8. Fire Support Letter

Board of Adjustment · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

A variance request is under review for a property located at 3500 Emerald Coast Parkway in Destin. The owner, First Security Bank, with ECAE, LLC as the agent, proposes to demolish an existing two-story office building and its parking lot. They plan to rebuild the structure as a bank with an attached drive-thru service area. The variance is needed from the 20-foot maximum front setback from Crystal Beach Drive to allow for necessary circulation around the building, including for fire access and the drive-thru. This project is currently under review by the City of Destin Planning Division. If approved, the project would involve demolition, site clearing, grading, underground utility work, concrete and paving for the drive-thru and parking, building construction including framing, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, and final landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to reach out early to learn more about potential opportunities as plans develop.
