Real discussion! Video Playlist @ GLPC 2012-04-30

Here are videos of the entire 30 April 2012 Regular Session of the Greater Lowndes Planning Commission, which actually discusses cases when there are points to be clarified or positions to be debated. Here's the agenda.

GLPC had four cases to be decided 10 May 2012 by the Valdosta City Council:

• CU-2012-02 Iras Dubard, 207 Crawford Lane, Valdosta
  Recommended for on the second motion, with one vote against (John Page).
• VA-2012-06 James D. Cone, 1800 Cypress Street, Valdosta
  Applicant said he had a letter of clearance from the Army Corps of Engineers saying there are no jurisdictional wetlands on the property. He also said the flood plain which covers much of the property doesn't exist, even though the tax assessors map says it does. It's a church, Restoration Fellowship Church according to the tax assessors' database, which isn't permitted to do something I couldn't catch; maybe you can decipher what she said.
  Unanimous recommendation for the requested CC zoning.
• VA-2012-07 Fannie O'Neal, 106 Mills Lane, Valdosta
  Unanimous recommendation for.
• CU-2012-03 Fannie O'Neal, 106 Mills Lane, Valdosta
  Unanimous recommendation for.

And three cases to be decided 6 May 2012 by the Lowndes County Commission:

• REZ-2012-05 Gloria Dave, 4896 Bethany Drive, Hahira
  Needed to be rezoned to be put in her name after her husband died, because it is less than 5 acres. The requested R1 zoning might permit several houses and further subdivisions, but County Planner Jason Davenport said he thought such lots wouldn't have enough width without further rezoning (see the McNeal case in the same meeting). Unanimous recommendation for.
• REZ-2012-06 Ralph Hart, Whitewater Road & Clyattville Lake Park Road, Valdosta
  Nobody spoke for or against. Unanimous recommendation for.
• REZ-2012-07 McNeil Property, 6888 & 6870 McNeil Road, Hahira
  See the separate post about that case.
