4. Strict interpretation and enforcement of the code would deprive the applicant of rights

This item concerns a request for a variance from setback requirements for a property located at 11 North Third Street in Jacksonville Beach. The applicant seeks to place a shed addition that would not meet current code. Staff analysis suggests that strict enforcement of the code would create hardship for the applicant, as it would make placing the shed impractical due to the existing home's layout and yard size. The age and construction of the home make relocating or redesigning the proposed shed infeasible. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for the shed addition, followed by its construction. Contractors specializing in concrete, carpentry, roofing, painting, and general construction may find opportunities. Early engagement with the applicant could be beneficial before final plans and permits are established.
