Still invisible: the change to Valdosta’s Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant. Documents related to all the other items are inked into the agenda in a previous post.
Moody AFB speaking about proposed Lowndes County MAZ ULDC text amendments
County Planner Jason Davenport sent email to the Planning Commission
yesterday noon before their evening meeting:
In light of the comments from the Chamber of Commerce from last week related to TXT-2015-01 I have prepared a document that helps show the amendments and various TRC and Chamber recommendations/comments side by side. The amendments are overall organized into two groups, those that are recommended for approval and have no objection and those that have opposition and/or other comments. I will plan to provide physical copies of the attached document at tonight’s meeting. Thank you.
Maybe this is a precedent for the county taking citizen comments more seriously; one hopes it doesn’t apply only to the Chamber.
Here’s the table (PDF on LAKE website), Continue reading
Within hours in response to an open records request she took over the telephone,
Valdosta City Clerk Teresa Bolden sent PDF of the packet materials for the
six Valdosta items for tonight’s GLPC meeting, at no charge,
including all the maps.
See below those six Valdosta items linked into a copy of
agenda:
a
funeral home,
a
radio station,
a
church accessory,
a
community commercial rezoning,
an
amendment to a Planned Development,
and
City of Valdosta sign regulations changes.
The change to the Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant remains invisible, because, since it’s in the Lowndes County part of the agenda, the City of Valdosta can’t divulge it. The materials for the county subdivision rezoning after the old US 41 N widening. and the Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments are also linked into the agenda below.

Two
ZBOA agenda items for tomorrow
are also on
the Planning Commission agenda for tonight:
the
Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant
and the
radio tower
Snake Nation Press
for
WSNK-LP, Valdosta Community Radio.
Apparently both of these applicants want a variance from ZBOA
in addition to a conditional use permit.
Verizon wants a variance in Hahira for a cell tower and the Lucas Brothers want a cemetery variance.

An invisible change to Valdosta’s
Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Already
a subdivision rezoning after the old US 41 N widening.
And still going in its third year, the
Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments,
with
updates last week,
including
the Chamber’s latest position,
all on top of
the previous updates.
Those are just the
Lowndes County cases on the
agenda tonight for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).
The six Valdosta cases include a funeral home, a radio station, a church accessory, a community commercial rezoning, an amendment to a Planned Development, and City of Valdosta sign regulations changes.
All that plus Continue reading
I’d guess the Lake Park case will breeze through tonight. The cases are more complicated, a couple with multiple parcels, and the Lowndes County cases are all big: 18-43 acres. Here’s the GLPC agenda that appeared on the county’s website Friday without anybody having to ask!

REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
AGENDA
Lowndes County South Health District Administrative Office
325 West Savannah Avenue
Monday, September 28, 2015 * 5:30 P.M. * Public Hearing
They vote this evening, about right now.
Here are videos of yesterday morning’s Work Session.
The
Forestry report referred to a report that the public can’t see.
What the forestry rep reported was mostly numbers of burn permits.
County Manager Joe Pritchard had to stop Chairman Bill Slaughter from adjourning so he could say: “Friday afternoon we received a request for electronic signalling at highway 41.” County Engineer Mike Fletcher elaborated that it was a railroad pre-empt that would not allow for left turns onto Tillman Crossing when there’s a train. Request came from Norfolk Southern. Chairman agreed to add it to the agenda, then they adjourned.
The annual continued funding for the Little River USGS stream gage at GA 122 costs $400 more this year. Commissioner Marshall wanted to know what happened with the automated gage reporting system he thought they voted for previously, that would send reports when the gage was high. County Manager Joe Pritchard said that was actually the SCADA system for the county’s wells and sewage lift stations. Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker wanted to know how this gage operates. Box on bridge, tube down into river, monitors height and flow, reported through a cell phone, real time data on the web. It’s been there long enough to establish flood stages and advanced warning levels so people can protect their property.
The Abandonment of a portion of Spain Ferry Road and Kinderlou Clyattville Road turns out to be from Continue reading
They meet again today.
Here are videos of when they voted last, after apparently already deciding
before the meeting how they would vote, plus
one citizen spoke for several
in the audience who want their road paved (Black Road near Naylor), even though the Chairman said
“we kind of minimize that dialog”.
County Manager Joe Pritchard again
reminded of the
Annual 9/11 Memorial Service to be held 10AM Friday at Historic Courthouse,
Indeed they did not vote on the Roundabout Support. There was a bit of discussion on the water main to Lowndes Middle School to fend off suspected Valdosta annexation. Everything else they breezed through as fast as they could move, second, and unanimously vote, including the church rezoning and the two lift station pumps, on Bevel Creek and Coleman Road.

They vote tonight 5:30 PM, after this morning’s 8:30 AM Work Session.
LAKE did what the county staff didn’t:
turned a mound of paper into electronic format and
posted it.
The added material is for the
Shiloh Road Roundabout (county has to maintain lighting and landscaping)
and
the bids for the
Bevel Creek
and
Coleman Road lift stations.
Except there’s no bid from Xylem for replacing the Coleman Road pump.
Did they not bid, or did the Clerk’s office not supply that bid?
See previous post for the agenda and other notes.
Also today: Development Authority 10AM, Chamber members to be Heard 3:30 PM, and Board of Elections 4:30PM, and the County Commission votes 5:30 PM.

Vice-Chair Jody Hall presided,
sounding like he’d been practicing and it paid off at the 31 August 2015 Planning Commission meeting.
Nobody spoke for or against the agricultural rezoning in Lowndes County and the Planning Commission recommended it, but it may be more controversial than it looks now that the Lowndes County Commission agenda item and packet for Tuesday indicates it’s apparently related to that $16,915 the county agreed to pay to upgrade a water line near the Lake Alapaha subdivision.
The owner spoke for the automobile repair shop in Dasher with nobody against, and it was unanimously recommended.
Nobody spoke against the office rezoning in Valdosta. There was some Commissioner discussion of nearby neighborhoods. It was recommended 6-2 for R-15.
Here’s GLPC agenda, with links the the LAKE videos below, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
