County Manager Joe Pritchard asked the Lowndes County Commission

to spend the funds
the citizens of Lowndes County approved on the SPLOST VII referendum for the Naylor Boat Ramp:


Motion by Commissioner Demarcus Marshall

We are proposing for the purchase of
4.35 acres of property on the Alapaha River designated for the purpose of a boat ramp.
You have the documentation there before you, the warranty deed.
And as you are aware, this also reserves for an easement by the current owner,
a proposed easement, and the appraisal is for
$24,000, as is the purchase price,
and that is the consideration for the proposed easement.

Commissioner Scottie Orenstein asked: Continue reading

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant packet materials @ GLPC 2015-11-30

The mysterious missing materials from Monday’s Planning Commission meeting
are
on the LAKE website now
,
thanks to Lowndes County Planner Jason Davenport, by electronic mail today, 3 December 2015.


He explained that this requested zoning, REZ-2015-20, was a followon to
rezoning
REZ-2010-15
from 2010 for the new Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant, plus since then Valdosta had bought another adjoining parcel.
The materials explain the current concerns about buffers, setbacks, roads, other uses, noise, lights, etc.; see
the text pages.
The County Planner said the packet for next week’s County Commission meetings
will also include an agenda item cover sheet.

For all the other packet items from Monday’s GLPC meeting, see
the previous post.
See also

the related variance VAR-2015-16

that was before the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA) Tuesday.

Here’s the beginning of the overview from the GLPC materials:

The main reason for this request is the current conditional
requirement of a bermed buffer along the norther boundary of the
subject property. Right now if the previously approved conditions
(Attached toward the end of the packet), approved site plan
(Attached . . ,), and ULDC are combined it looks like what is
currently required to be constructed is Continue reading

Valdosta packet items @ GLPC 2015-11-30

Within hours in response to an open records request she took over the telephone,

Zoning Location Map

Valdosta City Clerk Teresa Bolden sent PDF of the packet materials for the
six Valdosta items for tonight’s GLPC meeting, at no charge,
including all the maps.
See below those six Valdosta items linked into a copy of

agenda
:

a

funeral home
,
a

radio station
,
a

church accessory
,
a

community commercial rezoning
,
an

amendment to a Planned Development
,
and

City of Valdosta sign regulations changes
.

The change to the

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant

remains invisible, because, since it’s in the

Lowndes County
part of the agenda,
the City of Valdosta can’t divulge it.
The materials for the county

subdivision rezoning
after the old US 41 N widening.
and the

Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments

are also linked into the agenda below.

Cell tower, cemetery, sewer, and radio tower @ ZBOA 2015-12-01

Two

ZBOA agenda
items for tomorrow
are also on
the Planning Commission agenda for tonight:


the

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant

and the

radio tower
Snake Nation Press

for

WSNK-LP, Valdosta Community Radio
.
Apparently both of these applicants want a variance from ZBOA
in addition to a conditional use permit.

Verizon wants

a variance in Hahira for a cell tower

and the Lucas Brothers want

a cemetery variance

An invisible change to Valdosta’s

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant

Already

a subdivision rezoning
after the old US 41 N widening.
And still going in its third year, the

Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments
,


with

updates last week
,
including
the Chamber’s latest position,
all on top of
the previous updates.
Those are just the

Lowndes County
cases on the

agenda
tonight for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).

The six
Valdosta cases
include
a

funeral home
,
a

radio station
,
a

a

community commercial rezoning

an

amendment to a Planned Development

MAZ and Tillman Crossing Packet Updates @ GLPC Work 2015-11-23

Updates about Moody, Tillman Crossing, and the Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant,

Non-Conforming Lots, MAZ Map, 2015-11-03 (1 of 2: New Bethel Road)

for tonight’s Planning Commission meeting, received after last week’s GLPC Work Session.
I would post tonight’s GLPC agenda, but it’s not on the county’s website.

See the surprise addition in this update of


REZ-2015-20 City of Valdosta WWTP
, about which details were not included: “The proposed site plan
is the same one that was presented to you with your paperwork last
night.”
So if you’re not a Planning Commissioner, you don’t get to see what the City of Valdosta is proposing for its new Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Another item is apparently known by several names: Continue reading
