2. BOA 2004 Application
A special exception is under review for a sand mine operation on approximately 243.97 acres across three parcels in Venus, Florida. The property owners, Hicoria I LLC and Hicoria II LLC, are requesting to extract natural materials. The proposed mining area covers about 170 acres, with an additional 10 to 15 acres for support facilities. Mining would use a closed-loop dredging system, meaning water is recirculated on-site. This project is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment, with a staff recommendation to deny. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, excavation, and potentially extensive water management systems. Future phases could include reclamation creating a large water feature, with potential for future low-density residential or recreational development. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant and engineering firm early, before final site plans and permits are established, to explore potential opportunities in site clearing, grading, heavy equipment operation, material supply, and environmental services.

2. Soils: The soils underlying the sites are Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land
This item concerns the soil conditions for a planned development in Highlands County. The soils identified are Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land Complex, Basinger Fine Sand, and Hontoon Muck. The Satellite-Basinger-Urban Land Complex has very low water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table 12 to 42 inches deep. Basinger Fine Sand also has very low water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table near the surface during the rainy season. Hontoon Muck has very high water capacity and very rapid permeability, with a water table over 80 inches deep, but presents severe limitations for urban use due to its high water table and low bearing strength, requiring major reclamation for development. This item is currently under review by the Planning & Zoning Commission. The project will likely involve extensive site preparation, including clearing, grading, and significant soil reclamation and management, followed by underground utility work, foundation construction, and final building and landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, heavy civil work, and potentially specialized soil remediation services could find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement is advised before detailed site plans and permits are finalized.
