Ordinance 23-16 could be further amended first
Number of apartments capped at 90
Marina could be cut by developer
MANDEVILLE — The City Council is set to vote August 15th on whether the controversial Sucette Harbor project will move forward or fall by the wayside like other attempted developments on the west end of the Mandeville lakefront.
Developers hope to build a sprawling hotel, events center, adult living apartments, and marina on land donated to the LSU Health Foundation by Al Copeland Jr.
Ordinance 23-16 — introduced by Councilman at Large Rick Danielson about three months ago on May 11th — is scheduled for possible adoption at the next special meeting of the City Council August 15th at 6 p.m.
The ordinance has already seen significant changes by some on the council, most notably an Amendment by Councilman at Large Jason Zuckerman that cut the number of apartments from a previous compromise-number of 178 down to an astonishingly low 90.
At the last special meeting, Bill Hoffman, president of Woodward Interests, the project developer, warned the council that with the number of apartments locked at 90, plans for a new marina might have to be scrapped.
The meeting will be held at the Paul Spitzfaden Community Center at 6 p.m.
