Applicant(s) Name & Representative: JSB Dogwood, LLC - John Bowers Location of Property: 123 N. Dogwood Drive, Covington, Louisiana. Zoning of Property: A-2 Suburban District Variance(s) Requested: Reduce the required front yard setback from 50 feet to 25 feet OVERVIEW The applicant is requesting a variance to reduce the required front yard setback from 50 feet to 25 feet, to allow for an addition to the existing garage.

STAFF COMMENTS

As shown on the attached drawing, there is an existing garage on the site, which is proposed to be connected to the existing residence with an addition. The request is to allow for an addition to the existing garage within the front yard setback. Although, the topography of the parcel creates a hardship in regards to any other options to add square footage to the existing garage, the applicant’s request constitutes of a personal preference. Thereby, staff feels that no evidence of practical difficulty has been demonstrated to warrant support of the encroachment within the required setback. Moreover, the support or granting of such variance request may result in the establishment of a precedent in the parish. : .~

RE: BOA Case No. 2018-1339-BOA; Applicant JSB Dogwood, LLC - John Bowers

Dear Mrs. Lambert:

The board of Flower Estates Civic Association was asked if we would write a letter of support for the above-referenced case. The answer is no.

The restrictive covenants attached to residential lots in Flower Estates specify “...no building shall be located on any lot nearer than 50 feet to the front lot line...”

These covenants are posted on the Association’s website and recorded in the parish records.

The parish setback requirement is also a 50 feet setback. We respectfully urge your office and the Board of Adjustment to enforce the parish setback requirement.

The association treasurer and I met on the site with the woman overseeing the renovation of the property. She never mentioned having to adjust the plan in any way that would require hauling in red clay (as cited in Mr. Bowers’ handwritten application for a BOA variance). When we informed her that the board would not be supporting the request for a variance, she sensibly said she would have her people start reworking the plans.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. My cell is (504) 236-5556.

Sincerely,

Nancy Wagner President, Flower Estates Civic Association ST. TAMMANY PARISH BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT STAFF ANALYSIS REPORT

Case File Number: BOA Case No. 2019-1377-BOA Initial Hearing Date: 04/02/19 Date of Report: 03/25/19 GENERAL INFORMATION Applicant(s) Name & Representative: Magee Excavation & Development, LLC- Skip Magee Location of Property: East side of Highway 25, Covington, Louisiana. Zoning of Property: 1-2 Industrial District Variance(s) Requested: Waiver of the landscaping & Fencing Requirements.

OVERVIEW The applicant is requesting a waiver of the required landscaping and 8 foot opaque fence.

STAFF COMMENTS The site is proposed to be used as an outdoor storage yard for truck, trailers and fill material. Waivers of the required landscaping and 8’ opaque fence are being requested considering that the property includes a road giving access to the storage yard and also to other parcels of land. Staff is not opposed to the requested waivers of the required 8’ opaque fence and the required landscaping, only along the access road, in order to continue to provide access to the other parcels located along the road. However, staff feels that there is no compelling reason to waive the required fencing and landscaping around the sites identified as truck & trailer parking area and material storage area, on the attached drawing.
