A zoning change is under review for a property located in the Upper Pithlachascotee Watershed. The site is mostly uplands, with some perimeter wetlands, and is primarily within FEMA Zone X (minimal flood risk). Proposed improvements will be designed to meet or exceed county and water management district flood elevation standards. The project will require comprehensive stormwater and construction plan reviews. This review process is early in the planning stages. The project will likely involve site clearing, grading, and extensive stormwater management systems. It will also include the construction of streets and homes, followed by utility work and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers can gain an advantage by engaging early, before site plans, bids, and permits are finalized. This early engagement allows businesses to understand project needs and prepare for potential work.
