Videos: PUD setback, road access, and building variances @ ZBOA 2016-04-05



LAKE videos of the four Lowndes County cases before ZBOA.
There was some discussion about


VAR-2016-04 Joshua Restoration Ranch (5808 McDonald Road),
which is about road access for a group/family personal care home.
One was already withdrawn by the applicant:

VAR-2016-03 Southers (1290 Southers Lane).
The other two are about

minimum building setbacks and

road access.
Thanks to ZBOA member Gretchen Quarterman, the entire board packet is
on the LAKE website,
and here’s
the agenda.

ZBOA makes actual decisions, unlike the Planning Commission, which only recommends.
Here’s

a video playlist:

Videos: Crosspointe Church @ ZBOA 2016-02-02



In a split decision with a condition, they approved
their one case,
VAR-2016-01 (CrossPointe Church, Valdosta GA),
with all members present for the
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Not clear what are the buffer or landscape requirements they want a variance from.
If ZBOA published its board packets online, we all would be able to see that.
Same issue as for Lowndes County Commission, Valdosta City Council, and the other four cities in the county.
They did not approve

minutes of their previous meeting,
and still no decision on

name badges.
The meeting took only

45 minutes.

Agenda
below, with results from
ZBOA’s own Meeting Results Summary,
followed by the LAKE video. Continue reading →

Videos: Cemetery again, sewer, billboards, dwelling, parking @ ZBOA 2016-01-05



The Zoning Board of Appeals

last Tuesday
denied
>
the proposed cemetery: it turned out not only neighbors didn’t want it,
many of the family members didn’t, either.
Here is

the LAKE video of the entire meeting, including

the return of the name badges (still undecided), and some new cases
(

sign variance denied in an unusual three-way split vote,
house variance approved,
and

parking approved with conditions),
including

another Valdosta sanitary sewer variance (approved with conditions).
First, ZBOA’s own summary of the votes, then the video.

Cell tower, cemetery, sewer, and radio tower @ ZBOA 2015-12-01

Two

ZBOA agenda items for tomorrow
are also on
the Planning Commission agenda for tonight:


the

Withlacoochee River Wastewater Treatment Plant
and the

radio tower
Snake Nation Press
for

WSNK-LP, Valdosta Community Radio.
Apparently both of these applicants want a variance from ZBOA
in addition to a conditional use permit.

Verizon wants

a variance in Hahira for a cell tower
and the Lucas Brothers want

a cemetery variance.

Building location, front yard, and flag size @ ZBOA 2015-09-01



2:30 PM today,

building location next to Southview Cemetery,
a

front yard setback (my that’s an impressive porch!),
and

maximum size of a flag.

Here’s

the agenda from the City of Valdosta’s website,
plus links into the
board packet on the LAKE website,

I bet the city could put the board packet on their website just as easily.
