Due to the unusual shape of my lot and the space needed it is necessary to build in the fifteen foot easement shown on the survey. The shop is to be twenty feet by twenty feet, with a brick facing and siding on three sides. It will have electricity but not plumbing. The pitch of the roofline will match my house and conform to neighborhood association specifications. I have a letter from the neighborhood association with said permission. I have obtained all five letters from the required utilities along with a letter from my neighborhood association. Please consider my application Andrew Daugherty JJ� 2/29/16 Drew Daugherty Drew, this letter is in reference to the construction of a shop on your property. The Pleasant Valley Estate Property Owners Association Board has voted on this and have granted approval for the project based on the plans that were submitted. Please let me know if you need additional infonnation. Thanks Mark Ferguson PVEPOA President September 25, 2017 Mr. Monty Moore City of Little Rock 723 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 RE: 212 S. Broadway Street Zoning Variance Dear Monty: MOSES TUCKER REAL ESTATE The purpose of this letter is to provide a zoning variance application for the installation of a monument sign to be located at the corner of 3rd Street and Broadway at the property located at 212 S. Broadway Street. The reason this application is being made is because that the property is zoned Urban Use and the proposed monument sign is not permitted. The proposed monument sign would be located in the same place as the previous pole sign, however it would be cut down in size and repurposed as a part of the internal structure of a new sign, as shown on the attached illustrations. We believe the proposed application and installation of the monument is appropriate as it utilizes an existing structure and replaces an unsightly pole within the boundaries of the property and does not place the monument sign in an elevated position above the ground. Additionally, unlike many of the properties downtown, the building is setback significantly from the road and, without adequate signage, adds an additional hardship to the commercial functions of the business. The proposed monument sign will attach to the existing metal pole and will consist of a base made from rock or brick, a cabinet made out of aluminum and the faces panels made of acrylic with backlit LEDs. The sign will be two sided, one facing each direction of Broadway. Each panel will have three individual sign panels for company names. The sign frame will be 71.9" tall by 120" long in total, or approximately sixty (60) square feet. The proposed monument sign will also include the building address along the bottom portion. Please let me know if you have any questions. Sincerely, Matthew Beachboard Moses Tucker Real Estate Agent for Owner evidenced by the multiple police reports and because we decided to take a stand against their criminal behavior is why we are facing this issue of having our beloved deck taken away. Mr. Monte Moore with the City of Little Rock told me there has never been a complaint filed against the deck. With the pictures attached it clearly shows the deck was pre-existing before we purchased the home, but there was never a complaint/problem with the deck until now it shows that this attack is of malice intent NOT a true problem with the deck. The deck has been there with no problems, no complaints at all. Being that our home has an unusual lot configuration it is side facing, that locates the front door on the side and the back door is also at the side is another reason the deck should be allowed to stay. The deck should be approved because: •We had no responsibility in the construction of the deck •Pre-existing structure and not included in the property additions disclosure •Deck has been in place for 2 years with no prior complaints from neighbors or problems with the deck •Would take away value from our home that was a major selling point and was included in the selling price. •Unusual lot configuration side facing home. •Survey concludes deck is completely on our property and NOT on the neighbor's property, and is feet away from the property line. •Cost is expensive, would be out of excessive money, it would be a financial hardship for me on top of being a college student. •The deck has helped my family cope with this loss of my grandmother, my mother's mother by creating a family friendly environment to help our family bond. Best Solution: •Even if the deck is torn down that will not solve anything because the issue is not about the deck it is personal therefore, I think the best solution to decrease neighboring tension would be to install a permitted fence to divide the properties. Board of Adjustment I want you all to know that this experience has enlightened and educated me on how to be a more informed homebuyer and what to look for in the future. I pray that you all find it in your heart to see that we love our home and would be devastated if we had to tear down part of it. I pray you can see the real matter of this situation is not about the deck and that simply tearing it down will not solve anything. Please take this into consideration when making your decision and put yourselves in our shoes as first time homebuyers. Please keep our dreams alive, the dream I had when I first purchased this home for my mother!

Harrison Street Part of Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 24, Newton's Addition R-2 A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section 36-156 to allow construction of an accessory garage with increased rear yard coverage. The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Present Use of Property: Single Family Residential Proposed Use of Property: Single Family Residential STAFF REPORT A.Public Works Issues: 1.All driveways shall be concrete aprons per City Ordinance and conform with Public works standard detail PW-30. 2.No parking is allowed within the right-of-way. B.Staff Analysis: The R-2 zoned property located at 2000 N. Harrison Street is occupied by a one story brick and frame single family residence. The property is located at the northwest corner of N. Harrison Street and Kavanaugh Blvd. A one-car wide driveway from N. Harrison Street is located at the northeast corner Qf the lot. The applicant proposes to construct a one (1) story garage at the northwest corner of the property. The garage will be 21 feet by 24 feet (504 square feet) in area. The proposed structure will be located three (3) feet from the rear (west) property line and three (3) feet from the north side property line. The garage will be located 19.7 feet from the south street side property line and six (6) feet from the house. The proposed garage will occupy 43 percent of the required rear yard area (rear 25 feet of the lot). A new two-car wide driveway from Kavanaugh Blvd. will be constructed at the southwest corner of the lot as part of the garage project. OCTOBER 30, 2017 ITEM NO.: 7 (CON'T.) Z -9269 Section 36- 156(a)(2)c. of the City's Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum rear yard coverage of 30 percent for accessory structures in R -2 zoning. Therefore the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed garage structure with a rear yard coverage of 43 percent. Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the request as reasonable. The lot has a relatively narrow width of 46 feet, which limits the amount of buildable area. With the exception of the rear yard coverage requirement, the proposed garage will conform with all other setback and separation requirements. The proposed garage will not be out of character with other accessory structures in this general area. Many other similar size accessory structures exist throughout the Heights neighborhood. Staff believes the proposed garage with increased rear yard coverage will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard coverage variance, subject to the compliance with the Public Works requirements as noted in paragraph A. of the staff report. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT The applicant was present. There were no objectors present and a recommendation of approval as outlined in the "staff There was no further discussion.

O. Box 242689 Little Rock, AR 72223 501 - 225 -4134 September 24, 2017 Board of Adjustment Department of Planning and Development 723 West Markham Street Little Rock, AR 72201 Re: 2000 North Harrison Street Rear yard variance Dear Commissioners: I represent Mr. Peter Moschel of the above referenced address. Mr. Moschel is completely renovating and adding an addition to the residence located at the above address. We are requesting a variance for the 30% rear yard coverage rule for detached accessory structures. We propose to build a 21 -foot width by 24 -foot deep detached two -car garage accessory building within the rear 25 -foot setback. Our plan locates both the west and the north sides of the structure at the minimum allowable dimension of 3 feet. The footprint that we propose would be 43% and would face the south of the property along Kavanaugh. There are many other accessory garages in this area that exceed the 30% rule and even exceed 43 %. We have elected to place the garage in this area to preserve the original footprint and architectural of the 1920 structure and to preserve a larger "green space" north of the existing home. This area is approximately 14 feet x 125 feet in length and would have allowed for an expansion of the existing home by more than 675 square feet on the lower level. We believe this to be far more congruent to the neighborhood and this provides more balance of the home on the property. I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have.
