The Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend the one case before it last month: rezoning for offices on Old US 41 North.
Lowndes County still does not have a County Planner and now not a Zoner, either, since Carmella Braswell resigned last month. As usual, Molly Stevenson spoke for Planning. I see she is now listed as Department Head on some county documents.
Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a few notes, followed by a LAKE video playlist. See also the agenda and the more recent Lowndes County Commission meeting.

3. REZ-2019-05 Rodney Tenery – 4555 Old US 41 North, Hahira
Video. This is between Old US 41 North and the railroad, between Valwood and Scruggs.
Map: Lowndes County Tax Assessors, Parcel 0053 112, 4555 Old US 41 North.Misty Yeargan of 4501 Wellington Woods Drive, across US 41 from the point of the subject property, wanted to know if there was a plan for the subject property. The proponent answered to say that there’s not room for a driveway down there, so any driveway would have to be farther north, about where the current driveway is now. Acting county planner Molly Stevenson added that there would be buffer requirements in place, as well. They voted unanimously to recommend the rezoning with no conditions.
