   1. Modern Day - Single Family Residence - Waiver Request to Connection Requirements Parcel #: 8006-0592-01 # WaiverSTA-000932-2026 Modern Day Construction Services, Inc. LDC 6.14.2.B(1)(a) Connection requirements CODE states New development in the Urban or Rural area shall connect to a centralized water system with available capacity if a water line is within a connection distance of 400 feet times the total number of Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs) APPLICANT requests a waiver from the requirements of Marion County Land Development Code Section 6.14.2 requiring connection to the public water system. The subject property is proposed for a single-family residential dwelling. Marion County Utilities has indicated that compliance would require the extension of approximately 250 linear feet of water main at an estimated cost of $25,000, in addition to meter and connection fees. Due to the significant cost associated with extending the public water main to serve a single-family residence, the applicant respectfully requests approval to utilize a private potable well as the primary water source for the property in lieu of extending the public water system. The proposed well will be permitted and installed in accordance with all applicable Marion County, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and Water Management District requirements. The requested waiver will allow reasonable development of the property while maintaining compliance with all applicable health and safety standards.The local government body reviewing the waiver request.

   1. SECO Belleview Substation - Major Site Plan - 000232 - Waiver to Major Site Plan in Review Parcel #: 4217-223-000 # WaiverPIR-000913-2026 SECO Energy, Inc. LDC 6.12.12. - Sidewalks CODE States: A. Sidewalks shall be provided in the Urban Area, Rural Activity Centers, and Specialized Commerce Districts along arterial, collector, and major local streets where these streets adjoin the project and minimally along one side of the internal streets. Sidewalks shall be constructed with all-weather surfaces and shall meet Americans with Disabilities Act, Florida Building Code, and FDOT Design Standards. B. Sidewalks outside the right-of-way and independent of the street system are encouraged as an alternative to sidewalks parallel to a roadway, provided equivalent pedestrian needs are met. C. The sidewalk system shall provide connectivity between existing and proposed developments. D. At the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board. APPLICANT - SECO respectfully requests approval of the waiver from the sidewalk requirement of LDC 6.12.12, which has received staff support, based on the following statutory and project-specific considerations. SECO requests non-application of Section 6.12.12 of the Marion County Land Development Regulations, as the requirement is not applicable to the proposed electric substation use, which is governed by Florida Statute §163.3208. Pursuant to §163.3208: • §163.3208(3) states: “Local governments may adopt and enforce reasonable land development regulations for new and existing electric substations, addressing only setback, landscaping, buffering, screening, lighting, and other aesthetic compatibility-based standards.” §163.3208(6)(b) states: “A local government’s review of an application for the placement or construction of a new electric substation or for changes to an existing electric substation shall only address land development, zoning, or aesthetic compatibility-based issues.” The sidewalk requirement under Section 6.12.12 constitutes transportation infrastructure rather than an aesthetic or compatibility-based standard identified in §163.3208(3). As such, it falls outside the scope of permissible local regulation applicable to electric substations and should therefore not be applied to this project. In addition, the proposed substation is an unmanned and secured utility facility that is not intended for public access or pedestrian activity. The installation of sidewalks adjacent to high-voltage electrical infrastructure does not support the operational nature of the facility and may encourage unnecessary pedestrian proximity to utility infrastructure, which is inconsistent with accepted safety practices. Accordingly, due to the nature of substation operations and in the interest of enhancing public safety, discouraging pedestrian activity immediately adjacent to the facility is appropriate. Based on the foregoing, SECO respectfully maintains that the governing state statute preempts local requirements extending beyond the limited criteria applicable to electric substations. Therefore, Section 6.12.12 should not be applied to this project, and approval of the requested waiver is respectfully requested.The local government body reviewing the site plan and sidewalk waiver request.
   2. Sunstop #360 Ocala - Major Site Plan - 00296 - Waiver to Major Site Plan in Review Parcel #: 24261-000-10 #WaiverPIR-000923-2026 Mastroserio Engineering, Inc. LDC 6.12.11 Turn lanes CODE states Turn lanes shall be required as warranted by the project's Traffic Impact Analysis and in accordance with FDOT or as approved by the County Engineer. In addition, turn lanes shall be considered any time an unsafe condition exists or will be created. The cost of construction of such lanes shall be the responsibility of the developer. Additional right-of-way may be required and shall be dedicated by the developer and shown on the Improvement Plans and Final Plat. Any off-site improvement designs shall be submitted as an Improvement Plan application. APPLICANT - Although the warrant threshold is met, the Applicant respectfully requests a waiver from constructing the right-turn lane at this time based on the following conditions: 1. Planned County Roadway Improvements Marion County has programmed the widening of NE 35th Street in the near future. The County’s planned improvements will reconstruct the roadway section, including turn lanes, drainage, and access management features along this corridor. 2. Redundancy and Inefficient Use of Resources Construction of a standalone right-turn lane by the Applicant would be temporary and would be removed or reconstructed as part of the County’s widening project. This would result in unnecessary expenditure and redundant construction that provides no long-term benefit to the County or the traveling public. 3. No Operational Deficiency in the Interim. The TIA indicates that the project’s traffic can be safely and efficiently accommodated on the existing roadway network until the County’s widening project is implemented. The absence of a dedicated right-turn lane does not create a safety or operational deficiency in the interim condition. 4. Consistency With County Capital Planning Deferring construction of the right-turn lane aligns the project with the County’s planned capital improvements and avoids constructing infrastructure that will be modified or replaced in the near term. For these reasons, the Applicant requests approval of a waiver from LDC §6.12.11 to defer construction of the warranted right-turn lane on NE 35th Street. The Applicant remains committed to coordinating with Marion County during the future widening project to ensure access design remains consistent with County standards. The client is willing to execute an agreement to protect the county’s interests and will compensate the county for the cost of the right turn lane. The cost to be determined and agreed upon by both parties, if the waiver is approved. LDC 6.12.12.D - Sidewalks CODE states At the discretion of the Development Review Committee, in lieu of construction along external streets, the developer may pay a sidewalk fee to the County in an amount necessary to complete construction. This amount shall be determined by the project engineer and approved by the County with payment required prior to final plan approval. The County may use these funds toward the construction of sidewalks throughout the County based on priorities established by the Board. APPLICANT requests a waiver from LDC §6.12.12 to allow payment of the calculated $13,824.00 into the Marion County Sidewalk Fund in lieu of constructing sidewalks along NE 35th Street and NE 25th Avenue, as isolated frontage segments would not provide meaningful pedestrian connectivity, and the in-lieu contribution allows the County to apply the funds where they will deliver greater network benefit. LDC 6.8.6.K(3) Buffers CODE states C-Type buffer shall consist of a 15-foot wide landscape strip without a buffer wall. The buffer shall contain at least two shade trees and three accent/ornamental trees for every 100 lineal feet or fractional part thereof. Shrubs and groundcovers, excluding turfgrass, shall comprise at least 50 percent of the required buffer and form a layered landscape screen with a minimum height of three feet achieved within one year. APPLICANT - requests a waiver from LDC 6.8.6 to allow construction of limited impervious area within portions of the required Type C Buffer along the east boundary. This area directly abuts a heavily wooded County DRA that already provides substantial visual screening and functional separation, ensuring the intent of the buffer is maintained. In locations where the buffer width is reduced, the Applicant will provide additional landscape screening to preserve the overall effectiveness of the Type C Buffer. LDC 6.8.8. Building landscaping CODE states A. Landscape plantings shall be provided along the public view sides of all proposed structures to reduce the monotony of large blank walls, reduce heat gain and glare, and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the building. B. Landscape areas shall be provided adjacent to or within 25 feet from the building walls and shall extend along 60 percent of the total length of the wall, excluding those areas required for access to the building. C. Landscape areas shall be a minimum of five feet wide allowing for a minimum distance of two feet from the façade to the innermost plants. D. Large trees shall not be located within 20 feet of a building. Accent/ornamental trees shall be located sufficiently to allow for healthy growth and to minimize the need for pruning. APPLICANT requests a waiver from LDC §6.8.8 to allow the required landscaping to be satisfied through enhanced screening within the Type C Bu􀆯er along NE 35th Street and NE 25th Avenue. The frontage buffers provide substantial opportunities for increased plantings and can achieve the same or greater visual mitigation and aesthetic effect as on-building landscaping. Enhancing the Type C Buffer along these corridors maintains the full intent of the Code while supporting a more cohesive and functional site design.
