Last week while we were out of town, the Lowndes County Commission considered
two rezonings, one with
a Union Road, Hahira address,
by far the longest,
with Judge Arthur McLane speaking against,
the applicant Stacy Stubbs speaking for,
and quite a bit of discussion among Commissioners and staff,
after which they approved it 3:2 with the two conditions proposed by the Planning Commission.
The other rezoning has
a Valdosta address, which they approved unanimously;
for both see also
the preceding Planning Commission meeting.
Plus a third transportation item,
GDOT Option for Right of Way at Exit 11.
A bid, a bunch of contracts, and an alcohol license; pretty routine.
The previously-tabled and somewhat controversial
Additional Deputy Coroner Request Continue reading

Motel, Agricultural, Commercial @ GLPC 2018-05-29
A motel, somebody wanting to revert to agricultural, and a commercial rezoning halfway between exits 22 and 29. Pretty standard fare at the Planning Commission this evening.
Lowndes County Tax Assessors:
Parcel ID 0052 126, 6125 Union Road.
Here is the agenda.

3 Lowndes including wetlands, 2 Valdosta @ ZBOA 2016-09-13
Mostly setbacks, plus lot width, and one about wetlands at the decision-making Zoning Board of Appeals 2:30 PM today.
That wetlands one is about Union Springs Subdivision,
which came before ZBOA previously in June 2016 about wells, wastewater, and wetlands,
when ZBOA approved a variance 6:0.
Here’s the agenda for today. Continue reading
Hahira rezoning and annexation, W. Park St @ GLPC 2016-05-31
Update 2016-04-23: Fixed date of Hahira City Council Work Session to May 31st per comment from Barbara Stratton.
Josh Thomason wants to combine three parcels and annex one of them into Hahira.
Some people are rightly concerned about whether Hahira’s sewer system can handle it.
Apparently Hahira Mayor and Council have already discussed these three related cases,
and they come up for two Planning Commission meetings and a Hahira vote
in the next few weeks, plus the annexation goes past the Lowndes County Commission.
Oh, and Valdosta is indirectly involved.

Gretchen
thanked them for putting most of the response to her open records request
on CDs, shortly after they had said at their recent planning session that
they wanted to promote interaction with the community.
Still nothing from the county attorney about the Sabal Trail documents, and it’s been well over three days.
I
invited them on behalf of WWALS to a workshop and a movie;
there’s more below.
See also the contested rezoning
5.d. REZ-2016-05 Union Rd Subdivision, E-A to R-A, ~114 acres
for more water issues.
Three citizens spoke explicitly about the pipeline, Jim Parker, Michael Noll, and Dr. Mario Bartoletti, as also noted in Jason Stewart, VDT, 11 February 2016, Sabal protests continue. As I noted in another post,
I go to a lot of county commission meetings in Georgia and Florida. Nowhere but Lowndes County do I see Continue reading

They vote tonight at 5:30 PM.
At yesterday’s Work Session, there were two unscheduled reports.
Mark Stalvey of the county Housing Authority
said they’re working together with Habitat for Humanity
to form a nonprofit for collecting funds for rehabilitating
housing, and they’re asking for $5,000 each from Valdosta and Lowndes County
to get the nonprofit up and running, in return for which each would get
to appoint some board members; the rest would be elected by the nonprofit board.
Last, Tina Folsom with Lowndes Associated Ministries to People (LAMP) said their executive director left, so they don’t need their space in the Leila Ellis building. They’d like to be let out of their lease and have the funds applied to another county building they’re also renting space in.
See previous post for context and the agenda. Below are links to each LAKE video of the Work Session, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading

Not on
the agenda,
they started with
a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan.
Expecting from
the email announcement about the Comprehensive Plan
that this would be a typical SGRC tables-and-easels mill-about meeting,
I didn’t show up on the dot and was quite surprised to find
the Planning Commission and staff in their usual spots.
See separate post.
Here are the LAKE videos with some notes, followed by a video playlist. Continue reading
Rezonings, Alcohol, public defender, and paving Stafford Wright Road @ LCC 2016-02-08
Monday morning 8:30 AM, the Lowndes County Commission
will hear about
(they vote Tuesday evening)
four well and septic rezoning cases,
one of them
from R-10 to E-A,
and another
of 114 acres from E-A to R-A.
The usual wine, beer, and liquor licenses,
a
County Purchasing Card and Credit Card Ordinance,
a
2016 Public Defender Contract Renewal
and
Proposal from Lovell Engineering for Stafford Wright Road Paving Project.
I remember residents of that road asking years ago for it to be paved;
instead the county paved Quarterman Road.
Here’s
the agenda.

rezoning

and there are many other cases in between, plus
another cemetery case!
