# Zoning Board of Adjustments - Oct 22 2026


**Body:** Walton County
**Date:** October 23, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The Walton County Zoning Board of Adjustments meeting, identified in the title as October 22, 2026, considered several property-variance requests; no procurement activity was identified. The board continued Branch Towers 3 LLC’s variance and the Piper variance (VR26-41) to November 16. The Piper item was continued because the county could not verify that required certified-mail notice had been provided in the required form and on time. For the Lickers request, the board discussed allowing an additional driveway and a slightly wider driveway, with impervious-surface requirements also to be addressed; the transcript does not capture a clear final vote or outcome.

The board denied Patricia Cecil’s request to reduce a side setback for a carport. Robert Russell’s request to reduce a rear setback was conditioned on removing an existing carport and received a 3–2 vote; the meeting stated that four affirmative votes were needed for a variance, so the request did not meet that threshold. For Nicolas Carmona’s request involving a roughly three-inch front-setback encroachment, the board proceeded toward a final order referencing the survey and permitted entry steps; the transcript indicates approval but does not clearly capture the vote. The board also approved the meeting minutes.
