A conservation subdivision is under review by the Board of County Commissioners in Sumter County. This project proposes to develop land with a maximum density of 1 dwelling unit per 3 acres, with homes meeting Florida Building Code standards and prohibiting manufactured homes. A significant portion, at least 50 percent of the total parcel, will be designated as permanent open space through agricultural and conservation easements. This open space can be used for passive recreation, environmental purposes, or agriculture, provided it meets specific erosion and water quality standards. The development area will have setbacks of 25 feet in the front and 15 feet on the sides and rear. This project is in the early stages of review, offering an opportunity for contractors and suppliers. Work could involve site preparation, grading, utility installation, road construction, home building, and landscaping. Early engagement is advised to connect with the project before final plans and permits are established.
