The City of Florence, South Carolina held a zoning appeals board meeting on August 27, 2026, presided over by Vice Chairman Nathaniel Posten. The primary procurement-related discussion involved a variance request (BZA-2026-15) for a rear setback requirement to install a spa adjacent to an existing swimming pool at a residential property on Trotter Road. City staff presented the case, noting the unique lot configuration and existing pool limited placement options, and that the spa would be eight and a half feet from the rear property line instead of the required ten feet. The board discussed the variance's impact on neighbors, screening by a brick fence, and compliance with setback rules. After hearing from the applicant and city staff, the board voted unanimously to approve the variance, allowing the spa installation with the reduced setback. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
