Baseball and water; electric sign withdrawn @ ZBOA 2015-04-07



Today at 2:30 PM, the owner of the

baseball diamond west of Hahira
is not expected to appear, because he’s working.
If you want to see him, try

Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, tomorrow evening
.
There’s a water connection variance on

Jumping Gully Road
,
and the electric company parking variance on

Norman Drive
in Valdosta tabled
last month
has been withdrawn.

Here’s the agenda, which oddly is not yet on the
City of Valdosta

website

Videos: Denied Lake Alapaha variance @ ZBOA 2015-02-03



The variance about not connecting to county water
at Lake Alapaha Blvd. seemed to actually involve adjoining property,
as several Commissioners pointed out,
and ZBOA denied it, 4 to 3.
Zoning Director Carmella Braswell represented the county as usual.

Here’s

the agenda
, which now is on the
City of Valdosta

website

as

after Board member Gretchen Quarterman asked for agendas to be posted up to date.

One variance at Lake Alapaha @ ZBOA 2015-02-03



One variance at Lake Alapaha, about not connecting to county water.
Since the county has had to

spend a lot of money recently on
upgrading the Lake Alapaha water treatment plant
, digging individual
wells down into groundwater containing Alapaha River water seems dubious
to me.
With no County Director of Utilities since Mike Allen moved on,
I wonder who will represent the county?

Here’s the agenda, which oddly is not yet on the
City of Valdosta

website
.
