Not on the agenda:
Coal Ash
and

Y-Lead from Hahira Middle School and Teen Explosion.
Also

Stone Creek train quiet hours.

In a fifteen minute item, the Commission approved a split rezoning for
REZ-2017-02 Calles,
and they approved the removal of conditions from
REZ-2017-03 Val North Dr, Stewart Circle.
They approved the
CDBG Grant preparation,
but they didn’t mention they can’t actually apply until the resolve
their feud with the local cities about tax allocation.

Videos: Calles back again for Alexandria Street + another County + 2 Valdosta @ GLPC 2017-02-27



Here are the LAKE videos for the 27 February 2017 Greater Lowndes Planning Commission,
with

Wilmer Calles on behalf of Rosa Calles
again about
going “backwards” to agricultural zoning (the neighbors don’t like it).
See

the agenda.
Plus

another county rezoning
(the county votes on those two tonight).
There were also to
Valdosta rezonings,
but Gretchen had to leave with the LAKE camera before
the first one
was finished.
The county or the city could video these Planning Commission meetings themselves. Continue reading →

Videos: Calles again, Val North PD Water Sewer, Habitat CDBG, Sewage Valves, Stone Creek Antenna, Sheriff, Alcohol @ LCC 2017-03-13



Maybe more will show up at 5:30PM today for the Regular Session
than the Chairman and only two Commissioners at yesterday’s Work Session
(Joyce Evans and Mark Wisenbaker).

Chairman Bill Slaughter

revealed why he had been missing from the meetings two weeks before:
he had been attending an America’s Defense Community event in in San Antonio, Texas about Moody AFB.
Follow

the link
for more about this.
He complimented Vice-Chair Joyce Evans for running the meeting better than usual
in his absence.
She did beat his former record of five minutes by holding a
three-minute Work Session.

The returning
REZ-2017-02 Calles rezoning now
wants to split half conservation and half R-A.
Apparently the other rezoning,
REZ-2017-03 Val North Dr, Stewart Circle, PD Amendment and Conditions Removal, Water & Sewer, ~9 acres
had been heard before and was now being reconsidered because
a road had been paved.
Remember that when they try to claim roads don’t drive development.

Below are links to each LAKE video of the 13 March 2017 Work Session of the Lowndes County Commission, with a few notes, followed by a video playlist.

Calles again, Val North PD Water Sewer, Habitat CDBG, Sewage Valves, Stone Creek Antenna, Sheriff, Alcohol @ LCC 2017-03-13

The county apparently doesn’t want its
Peterson Road Isolation Valves
leaking like Valdosta’s famous January 2017 WWTP failure.
Two other water cases are on
the agenda
for this morning’s 8:30 AM Work Session, both rezonings:
REZ-2017-02 Calles, Alexandria St, R-10 and CON to R-A and CON, Well and Septic, ~13 acres
back again (Planning Commission still doesn’t like it; staff maybe),
a new one,
REZ-2017-03 Val North Dr, Stewart Circle, PD Amendment and Conditions Removal, Water & Sewer, ~9 acres.


Parcel 0167 098A

Parcel 0167 098A

The “Conflict of interest certification, resolution, and authorization”
under
FY 2017 CDBG Grant, Valdosta- Lowndes County Habitat for Humanity
actually means no conflict of interest, according to
the agenda sheet,
which also notes “Lowndes County is currently on course to apply for $750,000.00 in CDBG funds from the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for a
new public facility for the Valdosta-Lowndes County Habitat for Humanity.”
Well, they’re not on course until they stop feuding with the local cities
about tax revenue allocation, because they can’t apply for any state
or federal grants until that is resolved.

Two safety items:
Stone Creek Antenna Space License Agreement
and
Sheriff's Office Vehicle Lease Agreement.

And no County Commission meeting is complete without alcohol:
Beer & Wine License – Rajendrakumar N. Patel of Bhumi Corporation – 6685 Bemiss Rd., Valdosta, GA.
I don’t recall they’ve ever denied one of those,
so I don’t know why they don’t just make an ordinance that permitting
staff can approve them.

Here’s
the agenda.
Gretchen is there with the LAKE camera.
Will the meeting take more than the three minutes last time?

Videos: 3 for 2 VLMPO appointments, 2 – 1 rezonings, 3 water + credit cards, alcohol @ LCC 2017-02-14



Tuesday Chairman Bill Slaughter did say

there will be a retreat Thursday and Friday this week, but he didn’t say where or what time of day.
Yesterday afternoon they finally put on their website that
it starts 8AM this morning at Quail Branch Lodge.
Here’s hoping Commissioner Joyce Evans is well enough to attend.

In a refreshing change of procedure, Continue reading →

Videos: 2 VLMPO appointments, 2 rezonings, 3 water + credit cards, alcohol @ LCC 2017-02-13



They vote 5:30 PM today. The longest item at yesterday morning’s Work Session was

6b. REZ-2017-02 Calles, Alexandria St, R-10 and CON to E-A, Well and Septic, 0213 acres,
which also got the longest discussion of any county case at the recent
Planning Commission meeting, where GLPC voted to recommend denial.
All parties want the other rezoning,

6a. REZ-2017-01 Cone/Malone, tabled.

The second longest item yesterday morning was

7c. Request for Relief for Tuscany Palms Utility Tax District,
which had a long list of staff involved in it.

They did name the three

three candidates for two VLMPO vacancies,
but none of them were present.
At least one wasn’t even aware he was actually a candidate.

2 VLMPO appointments, 2 rezonings, 3 water + credit cards, alcohol @ LCC 2017-02-13

On

the agenda for 8:30 AM this morning,

three candidates for two VLMPO vacancies,


and none of the candidates are
incumbents, according to

Valdosta
or
Lowndes County.
Rezonings on
Madison Hwy
and
Alexandria St,
both probably uncontroversial; see the
LAKE videos of the preceding GLPC meeting for those two items.
Yet again
Approval of Elected Officials Using County Issued Purchasing Cards and Credit Cards
and as usual a
Beer License.
Three water items:
Bevel Creek Lift Station Automatic Transfer Switch,
