Planning Board · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

This item concerns a planned landscape buffer along the Fort Myers Drainage District right-of-way on Southern Garden Street. The plan calls for plant spacing to create a sight-proof buffer, using details from a March 5, 2007 landscape plan by Barbot, Steuart and Associates, Inc. Existing mature scrub palms and oaks on the western half of the right-of-way will be incorporated into the design. This project is listed as completed, indicating that related work may have already occurred or is in its final stages. The scope of work would involve site clearing and grading for new plantings, installation of specified plants, and potentially the preservation or removal of existing vegetation. Landscaping contractors, nursery suppliers, and site preparation services could be involved in this project. Early engagement with project managers or city planning staff could provide insights into any remaining or future phases.
