The Villages of Pasadena Hills Planning and Policy Committee is reviewing a condition for a developer related to the Handcart Road Extension. The developer must provide right-of-way for the road extension at no cost to Pasco County. Additionally, the developer is responsible for designing, constructing, and obtaining all necessary permits for drainage, wetland, and floodplain mitigation facilities. These facilities will address impacts from the Handcart Road improvements, which include initial and future lanes, shoulders, frontage roads, sidewalks, multimodal paths, medians, and slope easements. The specific requirements for mitigation will be determined during the stormwater management plan review. This condition sets the stage for significant site preparation, grading, and utility work, followed by road construction and landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, drainage, utility work, paving, and landscaping may find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Engaging early before final plans and permits are issued could provide a competitive advantage.
