Thoroughfare Plan, RR bridge, resurfacing four roads, opioids @ LCC 2018-04-09

You can’t see the
Special Presentation by Attorney Haynes Studstill on Opioid Litigation (Work Session)
because Gretchen was not there with the LAKE video camera yesterday morning,
and

the agenda
says it’s only in the Work Session.
Lowndes County does video its own County Commission meetings,
but they haven’t posted the video of that yet.
Meanwhile, the City of Valdosta did

decide to join a lawsuit against big pharma about opioid addiction.
Another county legal item for tonight is
FY2019 Juvenile Justice Incentive Grant Program Request for Proposals (RFP).

They’re doing an
Update to the Lowndes County Thoroughfare Plan, which is for:

Road Map,

2009 Lowndes County Thoroughfare Plan.

HISTORY, FACTS AND ISSUES: The Lowndes County Board of Commissioners
first adopted the Thoroughfare Plan in 1983. Since then, the
Thoroughfare Plan has been revised numerous times Continue reading →

Videos: North Oak Street, Lakeland Highway, Rocky Ford Road @ GLPC 2018-03-26

The Planning Commission had a large crowd,
including County Commissioner Joyce Evans and Chairman Bill Slaughter
visible lower left, and that may be Commissioner Mark Wisenbaker in front of them.

Most of them

left after the

North Oak Street
planned development, excuse me, rezoning,
took almost an hour.
See the notes on that item below for a spoiler for what happened to it later.

Second longest at almost fourteen minutes was the

Lakeland Highway rezoning, in which the current owners
apparently were trying to fix a problem left them by previous owners.

Third at almost seven minutes was a tie between
the

CR Ventures (Camp Rock again) rezoning on Rocky Ford Road
and
the

Kaylyn Gill Tucker rezoning on Enoch Lake Road,
carving out a plot for a single house from a planned development.

Rocky Ford Road again @ GLPC 2018-03-26

This

CR Ventures rezoning on
the agenda for tonight
is two doors down on Rocky Ford Road from
the recent

Camp Rock rezoning, again for a Watkins,
and again represented by Jack Langdale.
Coincidence, or related?

Videos: Rocky Ford Road, Sharp Family, C-G Bemiss Rd @ LCC 2018-02-13

Again like in the

previous morning’s Work Session
the lengthiest regular item was the

rezoning on Rocky Ford Road
for the
church-proposed Camp Rock,
mostly with attorney Jack Langdale speaking for,
including that a “wilderness camp” for unfortunate children doesn’t need
a buffer, and any future buyers of neighboring property beware.

The

Sharp family said for seven years they have been trying to
get somebody to do something about stray dogs,
only to discover Animal Control doesn’t work weekends anymore,
and the Sheriff’s office won’t do anything, even though one
of their family had been killed by the dogs and another bitten, and the dogs
are now into their second and third generations running loose.

Third longest was Continue reading →
