Case Number: Z-2818
Applicant: Mehlco Inc.
Location: 222 South Cross Street
Description: Lots 7,8,9 and 10, Block
301, Original City of Little
Rock
Present Classification: "G-l" Commercial District
Variance: Requests a variance from the
Height provisions of Sec.
43-17 (1) of the Code of
Ordinances to permit building
in excess of (84 ft. elevation
of building) permitted height
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE
THE VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED. ( 3 ayes - 0 noes -
1 absent)
Staff Recommendation: The Staff recommends approval of
the requested variance. This proposal is similar in
nature to a variance granted by the Board at 3rd and
Gaines Streets. The proposal meets the minimum required
parking in a "G-1" Commercial District and the minimum
required parking for an office use. MEHLCO, Inc.,
owners of this property, own approximately 3/4 of this
block and they are providing parking in addition to that
shown on this particular development plan.
A representative from the State Public Building Authority
requested a 30 or 60 day deferral to complete an in-depth
study to determine if the proposed building would obstruct
the view of the State Capitol Building from the east. The
applicant however requested that his variance be dealt with
at this meeting.

Description:
Present Classification:
Z-2819
James M. Adams
321 Linwood Court
Lot 17 and NZ of Lot 16,
Block 2, Crystal Court
Addition to Little Rock
"B" Residence District

Yard Setback provisions of

struction of open carport in

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD APPROVED THE
VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED. (3 ayes - 0 noes -
1 absent)
Staff Recommendation: The Staff recommends approval of
the requested variance provided the carport is open on
all sides. This lot has a good setback relationship
with the residence to the east on Crystal Court. There
are at the present time hedges and foliage along the
south and east property lines which serve to visually
separate the lot from adjacent lots.
There were no objectors present at the meeting.

Ttom Mn A
Case Number: Z=.1815-B
Applicant: Geyer Springs Community Assn.
Location: #50 Harrow Drive
Description: Tracts 18 and 19, L.B. Leigh- &
R.C. Butler Acres
Present Classification: "A" One -family and "F" Commercial
District
Variance: Requests permission under pro-
visions of Sec. 43-22-4 (D) of
the Code of Ordinances to permit
community center in a residential
zone
i
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT ACTION: THE BOARD VOTED TO APPROVE THE
REQUESTED VARIANCE WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE OTHER
PROVISIONS OF THE ORDINANCE BE COMPLIED WITH. (3 ayes - 0 noes-
1 absent)
Staff Recommendation: This application is the result of a
rezoning application whereby the petitioner attempted to gain
"F" zoning on part of the tract in order to construct a snack
bar and concession. The Staff instructed the Planning Com-
mission that the Board of Ad-justment had within its power of
review the use proposed and the commission deferred action in
order to pursue this route. The Staff feels that this is the
appropriate method for dealing with issues of this nature.
The applicant is at this time preparing a development plan
which will be presented at the meeting and Staff will make its
specific recommendation at that time. The Staff recommended
approval of the application.
There were no objectors present at the meeting.
