Ryan,
Public Works is Ok with the proposed addition. The outer portion of the retaining wall foundation should be located
outside of the right-of-way on private property. If the retaining wall is 4 ft or taller, an engineer's design certification is
required. Attached is the CLR Engineer's design certification form.
If the existing trees are proposed to be removed and they are located within the public right-of-way off the subject
property, the CLR Urban Forester, Robby Hudson, must be contacted for approval of the removal of the trees.
If you have any questions or design additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Vince Floriani, P.E.

Vince,
That's correct.
Dash - dot - dot - dash is the property line. The property line in question runs parallel to Kavanaugh on the north side of
our property. It's probably -20' from the street. There's a sidewalk, bushes and mulch on the same plane as the street,

then a hill sloping downwards to the south towards the house, a retaining wall ... and then the dash -dot -dot -dash property
line.
The "dash only" line is the 5' side yard set back off the property line that Brian had identified for us in the first phase of this
prior to taking it to an architect.
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan.
I checked your plans against the Hillcrest DOD. Your numbers are good either way you go.
I checked with Monte Moore. He does Board of Adjustment. He recommended the you check with Public Works on
this. I have included Vince Floriani in this email. It Public Works will sign off on it, then you can file for a BOA side yard
variance. Monte thinks it has a fair chance of approval. You will be building to the property line at one point the way

we look at it. If you file for the BOA, you will need a survey from a surveyor to say exactly how far away from the line
you are. You will need that survey to get your building permit also.

Hi Brian,
Attached is:
A survey & previous calculations (ignore those; we already did the roof over the deck; I'm writing today about a room
addition)
I also have attached two potential architectural plans to do a home addition. One that combines a carport + bedroom
into one building, and the other that creates an attached bedroom addition + detached car port.
You can see where we are proposing locating the northeast comer of the building (or buildings) onto the 5-foot setback
line, on the north side of our property, which runs up to Kavanaugh, just west of Midland Street.
Thanks for your help and time!
All bests,
Ryan

Good morning.
After looking at your plans and inspecting the site 1 don't believe you will impact the trees. If roots are hit during
the digging just cut them off smooth and make sure they stay covered with dirt. Water them when it's possible as
well. If you have any more questions give me a call.

Dear Robbie,
Hope you are well.
Thanks for the recommendations on getting help for that post oak in our backyard. I've got a plan in place to do some
soil removal (recommended by some folks at UALR cooperative extension), and Peter Rausch will be coming out this
week to add his thoughts.
On a different note, we're contemplating a carport and room addition on the north side of our property at 524 Midland
and will be applying for a variance to do so.
There are 3 trees on City of Little Rock property (a walnut, hickory, and ... maybe another type of hickory or ash) that
are close to where the new addition would be. Basically, they're between our driveway and Kavanaugh just north of our
property line, and kind of intertwined with an ancient retaining wall that is also on CLR property,
We have planned the addition and site in such a way that we would try to minimize impact to the trees (we love them
and want all the foliage around our house we can get!)
However, Vince Florian told me that I needed to notify forestry to ensure that the plan we're going for is approved by
y'all, in case there would be any effect on the trees.
Can you take a look at this attachment, and also let me know if there's a good time this week for you to come out and
take a look?
