They were waiting on Demarcus Marshall. He arrived shortly with his own food. Can being the lone vote be worrisome? Here’s the agenda.

Agenda, Planning Meeting @ LCC 2016-02-04
Turns out they did post an agenda for the Planning Meeting this morning and tomorrow,
just not on
the county calendar nor in their agenda section.
Hm, Accountability Court: will they have to go to that?

Chancy R6M, Stallings Road Cemetery, 4 County cases, one to E-A @ GLPC 2016-01-25
The owner of
a parcel on US 41 South wants to rezone
from R-10 back to Estate Agriculture.
That Lowndes County case is the opposite of the Hahira case that wants
rezoning
from single-family to multi-family,
and there are many other cases in between, plus
another cemetery case!
Here’s the agenda for Monday’s Regular Session, and also for last Monday’s Work Session, even though it doesn’t say that.

5 cities & Lowndes County: Community Planning Meeting @ LCC Planning 2016-01-19

Videos: Heavy Manufacturing politics @ GLPC Special 2016-01-05
Even the Planning Commissioners weren’t told what company “Project Max” is, because
the Development Authority is still bidding the location as one of two
being considered by the company.
See also the
agenda
the
previous update.
Planning Commissioners did have quite a few questions about expansion, appropriate zoning, any potential pollution or contamination, etc.
Naturally, the Planning Commission recommended approval,
so the actual decision will be before the County Commission
next Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, here are links to the LAKE videos of the Planning Commission, with a few notes, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
Update: Heavy Manufacturing site provided by Langdale @ GLPC Special 2016-01-05
We still don’t know what company
might locate on Rocky Ford Road,
but we’re told it’s clean,
needs water to cool its boiler which will be fired by natural gas,
that it rejected Bassford Business Park because of air quality
(too near Sterling Chemical?), and we have the location of the new site,
which turns out to be on
land owned by Langdale Capital Assets, Inc.
Speaking for the rezoning from the Development Authority were Executive Director Andrea Schruijer, Industry Coordinator Stan Crance, and Chairman Tom Call. Every Lowndes County Commissioner was present. When asked how an agenda the same day was enough notice, Lowndes County Planner Jason Davenport said the Special Called Meeting was actually announced in the Valdosta Daily Times last week. Also that the rezoning will only take effect if the Development Authority buys the land first. Gretchen asked a few questions about parking: if the business is going to expand, will there be enough? Someone told Gretchen that the company would have solar power.
We shall see. And you will be able to see this meeting by tomorrow in the LAKE videos Gretchen took. Continue reading
Heavy Manufacturing rezoning on special called Planning Commission agenda @ GLPC Special 2016-01-05
Update 7:30 PM 5 Jan 2016: The land is owned by Langdale, and why not Bassford Business Park.
Henry Manufacturing (the one in Oregon? Decatur, GA?) on the agenda for a Special Called Meeting of the Planning Commission, just announced today, for 5:30 PM today. Apparently the Development Authority thinks it’s landed a big fish and wants a rezoning for it. Which 134 acres on Rocky Ford Road is not clear: there’s no such size tract according to the Tax Assessors’ map.
All the large tracts are owned either by Langdale Company or a Langdale investment corporation. Or it could be out of the 219.99 acre tract owned by the Paine Clarence M. Family Trust or the 187.76 acre tract owned by Griffin LLC. As usual, we the taxpayers are left guessing. Tonight at 5:30 PM maybe we’ll find out. -jsq Continue reading
Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant packet materials @ GLPC 2015-11-30
The mysterious missing materials from Monday’s Planning Commission meeting are on the LAKE website now, thanks to Lowndes County Planner Jason Davenport, by electronic mail today, 3 December 2015.
He explained that this requested zoning, REZ-2015-20, was a followon to
rezoning
REZ-2010-15 from 2010 for the new Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant, plus since then Valdosta had bought another adjoining parcel.
The materials explain the current concerns about buffers, setbacks, roads, other uses, noise, lights, etc.; see
the text pages.
The County Planner said the packet for next week’s County Commission meetings
will also include an agenda item cover sheet.
For all the other packet items from Monday’s GLPC meeting, see the previous post. See also the related variance VAR-2015-16 that was before the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA) Tuesday.
Here’s the beginning of the overview from the GLPC materials:
The main reason for this request is the current conditional requirement of a bermed buffer along the norther boundary of the subject property. Right now if the previously approved conditions (Attached toward the end of the packet), approved site plan (Attached . . ,), and ULDC are combined it looks like what is currently required to be constructed is Continue reading
