Sandy Clay Residential Improvement Plan #000425 - Waiver to Improvement Plan in Review

Development Review Committee · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

The Sandy Clay Residential Improvement Plan, case number 2026-22991, is currently under review by the Marion County Development Review Committee. The applicant, Tillman & Associates Engineering, LLC, is seeking waivers related to subdivision road design and geotechnical criteria. Specifically, they are requesting to use hammerhead turnarounds instead of cul-de-sacs on dead-end roads and to use a survey from October 2022, with an updated section from February 2026, for topographic data. They also seek a waiver on the number of soil borings for dry retention areas 5 and 7, proposing one boring per acre instead of the standard one per half acre, citing consistent soil conditions and existing functioning ponds. This review stage means that site plans, bids, and permits are not yet finalized. The project would likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, road construction, and potentially stormwater management system installation. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete, paving, underground utilities, and civil engineering services could find opportunities by engaging early with the applicant or project engineers.
