Board of Adjustment Regular Meeting · 2026-04-14 · agenda_item

This item concerns a property located in the Lake Grassy Homesites Subdivision that is under review by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment. The property, platted in 1958, does not meet current road frontage rules for the M-1-S district but is a legal nonconforming lot. It has a total area of about 5,077 square feet with an average width of 41 feet, and a buildable area of approximately 1,417 square feet after accounting for setbacks. The developable space may be further reduced by the seawall and a downward slope in the backyard. This variance request is currently under review, representing an early stage in the potential development process. If approved, the project could involve site preparation, foundation work, and the construction of a structure, followed by utility connections and finishing trades. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it progresses, as early engagement could provide an advantage before formal plans and permits are finalized.
