This item concerns a variance request for a property located in the City of Destin, Okaloosa. The applicant, Mr. Hernandez, is seeking to increase the number of parking spaces from 13 to 23. This increase is intended to meet the expected operational needs of the site and allow for reasonable use of the property. The request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this project would involve site preparation for new parking, including potential grading and paving. It may also require underground utility work for lighting or drainage. The opportunity lies with contractors, suppliers, and service providers who can support parking lot construction. Reaching out early, before final site plans and permits are issued, could provide a competitive advantage.
