Valdosta – Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals

ZBOA did not meet in July or August due to lack of business.
An agenda for today’s cancelled meeting is still posted on Valdosta’s website,

The T-SPLOST motion passed, but as a very unusual split vote, two weeks ago in the Lowndes County Commission Regular Session, 9 May 2017.
4. Peace Officers Memorial Week Proclamation Presentation,
Vice-Chair Joyce Evans presiding, they spent about five minutes on this item,
including
a speech by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, in which he said his department

Videos: Public Works GA-EPD request, Regional T-SPLOST, 2 ZBOA appointments, 2 rezonings, surplus, quit claim, lift station pump, and Naylor Community Center bids @ LCC 2017-05-08
Not on the agenda this morning:
Public Works is applying to GA-EPD for a grant for
tire disposal amnesty.
11 of 18 counties have voted to hold a
Regional T-SPLOST referendum,
and Lowndes County now needs to decide whether to support or oppose that: they vote Tuesday at 5:30 PM.
County Manager Joe Pritchard asked why all the lift station pump repairs.
Utilities Director Steve Stalvey said the county has 114 lift station pumps,
all either duplex or triplex, with the duplication very important to maintain
service.
They typically last about 15-20 years,

Regional T-SPLOST, 2 ZBOA appointments, 2 rezonings, surplus, quit claim, and lift station pump, and Naylor Community Center bids @ LCC 2017-05-08 @ LCC 2017-05-08
They
list the three applicants for
ZBOA, Victoria Copeland, Michael Cooper, Mike Elkins, but they do not supply the actual applications.
These are for two slots, currently held by Dr. Willie Houseal,
who does not wish to be reappointed, and ZBOA Vice Chairman Gretchen Quarterman, who does.
Both the
rezoning cases
have different applicant names than
the Planning Commission listed two weeks ago,
this time as
REZ-2017-05 Jay Carter rezoning from R-A to R-1 for subdividing for independent sale and
REZ-2017-04 Rieffel rezoning to CON and E-A for animals.
REZ-2017-04 is located at 3621 SE Johnson Road,
which is just north of Mud Swamp Creek, which downstream joins with
Grand Bay Creek to form the Alapahoochee River, which flows into the Alapaha,
into the Suwannee, into the Gulf.

Don Brotherton’s road access variance
