\r\nGentlemen,\r\n

\r\nI had no idea of the county anger with MFH LLC. I thought that it was a\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\ngood idea for the reasons stated. I was finally contacted by Balfour\r\nBeatty last Thursday and was told that they were NOT interested. So the\r\ndeal was dead anyway. I was very surprised by the attitude of some of\r\nthe attendees this evening and the realization that this was a BRAC\r\nissue with the USAF at the Washington level. I certainly was never told\r\nthat by the local base if I had I never would have bothered submitting\r\nthe rezoning application.\r\n

\r\nBalfour Beatty has played their hand very well. Having been awarded\r\nthe privatization two years ago and now state they MUST close before\r\nSeptember 30th or the USAF will lose the funding.\r\n

\r\nI hereby withdraw the rezoning application for the 123+ acre tract for\r\nMFHLLC>\r\n

\r\nThank You, and again I apologize for taking up your time,\r\n

\r\nRoger Sevigny\r\n

\r\nYes, this was case REZ-2013-08, located off of Roberts Road, Wilbanks Avenue, and Bemiss Road. The application was to rezone from MAZ-I to Residential Planned Development (PD). The request appeared before the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) on Monday, July 29th, and a recommendation of denial was rendered by that body.\r\n

\r\nThe minutes are being prepared by our office and will not be officially adopted until the GLPC’s next meeting, August 26th. At this time, we do not post the minutes of the GLPC meeting online. You may request a copy of these minutes via an Open Records Request through the County Clerk’s office (229 671 2400).\r\n

\r\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact our office for any additional questions\/comments.\r\n

\r\nMa’am,\r\n

\r\n\tThank you for the reply. I understand the Lowndes County TRC\r\nreviewed a proposal from Carabetta to build residential construction on a\r\nparcel they own adjacent to Moody AFB, and that the Planning Board\r\ndisapproved the zoning request. I was trying to find out what actually\r\noccurred.\r\n

\r\nGood morning Sir-\r\n

\r\nThank you for your inquiry. So that I may provide you with the information\r\nthat you are requesting, will you please be more specific with your request.\r\nThere are several different Boards that considers various zoning\r\napplications (i.e. Greater Lowndes Planning Commission, Lowndes County Board\r\nof Commissioners, Valdosta-Lowndes County Zoning Board of Appeals, etc.). \r\n

\r\nThank you.\r\n
