A property owner is seeking a variance to reduce wetland setbacks to build a home. The property is located on Soundside Dr. The variance is needed because the lot's shape and terrain are different from nearby lots, which were developed at a different time. The applicant has contacted the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and is taking steps to protect the wetlands. This item is currently under review by the Zoning Board. If approved, the project would involve site preparation, foundation work, home construction, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in residential construction and related trades can explore opportunities by engaging with the applicant early in the process, before final site plans and permits are established.
