327 N. Ashley Street – 2nd Floor
The
rezoning at New Statenville Highway and Boring Pond Road might have passed with no conditions
if they hadn’t mentioned it’s for a Dollar General.
The Planning Commissioners wanted to see a map of the effects of the proposed Lake Park text amendment, so they tabled it. They considered the two Valdosta items together and unanimously approved each of them separately.

Last thing last Tuesday, they
approved a newspaper insert to commemorate former ZBOA member Mike Hill,
who recently died.
ZBOA granted 5:1 a request in VAR-2017-06 for lots smaller than in the county’s Family ties requirement. Again 5:1 they granted the VAR-2017-07 request for a barn setback. For each of those cases, one person spoke for.
In “yet another case that came about due to a recent survey”, as County Zoner Carmella Braswell said, they Continue reading

Update 2017-05-31: Forgot the two Valdosta cases.
Tonight there’s a very light agenda at the Planning Commission, with one zoning change from Lake Park, and one very small rezoning in Lowndes County at the corner of New Statenville Highway and Boring Pond Road.
Parcel ID 0239 069, Lowndes County Tax Assessors
Update 2017-06-26: the rest of the LAKE videos of this meeting. They’re discussing this budget this morning and voting on it Tuesday 27 June 2017.
“You have the packets that have been provided for you in regards budget,”,
said County Chairman Bill Slaughter, but the taxpayers do not have that packet
for this meeting that was not on the county calendar until this morning, had no agenda, and only popped up
online also that same yesterday morning of this Budget Work Session.
This is the summary given by Continue reading
Six minutes and ten seconds yesterday morning
to breeze through the
agenda for the Work Session;
the Lowndes County Commission votes tonight at 5:30 PM.
Also,
the Chairman announced
the
Budget Work Session to start at 9AM,
which didn’t match the posting about that time put on the county’s website.
Tonight they will very likely reappoint Jeff Sikes to the Airport Authority, increase “convenience fees for online and telephone payments to $2.50 per transaction”, some I-75 exit work, and a swimming pool at Moody Air Force Base. Plus a beer and wine license due to the usual change of ownership, and an HVAC maintenance contract.
Video.
Jeff Sikes had a letter of endorsement from the Airport Authority,
and the county Chairman said a few words for him.
If Sikes was present, they didn’t mention it.
Below are links to each LAKE video of yesterday morning’s Work Session plus a very few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. Continue reading
The T-SPLOST motion passed, but as a very unusual split vote, two weeks ago in the Lowndes County Commission Regular Session, 9 May 2017.
4. Peace Officers Memorial Week Proclamation Presentation,
Vice-Chair Joyce Evans presiding, they spent about five minutes on this item, including a speech by Sheriff Ashley Paulk, in which he said his department would be having a bigger presence. Chairman Bill Slaughter returned from his “good little trip” some time in there and took up the gavel after the minutes to be approved.
They reappointed Continue reading
Not on their calendar until this morning, no agenda, and only popped up online also this morning, the same day of this Budget Work Session. And even though that says it would start at 8:45, they actually announced in the main Work Session that it would start at 9AM.
If Gretchen hadn’t been there with the LAKE camera, Continue reading
