1. 1248 Verde Pines Court – Thomas Property Variance; Project No. VR -26-05 (Planner

Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns a variance request for a property located at 1248 Verde Pines Court. The applicant is seeking approval for a variance, but city staff has recommended denial because the request does not meet the required criteria. The proposed project involves the installation of a pickleball court in the rear yard, which is currently occupied by a screened-in pool. Neighbors have raised concerns about potential drainage, erosion, and noise. The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended denial of the variance to the City Commission. This matter is currently under review at the local government level. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for the court, potentially including grading and surface installation, as well as fencing. Contractors specializing in site preparation, concrete, fencing, and recreational facilities could find opportunities if this variance is eventually approved. Early engagement with the city and applicant could provide insight into potential future needs.
