Crystal River, FL 34428

Fill Volume – 10.36 Acres
Using 1 acre = 43,560 sq ft and 27 cubic ft per cubic yard, the engineering memo already rounded the numbers for you:
0.5 ft average lift
 ? ˜ 8,400 CY of fill (document value)
1.5 ft average lift
 ? ˜ 25,200 CY of fill (document value)
So the planning range for this 10.36 acres is:
˜ 8,000 – 25,000 cubic yards of fill

Earth Work Summary
Based Fill & Cost for 10.36 Acres

Scenario A – Low Case
0.5 ft average lift, 50% of fill from on-site cut
Gross fill needed: ˜ 8,400 CY
On-site cut used: ˜ 4,200 CY
Net imported fill: ˜ 4,200 CY
Import cost (4,200 CY @ $20–$30/CY):
Low: 4,200 × 20 = $84,000
High: 4,200 × 30 = $126,000
On-site cut handling (4,200 CY @ $6–$10/CY):
Low: 4,200 × 6 = $25,200
High: 4,200 × 10 = $42,000
Total earthwork range – Scenario A: ˜ $110,000 – $170,000

Scenario B – Mid Case
1.0 ft average lift, 40% from on-site cut, 60% imported
Gross fill for 1.0 ft: ˜ 16,700 CY
On-site cut (40%): ˜ 6,700 CY
Net imported fill: ˜ 10,000 CY (rounded)
Import cost (10,000 CY @ $20–$30/CY):
Low: 10,000 × 20 = $200,000
High: 10,000 × 30 = $300,000
On-site cut handling (6,700 CY @ $6–$10/CY):
Low: 6,700 × 6 = $40,200
High: 6,700 × 10 = $67,000
Total earthwork range – Scenario B: ˜ $240,000 – $367,000


Scenario C – High Case
1.5 ft average lift, assume worst case = no usable on-site cut
 (e.g., pond location constrained, geotech issues, or design decision to import)
Gross fill for 1.5 ft: ˜ 25,200 CY
On-site cut used: 0 CY
Net imported fill: 25,200 CY
Import cost (25,200 CY @ $20–$30/CY):
Low: 25,200 × 20 = $504,000
High: 25,200 × 30 = $756,000
Total earthwork range – Scenario C:˜ $500,000 – $760,000

Because this interior land is largely behind the US-19 frontage elevation, grading is driven more by:
-Internal road layout
-Building pad design
-Stormwater pond configuration and then by FDOT frontage tie-in.

Summary of Earth Work Analysis: The 10.36-acre interior PSO tract offers a highly developable, cost-efficient opportunity for medical, office, senior living, or multifamily campus development, with grading requirements far lower than typical Florida sites. Engineering analysis shows the tract needs only 8,000–25,000 CY of total fill, much of which can be offset through on-site stormwater pond excavation, keeping imported fill to a minimal 4,000–15,000 CY in most scenarios. This places projected earthwork costs in a very attractive $200K–$400K range, significantly strengthening project feasibility and lowering front-end investment risk. With gentle topography, manageable AE flood strips concentrated along the existing drainage corridor, and clean development envelopes for building pads and internal roads, this tract delivers a ready-to-build canvas perfectly aligned for high-demand uses driven by the region’s booming medical and residential growth. Developers seeking a scalable site with strong economics and straightforward entitlements will find this 10.36-acre tract exceptionally well-positioned for immediate planning and vertical development.

Citrus County: A Market Poised for Growth
Citrus County, currently home to 153,600 residents, is on track for exponential growth, with the population projected to reach 350,000 by 2030 under the County’s Land Development Code. As part of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)—the 18th largest MSA in the United States—Citrus County continues to attract both businesses and residents. Lecanto and its surrounding areas have benefited from recent revitalization efforts, including community investments such as the Liberty Park and Depot District in Inverness. The recently completed $135 million expansion of the Suncoast Parkway and its planned extensions will further enhance connectivity, fostering additional economic growth. Within a 15-minute drive, the property serves a substantial customer base of 46,361 residents, with an average age of 58 and a median household income of $65,000. This demographic ensures a solid foundation for businesses seeking to establish or expand in a thriving and dynamic market.
This meticulously maintained retail and service plaza presents an unparalleled opportunity for businesses to thrive in a high-traffic, high-visibility location, surrounded by a strong customer base and an array of complementary national retailers.

Logistic Details: 
-County Road 486 runs entirely along West Norvell Bryant Highway. It runs West to East from SR 44 east of Crystal River into US-41 in Hernando, just south of the southern terminus of SR 200. The route was once the former SR 486. County Road 486 spans 4 lanes, is almost entirely a divided highway, and is flanked by a parallel bicycle path on the south side.  
-County Road 491 is Lecanto Highway, a bi-county South to North road that begins at the Hernando-Citrus County Line in Oak Grove near the Withlacoochee State Forest and ends at SR 200 in Stoke's Ferry, just south of the intersection with the northern segment of CR 39. It was formerly designated as SR 491.  
-County Road 44 (often marked as County Road 44W) exists as the western tip of old Florida State Road 44, south of "Downtown" Crystal River. The suffix "W" was most likely added to not confuse this section with State Road 44, to the north, and to show its location by being west of US 19 and US 98(SR 55).   As with the majority of these types of 'coastal spur' routes, in West Central Florida, it is county-maintained.  
-U.S. Route 19 (US-19) runs 264 miles (425 km) along Florida's West Coast from an interchange with U.S. Route 41 in Memphis, Florida, south of Tampa, and continues to the Georgia border north of Monticello, Florida. Newly 6 lane Highway was constructed from the Hernando County line to Fort Island Trail and US 19 in Crystal River, Florida. 

Suncoast Parkway: 
The Suncoast Parkway recently opened was a $135 Million Dollar expansion that extends 13 miles north from US-98 to SR 44 which features 15 new bridges, electronic tolling gantries, and the extension of The Suncoast Trail part of the Florida's Statewide Greenways and Trail System. The Suncoast Parkway is just 68 Miles 1 hour and 15 mins from Tampa making it a great commuting Highway for the workforce seeking to be outside of the Tampa traffic. The Veterans Expressway and Suncoast Parkway is a north–south toll road near the Florida Gulf Coast. Maintained and operated by Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, this 68-mile transportation corridor extends from State Road 60 in Tampa, north to State Road 44 near Lecanto.
