Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-07-15 · agenda_packet

[409 Stanley Drive; case BOA 2026-0002] The Board of Adjustment considered a variance request for a property located at 409 Stanley Drive, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034. The applicant, Eric Corbett, sought to subdivide a 100' x 203' lot into two parcels (100' x 100' and 100' x 103') to allow for the construction of two single-family homes. The property is zoned R-1 with a Future Land Use of Low Density Residential. Staff recommended approval, finding that all six criteria for granting a variance were met. The Board ultimately approved the variance request. Public comment included concerns about lot size, community character, drainage, stormwater, tree removal, public safety, and the interpretation of the Land Development Code. Some residents supported the applicant, citing his potential as a neighborhood asset, while others expressed opposition due to perceived self-created hardship and potential negative impacts.
