They didn’t have an applicant for the
Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities
at Monday morning’s Work Session;
Chairman Bill Slaughter invited anyone who wanted to apply to speak up.
The
Withlacoochee River Flood Inundation Map Project
had the longest discussion,
and the County Manager reminded everyone
it’s time for
scheduling meetings to set millage rates.
They vote tonight at 5:30 PM; see Continue reading

Vacant seat Behavioral Health Board, Rezoning also on GLPC Monday, road abandonment, land exchange, and flood map project @ LCC 2016-07-25
Public hearings for the
event center rezoning
and the
Abandonment of a Portion of Worthington Triangle are
on the
agenda
for the Monday morning Work Session and for voting
in the Tuesday evening Regular Session.
That rezoning is also (back) on
Planning Commission agenda
for Monday evening.
And back on the County Commission agenda is the Withlacoochee River Flood Inundation Map Project; see LAKE videos from the previous County Commission meetings, and a modest suggestion.
Also in water, another LAS Pump Motor Repair and a Foxborough Pressure Reducing Valve/Vault. It was actually an LAS pump control panel last month.

No agenda for Planning Commission Work Session @ GLPC 2016-05-23
On
Lowndes County’s website
there’s no agenda for tonight’s Planning Commission Work Session,
even though
the City of Valdosta’s calendar
lists that Work Session for 5:30 PM Monday May 23rd 2016
at South Health District Administrative Office (former Lowndes County Administration Building),
325 W Savannah Ave, Valdosta, GA 31601.
Presumably the
Hahira rezonings and annexation will be discussed.
And will County Manager Joe Pritchard say this morning at 8:30 AM
at the Lowndes County Work Session that he has received an annexation letter from Hahira?
Neither of these Monday meetings are public hearings: the public can attend, but can not speak. See previous post for when the public hearings are.

No to Brookhaven rezoning @ Lake Park 2014-05-06
After
the Planning Commission meeting of 31 March 2014
and
the Lake Park City Council meeting of 1 April 2014,
and
a special public hearing,
the Lake Park City Council
voted 3 to 1 to deny the Brookhaven apartment building
rezoning.
Mayor Eric Schindler’s statement about how the hornet’s nest of the Brookhaven rezoning LP-2014-02-26, or any rezoning, is a process and not a snap decision is well worth watching.
The City of Lake Park does not appear to have posted an agenda, or at least where I expected to find it there are no details. Below are links to the videos in the order items appeared at the Lake Park City Council Regular Session of May 6th 2014, with a few notes.

Why is the Valdosta City Council considering
annexing and rezoning
land for VLCIA that the Industrial Authority apparently doesn’t even own?
Revolving loans, railroad, and appointments to
the Central Valdosta Development Authority/
Downtown Development Authority,
to the Valdosta-Lowndes County Conference Center & Tourism Authority,
to the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Citizen Advisory Committee,
and the Valdosta Tree Commission.
That rezoning was considered at the 28 October 2013 Planning Commission meeting. Here’s the Valdosta City Council agenda:

Videos: Attorney set different prices, Commissioners set millage date @ LCC 2013-07-09
The most interesting developments were not on the agenda.
Commissioners approved dollar amounts
for two purchase orders
that were completely different
from the ones they were quoted the morning before, with no discussion:
the County Attorney quoted the new figures, asked for approval,
and immediately got it.
Commissioner Richard Raines still didn’t want to enforce
a neighborhood covenant
yet it was Commissioner Raines
who made the motion last fall to let
an Exclusive Franchise
with
Advanced Disposal Services;
a covenant the county is now trying to enforce
by having the County Attorney
sue local business Deep South Sanitation.
They said nothing about
that 100 foot wide pipeline barrelling through the county.
They could have the County Attorney investigate that, but they aren’t.
They approved meeting for millage rate approval 8:30 AM Friday 26 July 2013:
that’s for the property taxes they collect, which presumably
partly go to pay the County Attorney.
And the Chairman refused to let a citizen speak on a technicality.
Here’s the agenda with links to the videos and a few notes. See also videos of the previous morning’s Work Session.

The Covenant at James Road @ LCC 2013-07-09
“All right, we’ll take one more!”
said County Chairman Bill Slaughter
in a public hearing
at the
9 July 2013 Regular Session of the Lowndes County Commission.
The Commission declined to enforce a covenant for the neighbors,
but it is still playing enforcer for a garbage company owned by
investors in New York City.
5. Public Hearing — REZ-2013-07 Leatherwood, 2402 or 2406 James Rd. R-1 and R-21 to R-10, LC Water and Sewer, ~0.71 acres
County Planner presented the case
the same way he did the previous morning at the Work Session.
This time they had a copy of the agreement with the neighbors signed by
the applicant.
The neighbors still wanted the Commission to guarantee that covenant.

Not big enough, I guess:
I don’t have any interest at all in this board enforcing covenants like that.Commissioner Richard Raines said that at yesterday morning’s Work Session about a covenant the neighbors want a rezoning applicant to sign, yet it was Commissioner Raines who made the motion last fall to let an Exclusive Franchise with Advanced Disposal Services; a covenant the county is now trying to enforce by suing local business Deep South Sanitation. They said nothing about that 100 foot wide pipeline barrelling through the county. They vote tonight, 5:30 PM.
County sound still wasn’t working, going on a month now, back in the videoing pen in the back of the room, so what you hear is what we hear back there, as recorded by the LAKE camera.
Here’s the agenda with links to the videos and a few notes.

Videos: Two rezonings and a lease @ LCC 2013-03-11
A surprising number of questions were asked by Commissioners
at yesterday morning’s Work Session, yet still nobody asked
about the well near
one of the proposed rezonings.
We had a microphone failure during the first few items;
sound picks up as the Commissioners start asking questions on
5.b. REZ-2013-04.
Because of the sound glitch
you can’t tell that for sure from the videos that nobody discussed SPLOST,
but Gretchen was there from call to order to adjournment, and she didn’t hear anything about
SPLOST.
Maybe they’ll say something about it tonight at their 5:30 PM Regular Session,
at which they vote on these rezonings and contract.
Here’s the agenda with links to the videos and some notes.
