PUBLIC HEARING ON MOSSY OAK PUD
What is a PUD? The acronym stands for Planned Unit Development and permits more density than present zoning allows. Opposition to this type of development continues to swell. It is part of the “smart growth” movement that allows more homes on less land. Citizens are working with elected officials to abolish the ordinances that allow this type of growth.
Join others on November 4th at the Parish Council meeting at the Donaldsonville Courthouse on the 2nd floor, @6:00 p.m. Citizens are required to fill out a public comment card prior to speaking. Speakers will be allowed three minutes to make comments during the public hearing.
Please wear red to show opposition to all PUDS.
Mossy Oak will consist of 175 homes situated on 35.63 acres between Babin Road and Hwy. 74. Eighty percent of these lots will be 50' lots with zero lot lines. Mostly due to pipelines and wetlands on this property, 20.21 acres will be green space. It also seeks to have 2.18 acres on Hwy 74 rezoned from RM (Medium residential which allows 3 units per acre) to MU-2 (Mixed Use-2 which allows 4 units per acre with commercial). This area will be adjacent to a day care center. The plan does not clearly specify what businesses would locate here.
