Commission approves rezoning of 116‑acre Ronnie Walker Road parcel to light industrial despite neighbor concerns
Summary
The board unanimously rezoned 116.19 acres at 1560 Ronnie Walker Road from agricultural to Warehouse‑Light Industrial for modular building refurbishing and storage; one nearby resident spoke in opposition citing local water issues from a flat pond.
The Coffee County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 7 approved a rezoning request by Billy Raulerson to rezone 116.19 acres at 1560 Ronnie Walker Road, Nicholls, from AG (Agriculture) to W‑LI (Warehouse‑Light Industrial). The stated purpose was to refurbish and store modular buildings.
Planner/presenter Jason Whiddon opened the public hearing. Wiley Caves, of Brooks Road (property address listed in the record as 1845 Ronnie Walker Road), spoke in opposition, saying local water issues from a flat pond would be aggravated by the proposed use. Dale Global (3107 Old Axson Road) spoke to the proposed business setup. After public comment closed, Chairman Jimmy Kitchens moved to approve the rezoning; Vice Chairman Johnny Wayne Jowers seconded the motion and the board approved it unanimously.
The minutes record the public opposition but do not include a staff response on water impacts or mitigation measures within the meeting record. The rezoning passed by a unanimous vote of the four commissioners present; Commissioner Oscar Paulk was absent.
