2. Request

Board of Adjustments · 2026-07-22 · agenda_item

This item concerns a request for variances to develop a single-family home on a small parcel. The applicant seeks to reduce the minimum side setback from 7 feet to 5 feet 2 inches, the minimum lot area from 5,000 square feet to approximately 3,760 square feet, and the minimum lot width from 50 feet to 37.6 feet. These variances are requested due to the parcel's small size, which was platted in 1913. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustments, City of Fort Myers, and will be heard on July 22, 2026. If approved, this project would involve site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, and the installation of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems for a single-family residence. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential work should engage early, as this is an early stage in the development process before detailed site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
