Lagattuta Estates drainage and access concerns, Luling

St. Charles Parish

Summary

Neighbors say the Gilbert family's planned entrance off the Diane Drive cul-de-sac could pierce a subdivision levee and worsen flooding that already leaves water near porches after heavy rain. The applicant's engineer disputed that, saying the site drains to the back canal. Construction details will be reviewed later through permitting.
