<\/a> Housing, driveway width and possible change to the ULDC, conveyance to relatives, number of housing units, and other issues: the Planning Commission discussed all these and recommended a rezoning with a few conditions (limit of 2 houses). The County Commission zipped through making a decision.<\/p>\n

The first county case in the 27 February 2012 Greater Lowndes Planning Commission (GLPC) meeting<\/a> was\nREZ-2012-01 Whitehead\/Black, 218-82 & 82A, ~7.1 ac., 2 lots, E-A\/R-A to R-A, well\/septic. They spent more than 27 minutes (1:09 + 3:54 + 6:02 + 1:21 + 1:40 + 2:56 + 2:56 + 0:59 + 6:16)<\/a> on REZ-2012-01.<\/p>\n

Compare that to the <\/a> 5 minutes<\/a> in the 12 March 2012 Work Session<\/a> of the Lowndes County Commission and approximately 5 minutes<\/a> in the 13 March 2012 Regular Session<\/a> as the Lowndes County Commission approved the rezoning with the limitation on only 2 houses.<\/p>\n

Time isn’t everything, and staff did visit the site and clarify some points and Commissioners did ask a few questions in the Work Session, but the Planning Commission spent much more time examining this case.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video playlist<\/a> of REZ-2012-02 in all three meetings (GLPC, LCC Work Session, and LCC Regular Session):<\/p>\n
