St. Charles Parish residents, mark your calendars for a chance to voice your opinions on local zoning changes and other ordinances; the Parish Council is set to convene this Thursday, March 10, 2025, at 6:00 pm. According to the St. Charles Parish announcement, the venue for this public gathering is the Council Chambers, nestled on the second floor of the Courthouse at 15045 River Road in Hahnville. On the docket for public hearing and comment is a range of topics, from zoning reclassifications to contracts for significant infrastructure projects.
The meeting's agenda includes several hot-ticket items, some of which are requests for rezoning, like the Diecidues' proposal to change their 7 acres on Lot 4A of the Champagne Tract from O-L to R-1M, or Mike Nabut's proposal for changing zoning from R-1A(M) to C-2 on properties adjacent to 16830 Hwy 90 in Des Allemands, while other cases involve residents like Regina Joseph and Bobbie Beard requesting to modify the zoning on their respective properties. Also, on the table, are professional services agreements with various firms for consulting, engineering, and permitting services for projects ranging from road rehabilitation to coastal permits, with substantial contracts up for consideration including one with LA Contracting Enterprise, LLC for water main replacement work valued at $371,000.00, as reported by the St. Charles Parish.
Another key item is a resolution to cancel a previous ordinance and allow a temporary construction easement to help reduce flooding in the Ormond area. This shows the council's ongoing focus on infrastructure and environmental issues. In addition to zoning and contracts, the council will review audit reports from the Department of Wastewater, covering preventative measures for wastewater treatment plants to ensure public health and safety, as per the St. Charles Parish.
The council will also discuss community welfare, with reports from the St. Charles Community Health Center and the Parish President on various local issues. Residents can stay informed or share their views by attending the public hearing this Thursday, which will focus on the future of St. Charles Parish.
