Two detention ponds — city of Lafayette. Two ordinances are up for final adoption to declare as public necessities the Digby Road and Lake Farm Road detention pond projects, which would empower the mayor-president to acquire rights of way through purchase or expropriation. (Note: there are five detention pond items between the city and parish council agendas.)
Parish Council
Final Adoption
Stutes Road bridge. Council will consider declaring the bridge a public necessity, which empowers the mayor-president to acquire rights of way.
Two detention ponds — unincorporated Lafayette Parish. Two ordinances are up for final adoption to declare Lebesque Road and Robley Drive detention pond projects public necessities, which would empower the mayor-president to acquire rights of way and property either amicably or through expropriation.
Appeals
Mills Crossing development. Residents are appealing the Parish Planning Commission’s approval of the preliminary plat for the Mills Crossing development at the intersection of Vatican Road and Pope Drive. The nearly 21-acre development would add 90 residential lots. But 218 adjacent landowners have signed a petition expressing their concern that this development will exacerbate existing drainage issues “due to continuous flooding and poor drainage in the area where the subdivision is proposed.” The preliminary plat was narrowly approved with the added requirement of a new drainage study.
Board Vacancies
Lafayette Waterworks District South Board has a seat to fill. It’s for a one-year term that will start April 1. Applicants must be a district resident.
Appointments
Emergency Medical Services Advisory Board. Kirk Coussan will be appointed by local area mayors for a four-year term that started March 1.
Civil Service Board. The Parish Council will appoint one member to this board from the following applicants:
| Julie Broussard | Kylee Brundige | Monshita Givens |
| Andrea Hebert | James Ziler* | |
| * incumbent |
Joint Items
Introduction
One detention pond. If approved by both councils, the Homewood Drive detention pond project would be declared a public necessity, which would authorize the mayor-president to acquire the necessary rights of way and property for this project either amicably or through expropriation.
