Planning Commission To Be Discussed
The Lafayette City-Parish Council is slated Tuesday evening to discuss the idea of expanding the five-member Planning Commission. The proposal is being submitted by Councilman Don Bertrand, who says the number of people on the commission isn't enough to reflect the amount of growth and development in Lafayette Parish. Bertrand says the likely scenario is to add two members and perhaps two alternates to the panel. The change would require an amendment to the home rule charter, which would need approval from voters.

Moratorium on Trailer Parks
Lafayette Consolidated Government has decided to place a six-month moratorium on issuing mobile home park permits in rural areas of the parish for six months. The move was made at the request of City-Parish Councilman Purvis Morrison, who says he wants regulations for trailer parks to be similar to those for conventional subdivisions. Morrison says many mobile home parks have been established, only to deteriorate in a short amount of time. He says requirements such as paved roads rather than gravel, more space between mobile homes, and park areas for children would make mobile home parks better for residents and less undesirable for neighbors.
