9) Distribution of total asset value
Highlands County is reviewing its impact fee structure for fire rescue and EMS services. This review aims to determine potential revenues from new development that could fund capital facility expansions. The county has allocated an average annual non-impact fee funding of $357,800 for fire rescue and $640,600 for EMS facilities. These funds come from sources like the Fire Fund, General Fund, infrastructure surtax, and grants. The review calculates an average annual capital expansion credit per functional resident, resulting in approximately $5 for fire rescue and $6 for EMS. This item is currently under review as part of an impact fee study. The work involves financial analysis and policy review related to capital funding. Local businesses involved in financial consulting, government contracting, and legal services may find opportunities as this review progresses.

A. BOA 1999 - SHAWNA AND RUBIN MCCULLORS, C/O SARAH MAIER,
This item concerns a variance request for a property located at 4712 Muriel Ave, Sebring. The applicant, Shawna and Rubin McCullors, represented by Sarah Maier of Dewberry Engineers, is seeking permission to build a replacement dwelling with reduced side yard setbacks. Specifically, they request a 3-foot variance on the west side, allowing a 4.5-foot setback instead of the required 7.5 feet, and a 2-foot variance on the east side, allowing a 5.5-foot setback instead of the required 7.5 feet. This variance is needed to replace a damaged dwelling on an approximately 0.10-acre parcel. The request has been approved by the Board of Adjustment. This project would involve site preparation, foundation work, framing, utility connections, and finishing trades for a new dwelling. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this type of residential construction work should reach out to the property owners or their representative early, before final plans and permits are settled, to understand potential opportunities.
