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

A property owner is seeking variances to replace a damaged single-family home at 4712 Muriel Avenue in Sebring. The existing home was damaged by Hurricane Ian. The proposed replacement dwelling is 1,221 square feet. The owner needs variances for side yard setbacks to allow a 4.5-foot setback on the west and a 5.5-foot setback on the east, instead of the required 7.5 feet on both sides. This variance request is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve the demolition of the existing damaged dwelling and the construction of a new single-family home. This could create opportunities for contractors involved in demolition, site preparation, foundation work, framing, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and finishing trades, as well as suppliers of building materials. Reaching out early, before permits are finalized, could provide an advantage for local businesses.
