Packet: 4 Dasher, 2 Lowndes County inc. Verizon tower in Langdale Park, 2 Valdosta, 1 Hahira @ GLPC 2026-06-29

Verizon Wireless wants to put a communications tower in Langdale Park, a stone’s throw from the main kiosk, at 30.885908, -83.320453.

The rezoning sign is not in Langdale Park: it’s on the private property on Hyta Mederer Road, at 30.8870644, -83.3173206.

The FAA NOTICE CRITERA say it’s in Remerton.

The packet materials for TWR-2026-02 Bermuda Run say its address is 3781 North Valdosta Road, which is misleading at best.

Also:

The decision to be made by the Board of Commissioners is not a zoning decision. It is a quasi-judicial decision whether the standards for a telecommunications tower in Section 5.05.05 of the ULDC are met.

The TRC analyzed the request, the standards set forth in Section 5.05.00 (attached), and Section 10.02.00 of the ULDC, and noted that the proposed location satisfies the Standards for New Tower Development in 5.05.05, and therefore recommends Approval of the request.

Well, the application is misleading if not incorrect in at least three ways:

the notice sign is not even on the property of the intended location,
the address is on the wrong road,
and the location is not in Remerton.

More importantly, Langdale Park is a park, not an industrial location.

Here is the agenda.

The pieces of the board packet LAKE has received so far (the agenda and the Lowndes County cases) are on the LAKE website. Images of each page are below.
