Temple Terrace Board of Adjustments August 27, 2026

The Temple Terrace Board of Adjustments convened on August 27, 2026, to consider two variance requests related to a lot split at 8722 Overlook Drive. The applicants, James and Linda Jenkins, sought variances to subdivide their property into two separate parcels, each containing one of two existing single-family dwellings. The board reviewed staff presentations detailing the requested reductions in minimum lot width, lot area, and side setbacks for both the northern and southern portions of the property. After public testimony and discussion, the board approved both variance requests with conditions, including limits on impervious surface coverage and adherence to approved lot split plans. These approvals enable the applicants to legally separate the two homes for potential sale or development. No other new business was discussed, and the meeting was adjourned.
