Frontage, trees, daycare, and Wal-Mart @ ZBOA 2014-06-03
Two
Lowndes County
cases (
road frontage and
tree protection),
and two
Valdosta
Valdosta cases
(daycares on busy streets
and
Wal-Mart parking).
The county cases are both variances from the
Unified Land Development Code (ULDC)
and the city cases are both variances from Valdosta’s
Land Development Regulations (LDR),
and both the ULDC and LDR are supposed to be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan.
Here’s the agenda. The City of Valdosta puts ZBOA agendas and minutes online in real PDFs.

One ULDC variance @ ZBOA 2014-05-06 @ ZBOA 2014-05-06
You can see in this video that ZBOA granted the one
Lowndes County
ULDC variance, for
lot access and road frontage.
Even though according to the
Lowndes County Tax Assessors’ maps,
3041 Touchton Road doesn’t actually touch Touchton Road,
or any other road, it does have a 25 foot easement
through adjoining property.
The owner wants to record a survey for the property,
and perhaps to sell it.
The question was whether that existing easement could be used
instead of the usual 60 foot easement.
This was one of the briefest ZBOA meetings (14 minutes, of which two and a half were introductory material, since there was only one case, and it was quick to decide. And ZBOA does actually decide, unlike the Planning Commission, which only recommends.
Here’s the agenda. The City of Valdosta puts ZBOA agendas and minutes online in real PDFs. Continue reading

Gretchen Quarterman on Chris Beckham radio show 2014-04-29
“People would have a lot more confidence in the government
if they understood it and they could see it happen,”
said Gretchen Quarterman this morning on drive-time radio.
She used last night’s
Brookhaven apartment building rezoning public hearing in
Lake Park to illustrate: local landowners have property rights and
there was a lack of communication between the developers
of a proposed apartment building, the Lake Park city government,
and the neighbors.
She also talked about jobs, including in local agriculture.
For example, she ran the
2014 South Georgia Growing Local Conference.
Money spent on local agriculture supports the local economy,
not companies far away.
She talked about stewardship of resources,
including preserving local property and environment from
the Sabal Trail natural gas pipeline.
She advocated Continue reading
Board appointments by Lowndes County
Here’s Lowndes County’s
list of Boards, Agencies & Commissions.
Unfortunately,
unlike
Valdosta’s list,
most of the names in the county’s list have no links to further information,
and there’s no indication of which positions might be open
or how to apply for them.
Update: 4:30 PM 24 April 2014: And there’s the Board of Elections which is decided by a completely different process with a quicker deadline of 28 April 2014.
We do know there’s a vacancy on the Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA), which presumably will be filled after the upcoming Special Election May 20th, but the county has given no indication of when. The only way the county usually announces open positions is when they appear on the County Commission’s agenda, which usually shows up online Friday for voting on Tuesday. For example, the county has appointed: Continue reading
