This item concerns a request for a variance to reduce landscape buffers along roadways for a property located in DeLand. The property currently has a constructed parking lot but no building. The variance would allow for a reduction in landscape buffering, which is not permitted through administrative options for redevelopment. The applicant must still provide a full 20-foot landscape buffer, including trees and an opaque fence, next to any single-family residential property. This matter is currently under review by the Planning Board. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, installation of landscape buffers, and potentially fencing. Contractors specializing in site preparation, landscaping, and fencing may find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Engaging early could provide an advantage before final plans and permits are issued.
