\r\nHere is the almost-completed Lowndes County Character Area Map\r\nfor tomorrow’s\r\n\r\nPublic Hearing to Review and Transmit the 2021 Comprehensive Plan Update<\/a>.\r\nIt does not look like the Character Areas have changed much.\r\n

\r\nStill, if you care, be there.\r\n

\r\nThanks to Elizabeth Backe of SGRC, who wrote this morning:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe most recent version of the comp plan update is located on our website\r\n\r\nhere<\/a>, however there is one additional update that our web team has not yet uploaded. This item is for each of the work programs and it is the completion of an electric vehicle report. I anticipate them uploading this today. The Character Area map is located in the Appendix of the plan. \r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nMore specifically, this<\/a>\r\nis the draft I picked up from that SGRC web page.\r\n

\r\nThat entire plan is now on the LAKE website, with images of each page:\r\n
\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.l-a-k-e.org\/govt\/loco\/2021-10-26–public-hearing-comprehensive-plan<\/a>\r\n

\r\nThis is the map from page 128:\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nIt does look quite similar to the 2016 map:\r\n

\r\nIn particular, the Suburban Character Area does not<\/em> appear to have been moved northwards.\r\n

\r\nBoth maps are missing the road and utilities overlays from the map in\r\nthe September 28th presentation slides.\r\n

\r\nThanks to Lowndes County Planner JD Dillard for the above map,\r\nwhich I got from him after the September 28 Public Hearing.\r\nIt has road paving and water and sewer lines overlaid on the\r\nmap that is on the county’s website<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nNotice that those water mains depicted do not include the one the Commissioners approved on\r\nOctober 21 to run down McMillan Road and across the Withlacoochee River.\r\n

\r\nStill missing is an updated table of acreages over time for each Character Area,\r\nsuch as was in the 2016 Update.\r\n

\r\nElizabeth Backe wrote about that:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nThe table is not required to be included \u2013 unless there is a strong desire to include it, we were planning to only place the items required by DCA in the plan. \r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nWell, that table sure would be useful as an indicator of how much did the county change the Character Areas.\r\n

Investigative reporting costs money, for open records requests, copying, web hosting, gasoline, and cameras, and with sufficient funds we can pay students to do further research.
