Board of Adjustments Meeting · 2026-05-27 · agenda_packet

The Board of Adjustment is considering a variance request for a proposed single-family residence at 5241 Loggerhead Place. The applicants, Karl and Margaret Ticknor, seek to encroach into the front yard setback by 9.6 feet (resulting in a 0.4 ft. setback) and into the side yard separation from a common area by up to 1.3 feet (resulting in a 3.7 ft. separation). The property is located in the HIRD (Hutchinson Island Residential District) zoning district. Staff recommends approval of the variance, with a condition regarding the design of an entry staircase. The Environmental Resources Department has no objection. The property is a small lot, approximately 0.047 acres or 2,034 sq. ft., and the unique lot shape, street configuration, and presence of mangroves contribute to the hardship claim. The proposed home is approximately 891 sq. ft.
