Tower, Water, Sewer, Personal Care Home, Hahira Gateway Corridor Overlay District @ GLPC 2019-05-28

The

tabled tower on US 84E is back.
The

Lowndes County Commission meets at the same time.
Since the Planning Commission usually spends more than five minutes
on

Call to Order, Pledge, and reading the boilerplate about
what GLPC does,
and the County Commission brags about having 5 minute meetings,
the County Commission could make a decision before the Planning Commission
even gets that far in its agenda.

There’s also a
Lowndes County
request for water and sewer on
Bemiss Knights Academy Road.

Valdosta has a
request for conditional use for a
Personal Care Home.

And two requests for Variances from the
Hahira Gateway Corridor Overlay District, which is presumably the coral-colored area around W. Main St. on both sides of I-75.

A farm to subdivision, 2 Howell +3 Valdosta, 6 Nijem Remerton @ GLPC 2018-10-29

The six Joe Nijem
Remerton cases are merely for public input.
Wait, isn’t everything before the GLPC merely advisory?
So how are these items different?

Two of the five
Valdosta cases are for Michael Howell on West Gordon Street.

And then there’s

Knights Landing Development, LLC,
for which

the Tax Assessors’ acreages don’t add up to the stated 42 acres,
for the sketched out medieval street names on Hoyle Lane and the nearby property on Bemiss Knights Academy Road, off Bemiss Road.


Knights Development LLC, parcel 01458 357, REZ-2018-18

Videos: Branham subdivision, Bemiss Knights Academy, Lake Park @ GLPC 2015-09-28



Almost half an hour on the
Bill Branham subdivision on Copeland Road
resulted in a split denial: the only denial in this Planning Commission Regular Session.

Slightly less time on

the Charles Bennett accessory dwelling unit on Green Meadown Drive
got unanimous approval with staff conditions.

Ten minutes on the

Clint Joyner’s request for Knight’s Development’s
30-acre subdivision rezoning on Bemiss Knights Academy Road
got unanimous approval.
About the same on

Tim Blanton’s rezoning of 45+ acres to residential agriculture
passed unanimously.
Ditto

rezoning for Richard Bonner’s rezoning for
a fast-growth corridor between Highway 84 and Interstate 75.
Less time for

Jon Nijem’s expanded parking on Baytree Road
to pass unanimously.

Keith Sandlin’s

Lake Park case did sail through,
as did

John Thomas’ rezoning for a showroom for his show car business.

Commissioner Willis’ term was

coming up for reappointment.

Videos: West Mims Fire, Water Trails, Transportation, Construction Board, 3 tax lighting districts, mosquitoes, no-bid contract @ LCC 2017-08-08



“There’s nobody that can tackle something like that alone,”
said Emergency Management Director Ashley Tye in a

West Mims Fire Special Presentation
with firefighters from all over Lowndes County and its cities,
including a resolution from the Charlton County Commission.

Citizen

Gretchen Quarterman spoke about WWALS and trash and cameras at the
Naylor Boat Ramp site, and about Boy Scouts at the GA 133 Boat Ramp.
Citizen Jim Parker

poked them about public transportation and renewable energy.

They’re settling on
“Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Road to Success”,
but when did Commissioners decide on that between the previous morning’s
open meeting and this one?
But wait: Continue reading →

Videos: Construction Board, 3 tax lighting districtcs, mosquitoes, radios, roads, and truck @ LCC 2017-08-07



Emergency Management Director Ashley Tye gave

a preview of the
West Mims Fire Special Presentation
that will be tonight at 5:30 PM by someone from the Charlton County Commission.

Looks like another

no-bid special contract award,
this time to Lovell Engineering,
without even the excuse of an emergency.

They have signs made for

Wiregrass Technical College Highway.
Two out of three (not Creekside)

Special Tax Lighting Districts
may be ready to vote on tonight.

If you have any other plumber to propose for the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Construction Board of Adjustments and Appeals,
get that name to them before tonight; they’ve already got one name.

A month ago there was Continue reading →

Videos: 3 no-bid lift station pumps, BHDD Appointment, USGS GA 122 Little River gage @ LCC 2016-09-27




Citizen Delores Matchett wanted to know why Howell Lane isn’t paved when all the streets around it are; she mentioned several new subdivisions.
She said Commissioners had no idea how fast people drive on that dirt road.

Commissioner Demarcus Marshall noted (as a different Commissioner did
Monday morning) that

the three lift station pumps are no-bid.
The agenda sheets for them said because of some unexplained county policy.

Below are links to each LAKE video, followed by a video playlist.

Videos: 8.5 minutes, Appointment to BHDD, USGS GA 122 Little River gage, 3 lift station pumps @ LCC 2016-09-26

Update 2016-09-29:

Videos: 3 no-bid lift station pumps, BHDD Appointment, USGS GA 122 Little River gage @ LCC 2016-09-27.

They vote Tuesday night at 5:30 PM. In these LAKE videos of Monday morning’s
8.5 minute Work Session, you can see they are buying



three new lift station pumps, and for each:
“This pump has not been bid due to it being a sole source item in accordance
with the County’s standards and specifications.”
One commissioner did ask about that.
Where can we see these no-bid standards and specifications?
In other water news, they are likely to approve the annual renewal of the

USGS Little River GA 122 stream gauge, which they started paying for after the 2009 floods.

In transportation, Continue reading →

Videos: More northern subdivision rezonings + 6 Valdosta @ GLPC 2016-08-29

A third Lowndes County Case in west Valdosta near James Road,


REZ-2016-15, was pulled from the agenda until next month
to be sure it will be ready for review (but not withdrawn).
One Valdosta case,
CU-2016-02, was announced as withdrawn
at the beginning of the meeting.
The

stormwater LDR changes apparently were mostly to
remove description of very old previous material and various housekeeping
including reflecting a rate increase the Valdosta City Council already approved
back in June after a series of public hearings.
Expect the Comprehensive Plan back next month: they didn’t examine it this time because
the agenda was already very long. Continue reading →

More northern subdivision rezonings + 6 Valdosta @ GLPC 2016-08-29

Still more subdivisions planned in what the county calls


Central Lowndes County
and near Hahira,
and a bunch of stuff in Valdosta.
including

stormwater revisions to the LDR.
Here’s

the agenda,

LAKE videos of the meeting.
