A yard setback on Thronwood Way and signs on Bemiss Road, both Lowndes County cases, on the agenda for the decision-making Zoning Board of Appeals.
Two parcels at 3323 Bemiss Road: 01108 102, 01108 103, VAR-2017-21.

They tabled the
Withlacoochee River Flood Inundation Map Project,
which is better than rejecting the idea of spending $40,000 to match Valdosta
for a composite 50% match for a USGS grant.
As expected from the previous morning, they appointed Chairman Bill Slaughter to the South Georgia Community Service Board, after he got that board to change the time of its meetings to be different from this Commission’s time.
They approved the REZ-2016-12 Salami, 3320 Bemiss Rd community well for a home school science facility.
Below are links to each LAKE video of the Monday June 12th 2016 Lowndes County Commission Regular Session, followed by a video playlist. See also the LAKE videos of the previous morning’s Work Session, and the agenda.
Video. A Commissioner after the vote appointing Chairman Slaughter asked what this board did. Chairman’s answer: mostly behavioral health, and they used to hold their meetings the same time as the Lowndes meetings, but they have moved them to Adel at 1PM presumably also on Tuesday.
Video. They reappointed Randall Crews.
Video. They reappointed Paul Alvarado.
Video. Nobody spoke against. The applicant spoke for, summarizing what had already been said in the LAKE video of the June 27th 2016 Planning Commission review of this rezoning request. The County Commission unanimously approved the rezoning.
Video. “The old country store location which has been out of business for a few months.” They unanimously approved.
Video. See the LAKE videos from the previous morning’s Work Session for more background.
Video. For quite a bit more background, see the LAKE video from the previous morning’s Work Session. Chairman asked for timeline. Ashley Tye said federal year starts October 1st, so Valdosta would like to have and agreement ready to sign before then. Also they could come back at a later time, but could lose out on the federal funding match.
Chairman asked for timeline to get agreement ready by then. Tye said agreement with USGS would be with Valdosta, and he would check back with them for a more firm date, and would probably be best to decide at next Lowndes County Commission meeting.
Commissioner Demarcus Marshall asked confirmation that waiting until the next meeting would work. Answer: tabling until next meeting would work. And that’s what they did.
Video. Same summary as in Work Session. They unanimously approved the low bid from Astro Exterminating Services.
Video. “No additional report.”
Video. No citizens wished to be heard, so they adjourned.

They vote Tuesday 5:30 PM.
Monday morning at the Work Session,
after some resistance from a Commissioner, surprisingly Chairman Bill Slaughter
argued for
paying the $40,000 to match Valdosta on the LiDAR flood maps
to prevent loss of life and property damage.
He even said “folks that live in our cities are Lowndes County Citizens as well.”
Emergency Management Director Ashley Tye answered questions the Commissioners didn’t think to ask about Continue reading
Monday morning, will Lowndes County match Valdosta with $40,000 for LiDAR for the Withlacoochee River Flood Inundation Map Project? They vote Tuesday 5:30 PM.

REZ-2016-12 Salami, 3320 Bemiss Rd community well for a home school science facility;

the LAKE video of the June 27th 2016 Planning Commission review
of this rezoning request.
No explanation of why there’s a vacancy on the South Georgia Community Service Board nor why Chairman Bill Slaughter is who they’re going to appoint. Reappointing Randall Crews to the Valdosta- Lowndes County Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals and Paul Alvarado to the Valdosta/Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA).

The
Comprehensive Plan Update was the
Other Business.
Staff mentioned the
many update workshops and said the Planning Commission could put it back on their agenda
after the
County Commission vote of the next day.
The REZ-2016-12 Bemiss Road Roy Rhodes rezoning is apparently some sort of science center for busing in home schoolers. “Coding? What’s Coding?” said Commissioner Ted Raker.
REZ-2016-13 Evelyn Lund 4701 Knights Ferry Road is a wedding venue.

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
AGENDA
Lowndes County South Health District Administrative Office
325 West Savannah Avenue
Monday, June 27, 2016 * 5:30 P.M. * Public Hearing
A small subdivision on Bemiss Road, and a big one on GA 122 west of Hahira, in these
LAKE videos of the 25 April 2016 Greater Lowndes Planning
Commission Regular Session, interspersed with
the agenda below, followed by a video playlist. The Lowndes
County Commission discussed both cases yesterday at
their Work Session, and will vote on them tonight.
In these LAKE videos you can see the Commissioners and staff didn’t mention the contractor for the emergency no-bid $67,822
to fix the
Carter Way Culverts
owns property on Carter Way.
They never said how much the no-bid
Old US 41N paving project would cost.
Citizen
Judy Havercamp thanked the Commission for the recent
animal ordinance.
She clapped, but did not get shouted down by the deputy;
I guess his instructions only apply to people not complimenting the Commission.
Citizen
John S. Quarterman, president of WWALS Watershed Coalition, Inc.,
asked for
wastewater spills to be posted on the county’s website and sent out by their alert system,
and with a written letter updated the Commission on many recent pipeline
developments and asked them to rescind their recent Sabal Trail easement
or to help in other ways to stop that boondoggle.

The
Old US 41N paving project is no-bid.
If they bid, they would actually know which was the most cost-effective….
In his Report, County Manager Joe Pritchard asked them to add to the agenda an item about fixing a private road off US 84, Carter Way. Most of the Commissioners previously seemed to be unfamiliar with this issue, although we had seen Chairman Bill Slaughter and Commissioner Joyce Evans listen to what seemed to be a request for this same road at the Lowndes County Democratic Party Meet the Candidates meeting the previous Monday.
