Additionally, Richland is proposing a 100-foot landscape buffer from No. 2 road that includes existing trees, new landscaping and a fence to address concerns from the residents already residing in the area.</p> <p>Concerns about traffic on No. 2 Road from nearby residents prompted the developer to move the proposed neighborhood’s access point off of that road to an access point through the proposed <a href="https://www.growthspotter.com/2022/01/04/leesburg-council-approves-1088-acre-annexation-over-objections-from-lake-commissioners/">1,088-acre Whispering Hills</a> master-planned community on the former Journey Circle M Ranch.

That is a request that of course is going to put the onus on the developer that we are going to build if we go ahead of Whispering Hills and their project, or we would tie in through a boulevard access point on our property to the already-contemplated access points through Whispering Hills.”</p> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit='growthspotter.com/business/real-estate/cube_article' data-targeting=''></div> </div> <figure id="attachment_86318" class="wp-caption alignnone size-article_inline"><img decoding="async" class=" lazyautosizes lazyload" src="https://i0.wp.com/www.growthspotter.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/TGS-L-silver-springs-richland.jpg?fit=620%2C9999px&ssl=1" alt="The 145-foot estate lots in Silver Springs would be located along Number 2 Road.
