First Security Bank is requesting a variance for their property at 35000 Emerald Coast Parkway. The project seeks to allow a drive-thru service area for the bank, which requires relief from the current rule limiting front setbacks to twenty feet. This variance request is currently under review by the City of Destin's Planning Division. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, construction of the drive-thru, and potentially enclosure of mechanical equipment with fencing or screening. Contractors specializing in site work, concrete, general construction, and potentially fencing or landscaping could find opportunities as this project moves through the review process. Engaging early before final plans and permits are issued may provide a competitive advantage.
