The 103.45 acre parcel just south across US 84 from Georgia Forestry
I’m guessing Richard Shelton wants to put a mobile phone tower on,
because it’s listed as
TWR-2019-01 on the
Greater Lowndes Planning Commission agenda
for tomorrow.
Much smaller counties manage to post the entire packet with the agenda.
At least this time the agenda is posted before the meeting without me having
to call and ask where it is.

Lowndes County still does not have a County Planner and now not a Zoner, either,
since Carmella Braswell resigned last month.
As usual, Molly Stevenson spoke for Planning.
I see she is now listed as
Department Head on some county documents.

This is between Old US 41 North and the railroad, between Valwood and Scruggs.

Misty Yeargan of 4501 Wellington Woods Drive, across US 41 from the point
of the subject property, wanted to know if there was a plan for the subject
property.
The proponent answered to say that there’s not room for a driveway down there,
so any driveway would have to be farther north, about where the current
driveway is now.
Acting county planner Molly Stevenson added that there would be buffer
requirements in place, as well.
They voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning with no conditions.

Chair Vicki Rountree
welcomed new member Debbie Sauls from Lake Park,
with no explanation, and the county and Valdosta’s web pages still don’t list her
(they don’t have the Chair correct, either),
but we found out what happened.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,
with a very few notes,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.

the agenda.
Mayor Sandlin stated that Council still needed to appoint a
replacement to the Lowndes County Planning Commission and the MPO
Representative to fill his seat. Member Taylor made a motion to add
the Lowndes County Planning Commission appointment to the agenda,
Member Barr second, all in favor motion passed. Mayor stated he had
recently spoken to Debbie Sauls and she agreed to serve on the
committee. Member Taylor made a motion to appoint Debbie Sauls to be
the City of Lake Park xepresentative to the Lowndes County Planning
Commission, Member Carter second, all in favor, motion passed.
The TRC considered this request. Zoning found this request
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. There were no other
objectionable comments.
Staff found the request overall consistent with the Goals and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, however, inconsistent with the
Character Area Map and offers the following condition: The use of
the property shall be limited to the principal use of a terminal for
freight by truck and accessory uses incidental and subordinate to
such a facility.
The GLPC heard this request at their February regular meeting and
recommended for its approval with the condition offered by Staff by
a 7-0 vote. For reference, the applicant’s agent was present to
answer any questions and no one spoke against the request at the
public hearing.

After Gretchen called Lowndes County yesterday,
last month’s GLPC agenda
magically appeared on the county website, along with a
2019 tab for it to appear in.
In her first meeting as Chair, Vicki Rountree moved right along,
even getting the opening reading of the set script down to barely four minutes,
even including invocation and pledge.
All the rezonings considered that Monday by the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) are in Lowndes County, not in any of its incorporated cities.
The two on Madison Highway appear to be coincidence.
REZ-2019-01 Jerry Stoker is apparently for one or both of the
two Stoker Development LLC parcels on Old Pine Road.
This is part of the general development of what Lowndes County staff
refer to as “Central Lowndes County”, as in their preferred development area.
Here are the LAKE videos of the first day of the two day Annual Planning Meeting
of
Lowndes County Commissioners and staff.
Gretchen is back down there today, videoing the rest.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each item,
with a very few notes,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.

Their longest item was
3. CU-2018-13 Scintilla Charter Academy‘s
request to expand from an Elementary School to add a Middle School.
GLPC recommended approval unanimously, as they did for all other such items.
