4 Hahira, 2 Valdosta, 1 Remerton @ GLPC 2019-10-28

Three of the four Hahira cases before the Planning Commission tomorrow (Monday) evening are for one parcel,
0048 044
at 6670 Brookridge Drive.

[Parcel 0048 044]

Parcel 0048 044

The applicant, Ben House (presumably for the owner of record, DB Land Development LLC),
wants to

rezone from R-21 (county) to R-10 (city),

get approval for a residential Planned Development,
and

get it annexed into the City of Hahira.
Given that it is right next to an existing development on Tillman Street South,
that seems pretty reasonable.

The

other Hahira case
is for Continue reading →

Videos: Do not pave Hightower Road, rezonings on Val Del, Great North Road, US 41 N @ LCC 2019-10-08

Eleven minutes plus

three minutes from people asking do not pave Hightower and Cooper Roads near Moody AFB.
They said they weren’t even consulted before the county decided to pave.
Chairman Bill Slaughter offered to talk with those citizens after the meeting,
but not during, when the public could have heard him.
Before that, County Manager Joe Pritchard summarized

internal discussions about the county road inventory.

More than four minutes

for the second NATCO rezoning on Val Del Road
was the longest item at this Regular Session.


The

Wisenbaker rezoning on Great North Road
had a Commissioner recuse himself and took 2.5 minutes.
The applicant request to table for
Hogan on US 42 N was passed in less than a minute.

Videos: Rezonings on Val Del, Great North Road, US 41 N @ LCC 2019-10-07

Eight minutes with no questions from Commissioners is all the Lowndes County Commission took to consider the peoples’ business at yesterday
morning’s Work Session.
Two minutes each for the rezonings for
Natco on Val Del Road
and

Wisenbaker on Great North Road.
One minute for
Hogan on US 42 N.
The Chairman noted there was a request by the applicant to table that one.
A commissioner joked a motion to approve.
The Chairman said they might take that action the next day.
They vote this evening at 5:30 PM.

The biggest news was after adjournment, when the

Valdosta Daily Times editor introduced a new reporter.

Packet: Rezonings on Val Del, Great North Road, US 41 N @ LCC 2019-10-07

The

second Natco subdivision on Val Del Road
sailed through the Planning Commission,
and probably will through the Lowndes County Commission.
Where is that wetlands study GLPC took for granted somebody conducted?

The
rezoning of the Wisenbaker property on Great North Road also sailed through GLPC 7:0.

The third rezoning,

for heavy manufacturing on the Hogan Property at US 41 N and Wellman Place,
was requested to be tabled by the applicant,

Videos: More Natco on Val Del Road + 2 more Lowndes County cases @ GLPC 2019-09-30

Longest at 22 minutes was the

second Natco subdivision on Val Del Road.
At least they’re moving back towards Valdosta, remaining within existing services
(which were run out Val Del Road for Nelson Hill).


The
Wisenbaker rezoning on Great North Road
sailed through even faster, with nobody speaking against.
The
Hogan heavy manufacturing rezoning at US 41 N and Wellman Place
was recommended to be tabled, 7:0, at the request of the applicant,
who discovered a variance is needed first.

They also recommended 7:0 approval by the various elected bodies a

Joint Ordinance, which is apparently about the operations of GLPC itself.
What’s in it is mysterious.
Why they can’t put it on the county or city website is even more mysterious.

More Natco on Val Del Road + 2 more Lowndes County cases @ GLPC 2019-09-30

Look who’s back after
last month’s rezoning on Val Del Road,
which was heard by

the Planning Commission
and
approved by
the Lowndes County Commission:
Natco, with
another
rezoning for twice as many acres, also on Val Del Road, just south of that previous rezoning.

[56 acres for sale just to the south]

56 acres for sale just to the south

Also a Joint Ordinance,
which one can guess is the one

Lowndes County Chairman talked to the Planning Commissioner
about after adjournment last month,
which one can guess is the SPLOST VIII agreement.

Why do we have to guess what our elected and appointed boards are up to?
Would it be so hard to include a few words on that agenda item to say which Joint Ordinance?
For that matter, would it be so hard to publish the GLPC board packet
along with the agenda, like many counties much smaller than Lowndes
have already been doing for years?

Here is the

agenda:


Greater Lowndes Planning Commission



~ Lowndes County


~ City of Valdosta


~ City of Dasher


~ City of Hahira


~ City of Lake Park

Videos: Bonds, Val Del Road, GLPC appointments, 1/2 million to Motorola @ LCC 2019-09-10

The longest item at 2:23 was

the Val Del Road rezoning case,
for which one Commissioner recused himself. The others passed it unanimously.


Second longest was

the GLPC appointments.
No surprise, Ed Hightower was reappointed, and the second appointment was….

Third longest was

the Chairman’s unscheduled recognition of Leadership Lowndes and advertisement for a 9/11 ceremony.
If he’s going to do this every time, maybe it could be put on the agenda.

Videos: Surprise Bonds, Val Del rezoning, GLPC appointments, 1/2 million to Motorola @ LCC 2019-09-09

Apparently more was shown on the screen yesterday morning that we finally
received this morning
in

the board packet,
such as this picture of the Nelson Hill subdivision on Val Del Road.


They also added

7.b. Refunding Revenue Bonds by South Region Joint Development Authority for VSU ASRE,
which makes no sense until you can see details in the

board packet.

After the agenda items, the Chairman made

unscheduled announcements of a Continue reading →

Packet: Surprise Bonds, Val Del Road rezoning, GLPC appointments, 1/2 million to Motorola @ LCC 2019-09-10

After four days, but before the Commission votes at 5:30 PM in its Regular Session this evening, the county sent the packet, at 10:50 AM this morning.
Three is more than the statutory 3 days in the Georgia Open Records Act (GORA).
The packet is

on the LAKE website.

Now we can see who are the applicants to the Planning Commission.

Now we can see
where is the Val Del rezoning:
from the trailer park south to the power line.

Val Del Road rezoning, GLPC appointments, and half a million to Motorola @ LCC 2019-09-09

Two new GLPC members, half a million dollars to Motorola for some unexplained acronym,
and the

Val Del Road rezoning, which
breezed through the preceding Planning Commission meeting with no opposition,
is on
the agenda
for the Work Session Monday morning and the voting session Tuesday evening of the Lowndes County Commission.
