Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA) had one Lowndes County case at its 5 June 2012 meeting, VAR-2012-07, already posted separately. ZBOA, unlike GLPC, does actually make binding decisions, but chose not to do so at this meeting for this case.

First they considered two City of Valdosta cases, APP-2012-06 (Bill Nijem spoke for the applicants) and APP-2012-07, both about signs, one at Academy Sports, and the other at Gander Mountain, both of which had been tabled at their previous meeting. ZBOA approved both with conditions.

Here’s a video playlist. Audience left to right, with name, appointed by, and date term expires:
