Stillwater development could bring 230+ homes to Comite Drive

A subdivision with more than 230 homes is being proposed on a roughly 90-acre tract along Comite Drive in Baker.

Plans for the 235-lot Stillwater Subdivision will go before the Planning Commission at its May meeting. Civil engineer Lance Robichaux of LCR & Company submitted the application and tells Daily Report the team hopes to secure preliminary plat approval and begin construction as early as October.

According to Robichaux, about half of the land will be developed, while the remaining portion will be reserved for a detention pond and flood mitigation. Carencro-based J. Breaux Enterprises, LLC, is listed as the developer, and the property is owned by Dusty Dubroc, CEO of Double D Construction LLC, who purchased the site for approximately $520,000 in 2017.

The project falls within the district of East Baton Rouge Metro Councilman Anthony Kenney, who notes the plans were already in motion before he took office in December.

A community meeting about the development is scheduled for 6 p.m. on May 7 at Serenity and Praise Tabernacle on Hooper Road. LCR & Company will present the proposal and answer questions from the public.

“I want an inclusive meeting with the community and with the civil engineers,” Kenney says. “The biggest thing for me is making sure whatever concerns the community has, or the surrounding neighborhoods, that the engineers take that into consideration.”
