The cemetery item got tabled and is
back on today’s agenda.

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.
Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals
2:30 PM today,
building location next to Southview Cemetery,
a
front yard setback (my that’s an impressive porch!),
and
maximum size of a flag.
Here’s
the agenda from the City of Valdosta’s website,
plus links into the
board packet on the LAKE website,

I bet the city could put the board packet on their website just as easily.

They meet again today 2:30 PM.
Last month,
ZBOA voted 5 to 1 to let
Moody Family Housing
have a reduction of 25% (half of the 50% they wanted)
so as to include a requirement of native trees.
Gretchen Quarterman made the motion, Paul Alvarado seconded, and Satrina Plyler (filling the unexpired term of Scott Orenstein) voted against.
See for more background.

2:30 PM today,
should developers not have to follow code and put back trees
on the unnecessary and environmentally hazardous Moody Family Housing
on Val-Del Road?
You wouldn’t know who this was by a pretty name like
Azalea Commons,
or an acronym like
ACC Group III Housing,
and only the
board packet
mentions Balfour Beatty,
but it’s the same
Moody Family Housing
in an
aquifer recharge zone
that
already had a sinkhole
as admitted by
a K Street lawyer to the
Lowndes County Commission
and told to them and to the Air Force by VSU professors
that the Air Force proceeded to ignore in its
environmental assessment
and the Lowndes County Commission rezoned anyway.
Staff recommend 20% “relief” from planting trees.
How about the county get some relief from unnecessary sprawl?
They did provide
a table of the trees they want to cut down.
Here’s the agenda, which is not on the City of Valdosta website,
