Public Notice for Public Hearing, Bradford Road subdivision 2025-09-18

Update 2025-09-15: Please deny subdividing on Bradford Road –WWALS to Berrien County, GA 2025-08-21.

As predicted, the reschedule date is Thursday, September 18, at 5:30 PM.

This is about plopping ten houses in the middle of an agriculture character area, with runoff and recharge issues that affect the neighbors, Gin Branch Creek, the Withlacoochee River, and groundwater down to the Floridan Aquifer. As well as all the usual issues of trespassing, poaching, pets, livestock, traffic, and road erosion.

Plus transparency and the Berrien Planning Commission should follow the Berrien County Code and Comprehensive Plan.

The farther out from existing services, the more a subdivision costs the county in calls on Sheriff Deputies, Fire Rescue, school buses and places at the schools. Property taxes on those houses would not pay for all that. The rest of Berrien County would have to pay the difference.
