23 minutes last night to approve 3:2 with many conditions rezoning the 6c. REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate, with no shouting afterwards like there was at at the previous evening’s Planning Commission meeting, yet a lot of grumbling at the Lowndes County Commission Regular Session, especially since they seem to have forgotten the greenspace condition.
I would like to commend the Commission for the amount and depth of discussion in this meeting, especially in the unscheduled 10. Commission Comments and Recognitions and Meeting Adjournment, which was mostly about Clay Griner’s idea of having a county-wide utility authority including all the cities in the county. Update 2017-10-20: moved the rest of this utility authority commentary down to the video item below.
Also not on the agenda was Chairman Slaughter comments on community response to Hurricane Irma (which were mostly about county staff; well-deserved especially for Ashley Tye) and Georgia Power Representative recognizes county hurricane response.

Valdosta State University gave the American Association of University Women Powell Hall for this candidate forum last Thursday, September 21, 2017. Why they held it in a dark room with bad acoustics, I don’t know, but at least you can see the candidates and other speakers.

There was shouting last night at the end of
REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate,
because some people didn’t like a recommendation for rezoning
even with numerous conditions attached.
That one took almost an hour, far longer than all the rest of the agenda.
Tonight at 5:30 PM this rezoning in Lake Park
goes to the Lowndes County Commision for the actual
decision;
they
already discussed it yesterday morning.
Below are LAKE videos of last night’s Planning Commission meeting. See also Continue reading
