Chair Vicki Rountree
welcomed new member Debbie Sauls from Lake Park,
with no explanation, and the county and Valdosta’s web pages still don’t list her
(they don’t have the Chair correct, either),
but we found out what happened.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,
with a very few notes,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.

the agenda.
Mayor Sandlin stated that Council still needed to appoint a
replacement to the Lowndes County Planning Commission and the MPO
Representative to fill his seat. Member Taylor made a motion to add
the Lowndes County Planning Commission appointment to the agenda,
Member Barr second, all in favor motion passed. Mayor stated he had
recently spoken to Debbie Sauls and she agreed to serve on the
committee. Member Taylor made a motion to appoint Debbie Sauls to be
the City of Lake Park xepresentative to the Lowndes County Planning
Commission, Member Carter second, all in favor, motion passed.
The TRC considered this request. Zoning found this request
inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan. There were no other
objectionable comments.
Staff found the request overall consistent with the Goals and
Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, however, inconsistent with the
Character Area Map and offers the following condition: The use of
the property shall be limited to the principal use of a terminal for
freight by truck and accessory uses incidental and subordinate to
such a facility.
The GLPC heard this request at their February regular meeting and
recommended for its approval with the condition offered by Staff by
a 7-0 vote. For reference, the applicant’s agent was present to
answer any questions and no one spoke against the request at the
public hearing.

After Gretchen called Lowndes County yesterday,
last month’s GLPC agenda
magically appeared on the county website, along with a
2019 tab for it to appear in.
In her first meeting as Chair, Vicki Rountree moved right along,
even getting the opening reading of the set script down to barely four minutes,
even including invocation and pledge.
All the rezonings considered that Monday by the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) are in Lowndes County, not in any of its incorporated cities.
The two on Madison Highway appear to be coincidence.
REZ-2019-01 Jerry Stoker is apparently for one or both of the
two Stoker Development LLC parcels on Old Pine Road.
This is part of the general development of what Lowndes County staff
refer to as “Central Lowndes County”, as in their preferred development area.
All the rezonings on the GLPC agenda for tonight are in Lowndes County.

The six Joe Nijem
Remerton cases are merely for public input.
Wait, isn’t everything before the GLPC merely advisory?
So how are these items different?
Two of the five
Valdosta cases are for Michael Howell on West Gordon Street.

Here is more info on this project which I am proud to bring to the community and which I believe will be a wonderful addition to it that all will feel proud to have. It ties into the community roots, it honors those that came before, and it meets a need today in north Lowndes County and does so in a wall all can feel proud of. I am a concerned citizen like anyone else and that is a big part of why I have gone out of my way with my engineer and planners to create something not only compliant, but that goes well above the line to bring something truly beautiful, that reflects both my family and my community in a way I can hold my up about when I walk around the community. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Chris Connell http://www.mcnealestates.com
