In the LAKE videos of the following month’s
June 29, 2026, GLPC meeting, Gretchen Quarterman noted,
“The approval of the minutes was tabled until next meeting because not all commissioners had received, or reviewed the minutes.”

So maybe the May minutes will get approved in July.

These draft minutes are

on the LAKE website, with images of each page below.

Update 2026-07-09:
Draft Minutes: Lowndes County small subdivision and communications tower, Valdosta doublewide and contractor office @ GLPC 2026-06-29.

Update 2026-06-07:
Packet: Appointments to 3 Boards, 1 small subdivision, Old US 41 N widening, Alcohol, Sewage, insurance, bonds, and roads @ LCC 2026-06-08.

The Greater Lowndes Planning Commissioners unanimously recommended approval of all the cases, except the communications tower, which was withdrawn by applicant.

They spent by far the most time (17 and a half minutes) on

5. CU-2026-03 Request by Latoyona Speed and San Antonio Graham
for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for placement of a mobile home in a Single-Family Residential
(R-6) zoning district.
They even suggested orienting the doublewide parallel with the street,
until they realized that would leave only half a foot setback on each end.

Packet: Lowndes County small subdivision and communications tower, Valdosta doublewide and contractor office @ GLPC 2026-05-25

The Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) will meet Tuesday instead of its usual Monday,
because of the Memorial Day Holiday.

Valdosta City staff recommend denial of a request to put a doublewide mobile home on N Barack Obama Boulevard because it might gasp! be unsightly.
Nevermind the floor plan looks more substantial than many a stick-built house.

Lowndes County staff are fine with
a tiny subdivision on US 41 S just north of the planned Lake Park Fire Station.

We don’t know their take on a communications tower near Meetinghouse Creek, upstream from the Little River west of Hahira,
because they did not send that part of the board packet materials.

Here is the

agenda.

The board packet materials, received from Lowndes County in response to a LAKE open records request, are

on the LAKE website.
Except for the materials they did not send for
TWR-2026-01 Salem Church Communication Facility, Old Valdosta Road N., Hahira, GA ~25ac, Parcel 0008-010,
and the minutes of the previous GLPC meeting.
For the tower I’ve inserted a Lowndes County Tax Assessors map.

Images of each packet page we’ve got are below.
