This property is located in the Osteen Joint Planning Area (JPA). The County has approved the excavation on the neighboring property owned by Susan McCaskill. There is a condition put forth by the County that the City must approve the BPUD before the McCaskill property can be excavated. Approximately 1.2 million cubic yards of fill will be removed from both the Pell and McCaskill properties. The site use will have a life span of five (5) years and then the site will be reclaimed. Afterwards the area will not be available for urban or suburban uses. An estimated 400 heavy truck trips a day will enter and exit from this site. Discussion occurred regarding access, hours of operation, and traffic flow.
