Today at 2:30 PM, the owner of the
baseball diamond west of Hahira is not expected to appear, because he’s working.
If you want to see him, try
Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, tomorrow evening.
There’s a water connection variance on
Jumping Gully Road,
and the electric company parking variance on
Norman Drive in Valdosta tabled
last month
has been withdrawn.
Here’s the agenda, which oddly is not yet on the City of Valdosta website. Continue reading
Videos of ZBOA decisions on
one
single-family residence and a
car dealership sign in the county,

They meet again this afternoon.
Here’s the agenda, with decisions, followed by the videos. Continue reading
While
Vallotton Farms wants to revert to Estate Agricultural,
Vickers
and
Edward Jennings LLC want denser zoning.
It’s not clear what the
Valdosta historic preservation case
or the
Lake Park personal services case
are about, since the county still doesn’t publish board packets.
Note that Vallotton Farms (both the part outlined in red
that appears to be the subject of the rezoning and the bigger part west of Bemiss Road) is on Cherry Creek, upstream from the dam,
and upstream from Cherry Creek Sink on the
Withlacoochee River, which leaks into our drinking water in the Floridan Aquifer.
Better agriculture upstream from that than other possibilities.
Here’s the agenda. Continue reading
The VDT has some information apparently from the agenda packet the city didn’t publish with its agenda for Thursday. Joe Adgie, VDT, 17 March 2015, City Council to consider revisions to radar ordinance,
Bids will be considered for the sewer main at Sugar Creek near Gornto Road and near the Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.
The sewer main has become exposed due to ongoing steam bank erosion, and the sewer main has started to sag. The city said this exposure needs to be repaired sooner rather than later, as the exposure could lead to a failure, and could allow raw sewage to directly leak into Sugar Creek.
This would be a violation of the city’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit with the state.
The recommended bid comes from Garney Companies, Inc., for $286,000.
Other bids come from Continue reading
Fixing wastewater problems requires bids and contracts,
some of which are on the Valdosta City Council

REGULAR MEETING OF THE VALDOSTA CITY COUNCIL
5:30 PM Thursday, March 19, 2015
COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL
Leadership Lowndes Class of 2015 was there,
and Gretchen Quarterman spoke about
the WWALS Alapaha River Water Trail Conference.
Everything else went as predicted
with the rezonings and pretty much everything else unanimously approved,
at the Tuesday 10 October 2015 Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission.
In the briefest Planning Commission meeting I can recall,
Stovall got her
rezoning of 5.84 acres to General Commercial on Oak Street Extension
recommended unanimously Monday 23 February 2015.
Ivy Gate subdivision’s second phase
to rezone 10.33 acres to R-10 on Cat Creek Road
at
4088 Cat Creek Road
was also recommended unanimously.
Nobody spoke for or against either rezoning,
and there was no discussion from Commissioners,
other than a recommendation by Commissioner Wildes that all lots
face interior roads for Ivy Gate.
After the rezonings, Commissioners joked that with a meeting so brief they might catch up with the County Commission. County Chairman Bill Slaughter responded, “Actually, we just showed up to show you how to run a quick meeting.” The difference is GLPC actually does discuss when there’s something to discuss. These cases will show up on the County Commission agenda for March 10th, so we’ll see who takes longer on them then.
Here’s the agenda, and below are links to the videos, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
Stovall wants

Thanks to Lowndes County for starting to post Planning Commission agendas including this one.

Here’s the agenda, which now is on the City of Valdosta website as http://www.valdostacity.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=7948, after Board member Gretchen Quarterman asked for agendas to be posted up to date.
