Packet: $0.9 million paving project, reduction of millage rate, 3 small rezonings @ LCC 2020-08-10

For the Monday morning Work session and Tuesday evening voting Regular Session,
the Lowndes County Commission has
only one item that has “BUDGET IMPACT” in its agenda sheet, but it’s a doozy:

Cost What
$899,744.40
Ridgecrest, Woodland and Glenview Paving & Drainage Project
$899,744.4 Total

The agenda sheet says:

Lowndes County solicited bids for Ridgecrest, Woodland and Glenview
Grading, Drainage, Base and Paving. The project will consist of
Grading, Drainage, Base and Paving of Ridgecrest and Woodland and
the installation of a box culvert under Glenview Drive. Vendors
present for the pre-bid meeting held on July 21, 2020, were James
Warren & Associates, Southland Contractors, Reames & Son
Construction, Rountree Construction, and The Scruggs Company. Three
bids were received on August 4, 2020.

Here are the bids:

Where is that?
South of the west end of W Savanna Ave, near I-75 Exit 16.

Ridgecrest Street & Woodland Drive

Ah, yes, I got stuck in traffic there not so long ago,
trying to get around a stopped train.

We know this much because LAKE obtained a copy of the board packet
through an open records request; it’s
on the LAKE website.

I suppose if we rummage around enough we’ll find details of
NC-TIA 2019-04 somewhere on the county’s website.

Here is
the agenda.

Four Lowndes County cases: water, solar, junkyard, bodyshop @ ZBOA 2019-12-03

A

solar project near the Withlacoochee River proposes to cut down pecan trees
and not put up the required height vegetative buffer.

A family timber operation
wants water and sewer for a subdivision.
A junkyard wants a variance for
opaque fencing.
A bodyshop apparently wants to
enlarge an existing nonconforming structure.
All four are Lowndes County cases on the ZBOA agenda for 2:30 PM today.

Videos: Rights of Way variances: Village of Hope and SSMT Holdings @ ZBOA 2019-10-01

ZBOA approved both Lowndes County cases,
both for variances to access rights of way,
but

one barely by a split vote,
with

the other unanimous.

Rights of Way variances: Village of Hope and SSMT Holdings @ ZBOA 2019-10-01

Two Lowndes County cases this month at ZBOA,
both wanting variances to access rights of way.

Village of Hope
appears to be
a religious rehab center,
offshoot of
House of Hope,
wanting to use the same access road as Valdosta Wake Compound.

[Site plan on Aerial Map]

SSMT Holdings
appears to be an ordinary subdivision expansion,
with fewer feet than code requires for road access due to a retention pond.

Also, ZBOA votes on
officers this month.

Here is the agenda.

Videos: Branham subdivision, Trash, RR crossing @ LCC 2018-03-13



Most of the meeting (13 and a half minutes) was about

Bill Branham’s subdivision,
which passed,
with the Chairman breaking the tie because one Commissioner recused himself.
Opponents took up almost another minute

leaving the room.

On a split vote the Commission

declined to modify the solid waste ordinance to give the County Manager more power.

Second longest at more than 6 minutes was

Michael J. Killeen’s R-A to M-1 rezoning.
Virdie Mae Lyons got her

well and septic rezoning in a minute and a half.
