EDWARDS, J.,
dissents with reasons.
hi respectfully dissent. I disagree with the majority opinion that there is no conflict between the State statute and the St. Charles Parish ordinances. La. R.S. 9:5625 provides for a five-year prescriptive period after receiving written notification of a nonconforming use violation for a municipality to bring an action for conformity. That statute is applicable under the facts of this case and clearly supersedes the local ordinance relied upon by the Parish that provides that continuing violations constitute new and separate violations.
*900Accordingly, I would affirm the ruling of the trial court.
