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

This item concerns a variance request for a property located in Highlands County. The applicant is seeking relief from current setback requirements for a corner lot. These requirements, if strictly applied, would prevent the enclosure of an existing screen room. The applicant argues that other similar interior lots in the same zoning district can make typical residential improvements in their rear yards without such limitations. This variance request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve work related to modifying or enclosing the existing screen room, potentially including construction, finishing, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential work should reach out to the applicant or their representatives early in the process, before final plans and permits are established, to understand the project scope and timing.
