Deploying Laravel to a Subdomain

I am running two sites on a shared hosting plan and I have been messing around with laravel. I notice that the public folder is the one which must be placed into the 'public_html' folder. The problem I have is that my main directory is for a site I use as the master domain on my plan and my development site is a subdomain which I have set as an addon domain in my CPanel. So when someone visits my development site it is actually a subfolder on my main public_html folder. How can I work around this when I use laravel for that development site?

When you add your subdomain in cpanel, set the document root to public_html/public and then put your laravel project into the subdomains public_html folder
