LDC 6.8.6.K(5) - Buffers

CODE states E-Type buffer shall consist of a five-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least four shade trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs shall be planted in a double-staggered row and be capable of reaching a maintained height of six feet within three years. Groundcovers and/or turfgrass shall not be used in this buffer.

APPLICANT requests a waiver pursuant to the development conditions (#210805Z approved 8/17/2021) and the approved master plan (#27553 approved 12/19/22), a type ‘E’ buffer is required along the west boundary (along The Pines at Ocala Crossings South). Due to the comparable lots at Ocala Crossings (40’ wide lots) and Freedom 5 (50’ wide lots), the west buffer is not required per LDC between these compatible uses. Additionally, Ocala Crossings has installed a privacy fence along the existing lots between the two developments. This waiver request is to obtain confirmation the buffer is not required, and to allow subsequent master plans to show it as such.
