Docket No, 38 - H. J..Meyer, 1623 College Street, described
as Lot Eight W , Block Thirteen (13)0 Dodge
Addition to the City of Little Rock, Arkansas,
zoned "C" Two -Family District; requesting a
variance from all applicable provisions of
Ordinance No. 5420 to permit construction to
house - bathroom facilities with storage apace.
Mr. Meyer, the applicant, reported to the Board that the City Engineer's office
had ordered the installation of bathroom facilities in his florist shop at 17th and
College Streets. A copy of the letter from the Engineer's office has been filed
with this application. He stated he would like to add a storeroom to the rear of
the florist shop at the same time the bathroom facilities are added:.
Alderman Loy explained to the Board that this storeroom is needed in order to
give efficient service to the public. He stated that the florist shop has been
operating at the same location for about 50 years; having been non -conforming oper-
ation since 1937 when the zoning ordinance was passed.
In the executive meeting Miss Penton moved that this request be granted;
Mr. Baldwin seconded and the motion carried.
Mr. Dave Russell of the Ark -Lin Motor Company was present with a problem con-
cerning acquisition of adjoining property in the "C-1" District for the purpose of
expansion of Ark -Lin Motors at some future date. He was interested in having the
Boards committment to waive the off-street parking provisions of this district
before Ark -Lin purchases the property.
After discussing the matter the Board instructed the staff to notify Mr. Russell
that the Board considered his problem thoroughly, but were not in favor of waiving
the off-street parking requirements of this district.
Mr. Burleigh then reviewed the minutes of the meeting of September 19, 1955,
which had not yet been approved by the Board. He pointed out that the paragraph
describing the action approving the Decalced Carmelite Monastery was very brief and
did not recite the findings of the Board in resolution form as had been discussed at,
that meeting.
