Update 2022-03-08: Ten minute Work Session @ LCC 2022-02-07.

On the agenda for tomorrow morning’s Lowndes County Commission Work Session, county staff included the petition against REZ-2022-03 Windy Hill Subdivision, 7532 Miller Bridge Rd.. County staff note “RECOMMENDED ACTION: Board’s Pleasure or Deny”, unlike the other two options, where the second option is “Approve”. Those who do not want that rezoning to pass would do well to contact their Commissioners before the meetings, and then show up at the meetings, or at least the Tuesday 5:30 PM voting Regular Session.

For REZ-2022-01 Hamilton Green Townhomes, Bemiss Rd., 045D 006A, they cited a parcel that does not exist. The correct parcel number, 0145D 006A, was in the Planning Commission agenda.

Miller Bridge Road rezoning: Petition, Opposition parcels; Bemiss Road rezoning

As usual, county staff say rezonings do not cost the county anything. Nevermind that subdivisions far from county services will never pay enough in property taxes to fund sending school buses, fire trucks, and Sheriff vehicles, so all the taxpayers subsidize those costs.

Here is the agenda, and the board packet, on the LAKE website, received in response to a LAKE open records request. See also the LAKE videos of the preceding Planning Commission meeting, the Planning Commission Board Packet, and the Planning Commission agenda. And maybe Lowndes County staff or Commissioners read Secrecy of Lowndes County Commission and Staff. There are links from the above back to the relevant previous appearances of the Miller Bridge Road rezoning when it was up for 1-acre lots, unlike the current request for 2.5 to 3-acre lots, which is still inappropriate in a Agriculture/Forestry/Conservation Character Area, no matter what they say is within some arbitrary distance “nearby”.
