Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

This item concerns a special exception request for a property located in Highlands County. The applicant is seeking approval to keep an existing structure housing hens that does not meet required setback distances from property lines. The structure is currently 12 feet 2 inches into the side yard setback and 8 feet 10 inches into the rear yard setback. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this could involve minor site adjustments or modifications to ensure compliance with future regulations, though the item suggests minimal impact. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, and potentially minor construction or landscaping services may find opportunities if the exception is granted and any required modifications are needed. Early engagement with the applicant or relevant county departments could provide insight into potential future needs.
