In a seldom-seen type of case, Michael Jones of Mardun Ventures wants to rezone 10.7 acres from R-21 to E-A, Estate Agriculture, to use for silviculture operations. The property does contain wetlands and it is near the Alapaha River.

Sheldon Hill and Laine Chaney want to rezone two parcels from R-A to M-2 and C-H, and to annex it into the City of Valdosta, at the northeast corner of Inner Perimeter Road and Howell Road. “The applicants are proposing to market this property for future industrial and commercial development due to its strategic location adjacent to the railroad and its proximity to Inner Perimeter Road. The applicants are requesting annexation in order to allow access to municipal utilities and other City services.”

Here is the agenda.

The board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is on the LAKE website, along with the minutes of the previous meeting, which surprisingly, were on the county’s own website!
