Overview: In a meeting held on February 22nd, 2024, the Stuart Board of Adjustment approved a variance request for the construction of an attached carport on Southeast Sailfish Lane, despite initial staff recommendation to deny the petition due to the strict interpretation of the Land Development code. The petitioner, Sally Sloan, successfully convinced the board that her plan to replace an existing awning with a more substantial structure would not only protect her vehicle but also meet the approval of her neighbors and adhere to building codes, subject to proper permitting and compliance with current ordinances.
