Calcasieu Parish Police Jury May 8, 2025 Lake Charles, Louisiana The Police Jury of Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, met in Regular Session at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, 2025, in the Police Jury Meeting Room of the Parish Government Building at 1015 Pithon Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana, with The Honorable Judd Bares, President, presiding. Call to Order by President Bares. Invocation and Pledge of Allegiance. (Mr. Bowers) Roll Call. PRESENT: Ms. Mary Kaye Eason; and Messrs. Brian Abshire, Joe Andrepont, Anthony Bartie, Mitch Bowers, Randy Burleigh, Tony Guillory, Ron Hayes, Chris Landry, Eddie Lewis, Jr., Roger Marcantel, Mike Smith, and Tony Stelly ABSENT: Mr. Darby Quinn OTHERS PRESENT: Mr. Dane R. Bolin, Parish Administrator; Ms. Jessica D. Booth, Director of Administration; Mr. Wesley W. Crain, Director of Planning and Development; Ms. Kelly Fontenot, Parish Treasurer/Finance Director; Mr. Samuel Gabb of Plauche, Smith and Nieset, General Counsel; Mr. V. Ed McGuire of Plauche, Smith and Nieset, Co-General Counsel; Mr. Alberto C. Galan, Director of Parish Operations; Mr. Nicholas Johnson, Parish Engineer; Mr. Allen Wainwright, Director of the Division of Engineering and Public Works; and Ms. Jennifer R. Wallace, Parish Secretary President Bares welcomed the Calcasieu Parish Sheriffs Deputies in attendance and complimented their new uniforms implemented following the election of Sheriff Gary Stitch Guillory. 2. Planning and Development Consideration of approving the following items as requested by the Division of Planning and Development, and further, authorizing the President of the Police Jury, or his designee, when appropriate, to execute all documents related thereto: 2.A Approve an application for a liquor and beer permit for LCLA Investor Group LLC, dba Jellystone Park Lake Charles, 4200 Luke Powers Road, Lake Charles. (District 2, Mr. Smith) Motion was made by Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Burleigh and carried unanimously to approve the application. 2.B Approve the following for Caddyshack Icehouse LLC, dba The Shack, 7793 Lake Street, Lake Charles (District 7, Mr. Landry): (1) Approve an application for a liquor and beer permit for Caddyshack Icehouse LLC, dba The Shack, 7793 Lake Street, Lake Charles; and (2) Adopt a resolution approving the submittal to Louisiana Alcohol and Tobacco Control a Petition to Oppose Issuance of an Alcohol Beverage Permit for Caddyshack Icehouse LLC, dba Caddyshack, 7795 Lake Street, Lake Charles. Motion was made by Mr. Landry, seconded by Mr. Hayes and carried unanimously to discuss. Mr. McGuire said he would provide history on Caddyshack Icehouse LLC prior to the Police Jurors beginning their discussion and that the applicant for sub-items (1) and (2) was Caddyshack Icehouse LLC, which would be referred to as the applicant. Mr. McGuire advised that the applicant submitted a Local liquor and beer permit application for Caddyshack, 7795 Lake Street, Lake Charles, in 2024, and said application was granted in 2024. After receiving the Local permit, the applicant applied with Louisiana Alcohol and Tobacco Control for a State permit to operate as a restaurant. Once that permit was received, the applicant began selling food and alcohol. Mr. McGuire continued, saying that in 2025, the State investigated whether or not the applicant met the standards of operation as a restaurant. The results of the investigation, provided as an attachment for review, revealed the alcohol sales outweighed the food sales, thereby making the applicant non-compliant with the State requirement of more than 50% of sales from food compared to alcohol. For that reason, the State did not renew the applicants application at 7795 Lake Street, Lake Charles. At the time of the meeting, there was no active license at this location. Mr. McGuire explained the next steps for the applicant. The applicant had requested a new permit from the State to operate as a bar. He noted the Local zoning ordinance did not allow a bar within 300 feet of a residence; therefore, unless the applicant modified the structure, it would not qualify for a Local permit, which was necessary for State permitting. As a result, the applicant, with a Local development permit, installed a wall to separate the restaurant from the bar within the existing structure and received a new address for the restaurant component, 7793 Lake Street, Lake Charles. Regarding the sub-items, Mr. McGuire said 2.B(1) was the applicants request for a Local liquor and beer permit for 7793 Lake Street, Lake Charles and 2.B(2) was to consider a resolution approving a submission to the State Alcohol and Tobacco Control Board regarding the pending application with that office. Said application was for applicants new permit as a bar at 7795 Lake Street, Lake Charles, where a current Local liquor and beer permit was valid through the end of 2025. The Police Jury had the option, as individual elected officials or as a body, to oppose the State application. An approval of sub-item 2.B(2) would allow the opposition to be submitted from the full Police Jury. Mr. McGuire expressed his opinion as counsel that, because the applicant, Caddyshack Icehouse LLC, and the location were the same in all applications, the Police Jury was able to consider the history of the location and the applicant in making decisions for both sub-items contained within agenda item 2.B. President Bares advised that a video was submitted and asked that it be presented at that time. The staff broadcast the video as requested. Mr. Gabb advised that President Bares had three Request to Appear forms on this item, one from the applicants attorney and two from opponents. Mr. Gabb said two owners of Caddyshack Icehouse LLC had submitted requests to speak and decided to cede their time to their attorney. As a result, the attorney would be granted some additional time to speak. Mr. Adam Johnson, 1419 Ryan Street, Lake Charles, appeared before the Police Jury representing the applicant. He said the owners of Caddyshack Icehouse LLC were local business owners who raised their families locally and had an idea to rehabilitate a business, Putters, that had been at this location previously and was struggling for years. He noted that the speed of success achieved by the new endeavor had surprised the applicant and attributed the success to the uniqueness of the business, especially the golf aspect. While the success was a blessing, Mr. Johnson continued, the speed of it created some difficulties in mitigating the impacts on the neighbors, as evidenced in the video previously presented. Mr. Johnson said that, once the applicant was made aware of issues, the applicant quickly took steps to address concerns, specifically hiring private security, hiring additional employees to monitor the parking lot and remove litter, met with Parish leaders, and began construction on a new parking lot (until a cease and desist order was received from the property owner, the Airport Authority of Airport District No. One). Mr. Johnson said that, as the business grew, the applicant was told of the requirement to change the classification from a restaurant to a bar. The applicant filed the new application for a bar with the State. To change the Local license and comply with Local requirements per Parish staff, the applicant made structural modifications to comply with the Parish zoning code at significant expense. Said modifications included removing a putting green, obtaining a second address, and constructing a wall of separation between the restaurant and bar. The applicant took these actions with the understanding that doing so would allow the necessary approval to keep the business open. Regarding the expiration of the State license, Mr. Johnson said the State had issued an exemption to allow operations to continue after March 31, 2025; however, the exemption was for a marina rather than the golf exemption. He explained that when the applicant pointed out the error to the State, the staff on the State level said the issue was with the Police Jury, thereby stalling continuation of the business. Mr. Johnson reviewed the agenda item and stated that the State application connected to sub-item (2) had been placed on hold due to an objection. Furthermore, the proposed action would stop the business from operating, even under the existing Local license, which was valid through the end of 2025. Mr. Johnson expressed his opinion that the proposed actions made the meeting feel more like a revocation hearing without the benefits of a revocation process, receiving the costs of the application without the rights associated with revocation. He reiterated that the applicant had done all that had been requested by Parish staff and said the applicant had done so with the understanding that in return it would receive the needed approvals, not solely the right to apply. He said if the Local application was denied and the Petition of Opposition to the bar was submitted to the State, the remedy would be for the applicant to go to District Court. He added that the applicants preference was to reach a reasonable compromise without involving the court. To do so, Mr. Johnson suggested the Police Jury vote in the applicants favor, granting the application and denying the Petition to Oppose, and allow for development of a written document listing enforceable terms of approval that balance the interests of all parties. Mr. Johnson closed by reminding the Police Jury that the owners were present to answer any questions. Mr. Landry said the problems at this location had been going on for months and the applicant had now decided to address the issues. He referenced Mr. Johnsons statement that private security had been hired and said the private security had not done a good job as evidenced by guns being fired at an airport rather than at a gun range. When the applicant found that the private security was not successful, Mr. Landry said the applicant should have then hired the Calcasieu Parish Sheriffs Office (CPSO) to handle security, despite the probable higher cost. Mr. Johnson responded that the applicant was willing to hire the CPSO if it would facilitate the necessary approval to continue the business. Mr. Landry reminded Mr. Johnson that, several months ago, some of the owners met with some Police Jurors and some Parish staff to discuss the complaints and needed actions. Mr. Johnson said applicant had taken action. He used the parking lot as an example, saying the lot was designed to address concerns and the applicant had called the CPSO multiple times to tow vehicles without success. Mr. Abshire said there were no golfers using the business for that purpose after dark. He said the business was a bar and he personally would not want to live near it. Mr. Johnson reiterated that the applicant would like the opportunity to address concerns through a written agreement. He suggested the agreement could include restrictions on operating hours and an automatic revocation clause for violation of the agreement. He said the agreement would allow the business to continue to operate and protect the applicants investment. Ms. Eason said she participated in the meeting referenced by Mr. Landry and felt that the plan presented by the owners could have been successful. She said, being that the Police Jury was pro-business, the group in attendance at said meeting gave the owners an opportunity to correct the issues, but the owners have not done so. She added that if the Police Jury were to approve separating the restaurant from the bar, the approval would only increase the likelihood of problems as it would result in a night club on airport property across the street from a residential neighborhood. Mr. Johnson responded that the applicants lease with the airport specifically allows the operation of a bar at that location. He reiterated his desire for a written agreement to address solutions to problems. He said the owners left the referenced meeting with good intentions and took immediate action. Mr. Hayes expressed concern stating he believed there were 70 CPSO callouts and 7 arrests made at this location since the presented video was made. He said that he has issues that were not addressed after the referenced meeting, although the owners continued to talk about seeking solutions. Mr. Toby Hagan, 7810 Lake Street, Lake Charles, appeared before the Police Jury in opposition to The Shack and thanked the Police Jury for the opportunity to speak. He said the neighborhood had always been peaceful until the arrival of Caddyshack. He noted that since January 1, 2024, the CPSO had received a total of 152 calls regarding the violation of laws put into place to keep neighborhoods safe and quiet. The Shack was under the same ownership, in the same building, and would be the same business as Caddyshack. He asked the Police Jurors to pretend his home was theirs, with an elderly mother, a wife, looking forward to relaxing weekends in their place of solitude. He said instead they had walls and windows shaking from an outdoor DJ playing amplified bass in foul-mouthed music, with beer bottles in the yard, cars blocking the driveway, and the no parking area populated with underaged drinkers. He said this was their experience every weekend and begged the Police Jurors to vote no to issuing a license to The Shack. Mr. Jim Klepzig, 1084 Franklin Road, Lake Charles, appeared before the Police Jury to speak in opposition to a liquor and beer permit being issued to the applicant and said his home was a quarter mile away from the business. Despite the distance, he said he was subject to loud noises, gunfire, and increased traffic. He added that, if issues were only noise, gunfire, and traffic, he did not feel that changing hours, as Mr. Johnson suggested, would help as there was no hour in the day that those things were acceptable. On item 2.B(1), Mr. Landry made a motion to deny the application and the motion was seconded by Mr. Stelly. A reverse roll call vote was taken and the vote thereon was as follows: YEAS: Mr. Stelly, Mr. Smith, Mr. Marcantel, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Landry, Mr. Hayes, Mr. Guillory, Ms. Eason, Mr. Burleigh, Mr. Bowers, Mr. Bartie, Mr. Andrepont, and Mr. Abshire NAYS: None ABSENT: Mr. Quinn ABSTAIN: President Bares President Bares declared the motion as having carried unanimously to deny the approval of the application. On item 2.B(2), Mr. Landry made a motion to adopt a resolution approving the submittal of a Petition in Opposition and the motion was seconded by Mr. Hayes. A roll call vote was taken and the vote thereon was as follows: YEAS: Mr. Abshire, Mr. Andrepont, Mr. Bartie, Mr. Bowers, Mr. Burleigh, Ms. Eason, Mr. Guillory, Mr. Hayes, Mr. Landry, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Marcantel, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Stelly NAYS: None ABSENT: Mr. Quinn ABSTAIN: President Bares The vote having carried unanimously, President Bares declared the motion to adopt the resolution approving the submittal of a Petition in Opposition.
