ST. TAMMANY

ZONING
COMMISSION

Important Meeting Regarding
the Rezoning of the Mandeville Sports Complex

IMPORTANT MEETING, Tuesday, May 15, 6:00 p.m., Parish Council Chambers, Koop Drive

At the April 5, St. Tammany Parish Council Meeting, the zoning appeal by Mr. James Shields, the owner of Mandeville Sports Complex, was heard.  Councilman Marty Gould, who represents most of Quail Creek and some of Forest Brook, presented a proposal for the approval of Mr. Shields' appeal.  The proposal covered 10 items which need to be addressed prior to the hearing of the rezoning submission by Mr. Shields.  The Council voted unanimously to approve the appeal with the change being sent back to the zoning commission and these 10 items being addressed.

The 10 items are:
1.  Establish a working committee consisting of at least two commissioners, five residents, the developer, his assistant, and the project engineer.

2.  Establish the acreage being used at present for the Mandeville Sports Complex.

3.  Determine the new acreage being put into use.

4.  Determine the average density of Quail Creek and Forest Brook in relation to the total acreage, including retention ponds and other facilities.

5.  Establish density of new area to be developed based on the average denstiy determined in Item 4.

6.  Address parking issues associated with events held at the Mandeville Sports Complex.

7.  Provide 50 ft. buffers on eastern, western, and southern boundaries.

8.  Develop a single family layout taking into account impacts on adjacent properties excluding drainage and traffic.  These are to be addressed at the appropriate planning state.

9.  Avoid wetlands if possible.

10.  Ensure that a collection mechanism is established is a home owners association is to be responsible for maintaining the common grounds.

At the St. Tammany Parish Zoning Commission meeting held on May 1, 2007, it established a special committee of three Zoning Commission members: Richard Dale Mackie (Chairperson), Jim Davis and Anthony Lang to meet with all interested parties on Tuesday, May 15, 2007, at 6:00 PM in the Parish Council Chambers on Koop Drive regarding the PUD proposal for the Mandeville Sports Complex. Mr. Shields stated he would present a "revised" plan at the meeting.

Anyone and everyone interested in this matter should attend this meeting. It is a public meeting. It will not be televised. The three Commission members will listen to comments from the public following the presentation of Mr. Shields. They can also ask questions or make comments. They will not take any action at the meeting, but instead make a recommendation to the full Commission at its next meeting (June 5, 2007). The Commission usually follows the recommendation of the Committee, but it does not always. The full Commission should hear the proposal on June 5th and make a recommendation to the Parish Council.

Please contact Stephanie Ruoss at 674-3484 or president@qcpoa.org if you have any questions or comments.

COMMISSION

St. Tammany Zoning Commission Meeting Update
1 March 2007

The Zoning Change for Mandeville Sports Complex will not be heard at the March 6th Zoning Commission Meeting.  The matter was on the agenda for the February 6th meeting and was expected to be tabled because Mr. Shields, the owner of the property, was not prepared to present his new proposal for the development.  Subsequently, Mr. Shields was not in attendance at the meeting.  The Zoning Commisssion chose to hear the request anyway, and then voted 9-0 to deny the request.  Mr. Shields appealed the request and his appeal will be considered by the Parish Council at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, 2007.  Mr. Shields will need to convince 8 of the 14 council members to overturn the Zoning Commission denial.

We will be meeting with members of Forest Brook POA to join forces and determine our strategy from this point forward.  Please let Stephanie Ruoss, president@qcpoa.org, know if you are interested in receiving e-mail updates on this issues.  More information on our plan for proceeding will be coming around mid-March.
