which the Planning Commission recommended 6:1.
Below are links to each LAKE video with a few notes, followed by a
LAKE video playlist.

agenda.
Almost half an hour on the
Bill Branham subdivision on Copeland Road
resulted in a split denial: the only denial in this Planning Commission Regular Session.
Slightly less time on
the Charles Bennett accessory dwelling unit on Green Meadown Drive
got unanimous approval with staff conditions.
Ten minutes on the
Clint Joyner’s request for Knight’s Development’s
30-acre subdivision rezoning on Bemiss Knights Academy Road
got unanimous approval.
About the same on
Tim Blanton’s rezoning of 45+ acres to residential agriculture
passed unanimously.
Ditto
rezoning for Richard Bonner’s rezoning for
a fast-growth corridor between Highway 84 and Interstate 75.
Less time for
Jon Nijem’s expanded parking on Baytree Road
to pass unanimously.
Keith Sandlin’s
Lake Park case did sail through,
as did
John Thomas’ rezoning for a showroom for his show car business.
Commissioner Willis’ term was
coming up for reappointment.

Twenty five minutes on

nominated
the same Chair and Vice-Chair as currently:

officers, and they did.

Well, it wasn’t all that brief, because
3. REZ-2017-11 Dasher Johnson & Howell Roads
for an office far away from any similar zoning
was contentious and almost 40 minutes long,
with a split vote against, although later
the Lowndes County Commission passed the rezoning anyway.
Second longest was
4. CU-2017-05 206 East College Street (B&B)
at almost nineteen minutes.
Everything else sailed through.

Second rezoning in two months at
West Ridge Business Park, which does not appear to be
among the
eight Valdosta-Lowndes Development Authority business parks,
none of which appear to be on the agenda for today’s Planning Commission
meeting.

Three small rezonings in
Valdosta and
Lake Park,
plus a 44.97 acre office rezoning by Arrow Engineering in Lowndes County:
this could be one of the briefest and least contentious Planning Commission meetings ever.
Or not.
Lowndes County Tax Assessors say that 44.97 acre parcel is owned by
PINE RIDGE DEVELOPERS LLC,
105 CYPRESS ESTATES PARKWAY, INGRAM, TX 78025.
They also own
108.68 acres on the north side of Naylor.
Parcel 0186 078, Pine Ridge Developers LLC,
Dasher Johnson Road and Howell Road.
Here’s
the agenda.

There was shouting last night at the end of
REZ-2017-09 Robert A. Register Estate,
because some people didn’t like a recommendation for rezoning
even with numerous conditions attached.
That one took almost an hour, far longer than all the rest of the agenda.
Tonight at 5:30 PM this rezoning in Lake Park
goes to the Lowndes County Commision for the actual
decision;
they
already discussed it yesterday morning.
Below are LAKE videos of last night’s Planning Commission meeting.
