3. New Matters• (Advertised)
Item ^Nv. I (Z- 1382)
Applicant: Richard A. Webber
Location: 5112 W. Markham Street
Descriptionr.: Lot 12, Block 7, Pfeifer's Addition
Classrification: "E-I" Quiet Business
Variance: Requesting a variance from the side
yard provisions of Section 43-14 and
waiver of one parking space Section 43-21
of the Little Rock Code of Ordinances
(Sec. 12A & 2A Zoning Ord.) to permit
construct i o'n' of a new building
Mr. Webber was present to represent his application. He plans a
two story office building for use as a real estate and insurance
office. This calls for ten parking spaces. Due to size of the of
and other requirements in "E-I" there is only room for 9 parkin i
spaces. Iry order to stay within the front yard requirements he is
;n need of a waiver of one parking space. In rder to allow proper
floor space he would need also a side yard waiver on the east.
There were six obJectors present. Mrs. Orville Woods, 5115 "A",
ob.i-ects because she would not like to have something right up
against the alley and the other side too. She does not feel this
would be ample parking space. Mrs.10xon, 5117 "A", does not want
`- a lot of little businesses going in right in back of her. It would
2
lower property values. Mr. George Hart, 5111 "A" was present„ He
can see no reason why they -should give him anything that is out of
line with the zoning ordinance requirements. He said Mr. Webber
knew what size the lot was when he bought it. He also wanted to know
who could ask for a waiver. He said he did not believe Mr.'Webber
has bought this property yet. Mr. Webber stated that he has a
binding contract with the property and the owner and the real estate
man are aware of this application. The property is already zoned
"E-1 and that is not the question. Mary Powell and Mrs. Walter
Powell, 510-9 "A" Street do not ab,iect too much to the business.
They,are drinking of the future. She stated the lot next to his
property has a lease for 10 years and at this time has nothing
')uilt on i-b�. This area is in danger of going commercial. In
r-ontractinq�there is large equipment and this is all right if he
stays within his area but she feels they would not. Mrs. Powell
said they gave enough traffic now. If you keep giving waivers it
will be very hazardous for children and everyone. Mr. Webber said
in talking with the neighbors and property owners, if you attbmpt
to purchase their property the price would indicate this property
is very valuable. Then when you attempt to get the use from the
cost of the land then the owners have a different tune. Mr.-Sebber•
said he certainly thinks this is an equitable request and that you
must get full use of your property. Mary Powell stated they do not
want t o- se+l their property therefore he could not get a selling
price from them. Mr. Hart said let him conform to regulations as
they are made. In Executive Session a motion was made that this
app I i-cat i ors be denied. The mot i-6-ii -was seconded and carried. Mr.
Meeks abstained.
