Update 2024-01-29<\/strong>:\r\nActually, Lowndes County did email the materials on Friday. Packet: Gresham Event Venue on Old Valdosta Road and Byrd Road individual residences @ GLPC 2024-01-29<\/a>.\r\n

\r\nLowndes County did not return the materials for the two Lowndes County items\r\nlisted in the agenda for Monday’s Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) meeting.\r\nI have asked them again, noting the 3 days allowed for a response to a Georgia Open Recorda Act (GORA) request have passed.\r\n

Collage, GLPC Packet 2024-01-29<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nValdosta and Hahira staff (led by Matt Martin) find all the requests for those\r\ntwo cities consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and recommends approval,\r\nexcept for one of the Hahira proposals.\r\n

\r\nAll three Hahira proposals are by Cre8ive Development Partners LLC,\r\nfor 26 acres on 5901 U.S. 41 North.\r\nThey are 8. to rezone, 9. to approve a planned development, and 10. to annex the property into the City of Hahira.\r\n

\r\nIt’s that middle item that staff recommends further steps for:\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\n

\r\n(1) Conduct the current public hearing to gather public input, then consider and discuss general aspects of\r\nthe proposed master plan and development features. Then render constructive feedback to the Applicant\r\nregarding any requested revisions to the development proposal that may be warranted.\r\n

\r\n(2) Then recommend TABLING of this Planned Development request for two (2) months to allow sufficient\r\ntime for revisions to the proposed master plan, re-review, and re-advertisement to take place before the\r\nfinal public hearings.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nThat is also the only item that has a letter of objection in the board packet,\r\nfrom Chris Connell.\r\n

\r\nFor a number of reasons, he recommends:\r\n

\r\n

\r\nI would ask the council to deny R6 component, approve R10, and ask proposed developers to come back\r\nwith a plan for single family homes only. This is more appropriate and in-line with this neighborhood and\r\nhelps protect against too many variables that could cause problems for the city and neighboring\r\nresidents.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\nWho is Cre8tive Development Partners, LLC?\r\nWell, the board packet has it mis-spelled.\r\nIt’s actually\r\nCre8ive Development Partners, LLC.\r\nAccording to the Georgia Secretary of State<\/a>,
\r\n“Registered Agent Name:\tCether Holdings, LLC
\r\nPhysical Address:\t5633 Barber Circle, Hahira, GA, 31632, USA.”\r\n

\r\nThe principal office address is 100 W. Main Street, Hahira GA 31632.\r\nThe Authorizer Signature is by Joseph Hewett.\r\n

\r\nAccording to the Georgia Secretary of State\r\n\r\nCether Holdings, LLC<\/a> is a Real Estate and Rental and Leasing company with Registered Agent Name Jode Hewett, 5633 Barber Circle, Hahira, GA, 31632, USA.\r\nThe organization filing for Cether Holdings was on February 20, 2023, signed by Jode Hewett.\r\n

\r\nThe three Hahira agenda item sheets say \r\n“Cre8tive[sic] Development Partners LLC, represented by Jode Hewett….”\r\nThe Letter of Intent for the rezoning request is signed by\r\nJoseph (Jode) Hewett, Managing Member, Cre8ive Development Partners, LLC.\r\n

\r\nThe only company I find located at 100 W. Main Street is Lost Creek Construction, Inc.<\/a>,\r\nwhich \r\naccording to the Georgia Secretary of State<\/a>\r\nhas Secretary Jeremy Holloway and CEO and CFO Stacey Holloway.\r\nStacey Holloway signed the Letters of Authorization for the three Hahira items.\r\nThe Planning Analysis & Property Information for the rezoning list the owner as\r\n“Lost Creek Construction, Inc. (Stacey Holloway)”.\r\n

\r\nHere is the \r\nagenda<\/a>.\r\nThe board packet, received in response to a LAKE open records request, is\r\n\r\non the LAKE website<\/a>.\r\nExcept for the Lowndes County items, which the county did not send.\r\n
