Melody Preserve - Standalone Waiver Request to Buffers

Development Review Committee · 2026-06-08 · agenda_item

This item concerns a request for a waiver related to buffer requirements for the Melody Preserve property. The applicant, Kimley-Horn and Associates, is seeking permission to use a fence instead of a landscape strip along the north property boundary. The proposed buffer would remain 20 feet wide, but the fence would replace the required vegetation. A similar waiver is requested for the Type 'A' buffer on the property line where a fence already exists on the adjacent storage facility's boundary. This matter is currently pending review by the Development Review Committee. If approved, the project would involve the installation of fencing and potentially related site work, though the primary focus is a waiver of landscaping rules. Contractors specializing in fencing, site preparation, and potentially landscaping services could find opportunities if this waiver is granted. Early engagement before final permits are issued may provide an advantage.
