Lowndes County Commission denies Quarterman Road rezoning –VDT 2023-09-13

Update 2023-09-16:

Videos: Quarterman Road rezoning unanimously denied; Mt. Zion Church Road rezoning unanimously approved @ LCC Regular 2023-09-12.

The VDT got the most important point right:
the Lowndes County Commission unanimously denied the proposed rezoning REZ-2023-04 for 2.5-acre lots, smaller than the 5-acre minimum in on E-A Quarterman Road.
And they spelled Tom Larson’s name right.

Thanks to all who helped get this result:
everybody who signed the petition,
those who circulated the petition,
those who spoke in the Planning Commission and County Commission meetings,
7 of 8 of the Planning Commissioners who recommended denial,
and the Lowndes County Commissioners for unanimously denying this inappropriate rezoning.

The application for the Quarterman Road rezoning, and more petition signatures against it @ LCC 2023-09-12

Update 2023-09-13:
Lowndes County Commission denies Quarterman Road rezoning –VDT 2023-09-13.

We had to ask three times, but we finally got the application for the
rezoning on Quarterman Road, REZ-2023-04.

Here is

that application, and also
three more signatures on the petition against the rezoning,
plus

an updated table of signers and addresses about a hundred of them.

We ask the Lowndes County Commissioners to do the same thing they did
about the Miller Bridge rezoning and about the Dollar General resoning on Skipper Bridge:
deny this one as well, because it, like them, is in an Agricultre-Forestry-Conservation Character Area,
and the vast majority of nearby landowners and residents do not want it.

Mapquest says that is an address of Harris Surveying & Engineering. Continue reading →
