4. SOIL DATA

Development Review Committee Meeting · 2026-05-13 · agenda_item

This item concerns soil data for a site located in the City of Apopka, Orange County. The soils are described as very deep, well-drained, sandy soils on ridges, sometimes containing charcoal fragments. Due to the high sand content, the site has a significant potential for erosion. This means strict erosion and sediment control practices will be required for any future development. The item is currently under review by the Development Review Committee. This review stage suggests that planning for site preparation, including necessary erosion control measures, is an early consideration. Work could involve site clearing, grading, and the implementation of specialized erosion and sediment control systems. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and environmental controls, as well as suppliers of related materials, may find opportunities. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand project needs before formal bidding begins.
