[MEETING CALLED TO ORDER]
[00:00:05]
WE'RE AT THE JOSEPH S. YENNI BUILDING, 1221 ELMWOOD PARK BOULEVARD IN JEFFERSON, LOUISIANA.THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THIS MORNING.
I KNOW SOME OF US HAVE TO BE HERE.
SOME OF US ARE HERE WILLINGLY, BUT EITHER WAY, HOPEFULLY WE GET YOU OUT OF HERE IN A TIMELY MANNER TODAY SO YOU CAN FINISH ANY PREPARATIONS YOU MAY HAVE TO DO AHEAD OF HURRICANE FRANCINE THAT IS APPROACHING.
WE'LL HAVE THE LATEST ON THAT COMING UP IN THE NEXT LITTLE BIT.
THIS MEETING IS NOW CALLED TO ORDER, AND BEFORE WE GET TO OUR INVOCATION, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF MOMENTS OF SILENCE WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE THIS MORNING, AND I'LL START WITH COUNCILMAN BONANO.
I'M SAD TO REPORT THAT THIS PAST WEEKEND, WE LOST A LONG-TIME VENDOR FOR JEFFERSON PARISH.
WE LOST LONGTIME ARCHITECT, RUSSELL [INAUDIBLE], WHO WAS THE PROPRIETOR OF [INAUDIBLE]AND GRAVES.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COUNCILMAN BONANO.
ALSO THIS MORNING, A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THE FAMILY OF ANDREW PERRIN.
NOW, COUNCILWOMAN BOHANNAN, INTRODUCE YOUR GUEST, PLEASE, WHO WILL LEAD US IN TODAY'S INVOCATION? ALL RIGHT. GOOD MORNING.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE REVEREND DEACON MICHAEL HACKETT OF SAINT AUGUSTINE'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
THERE'S A COUPLE INTERESTING THINGS, THOUGH.
BEFORE WE DO THE PRAYER, I WANTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT HIM.
HE HAS BEEN A VOLUNTEER CHAPLAIN FOR ANGOLA FOR 32 YEARS.
HE'S A PARISH DEPUTY FOR 12 YEARS AND FOR FOUR YEARS WITH THE SECRET SERVICE.
STILL, OUR HEARTS AND MINDS FROM THE BUSINESS AND THE WORLD FOR JUST A MOMENT AND TURN OUR ATTENTION TO THE ETERNAL AND THE TRANSCENDENT HOLY GOD WHO LOVES US.
YOUR LOVE IS ALWAYS NEARER THAN WE KNOW.
WE SEEM ONLY TO SEE WEARINESS AND STRIFE.
WITH VICTORIES AND HARD WON AND FAILURES TOO MANY TO NUMBER.
PARTIZAN STRUGGLE BEYOND VIOLENCE, BEYOND DIVISION.
WE PRAY, LORD, THAT THIS VISION MIGHT BE MADE REAL HERE AND NOW.
I PRAY FOR THIS COUNCIL AND THEIR CONSTITUENTS WHO WORK TOGETHER TO BE CITIZENS OF A BETTER WORLD.
I PRAY FOR THIS COUNCIL IN ALL DEPARTMENTS OF JEFFERSON PARISH, THAT ALL MAY SEE BEYOND IDEOLOGY AND SELF-SERVING ENDS, AND WORK FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE COUNTRY THAT IS MADE UP OF SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
SEND US INTO OUR WORK WITH STILLED HEARTS, CLEAR MINDS IN THIS VISION OF LOVE EVER BEFORE US.
MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.

YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AND RECORD YOUR NUMBER.
ITEM NUMBER 44, 52, 60, 74 AND 81.
I'LL GET TO THAT AFTER THE CHANGE ORDERS? TOTAL INCREASE IN THE CHANGE ORDERS.
TWO DEPARTMENTS, PARKS AND RECREATION AND PUBLIC WORKS.
TOTAL INCREASE $2.439 MILLION.
I'M GOING TO ADDRESS THIS TO YOU, COUNCILWOMAN BOHANNAN.
I'D LIKE YOU TO EXPAND A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THIS THAN OTHER THAN WHAT'S ON THE AGENDA WITH THIS $10,000 IS FOR IF THERE'S MORE TO TALK ABOUT, AND WHILE I'M ON THIS SUBJECT OF LAFRENIERE PARK, I TALKED TO YOU A WHILE BACK WHEN YOU FIRST TOOK THE SEAT.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IS GOING THROUGH THAT PARK AND WHAT IT'S BEING USED FOR, AND AT THE LAST MEETING, YOU KIND OF HAD SOME COMMENTS FOR BLAKE PETERSON OR PATTERSON, WHATEVER HIS LAST NAME IS WITH THE ADVOCATE.
WHAT WE WANT IS ACCOUNTABILITY, AND WE'RE NOT GETTING IT.
WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY.
THE CITIZENS OF KENNER ARE PAYING $400,000 A YEAR FOR THAT PARK, AND WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY, AND I CAN TELL YOU A WHILE BACK, I GOT A REPORT AS TO HOW MUCH MONEY WAS GOING THROUGH THAT PARK, AND I LET THEM KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE IT, $1.7 MILLION.
NOT WHEN WE'RE PAYING $400,000 A YEAR, KENNER ALONE.
SO I WANT YOU TO GET AN AUDIT, A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH AUDIT DONE OF THAT PARK.
[00:10:02]
ANY COMMENTS, ANY QUESTIONS YOU CAN RESPOND.YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS IF YOU WANT TO WRAP UP AND THEN.
NO, I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD ON AND LET HER READ ARITA BAHANNA HAVE IT.
OKAY. WELL FOR THE PARK, THERE IS AN AUDIT DONE OF THE PARK.
IN FACT, THE PARK IS AUDITED IN THREE SEPARATE WAYS.
THERE'S THEIR OWN AUDIT THAT THEY CONDUCT.
SO THE PARK IS AUDITED SEVERAL TIMES A YEAR.
I DID NOT KNOW THAT IN OUR FIRST CONVERSATION, BUT I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT THE $10,000 THAT YOU SEE IN ITEM NUMBER 60, THERE'S A PUBLIC BENEFIT CORPORATION THAT'S BEEN STARTED TO MANAGE THE POINT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE THE FOUR RESTAURANTS THAT ARE INSIDE LAFRENIERE PARK, THIS 10,000 IS GOING TO KIND OF COVER THEIR BEGINNING OPERATING EXPENSES BRANDING OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT, ALL THE COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH JUST STARTING WITH BUSINESS STARTUP.
SO THAT'S WHAT THAT $10,000 IS FOR.
WAS THAT IT? WAS THAT THE EXTENT OF YOUR QUESTIONS? I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER IF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
OKAY. CAN I RESPOND TO THAT, SCOTT? YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS.
THAT'S FINE. I WANT TO SEE SOME FIGURES, COUNCILWOMAN BOHANNAN.
WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY FIGURES ON THAT PARK.
NOW, YOU SAY ALL THESE AUDITS ARE BEING DONE.
WHERE IS THE FIGURES? I WANT TO SEE SOME FIGURES.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IS GOING THROUGH THAT PARK.
I WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY IS GOING THROUGH THAT PARK AND WHAT IT'S BEING USED FOR.
WELL, WE'RE NOT GETTING THAT INFORMATION.
A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THE PARK DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO COVER SOMETHING, THEY'LL COME TO US.
SO I ASK THOSE QUESTIONS ALL THE TIME.
I THINK IT'S ONLINE, BUT WE CAN BRING YOU A COPY AT THE NEXT MEETING I'LL BRING YOU A COPY. BRING ME A COPY OF IT, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER.
I DON'T HAVE NONE, AND I DON'T WANT NONE.
ALL RIGHT. WE'LL DEFINITELY BRING THAT TO YOU NEXT MEETING.
ANYBODY ELSE? THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WITH COMMENT ON ANY ITEM ON THE AGENDA OR ADDENDUM AGENDA? GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS SHERRY SHULTZ.
I RESIDE AT 2008 NORTH WOODLAWN AND METAIRIE, AND I'M HERE REPRESENTING OUR NEIGHBORS.
THIS IS WE'LL GET TO THAT ITEM AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SPEAK ON IT WHEN WE GET THERE ON THE AGENDA.
ANYONE ELSE WITH AN ITEM ON THE AGENDA OR ADDENDUM AGENDA THIS MORNING? ALL RIGHT. WE'LL BE THERE BEFORE TOO LONG.

[SUBDIVISION ORDINANCES]
NUMBER 12, PLEASE, MADAM CLERK.SUMMARY NUMBER 26393 RESUB OF LOTS 71, 73 AND 75 SQUARE NINE B EAST JEFFERSON TOWERS SUBDIVISION INTO LOT 71 A AND 73 A, SQUARE NINE B ES-76-24 COUNCIL DISTRICT TWO.
WE CAN WAIVE THE READING HERE AND NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR SUMMARY NUMBER 26393.
ANYONE IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
ANYONE IN OPPOSITION? COME ON UP. RENEE [INAUDIBLE] AT 732 CANTON STREET.
I OBJECT TO THIS FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE DOUBLE ON MY STREET, WHICH IS ACROSS THE STREET FROM ME ON CANTON AND EVERY TIME THEY RENT THIS THING, YOU GOT TO DEAL WITH THE DRUG ADDICTS, THE PROSTITUTES.
ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION? YES, SIR. GOOD MORNING.
MARK HERNANDEZ, 825 CANTON STREET.
I'M TWO DOORS AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY AT 833.
SO I'M IN OPPOSITION TO IT FOR A FEW DIFFERENT REASONS.
FOR ONE, A DRAIN, IT'S A SERIOUS DRAINAGE ISSUE.
FROM BETWEEN THE INTERSECTION OF FOURTH STREET ON CANTON AND FOURTH AND THE RAILROAD TRACKS, WE'RE LESS THAN 300FT OF OF A BLOCK. SO YOU WOULDN'T EVEN CALL IT A HALF A BLOCK.
THERE'S TWO DRAINAGE CULVERTS ON THAT ENTIRE SECTION.
THIS STREET FLOODS WHEN IT RAINS EVEN HALF HARD.
WHAT WE'RE CREATING IS THE NEED FOR THE LOT.
YOU KNOW, THE FLAG LOT WOULD HAVE TO BE MUCH HIGHER THAN WHAT? THE EXISTING LOT IS TO BEGIN WITH, WHICH WOULD PUT IT HIGHER THAN ALL THE OTHER LOTS ON THE STREET, WHICH THERE'S ONLY TEN HOUSES ON THIS ON THIS SECTION OF THE STREET.
ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT I SEE IS WHAT THEY'RE ASKING TO DO WITH A FLAG LOT, AND BASICALLY PUT A 25 FOOT EASEMENT TO THE ADDITIONAL LOT WOULD WOULD NOT BE, YOU KNOW, IN KEEPING WITH A TYPICAL NEIGHBORHOOD, TYPICAL SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU KNOW, THE WAY LOTS ARE LAID OUT.
THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S USUALLY SEEN OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS.
SO, YOU KNOW, YOU'D BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE TYPICAL NATURE OF THE WAY A LAYOUT OF LOTS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE ESTHETICS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALSO.
THERE COULD BE A FUTURE SAFETY ISSUE, FOR INSTANCE, WITH ONLY A 25 FOOT EASEMENT ON A 120 SOMETHING FOOT DEEP LOT.
LET'S SUPPOSE THAT ONE OF THE PROPERTIES, ONE OF THE HOUSES WOULD CATCH FIRE, AND IF THAT DRIVEWAY EASEMENT WERE TO BE BLOCKED AND A FIRE TRUCK COULD NOT GET TO THAT IN TIME TO CONTROL THE FIRE, THEN THAT FIRE COULD JUMP TO THE NEIGHBORING HOUSES IF IT'S NOT CONTROLLED QUICK ENOUGH.
[00:20:06]
TO DENY THIS SUBDIVISION.I SUPPORT THESE GENTLEMEN FROM THAT SUBDIVISION AND OPPOSITION TO THIS, I URGE THE COUNCIL TO DENY.
ANYBODY. GOT ANY COMMENTS? ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.
I LIVE ON AT 806 NEWMAN, BUT I OWN THE PROPERTY NEXT DOOR AT 837 CANTON STREET.
THE ONE NORTH OF IT BY THE RAILROAD TRACKS, AND I WOULDN'T DO THIS.
HE ACTUALLY TRIED TO BUY MY LOT, BUT HE DIDN'T BID HIGH ENOUGH, BUT HE WAS PLANNING ON RUNNING A DRIVEWAY UP THE MIDDLE AND THEN SUBDIVIDING IT, AND, YOU KNOW, I REBUILT THAT HOME FROM IT WAS A TEARDOWN, AND I WOULDN'T DO IT.
I BELIEVE IN LEAVING GREEN SPACE AT HEART.
I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I AM A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER FOR MY WORK.
I KNOW HE WAS INVOLVED IN THAT AND I WANT TO SAY I SUPPORT EVERYTHING THAT MARK SAID.
HE WAS A SPEAKER BEFORE THE LAST INDIVIDUAL.
I THINK THAT A FIRE TRUCK WOULD HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME MAKING A 90 DEGREE TURN DOWN A DRIVEWAY, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CONSIDER THAT PEOPLE PARK ON THE STREET.
I DON'T SEE IT HAPPENING, AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE MONEY IN REAL ESTATE, DON'T DON'T SET OFF A PRECEDENCE LIKE THIS ON THIS STREET.
THERE AREN'T MANY NEIGHBORHOODS WITH LOTS OF THIS DEPTH IN A MIDDLE CLASS NEIGHBORHOOD.
MAYBE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AREAS OF RIVER RIDGE AND JEFFERSON PARISH.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS AS FAR AS I KNOW OF, BUT WHAT YOU'LL DO IS YOU'LL SET OFF A PRECEDENCE.
WHEN PEOPLE MOVE, THAT'S WHAT THEY'LL DO.
THEY'LL MOVE AND THEY'LL DO THE SAME THING.
THEY'LL THEY'LL SUBDIVIDE AND MAKE FLAG LOTS, AND THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY.
MADAM CLERK, NOTE THAT FOUR APPEARED IN OPPOSITION.
COUNCILMAN BONANO I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH ALL THE NEIGHBORS.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA, AND FOR THAT REASON I WILL MOVE FOR DENIAL.
SUMMARY NUMBER 26394 RESUB OF LOTS 1, 2,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9 , 10A, 11A, 12A, 13A, 14A, 15A, 16A, 17A, 18A AND 19B1 SQUARE 110 BRIDGEDALE SUBDIVISION SECTION C INTO LOT 14A1 SQUARE 110 ES-63-24 COUNCIL DISTRICT FIVE.
WE CAN WAIVE THE READING ON THIS ITEM AND NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR SUMMARY NUMBER 26394.
ANYONE IN FAVOR, PLEASE COME FORWARD.
I'M JAY DUFRESNE, REPRESENTING CROWN BUICK, THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY.
THOSE RENOVATIONS INCLUDED ONE EXTERIOR DOOR.
THAT EXTERIOR DOOR, BECAUSE OF THE CP ZONING TRIGGERED THE SITE PLAN REVIEW.
THE SITE PLAN REVIEW CALLED FOR ALL THE LOTS TO BE COMBINED INTO ONE.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
ANYONE ELSE IN FAVOR? ANYONE IN OPPOSITION? MADAM CLERK, NO ONE APPEARED IN FAVOR.

SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WALKER.

ANYONE IN FAVOR? PLEASE COME FORWARD.
[00:25:06]
GOOD MORNING. I'M WILLIAM MIDDLETON.I LIVE AT 208 LAKE AVENUE, WHICH IS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ADDRESS.
I WANT TO THANK THE COUNCIL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAR HERE HERE TODAY.
LAST MONTH, IN A RELATED PLANNING ADVISORY BOARD HEARING ON THIS PROPERTY, I PROVIDED A VERY TECHNICAL, DETAILED SLIDE PRESENTATION, ONE WHICH WAS APPROPRIATE FOR THAT FORUM.
FIRST, ON THE CENTRAL POINT, I PRESENTED PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DATA THAT IDENTIFIES THAT IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, SPECIFICALLY THAT BEING METAIRIEVILLE, RIGHT AT THE POINT BETWEEN THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND METAIRIE ROAD.
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, OVER 50% OF THE R-1A ZONED LOTS DON'T CONFORM TO AN R-1A LOT METRIC.
AS SUCH, THE WAIVER REQUEST THAT WE HAVE MADE ALIGNS QUITE CONSISTENTLY TO WHAT IS SIMPLY NORMAL AS VARIATIONS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR APPROXIMATELY 194 R-1A PROPERTIES.
FOR CONTEXT, THE WAIVERS WE'RE SEEKING ARE REALLY BOTH TRIVIAL AND MODEST.
IT JUST HAPPENS TO DIP BELOW THE R-1A LIMIT BY FIVE FEET OF DEPTH.
WE'RE SEEKING A FIVE FOOT REAR YARD TO REAR YARD ADJUSTMENT BETWEEN THE TWO PROPERTIES THAT I OWN.
BASICALLY WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS WOULD SAY MOVING THE FENCE LINE.
THERE'S NO VARIANCES REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE THIS.
REGARDING PUBLIC INTEREST, I DESCRIBED THAT OUR ABUTTING AND SURROUNDING NEIGHBORS ARE WELL FAMILIAR WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD'S QUIRKY VARIATIONS IN LOT SIZES AND ORIENTATIONS, AND AS SUCH, NONE HAVE VOICED ANY CONCERNS.
THE COMMON INTEREST THAT THEY HAVE EXPRESSED IS ENCOURAGEMENT THAT MY WIFE AND I ARE ACTIVELY PRESERVING FROM DEMOLITION THE 1930S HISTORICAL DUPLEX PROPERTY ON DAHLIA, AND THAT WE ARE MAINTAINING THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE IMPROVE OUR OWN RESIDENCE.
THE ASSETS OWNED A FARM IN THIS LOCATION THAT DATES BACK 100 YEARS, AND THE TITLE THAT I HAVE HAVING PURCHASED IT, I'M THE FIRST [INAUDIBLE] TO OWN THIS HOUSE ON DAHLIA, AND THERE'S FOUR GENERATIONS OF [INAUDIBLE] NAME ON MY TITLE AND I CELEBRATE THEM FOR PRESERVING, BUILDING THE HOUSE AND PRESERVING IT TO THE CONDITION THAT WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE IT OVER.
I THINK IT'S A FAIR CONCLUSION THAT WHAT I PRESENTED TO THE PAB WAS BOTH FAVORABLY RECEIVED BY THE BOARD AND NONCONTROVERSIAL IN THE PUBLIC FORUM, GIVEN THAT ONE, THE PAB MEMBERS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF MY SUBDIVISION APPLICATION AND EMBRACING THE MINIMUM WAIVERS THAT WE REQUESTED.
NUMBER TWO, NO ONE SPOKE AT THAT HEARING IN OPPOSITION TO MY REQUEST, AND THERE'S NO CONTROVERSY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON THE MATTER, AND REGARDING THE POSITIVE NEIGHBORHOOD SUPPORT AT THE PAB MEETING, I SUBMITTED A LIST OF 17 AFFIDAVITS SIGNED BY MY IMMEDIATE NEIGHBORS WHO ARE STATING THAT THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF THIS SUBDIVISION REQUEST BEING APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL.
I WANT TO CELEBRATE MY NEIGHBORS BY OFFERING THOSE SAME 17 AFFIDAVITS HERE.
THESE ARE NOT AFFIDAVITS THAT THEY DON'T OBJECT.
THESE ARE AFFIDAVITS THAT THEY ARE IN FAVOR OF LETTING IT GO FORWARD.
I'M AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN FAVOR? ANYONE IN OPPOSITION.
HEARING NONE SO ORDERED, AND THAT WAS ONE IN FAVOR, MADAM CLERK.
I PASSED THAT UP. NUMBER 15, I HAVE A NOTE TO DEFER UNTIL OCTOBER 16TH.
[RECLASSIFICATION OF ZONING - AND LAND USE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ORDINANCES]
COUNCILWOMAN BOHANNAN, YOUR MOTION.IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OWNER OF THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE IS HERE TODAY.
SO TRYING TO GIVE EVERYONE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO BE HEARD.
SUMMARY NUMBER 26397 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP OF LOT SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT AND NINE SQUARE 110 BRIDGEDALE SUBDIVISION SECTION C PORTION OF A PROPOSED LOT 14A1 SQUARE 110 SECTION C, LOCATED AT 2121 CLEARVIEW PARKWAY EAST.
[00:30:02]
MORE PARTICULARLY, AMENDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM R-3 MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT CPZ COMMERCIAL PARKWAY OVERLAY ZONED TO C-2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.WE CAN WAIVE THE READING HERE AND OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING NOW FOR SUMMARY NUMBER 26397.
ANYONE IN FAVOR? PLEASE COME FORWARD.
JAY DUFRESNE REPRESENTING CROWN BUICK AGAIN ON THIS PROPERTY.
THIS IS THE SAME ONE. YOU JUST APPROVED THE SUBDIVISION OF THE ENTIRE SQUARE INTO ONE LOT.
THAT SUBDIVISION REQUEST TRIGGERED A SPLIT ZONING SINCE PART OF THE PROPERTY C-2.
THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE ON THE BUILDING IS ALL IN THE C-2.
THE R-3 AREA IS THE USED CAR LOT, AND THERE'S NO PLANNED CHANGES FOR THE R-3.
SO AT THE PAB MEETING, THERE WAS SOME OF THE RESIDENTS WHO OBJECTED TO THE CHANGING OF THE R-3.
I DON'T THINK LEAVING IT AT R-3 WOULD AFFECT WHAT WE'RE PLANNING ON DOING ON THE PROPERTY, OTHER THAN IT WOULD BE SPLIT ZONING, AND THAT'S THE ONLY REASON IT'S HERE BEFORE YOU IS TO GET RID OF THE SPLIT ZONING REQUEST.
ANYONE ELSE IN FAVOR? ANYONE IN OPPOSITION? HELLO, SHERRY SCHULTZ HERE AT THE RIGHT TIME AGAIN.
I AM REPRESENTING MYSELF AND 18 OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO HAVE PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED SWORN AFFIDAVITS OPPOSING THE REZONING, AND WE HAVE PROVIDED DETAILED REASONS FOR DOING SO TO OUR DISTRICT COUNCIL MEMBER AND TO THE TWO AT LARGE COUNCIL MEMBERS.
THE PAB HAS RECOMMENDED DENIAL, AND I HAVE SOME HANDOUTS IF YOU'D LIKE THEM SHOWING THAT THE PROXIMITY OF THE FOUR LOTS THAT ARE AT ISSUE IN THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE PROPERTY TO ALL OF OUR SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOMES RIGHT NOW, THE PROPERTY THAT IS ZONED R-3 IS A SURFACE PARKING LOT, AND IT CANNOT BE USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE WITHOUT A VARIANCE.
WE OPPOSE CHANGING THE ZONING TO C-2, BECAUSE THAT WOULD GIVE THE OWNER NOW, OR ANY SUBSEQUENT OWNERS, THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO OTHER TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY NOT BE CONSISTENT WITH WITH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND WE'VE ALREADY HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THE DEALERSHIP NOT BEING A VERY GOOD NEIGHBOR.
WE DO HAVE SOME COMPLAINTS ABOUT CURRENT ZONING VIOLATIONS, AND WE PLAN TO ADDRESS THOSE SEPARATELY.
TODAY, WE JUST ASK THAT YOU FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATION TO DENY THE REZONING REQUEST.
THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION? MADAM CLERK, NOTE THAT ONE APPEARED IN FAVOR.
ANY OBJECTION TO THE DENIAL OF SUMMARY NUMBER 26397.
A MOTION OF COUNCILMAN LILJEBERG, SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN WALKER.
ITEM NUMBER 17, PLEASE, MADAM CLERK, WITH A NOTE THAT I WILL ABSTAIN FROM THIS VOTE.

WE CAN WAIVE THE READING HERE AND NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR SUMMARY NUMBER 26399.
ANYONE IN FAVOR? PLEASE COME FORWARD.
GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS ALFREDO.
[00:35:05]
REQUIREMENT UNDER SECTION 4477, PROVIDED THE PROPOSED LCD SCREENS ARE MOUNTED IN THE COLUMNS.WE HAVE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THIS.
WE BELIEVE THAT, YOU KNOW, BEING UNDER THE CANOPY, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE ENOUGH SUNLIGHT, AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO KEEP THE ESTHETICS OF THE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE ESTHETICS.
SO IT BASICALLY GOES AGAINST THE PURPOSE OF THE ORDINANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE THE IT'S A DRIVE-THRU COFFEE SHOP.
WE HAVE EMPLOYEES WALKING BACK AND FORTH WITH DRINKS AND THE LANDSCAPING ISLAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STRIPING WALKWAY WOULD REPRESENT A TRIPPING HAZARD AND ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD, GIVEN THAT THEY HAVE TO MOVE INTO THE DRIVING LANES TO DELIVER THE DRINKS.
ALSO IN FAVOR OF THIS, WE ARE PROPOSING TO INCREASE THE LANDSCAPING.
WE ARE ADDING 7800 SQUARE FOOT OF PERVIOUS SURFACE TO THE SITE, AND WE'RE ALSO PROPOSING SHRUBS TO PROVIDE A BUFFER BETWEEN VETERANS AND THE PROPERTY.
THANK YOU. SIR, CAN I ASK A QUESTION? THIS WAS THE COMPROMISE THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT WITH ZONING.
OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS THE.

MADAM PARISH ATTORNEY IS EVERYBODY GOING TO BE READY FOR EXECUTIVE SESSION QUITE EARLY? YES. WE'RE READY. OKAY, WELL, WE'LL KNOCK THIS OUT.
[PERSONS APPEARING BEFORE THE COUNCIL ON SPECIAL SUBJECT MATTERS]
SPECIAL SUBJECT MATTERS.THEN WE'LL HEAD TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
NOW YOU MUST SUBMIT A REQUEST TO SPEAK CARD TO THE CLERK.
YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES. PLEASE GIVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE LAST MEETING $223,341.65.
NOW I WANT TO FOCUS ON OUR JUDICIARY BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT.
I'M CALLING FOR THE RESIGNATION OF [INAUDIBLE].
I THINK THAT'S HOW YOU PRONOUNCE HIS NAME.
SCOTT [INAUDIBLE] AND JAMES GENOVESE.
WE'LL GO WITH 51ST REJECTING WARRANTS TO INVESTIGATE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND CHILD ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
I WANT HIS RESIGNATION EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
NOW, JAMES GENOVESE AND JUDGE SCOTT CHRISTIAN THINK THAT'S HOW YOU PRONOUNCE HIS NAME, PROMOTING THESE BONUSES IN ONE LUMP SUM, AND WHILE DOING SO TO THEIR COLLEAGUES, VIOLATING THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, BECAUSE THE CONSTITUTION SAYS THESE BONUSES HAVE TO BE SCATTERED OUT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, LIKE BONUSES FOR TEACHERS.
SO THEY EITHER DIDN'T KNOW THIS OR THEY JUST TOTALLY DISREGARDED THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION, WHICH IS A DISGRACE TO THE JUDICIARY.
NOW, I WANT TO EXTEND AN OPEN INVITATION TO CHRIS FARBMAN FORTUNATO, WHO'S MY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, TO COME TO THE NEXT JEFFERSON PARISH COUNCIL MEETING AND JUSTIFY JAMES GRAY'S SALARY OF $283,000 A YEAR AS SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE JEFFERSON PARISH SCHOOL SYSTEM.
I WANT TO KNOW $212 MILLION IS BEING RETURNED TO THE STATE FROM THE STATE LOTTERY.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT OUR CUT IS AND WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR THAT MONEY WHEN THEY CONSISTENTLY PUT REFERENDUMS ON THE BALLOT, RAISING OUR PROPERTY TAXES TO FUND TEACHER PAY RAISES? SINCE 1991, THE STATE LOTTERY HAS RETURNED $3.7 BILLION BACK TO THE STATE OF LOUISIANA FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND I WANT HER TO COME DOWN HERE AND EXPLAIN.
HOW MUCH TIME I GOT LEFT, SCOTT? 10 SECONDS. GOOD TIME.
ANYBODY GOT ANY COMMENTS OR ANY QUESTIONS? NOT CALLING FOR JEFF LANDRIEU'S RESIGNATION TODAY? IT'S COMING AGAIN.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, SCOTT, I'M GLAD YOU BROUGHT THAT UP.
SORRY. [CHUCKLING] BECAUSE, LOOK, I WANT TO SAY THIS TO THIS COUNCIL BEFORE I LEAVE THIS PODIUM.
I GOT A COVER SHEET AT THE HOUSE OF ALL 105 REPRESENTATIVES IN BATON ROUGE.
I GOT ANOTHER COVER SHEET WITH ALL 39 STATE SENATORS.
I'VE ALREADY TOLD MY MY REPRESENTATIVE AND MY STATE SENATOR THAT I HAVE THIS.
THAT'S YOUR TIME, AND I GOT THEIR VOTE RECORDS TO GO WITH IT.
[00:55:01]
SO I'M GOING TO DEAL WITH THEM A FEW AT A TIME IN EVERY COUNCIL MEETING.ANYONE ELSE ON SPECIAL SUBJECT MATTERS? YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES TO SPEAK.
LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT HAPPENING IN JEFFERSON PARISH; TRULY, IT'S NOT HAPPENING.
I OWN A SMALL DEMOLITION COMPANY AND A TRASH HAULING COMPANY, AND I HAVE A COPY OF A PERMIT THAT I PULLED TO DEMOLISH TWO PROPERTIES IN JEFFERSON PARISH 36.
IT'S A COPY OF THE PERMITS HERE.
ONE OF THEM, AND THAT'S THE OTHER PERMIT WELL, IT'S SOMEWHERE UP IN HERE, BUT THERE'S TWO PERMITS THAT I HAD OBTAINED THROUGH APPLICATION, AND I HAVE ALSO A LETTER FROM A CONTRACTOR BOARD.
STATE CONTRACTOR BOARD OF LOUISIANA.
NO LICENSE IS REQUIRED IF DEMOLITION IS UNDER 7500.
SO I DO SMALL DEMOLITION JOBS FOR $7,500.
SO WHAT HAPPENED WAS A CUSTOMER OF MINE CONTACTED ME FOR ALMOST SIX MONTHS THROUGH PHONE AND EMAILS BEGGING ME TO GET THESE PERMITS, AND I DELIVERED THE PERMITS.
I DELIVERED TWO PERMITS IN JEFFERSON PARISH AND THROUGH THE PERMITS OFFICE.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER I GOT THE PERMITS, I WAS KICKED OFF OF THE PERMIT, AND MY CUSTOMER TOLD ME THAT HIS ATTORNEY AND HIS FAMILY IS DOMINIQUE IMPASTATO AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
I WENT TO THEIR OFFICE AND SPEAK WITH THEM AND SAY, HEY, WHY AM I BEING KICKED OFF A PERMIT? AND YOU KNOW, WHERE'S MY MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THE PERMIT? IMMEDIATELY THE JEFFERSON PARISH OFFICERS THAT WORK IN THIS BUILDING, CORY WILSON SEVERAL OTHER NAMES.
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO GO BACK TO THE BUILDING.
THAT'S WHEN SHE HID IN HER OFFICE.
HER STAFF TOLD ME, HEY, WE'RE GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO SEE HER.
MICHELLE FORSYTHE, THAT WORKED FOR THE PARISH PRESIDENT.
SHE CAME AND I WAS AMBUSHED BY THE SERGEANT, WAGUESPACK CORY WILSON, STEPHEN QUAINTANCE, AND STANDING RIGHT OVER THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE FROM THE PARISH.
THEY HAD GUNS ON THEM, AND I SAID, HEY, I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING WRONG.
15 SECONDS. I CALLED 9-1-1 IN THE PARKING LOT AND I WAS ASSAULTED.
SO I'M SUING ALL OF THESE INDIVIDUALS IN FEDERAL COURT.
IF I CAN SAY THESE NAMES, IF YOU CAN ALLOW ME TO QUICKLY.
THAT IS YOUR TIME, SIR. IS THIS ABOUT THE PERMITS OR ABOUT.
WELL, YEAH, MY QUESTION IS IN COURT.
MY QUESTION IS, FOR ONE THING, MR. FERRARA IS HERE, AND HE CAN SPEAK TO SOME OF YOUR YOUR QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAD.
I BELIEVE THAT'S WHY YOU STOOD UP, RIGHT? YOU WANTED TO. OKAY, MY QUESTION IS, I PAID FOR THE PERMIT.
OKAY, LET HIM GRAB THE MIC SO EVERYBODY CAN HEAR, PLEASE.
OKAY, SO WE HAVE A PROVISION FOR CHANGING CONTRACTOR ON A BUILDING PERMIT.
A DEMO PERMIT FALLS UNDER THAT ALSO, AND IT'S IT HAPPENS REGULARLY THAT SOMETIMES THE CONTRACTOR TAKES THEMSELVES OFF THE JOBS. OTHER TIMES THE OWNER TAKES THE CONTRACTOR OFF.
WE FOLLOWED THAT PROVISION BECAUSE THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY REQUESTED IT.
SO WE IT'S IN THE LAW CHAPTER EIGHT, AND WE GOT EVERYTHING THAT THE LAW REQUIRES. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION THAT MY CUSTOMER WAS PURCHASING THESE PROPERTIES.
HE WAS NOT THE OWNER AT THAT TIME.
JACK FITZPATRICK, HE'S A NAMED DEFENDANT IN THIS LAWSUIT AS WELL AS WELL AS CYNTHIA SHENG.
SHE'S BEEN SUED. SHE'S CORRUPTED.
THAT'S WHY THEY HAD THIS WRITE UP ABOUT HER IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT SHE.
LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT LEGAL STUFF RIGHT HERE.
THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. DEFENDANT BEING SUED.
[01:00:01]
OKAY, BUT THIS ISN'T.THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR LAWSUIT.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE PERMIT ISSUE.
ALL I'M ASKING OF THE PARISH IS WHY DID THEY TAKE MY MONEY THAT I PHYSICALLY PURCHASED THIS PERMIT? I FILLED OUT THE APPLICATION, MY COMPANY.
IT WAS APPROVED BY THE PARISH, AND THEN BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE BETWEEN ME AND MY CUSTOMER.
HOW DID Y'ALL LET THEM WORK OFF OF THAT PERMIT THAT I PURCHASED? HE WAS NOT THE HOMEOWNER AT THAT TIME.
SOMEONE ELSE WAS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY.
SO ALL I'M ASKING, RESPECTFULLY, IS FOR A REFUND OF THE MONEY THAT I PAID FOR THE PERMIT.
IS THAT SOMETHING WE DO, MR. FERRERA, OR HAS THAT SHIP SAILED, SO TO SPEAK? THE PERMIT WAS NOT CANCELED, SO WE STILL HAD A PERMIT THAT REQUIRED A FEE, AND WE HAD THE OWNERSHIP INFORMATION AT THE TIME THAT THE OWNER MADE THE REQUEST TO REMOVE HIM AS CONTRACTOR.
I WOULD SAY THIS WOULD BE A CIVIL MATTER BETWEEN HIM AND HIS AND THE PROPERTY OWNER.
AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE ANOTHER, YOU COULD TAKE THAT UP IN COURT, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE ARE.
RIGHT, THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU. MADAM CLERK, LET'S GO TO ITEM NUMBER TEN, PLEASE, AND READ THOSE EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS.
[PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (Part 2 of 2) ]
