Two
ZBOA agenda items for tomorrow
are also on
the Planning Commission agenda for tonight:
the
Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant
and the
radio tower
Snake Nation Press
for
WSNK-LP, Valdosta Community Radio.
Apparently both of these applicants want a variance from ZBOA
in addition to a conditional use permit.
Verizon wants a variance in Hahira for a cell tower and the Lucas Brothers want a cemetery variance.

An invisible change to Valdosta’s
Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Already
a subdivision rezoning after the old US 41 N widening.
And still going in its third year, the
Moody Activities Zones (MAZ) Text Amendments,
with
updates last week,
including
the Chamber’s latest position,
all on top of
the previous updates.
Those are just the
Lowndes County cases on the
agenda tonight for the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC).
The six Valdosta cases include a funeral home, a radio station, a church accessory, a community commercial rezoning, an amendment to a Planned Development, and City of Valdosta sign regulations changes.
All that plus Continue reading
Last month,
Unscheduled:
Laverne Gaskins announced she did not want to be reappointed to ZBOA.
Fairway got to put its
billboard
back up at the new overpass, but only at 50 feet high.
Plus in the county, a
building location variance
and a
Family Ties variance
were both approved unanimously.
They meet again today at 2:30PM. Continue reading
They’re meeting again today, and last month
the
baseball diamond west of Hahira was approved with conditions 4-1.
The water connection variance on
Jumping Gully Road,
was approved 5-0,
and the electric company parking variance on
Norman Drive, tabled
the previous month,
was withdrawn by applicant (before the meeting),
all according to
ZBOA’s own Summary of Results.
See also the agenda for the 7 April 2015 Zoning Board of Appeals meeting. Here’s the LAKE video of the meeting:

Today at 2:30 PM, Fairway wants to put its billboard back up at the new overpass:

Will ZBOA approve a
60-foot-high billboard?
Plus in the county, a

and a
Family Ties variance.
Here’s the agenda, from the City of Valdosta website.

FINAL ACTION by the City of Valdosta Mayor-Council
Thursday, May 7, 2015
Valdosta City Hall, 216 E. Central Street, Valdosta, Georgia
Council Chambers, 2nd Floor
5:30 p.m.
They took the
Lake Park personal services case
first and recommended it 8:0.
REZ-2015-06 Vickers was withdrawn by applicant.
Vallotton Farms‘ reversion to Estate Agricultural was recommended 8:0
after an explanation by attorney Bill Langdale (and yours truly chimed in).
Denser zoning for
Edward Jennings LLC
was recommended 5:4 with a rare example of the Chairman voting, this time in favor.
And the Valdosta historic preservation
LDR changes were recommended 8:0.
Those two Lowndes County cases have already been heard at the
Lowndes County Commission
Work Session yesterday morning
and will be voted on tonight at the Regular Session.
The Vallotton case greatly puzzled the County Planner and at least one of the Commissioners.
Here’s the agenda, reordered according to how they actually considered the cases, with links to the videos, results of the votes, and a few notes. Continue reading
Today at 2:30 PM, the owner of the
baseball diamond west of Hahira is not expected to appear, because he’s working.
If you want to see him, try
Yankee Stadium, Bronx, New York, tomorrow evening.
There’s a water connection variance on
Jumping Gully Road,
and the electric company parking variance on
Norman Drive in Valdosta tabled
last month
has been withdrawn.
Here’s the agenda, which oddly is not yet on the City of Valdosta website. Continue reading
Videos of ZBOA decisions on
one
single-family residence and a
car dealership sign in the county,
and
an electric company sign parking variance in the city.
They meet again this afternoon.
Here’s the agenda, with decisions, followed by the videos. Continue reading
While
Vallotton Farms wants to revert to Estate Agricultural,
Vickers
and
Edward Jennings LLC want denser zoning.
It’s not clear what the
Valdosta historic preservation case
or the
Lake Park personal services case
are about, since the county still doesn’t publish board packets.
Note that Vallotton Farms (both the part outlined in red
that appears to be the subject of the rezoning and the bigger part west of Bemiss Road) is on Cherry Creek, upstream from the dam,
and upstream from Cherry Creek Sink on the
Withlacoochee River, which leaks into our drinking water in the Floridan Aquifer.
Better agriculture upstream from that than other possibilities.
Here’s the agenda. Continue reading
