The company wanting to develop 181 acres behind the Target Shopping Center has agreed to hold a community meeting before it comes back before the Parish Zoning Commission for a vote.

At the request of the Association of Associations and the owner Maurmont Properties, a community meeting has been scheduled for April 18 at 6 p.m. in the Parish Council Chambers.

Commissioners Jay de la Houssaye, Anthony Lang and Sparky Arceneaux have agreed to sit on the committee looking at the project.

The developer has requested rezoning the property from SA Suburban Agricultural and C-2 Highway Commercial to a Planned Unit Development.

The site is located on the south side of Interstate 12, east of Louisiana Highway 21 and behind the Target Shopping Center and will use the new proposed interchange.

Plans for the land include a mixed-use development, consisting of condominiums, apartment buildings, single-family homes, a commercial village and a neighborhood commercial village.

It will have access off East Brewster Road and the future interchange.

As the plan was presented and tabled at the Zoning Commission meeting Tuesday night, there are 200 apartments on 10 acres, 144 condominiums on 18 acres and 193 single-family lots on 38.4 acres. The acreage lot size proposed for the single-family lots is 50 foot by 120 foot.

There are also 31.7 acres planned for the commercial village, and the neighborhood commercial village would make up 11.6 acres of the project.

The plans also include 14.4 acres of active open space, 15.4 acres of passive open space and 15.5 acres of lakes.

Rick Wilke, president of the AOA, said the developers have been working with the AOA but some issues still remain to be worked out, and therefore he requested the issue be tabled and the community meeting be scheduled.

" I was interviewed on set, most information is wrong. The journalist should be in trouble for false information stated.
My role as a FT. Extra was not outside waiting for a girl to get ice cream! I was inside with the actors in the diner! Jess was outside doing regular background. And actors dont have to sit around for 15hours, The crew does everyday, especially P.A's. Extras work 8-12hours. Most of the background/extra work that I do is less than $100/day. LA rates are $65/8hrs, $79/10hrs, $112/12hrs background pay. "

" Myson was stopped because of loud music. He was not drunk but his companion was. A St. Tammany Parish officer shopped him but was ticketed by Troop L. My husband saw him at Troop L before he was transported to St. Tammany. He said he WAS NOT drunk & didn't have bloodshot eyes, slur his words or was unsteady on his feet. Troop L Officer said his speech was slurred, had bloodshot eyes and was unsteady on his feet. Troop L officer lied; the judge accepted it as truth. Where is the justice? "
