Upon motion of Ryan Breaux, duly seconded by Neil Melancon and unanimously carried, the Board of Aldermen opened the meeting to consider the appeal from property at 650 St. Charles Street, concerning the City’s denial of a permit for an accessory building.
The board of Aldermen unanimously elected Eddie LeBlanc as chair-person for the Board of Adjustments.
Jeremy Broussard, Planning and Zoning Director, discussed and explained that the request of an accessory building at 650 St. Charles Street violated city ordinances and therefore was denied. The ordinances in violation are: Ordinance Sec. 23-4.19, 23-4.25, 23-4.27, and 23-5.3. these ordinances here passed by the City Council by Ordinance No. 2232, 8-8-2017, No. 2247,

Bart Hebert, City Attorney, explained to the Board of Adjustments that the decision can be tabled, ask for more information, take the time to review all of the documents concerning this appeal. Mr. Hebert also suggested that if the Board of Adjustments would consider making a variance, the Board take it under advisement so the variance would be under the circumstances.
Mr. Nick Chauffe discussed and explained that the request of an accessory building at
650 St. Charles Street was a lack of process. Mr. Chauffe continued to say that Mr. Broussard gave him incorrect information.
The Board of Adjustments decided to take this request under advisement.
Upon motion of Ryan Breaux, duly seconded by Neil Melancon and unanimously carried, the Board of Adjustments adjourned the meeting.
