Naylor Community Town Hall Meeting
Fixing private road Carter Way next to proposed Sabal Trail fracked methane path @ LCC 2016-04-12
If heavy rains washed out culverts on Carter Way, why would we not expect them to
wash up
the proposed Sabal Trail pipeline, aimed barely 500 feet to the west, downstream on Tiger Creek?
And why didn’t the county mention that the company to which they just awarded
an emergency no-bid contract to fix a private road owns extensive properties on that same private road?
Actually, no: see correction.
The Lowndes County Tax Assessors online database shows Cowart & Son own Parcel 0017 024 of 13.09 acres on Carter Way. Yet the item 7.h. Carter Way agenda sheet for yesterday’s 12 April 2016 Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission. mentions “Over 10 residences and a telecommunications tower” on Carter Way, but never mentions that the contractor, Cowart & Sons, just awarded that emergency no-bid contract for $67,822 to fix culverts on Carter Way, is also located on Carter Way. Actually, Rountree Construction got the contract; see correction. It’s still an emergency no-bid contract for a private road.

In these LAKE videos you can see the Commissioners and staff didn’t mention the contractor for the emergency no-bid $67,822
to fix the
Carter Way Culverts
owns property on Carter Way.
They never said how much the no-bid
Old US 41N paving project would cost.
Citizen
Judy Havercamp thanked the Commission for the recent
animal ordinance.
She clapped, but did not get shouted down by the deputy;
I guess his instructions only apply to people not complimenting the Commission.
Citizen
John S. Quarterman, president of WWALS Watershed Coalition, Inc.,
asked for
wastewater spills to be posted on the county’s website and sent out by their alert system,
and with a written letter updated the Commission on many recent pipeline
developments and asked them to rescind their recent Sabal Trail easement
or to help in other ways to stop that boondoggle.

The
Old US 41N paving project is no-bid.
If they bid, they would actually know which was the most cost-effective….
In his Report, County Manager Joe Pritchard asked them to add to the agenda an item about fixing a private road off US 84, Carter Way. Most of the Commissioners previously seemed to be unfamiliar with this issue, although we had seen Chairman Bill Slaughter and Commissioner Joyce Evans listen to what seemed to be a request for this same road at the Lowndes County Democratic Party Meet the Candidates meeting the previous Monday.

Videos: PUD setback, road access, and building variances @ ZBOA 2016-04-05
LAKE videos of the four Lowndes County cases before ZBOA.
There was some discussion about
VAR-2016-04 Joshua Restoration Ranch (5808 McDonald Road),
which is about road access for a group/family personal care home.
One was already withdrawn by the applicant:
VAR-2016-03 Southers (1290 Southers Lane).
The other two are about
minimum building setbacks and
road access.
Thanks to ZBOA member Gretchen Quarterman, the entire board packet is
on the LAKE website,
and here’s
the agenda.
ZBOA makes actual decisions, unlike the Planning Commission, which only recommends. Here’s a video playlist:
