The City of Titusville Development Review Committee is reviewing a request to remove three heritage trees for a planned retail development. The applicant needs to remove two Live Oaks (72" and 52" DBH) and one Laurel Oak (46" DBH). The project site is located at the northeast corner of Cheney Highway and Hickory Hill Boulevard. The applicant states that site constraints, including a high seasonal groundwater table and the need for mass grading, conflict with preserving the trees' root systems. The project requires a 2:1 replacement for each removed tree. This review is early in the planning process, as the Development Review Committee is considering a waiver request related to tree removal. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, grading, utility work, construction of retail structures, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in site preparation, grading, concrete, utility work, building construction, and landscaping could find opportunities by engaging with the applicant or project manager early in the process, before final plans and bids are set.
