2. Request

Board of Adjustments · 2026-07-22 · agenda_item

A variance request is under review by the Board of Adjustments for a property located in the City of Fort Myers. The applicant seeks to reduce the minimum side setback on the south side of the parcel from 10 feet to 5 feet to allow for the development of a pool. This variance is requested due to a hardship created by a 5-foot utility easement along the southern side of the property. The item is currently under review, with public notice provided to nearby property owners and the general public. If approved, this project would involve site preparation for a pool, including excavation and potentially minor landscaping. Contractors specializing in pool construction, concrete work, and landscaping could find opportunities if the variance is granted. Early engagement may be beneficial as the project is in its initial review stages.
