John,

I got a call today regarding comments that have been made about
Agenda Item 7.h on your blog page, for clarification COWART & Sons
was not awarded a contract for this emergency repair the contractor
was Rountree Construction!

We requested a temporary easement from property owner Cowart & Sons
to allow Rountree Construction to perform the work on a private road Continue reading →

Fixing private road Carter Way next to proposed Sabal Trail fracked methane path @ LCC 2016-04-12


Cowart & Son, Carter Way
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.

Videos: Hahira rezoning and annexation, two Valdosta CUP @ GLPC 2014-04-28



Tabled at applicant’s request:
the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation;
see also the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014.
The proponents
to establish a recycling center
didn’t show up to answer questions, and due to lack of information
(noise, hours, odors, vermin, expansion, etc.), GLPC unanimously voted to recommend tabling.
GLPC voted to recommend approval with selected conditions for
Langdale Ford’s
minor automotive repair facility.

Remember, Lowndes County answered an open records request for the agenda

47 hours after this Planning Commission meeting started.
Here’s

the actual agenda by other means.

One Hahira rezoning and annexation and Two Valdosta Conditional Use Permits @ GLPC 2014-04-28



It seems unlikely the Hahira
rezoning
and
annexation
will go anywhere tonight, due to the

Lowndes County Commission letter of objection of 22 April 2014,
even though that may be based on a misunderstanding.
Hm, somebody wants
to establish a recycling center.
And Langdale Ford wants
to establish a minor automotive repair facility.

Here’s the agenda, which arrived as a PDF actually convertable to text!
