Videos: Four Citizens, Permitting and Inspections Ordinances and fees, Water main extension, Service contracts, court grants, and a fire truck @ LCC Regular

The July 25, 2023, Lowndes County Commission Regular Session took half an hour,
only because four citizens spoke:
one about

tax assessments,
one about

youth advisory council,
and

two about

voting machines.

Collage @ LCC 25 July 2023

Commissioners approved every item unanimously, spending
more than $10 million, mostly on

7.a. Exit 13 Touchton Road Water Main Extension.

The only discussion was when Commissioner Scottie Orenstein asked if it was the original
Engine 10
and Commissioner Wisenbaker asked how the exhaust could fail.

Commissioner Demarcus Marshall was absent.

County Manager Paige Dukes

8. Reports – County Manager
praised staff for the new

Permitting and Inspections Ordinances,
but did not say where they might be found on lowndescounty.com.
She also extolled the rollout of the new county website at the same URL.
Maybe permitting is on there under Services, which leads to

Technical Standards under Engineering.

Below are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item,
with a few notes by Gretchen Quarterman,
followed by a LAKE video playlist.

By far the longest item at yesterday morning’s Work Session
of the Lowndes County Commission was

4. Recognition of Pretrial, Probation, – Parole Supervision.
That item accounted for about five minutes of the sixteen-minute meeting.

They vote tonight at 5:30 PM.

No rezonings, but something much more pervasive at this week’s Lowndes County Commission meetings:
Permitting and Inspections Ordinances
and
a Building Permit Fee Schedule.

Videos: REZ-2022-09 Flannigan, James Road, Walkers Crossing Roundabout, $516,710 communications @ LCC Work 2022-08-08

Update 2022-08-22:
Rezoning, Roundabout, Abandonment, Subdivision @ LCC 2022-08-08.

Some hard-to-see plans were projected for the Flannigan James Road and Smith Street rezoning,
but they are merely speculative and would not bind the developer, while they would bind the Commission to the C-G zoning,
so you can hear and see in these LAKE videos of yesterday morning’s
Lowndes County Commission Work Session.
They vote this evening at 5:30 PM in the Regular Session.

REZ-2022-09 Flannigan plans

There was little new about the other agenda items.

Videos: REZ-2022-09 Flannigan, James Road, Walkers Crossing Roundabout, $516,710 communications @ LCC Work 2022-08-08.

This morning at the Work Session, for voting tomorrow evening at the Regular Session,
the Flannigan James Road rezoning is back on the Lowndes County Commission Agenda,
after being
tabled
May 16, 2022.
Looks like county staff have worked around to supporting it this time;
don’t know what the neighbors who petitioned against it think.

Flannigan James Road rezoning back again

There’s also a GDOT maintenance agreement for the Walkers Crossing Roundabout,
the second reading of the Abandonment of a Portion of Boring Pond Lane,
and adopting water and sewer infrastructure for West Schoolhouse Road Subdivision, which “is located in the Lake Park area off of
Schoolhouse Pond Road, Payton Place, Burnt Pine Drive, and Timber Wind Circle and has a total of 31 lots.”

The county as usual pretends none of the above will cost anything.
The two big budget items are for communications: Continue reading →
