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

This item concerns a request for a variance at 130 E A Smith Ave in Lake Placid, a 0.11-acre parcel. The applicant, Michael and Leonard Callahan, represented by Dewberry Engineers, seeks to build a 19.5-foot front yard setback, which is 5.5 feet less than the required 25 feet. This variance is needed to replace a damaged dwelling on the property. The request is currently under review by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve demolition of the existing damaged dwelling and construction of a new one, including site preparation, utility connections, foundation work, framing, roofing, and interior and exterior finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in potential work should engage early, as plans and permits are not yet finalized, offering an advantage in securing future project opportunities.
