Summary of Applicant’s Request:
The petitioner is requesting a Conditional Use Permit for a second residence on the property due to medical hardship and the need to complete repairs resulting from Hurricane Milton in October 2024.
During Hurricane Milton, the petitioner’s primary residence sustained significant damage. In response, the petitioner obtained a second mobile home through FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). FEMA placed this mobile home on the property in approximately April 2025, in its current location near or at the property line. The petitioner is requesting a deviation from the 25-foot front setback to keep the mobile home in this location. FEMA has authorized the petitioner to maintain the mobile home on the premises.
Additionally, the petitioner’s family physician has recommended that the petitioner’s husband reside in the ADA-compliant mobile home to accommodate his medical needs.
