Rocky Ford Road again @ GLPC 2018-03-26

This

CR Ventures rezoning on
the agenda for tonight
is two doors down on Rocky Ford Road from
the recent

Camp Rock rezoning, again for a Watkins,
and again represented by Jack Langdale.
Coincidence, or related?

Videos: Branham subdivision, Bemiss Knights Academy, Lake Park @ GLPC 2015-09-28



Almost half an hour on the
Bill Branham subdivision on Copeland Road
resulted in a split denial: the only denial in this Planning Commission Regular Session.

Slightly less time on

the Charles Bennett accessory dwelling unit on Green Meadown Drive
got unanimous approval with staff conditions.

Ten minutes on the

Clint Joyner’s request for Knight’s Development’s
30-acre subdivision rezoning on Bemiss Knights Academy Road
got unanimous approval.
About the same on

Tim Blanton’s rezoning of 45+ acres to residential agriculture
passed unanimously.
Ditto

rezoning for Richard Bonner’s rezoning for
a fast-growth corridor between Highway 84 and Interstate 75.
Less time for

Jon Nijem’s expanded parking on Baytree Road
to pass unanimously.

Keith Sandlin’s

Lake Park case did sail through,
as did

John Thomas’ rezoning for a showroom for his show car business.

Commissioner Willis’ term was

coming up for reappointment.

The Planning Commission last month

welcomed Ed Hightower,
appointed earlier that same month

by the Lowndes County Commission.
They heard one case each from the seldom seen Cities of

Dasher,
and

Remerton (longest at almost 38 minutes on apartments at the old mill site).
plus
and three from
Lowndes County including

REZ-2018-02 CR Ventures – Rocky Ford Rd – 71 acres (third longest at 23 minutes),
and
five from Valdosta
including

Deep South Sanitation (second longest at more than 37 minutes),
which was also separately heard on a related matter by

ZBOA a week later.

Below are links to each LAKE video of each item,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.
See also
the agenda,
and

the three Lowndes County cases will be voted on by the county Tuesday evening. Continue reading →

Videos: Public Works, Development, Planning, Health Board Appointments, budget, qualifying @ LCC 2018-01-09



For two out of three boards, they came up with one name between
Monday morning and Tuesday evening.
No one applied for the

Lowndes County Development Authority;
instead they appointed Gary Moser who applied to be on Planning Commission.
They reappointed
Franklin Bailey, head of homebuilders association, to the

Planning Commission, plus
they appointed Ed Hightower to finish the unexpired term of Brad Folsom.
They appointed Dr. Frances Brown to the

Lowndes County Board of Health.
And the County Manager

recognized Public Works
for their good work during the recent storms.

with a few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist.

County Manager Joe Pritchard

thanked county staff for their performance during the recent storms
and the public for mostly staying off the roads.
It will cost

$450 to qualify to run for County Commissioner.

No, we don’t know what was wrong with the sound.
We will try to get it better tomorrow evening.

No applicants for the

Lowndes County Development Authority

Board of Health,
and many for the

Planning Commission.

Development, Planning, Health Board Appointments, budget, qualifying @ LCC 2018-01-08

Where did they advertise for applications for the three
boards on the agenda for tomorrow morning, voting Tuesday evening?
Who was the mysterious term expiration on the
Development Authority of Lowndes County (not the same as the Valdosta-Lowndes County Development Authority, VLCIA)?
If we assume the county’s web page for the Lowndes County Development Authority
is the relevant one, it doesn’t say what term expired nor who was in that slot,
it just says “Vacant”.
However, we can deduce that the missing board member is Jeff Reames,
whose seat expired June 8, 2017. When they appointed six members
to that board the next month, they did not appoint anyone to that slot,
even though Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker asked about that at the time.

Brad Folsom quit the
Greater Lowndes Planning Commission
to join VLCIA.



Five people want to be appointed:
Keven Bussey, Gary Moser, Ed Hightower, and Bart Davis.
Also, Franklin Bailey wants to be reappointed.

“Mr.” Myron Faircloth (I thought he was a doctor)
resigned from the Board of Health, and

nobody is mentioned as wanting to be appointed.

Videos: Cothron on Tucker Road and second West Ridge Business Park rezoning @ GLPC 2017-11-27



Twenty five minutes on

7. REZ-2017-14 Cothron 5310 Tucker Road 5 acres from E-A to R-A
to split out two 2.5 acre house lots and a home business office
(is there a deed restriction?),
fourteen minutes on a storage building in

3. VA-2017-16 220-224 Myddleton Road 0.58 acres from R-6 to M-2
(probably will be at ZBOA for a variance later),
and six minutes each on

5. REZ-2017-12 West Ridge Business Park 1.2 acres from C-G to C-H
and

4. VA-2017-17 City of Valdosta LDR text amendments.
Everything else sailed through.

They

nominated
the same Chair and Vice-Chair as currently:
Franklin Bailey and Jody Hall.
County Planner Jason Davenport pointed out traditionally they
rotate every two years, but the Commission could decide to keep the same
officers, and they did.
