Hearing Examiner Meeting · 2026-05-14 · agenda_item

A variance is being reviewed for a property located at 423 West St. in Naples, Florida. The property currently has a single-family residence, guest house, tennis court, and swimming pool, built between 1972 and 1980. The applicant seeks variances to allow the construction of an enclosure for the existing swimming pool. A literal reading of the Collier County Land Development Code's 40% building envelope limit for accessory buildings would prevent this pool enclosure. The applicant argues this would cause hardship and prevent protection from weather and pests. This item is currently under review by the Hearing Examiner. If approved, the project would involve site preparation for the pool enclosure, followed by construction trades for framing, roofing, and potentially plumbing or electrical work related to the pool. Contractors specializing in pool enclosures, general contracting, and related trades may find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant or Collier County staff early could provide insight into the project's progression before formal bids are sought.
