Development Review Committee · 2026-08-03 · agenda_item

This notice concerns the Ocala Highlands Estates Final Plat, case number 2026-23902, located at Parcel ID 1471-024-003. The applicant, Majestic Homes FL, is seeking a waiver from specific landscape buffering requirements, specifically the five-foot wide E-Type buffer. This waiver is requested because the project is a small replat within an existing subdivision, and strict enforcement of the buffer would not match the surrounding area. Instead, the applicant plans to preserve healthy shade trees and existing vegetation where possible to maintain harmony with neighboring properties. This item is currently under review by the Development Review Committee. The project involves replatting an existing subdivision, which may lead to site clearing and grading, potential underground utility work, and landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and landscaping, as well as suppliers of trees and plants, could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or project staff early, before final plans and permits are set, offers the best chance to learn about potential needs.
