PBOA 000218-2025 — manufactured home retention

Lucky, who developed Lucky Estates and lives directly behind the manufactured home, said the original permit was strictly for caregiver use and that the police jury promised the home would be removed when the last owner died. He called it an eyesore behind his $400,000 house and urged the board to enforce its rules.

Doctor, the family's closest neighbor for 25 years and their former pastor, said he cannot see the manufactured home from his property and disputed neighborhood rumors of a planned trailer park, urging the board to consider his perspective.

Jelanek's husband corrected distance claims, stating the manufactured home sits 95 yards behind one house and 126 yards from the main home, not the closely spaced distances suggested by the opposition.

Doctor argued any verbal promise to Buddy Lucky about removing the home doesn't bind Cindy Jelanek, who inherited the property, and noted the homeowners association expired in 2004. She praised the family's property upkeep.

Hernandez, who has lived nearby for two years, said she never noticed the manufactured home from the road and called the family great neighbors, urging the board to grant the request.
