B. BOA 1939 REVOCATION
This notice concerns a special exception, BOA 1939, that was revoked by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment on April 14, 2026. The exception, originally granted on October 29, 2024, allowed for the parking of up to 7 commercial vehicles at 961 US 27 S in Venus. The revocation was requested by county staff due to ongoing noncompliance with regulations, including having too many vehicles and unpermitted items on the property. Although the property was divided, making the original exception void, staff pursued revocation to finalize the process. The owner, Mr. Venegas, indicated he was working to correct violations and meet engineering requirements, but this had financial impacts. The Board stated they could not assist with code enforcement issues and that Mr. Venegas would need to comply before reapplying for a special exception. This item is now closed and finalized, with no future construction or development work indicated by this specific action.

B. BOA 2000 - HENRY AND AGNES WALKER, C/O SARAH MAIER,
This item concerns a property at 108 Foxhunt Ave in Lake Placid, identified by Parcel ID C-07-37-30-062-0000-0190. The applicant, Henry and Agnes Walker, represented by Dewberry Engineers, is seeking a variance to build an 18.5-foot rear yard setback, which is less than the required 25 feet. This variance is needed to replace a damaged dwelling on the approximately 0.20-acre parcel. The request is currently under review by the Highlands County Board of Adjustment. If approved, the project would involve the demolition of the existing damaged dwelling and the construction of a new one, potentially including site clearing, foundation work, framing, utility connections, and finishing trades. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers interested in this type of residential repair and construction work should monitor the progress of this variance request, as early engagement could provide an advantage before final plans and permits are issued.
