A project is planned for the west half of Lot 3 and the east 22.5 feet of Lot 2 in Block 23 of Lincoln Park, located in Fort Myers. This project involves the construction of a dwelling on a site that currently has no structures or trees. The site is in an "X Flood Zone" with no extra fill requirements, but the finished floor elevation is suggested to be 6 to 12 inches above the crown of the road to prevent drainage issues. Site work will include driveway construction with 4-inch minimum concrete and welded wire mesh, and a 6-inch concrete apron at the street. Septic and optional pool design and installation are also part of the plan. The roof cover must meet the 2020 Florida Residential Building Code for high-velocity hurricane zones. This project is currently under review by the Board of Adjustments, City of Fort Myers. The scope of work will likely involve site clearing, grading, concrete and paving for the driveway and apron, underground utility work for septic systems, framing, roofing, and interior finish trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers, including general contractors, concrete and paving specialists, plumbers, roofers, electricians, HVAC technicians, landscapers, and material suppliers, are encouraged to reach out early. Engaging before final site plans, bids, and permits are settled offers the advantage of understanding project needs and potentially securing work.
