This item concerns a variance request for a property located in the City of Destin, Okaloosa. The applicant seeks a variance to allow for convenient entry into the front of a building and access, stating it is the minimum needed for reasonable use. City staff findings suggest the land could be used reasonably without a variance, but acknowledge that required setbacks might limit building size, drive-through space, and emergency access, as noted by the Fire Control District. This matter is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project could involve site preparation, construction of building access, and potentially drive-through facilities. Contractors specializing in site work, concrete, general building, and potentially specialized services for drive-throughs may find opportunities. Engaging early could provide an advantage before final site plans and permits are established.
