Southern Sanitation's Rezoning Bid Denied
The Walton County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday evening, with LaFayette Ridge neighbors John & Relma present to give us a report on the hotly-contested zoning bid by Southern Sanitation. According to John, the debate included several good presentations, but the best was in the form of a motion by Chuck Bagley. When Chuck finished the council voted unanimously (6-0) against Southern Sanitation.
Thanks to John and Relma for the update. Update: Rumor is that while this was voted down, the Walton County Board of Commissioners voted to allow a half-way house to be housed in the former Horizon Software building on GA 20 near Rosebud Road. More on this to come. . .

LaFayette Ladies
The LaFayette Ladies and friends recently traveled to the High Museum of Art downtown to enjoy an afternoon of art and fellowship together. The ladies took in the Picasso to Warhol exhibit, among other notable collections. The exhibit ends on April 29th, but there's still time to enjoy this collection. It is the first time ever that this collection has come to the Southeast. It is definitely worth the trip.If you are interested in joining the ladies of LaFayette Ridge for another outing - such as lunch or a trip downtown, please let us know. It is something we'd like to attempt on a quarterly basis.

Police Visit LaFayette Ridge Saturday Night
A deputy from the Walton County Sheriff's Department visited LaFayette Ridge on Saturday night after four young men entered the neighborhood and attempted to approach a home after dark while wearing backpacks and carrying flash lights.
The Owens'/Myers' saw the boys (described as being between ages 17-20) park in the cul-de-sac on LaFayette Place, exit the vehicle with their flashlights on and attempt to cut through their yard headed toward LaFayette Court. When they were confronted, they said they lived in "that house," pointing in the direction of the Whaley's house. They were told they needed to leave. The boys got back into the car and drove through the rest of the neighborhood before leaving. Shortly thereafter, the Walton County Sheriff's Deputy showed up, shining a flood light in various yards, presumably looking for the boys.
This week is Spring Break for Walton County Schools. We have some neighbors out of town. Please keep an eye out for our neighbors and our neighborhood.
More to come. . .
UPDATE: The boys have been identified. One of them is indeed a LaFayette Ridge teenager. His parents were out of town and he was attempting to bring his friends over without their permission. The police were called after the boys left LaFayette Ridge and parked in Barington. They crossed Johnson Road and cut through the woods to access the home. Someone saw them and called the police. Everyone and everything is okay.
