Nelson Hill and new county appointee + 2 Valdosta @ GLPC 2014-07-28



Tonight at 6PM, neverending

Nelson Hill is back after

GLPC tabled it last month
and half of it was
withdrawn at the County Commission and the other half tabled.
Is that other half related to

the staff variances of 2009 and 2011
without any public hearings?

Roger Budd Jr wants to rezone 4.28 acres.
Plus recommendations for a county appointee to GLPC.
In Valdosta, requests to

rezone 3.59 acres to Community Commercial
and to

rezone 7 parcels of 3.14 acres total to Multi-Family Residential.

Here’s

PDF of the agenda (no, not from Lowndes County),
and it’s below in HTML.

Videos: Half Nelson Hill and rezoning to Agricultural @ GLPC 2014-06-30



Only two cases, both Lowndes County.
Johnny White withdrew

his request to rezone to agricultural.
GLPC tabled

REZ-2014-13 Nelson Hill.
And

Vice Chair Diondra Nichols is moving to Las Vegas.
She’s

a county appointee, so expect to see an appointment
on an upcoming Lowndes County Commission agenda.

Here’s
the agenda.
The date on the GLPC agenda
for the following Lowndes County Commission Regular Session
was wrong; should be 8 July 2014 (see
the videos of that LCC meeting).
That incorrect date

confused GLPC Chair Johnny Ball, as well.

Here are links to the videos of the 30 June 2013 meeting of the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC),
followed by a playlist. Continue reading →

Videos: Hahira rezoning and annexation, two Valdosta CUP @ GLPC 2014-04-28



Tabled at applicant’s request:
the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation;
see also the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014.
The proponents
to establish a recycling center
didn’t show up to answer questions, and due to lack of information
(noise, hours, odors, vermin, expansion, etc.), GLPC unanimously voted to recommend tabling.
GLPC voted to recommend approval with selected conditions for
Langdale Ford’s
minor automotive repair facility.

Remember, Lowndes County answered an open records request for the agenda

47 hours after this Planning Commission meeting started.
Here’s

the actual agenda by other means.

Agriculture, Tower, and Nelson Hills @ GLPC 2014-06-30



Twelve acres requested to rezone

to agricultural
and

“an amendment to the zoning conditions”
for the
Nelson Hills Subdivision; the same one that previously

got waivers from county staff with no public hearing.
People might think that’s why the county didn’t want anybody to see this agenda.

After

no electronic copy was available,
Gretchen photographed a paper copy of the agenda,
which I’ve OCRed.
She heard that one item was withdrawn and another was requested
to be tabled for 30 days. We’ll see.
