President Bares asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to speak on this item.
Mr. Floyd Espree, 3506 Pine Knolls Street, Sulphur, appeared before the Police Jury and advised that he had done some work to bring the house into compliance, including installing screens for windows, repairing broken windows, rewiring electricity, and replacing missing shingles.
After questions from Mr. Guillory, Mr. Espree indicated that he would need 90 days to complete his repairs. To this point, Mr. Espree said he had spent approximately $35,000 on repairs and removal of hurricane debris.
Mr. Marcantel said the file on this structure had been opened in September of 2023 and that a number of extensions for repairs had been granted by the staff, with the last extension given 182 days before this date. At this time, Mr. Marcantel said, an unpermitted recreational vehicle located in front of the house. Should the Police Jury grant Mr. Esprees request for 90 additional days, Mr. Marcantel said it would mean two and a half years would have passed since the file was opened. Mr. Espree said the recreational vehicle was for his own use as he needed air conditioning and added that he felt the house was structurally sound and was livable.
A brief discussion ensued among a number of Police Jurors and Mr. Espree regarding the current condition of the house and the path forward.
Mr. Richard Harrell, 3503 Pine Knolls Drive, Sulphur, appeared before the Police Jury and said his home was directly across the street from the Espree home. He said that he considers himself a friend to the Esprees and had seen the structure sit vacant in the years since the hurricanes of 2020. Because of the condition of the house and property, he and the neighbors had seen theft of copper wire at the home, dealt with tall grass and rodents, and had to build fences to keep trash from this site on their properties.
After another discussion among the Police Jurors, Mr. Stelly said he felt Mr. Espree had expended $35,000 to make repairs and secure the house. He pointed out that Mr. Espree needed to obtain a permit for additional repairs.
Motion was made by Mr. Stelly, seconded by Mr. Burleigh and carried unanimously to defer action on the condemnation until the Regular Meeting on December 4, 2025.
