This item concerns proposed changes to engineering drainage calculations for decks and walkways in Citrus County. The Planning and Development Commission is reviewing a proposal to allow decks or walkways with up to a half-inch spacing between boards to be counted as pervious areas. This would require approval from the County Engineer, confirming satisfactory soil conditions beneath the structure, and the decks or walkways must remain uncovered. This proposal is currently under review. If approved, this could lead to future projects involving the construction of new decks and walkways, potentially requiring site preparation, grading, and the installation of these structures. Contractors specializing in site prep, grading, concrete, carpentry, and general construction may find opportunities. Reaching out to the County Engineer's office early could provide insight into the specific requirements and potential future projects.
