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

Update 2026-06-28:
Packet: 2 Valdosta, 1 Hahira @ GLPC 2026-06-29.

Update 2026-06-27: WWALS blog post Verizon tower in Langdale Park? @ 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
