of thebuilding and paved parking area, there is limited replanting space. Successful replanting is questionabledue to the number of existing trees and limited available light because of the size of the trees. Due tothese mitigating circumstances and the financial hardship of these costs, we are requesting a variancewithout mitigation. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

GENERAL INFORMATIONApplicant & Representative: Kirk J. FroschLocation of Property: 816 Fawn Road, Mandeville, LouisianaZoning of Property: A-4 Single Family Residential Zoning DistrictVariance(s) Requested: Reduce the required side yard setback.
OVERVIEWThe applicant is requesting to reduce the required side yard setback from 10 feet to 6 feet, 4 & 1 8inches for an accessory structure.
STAFF COMMENTS
The request is to allow for the construction of an accessory structure consisting of a garage, activityroom & outdoor kitchen. As stated in the attached narrative, the proposed accessory building hasto be elevated to meet the required flood elevation resulting in the need to provide landings andset-ups to the new structure and causing an encroachment into the 10’ required side yard setback.Staff is not in favor of the request considering that the size of the building could be reduced tomeet the minimum side yard setback requirement.

This letter is to request a variance to the required 10 foot sideline setback of theordinances of St. Tammany Parish. The following facts and circumstances are presented foryour consideration and support the granting of our request..
My wife and I planned improvements to our property consisting of two buildings. Onewas a garage and activity room and a second structure being an outdoor kitchen next to our pool.Our first set of pians were approved by the Deerfield Architectural Control Committee(“DACC”) and had one structure 5 feet from the sideline. The plans were submitted to the St.Tammany Parish Department of Planning & Development to obtain a permit.
We were informed that the Parish began using the “proposed flood maps” for permittingpurposes and it would require us to build the accessory buildings higher than originallyproposed. A second set of plans were ordered and required landings and step-ups to the newstructures. The landing between the pool deck and outdoor kitchen moved the building towardthe 10 foot setback. The two buildings were combined into one structure to reduce the widthassociated with the step-up landings. The proposed building was also 5 feet from the sideline.
The second set of plans were then approved by the DACC and submitted to the Parish.The Parish informed us that the footprint of the structure exceeded the square footage limitallowed and went over the 10 foot setback. The person we hired to draw up the plans failed toinform us of these limitations and two sets of drawings and engineering plans had beencompleted and paid for.
We hired a new architect, with knowledge of the ordinance limitations, who worked thefloor plans a number of ways to produce a foot print that complied with the square footage limit.However, the corner of the building extended over the 10 foot side setback.
The shape of our lot presents a hardship in that the rear is 150 wide and narrows to 58feet front on Fawn. The road frontage is further reduced when taking out the curve of the cul-desac which reduces the frontage to 53 feet. The three angles of the “pie shaped” configuration ofour lot has the left rear angle of 71 degrees (proposed location of improvement), right rear angleis 83 degrees and finishes with an angle of 25 degrees on the street side. The steep angle of theleft sideline requires the structure to be placed further toward the rear of the lot and wouldrequire removal of mature trees.
Secondly, the brick used for the construction of the current home is no longer available.Therefore the brick will not match and the distance between the existing home and theimprovements needs to be increased to make the difference less noticeable.
Finally, drainage of the property goes in 2 directions. The rear portion of the lot drains tothe rear, which is a drainage branch running northlsouth along the rear boundary. The frontportion drains to the street. The existing home has subsurface drainage from the rear downspoutsthat pass between the proposed outdoor kitchen and the pool decking. The placement of thesedrain line were made by the installer who used the first set of the DACC approved plans.Subsequent plans have to consider the location of these drain lines which move the rain water tothe rear of the lot and drainage branch.
The third set of plans have been approved by the DACC and our adjoining neighborshave no objection to the portion of the structure that goes beyond the 10 foot side setback line.
We believe that our request for a variance should be granted.

We are the owners of Lot 8 of Deerfield Subdivision Phase 2. Our lot is adjacent to theFrosch’s home. They have provided me with plans of their intended improvements.
The proposed structure would be located between our home and the Frosch’s home.
This letter will confirm that I have reviewed the Frosch’s planned improvements whichencroaches into the 10 foot setback line from the boundary line between our properties. Our homeis thirty-six feet from the property line and over forty-two feet from the nearest corner of theproposed building.
This letter will confirm that we do not object to said encroachment and ask that you approvethe setback variance request to allow the Froschs to obtain a building permit.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Applicant & Representative: Jacob & Angelina Van Wynen.Location of Property: 147 Bertel Drive, Covington, Louisiana.Zoning of Property: A-3 Suburban Zoning DistrictVariance(s) Requested: After the fact variance to waive the required 10 foot side yard
setbackOVERVIEW
The applicant is requesting an after the fact variance to waive the required 10 foot side yard setbackfor an accessory structure.
STAFF COMMENTSAfter locating the property corners, the applicant determined that the accessory structure iscurrently located 7 feet from the side property line. The variance is requested to be amended, toreduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 7 feet. Although the size of the setback variancerequest has been reduced, staff is not in favor of the request considering that no evidence ofhardship or practical difficulty have been demonstrated to warrant support the encroachmentwithin the required rear yard setback. Moreover, it does not appear that the property has uniquephysical characteristics or conditions making it impossible to meet the setback requirements.

- fl3q ~}The shed in question sits in the south west corner of our property. It lays on a foundation which wasbuilt as part of its installation. To build the foundation, they leveled out the area and installed largecinderblocks to support the structure and ensure its permanence on the site. Additionally, we havelarge bushes and trees in the surrounding area, making it unreasonably difficult and expensive to moveit.
When we purchased this shed, we wanted to make sure that it was installed to withstand all of themany possible weather disasters common in this area. Subsequently, these added methods of securitymake it all the more difficult to change the location.
