\r\nAll the items were for Valdosta, and the Planning Commissioners\r\nunanimously recommended approval of all of them, two of them with conditions.\r\n

\r\nSix special conditions accompany the recommendation for the Bemiss Road Yazmin Saucedo storage facility and the\r\n“event center called the \u201cEnchanted Hall\u201d that specializes in weddings, quincenaras, and family reunions, with an anticipated overall seating capacity of about 160 people,”.\r\n

\r\nSeveral people spoke against the Bemiss Road Freeman Investments rezoning\r\nfrom R-P to C-N.\r\nSeveral people explained to them that if this rezoning did not pass,\r\nthe owner could put up a three-story apartment building.\r\nThe unanimous recommendation for approval came with a condition of a 6-foot opaque wooden fence between this property and the three it backs up on.\r\n

\r\nNo conditions were recommended for the Southern Gateway Madison Highway rezoning and annexation south of the airport.\r\nI spoke to attorney Bill Nijem and Valdosta City Planner Matt Martin afterwards.\r\nThere is indeed a pond in the middle of the part of the property south of Race Track Road SE.\r\nIt’s not clear what will happen to it; it may be used as a detention pond.\r\nThe eventual development of the property is as yet undecided.\r\nIt’s also between the Withlacoochee and Alapaha River watersheds,\r\nand not well-connected to creeks, so probably not a problem.\r\n

\r\nBelow are links to each LAKE video of each agenda item, with a few notes by John S. Quarterman,\r\nfollowed by a LAKE video playlist.\r\n

\r\nSee also\r\n\r\n the agenda and the\r\nboard packet<\/a>, received in response to a LAKE open records request.\r\nThanks to Valdosta City Planner Matt Martin for sending the Valdosta packet materials in response to a LAKE open records request,\r\nand to Lowndes County for sending the previous Planning Commission meeting draft minutes.\r\n
