Videos: 4 long Lowndes County cases + 2 long Valdosta cases @ GLPC 2022-05-23

Update 2022-06-14: Agenda,
4 rezonings, 2 xourts, 1 appointment, and a big ARPA-funded water project @ LCC 2022-06-16

An overflow crowd, some in the lobby, came for the four Lowndes County cases
at the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission, May 23, 2022.
Two of the Valdosta cases were also contentious.
The whole meeting took more than three hours, so long there was griping about people getting hungry.
The door alarm went off at 8 o’clock, but they plowed ahead with three remaining cases.
When they adjourned at 8:52 PM, nobody was left in the audience but Gretchen Quarterman with the LAKE video camera.

One

county and one

city case were on James Road.
The county case got a unanimous recommendation to deny,
moved by famously pro-development Franklin Bailey.
The Commissioners really did not seem to like “speculative commercial use on the subject property.” Continue reading →

ZBOA: Zoning Board of Appeals 6 December 2011

According to Valdosta City Planner Matt Martin today:

This is a reminder that your next meeting for the

Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA)

is this coming Tuesday, December 6, 2011 at 2:30pm. Attached is
a copy of the meeting agenda and also the draft minutes from both the
October and November meetings.

Just like the November meeting, there are again NO public hearing
items for December. However, we still need to meet (& have a quorum)
to approve the Minutes and also elect officers for 2012.

ZBOA does not explicitly post its agendas, but the above appears to be
the entire agenda for next week’s meeting.

Here are backgrounders on
Who is ZBOA?
and

On What Basis Does ZBOA Decide?

The Council of Hamlets meets tonight in Valdosta!



The Valdosta City Council regular meeting is tonight.
You remember them, the council

that may or may not be able to say whether or not they can or cannot
speak during, at the end of, or after their council meetings.
Tonight they appoint people to boards that decide who can put up how big a sign, and that spend millions in your tax money.



I want to see if Mayor Fretti will keep to his word to
expand the Wiregrass Solar plant.

Also, maybe now this city council can do what Gretna, Florida, did:

put out a proclamation saying there will be no biomass plant.
Or they could sit on their hands some more and wait until
some Sonny finds a way to do it anyway.



They have lots of other stuff on their
agenda
for tonight, including an appointment to the

Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBOA),
and an appointment to the
Valdosta-Lowndes County Parks & Recreation Authority.


ZBOA decides on variances to Valdosta’s LDR and Lowndes County’s ULDC,
including sign variances, much to the annoyance of
some local entitled rich people and of
McDonald’s.




Parks & Rec receives 1.5 mil of tax money, about $4.5 million dollars a year,
more than the

Valdosta-Lowndes County Industrial Authority (VLCIA).
Parks and Rec board members get to spend that tax money that you pay.
