Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-06-09 · agenda_item

This item concerns a property at 153 E A Smith Ave in Lake Placid, which is about 0.11 acres. The applicant, Yshetta Holden, represented by Sarah Maier of Dewberry Engineers, is asking for a variance. They want to build a replacement dwelling with a corner setback of 12.75 feet, which is 2.25 feet less than the required 15 feet. This request is currently under review by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve replacing a damaged dwelling. This could include site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, and the installation of electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, followed by finishing trades and landscaping. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to the applicant or their representative early, before final plans and permits are set, to understand potential opportunities for this replacement dwelling project.
