Update 2024-02-12: Videos: Gresham Event Venue, Kinderlou-Clyattville Road RoW, Hurricane Idalia repairs @ LCC Work 2024-02-12.

The contentious Gresham Event Venue on Old Valdosta Road is on the Lowndes County Commission agenda for this week, after the Planning Commission last month recommended denial in a split vote. It drew substantial opposition letters from Richard A. Stalvey and Justin Coleman.

The County Commissioners meet Monday morning at 8:30 AM to discuss, and they vote 5:30 PM Tuesday.

Also the less contentious Byrd Road house lot project, the purchase of right of way for Kinderlou-Clyattville Road, more money from TIA for Briggston Road Paving and Drainage Improvements, acceptance of infrastructure and roads for Quarterman Estates Phase 4, Section 2 (no relation), and several Hurricane Idalia repair projects to be reimbursed 87% by FEMA.

About the Byrd Road “individual residences&rdquop, staff express what seem to be reservations that the “unique shape of the property coupled with the requirements for individual well and septic systems naturally limits the overall development.” But staff recommend approval.

For the Gresham Event Venue on Old Valdosta Road, staff recommend several conditions, and they cite four other rural event venues. It’s worth quoting much of that agenda sheet: Continue reading →

Rezonings on Old Valdosta Road and Byrd Road @ GLPC 2024-01-29

In the Valdosta Daily Times, January 14, 2024 is a Public Notice for two Lowndes County rezoning proposals, both apparently in the middle of agricultural areas. REZ-2024-01 is for PD-R (Rural Planned Development) and REZ-2024-02 is for R-1 (Low Density Residential), both from E-A (Estate Agricultural).

The subject property for REZ-2024-01 runs all the way from Old Valdosta Road down across Salem Church Road and Webb Road to the Little River, so it’s not clear which 10 acres is proposed for rezoning.

Both cases will be before the Planning Commission on January 29, and the Lowndes County Commission on February 13, 2024. Continue reading →
