St. Tammany Parish Board of Adjustments : September 1, 2026

The St. Tammany Parish Board of Adjustments held a meeting on September 1, 2026, where several variance requests related to property development and infrastructure were discussed and voted upon. Key procurement-related topics included approval of variances for pool equipment setbacks, driveway width increases in an industrial park to accommodate large commercial vehicles, and installation of subsurface drainage with associated fill in residential areas to address erosion and safety concerns. The board also addressed a variance request involving front yard setbacks and after-the-fact approvals for retaining walls and fill. A notable procedural action was the rescinding of a prior denial of a variance related to boat house size on a scenic river, with plans to rehear the case. Throughout the meeting, the board emphasized compliance with parish codes, safety considerations, and the need for engineering plans and permits. Motions to approve variances were generally passed unanimously, and the board discussed the importance of clear procedures and adherence to rules for public comments and appeals.
