Sincerely, Montt Moord, Zoning and Code Enforcement Administrator Department of Planning and Development MM/vh August 25, 2017 City of Little Rock c% Monte Moore Re: 2122 North Palm Street Monte, -9r64-►4 This application is for the construction of a carport as per the attached proposed site plan. We already have a variance that allows for the carport, but it is supposed to be detached and does not allow the adequate room that is needed to park two vehicles and have enough room to get in the house. The new proposed carport location allows for Mr. Porter, who is physically challenged, to park and get in the house while completely covered. This will also allow for an additional vehicle to be parked in the back as well. This will only be a one story structure and will be an open carport. This structure will in no way obstruct the view or impede on anyone that may be driving down the rear alley. We respectfully request that the connected carport be allowed. This would allow covered parking and the much needed room for the homeowners. The carport is requested to be a 30' wide by 24' deep. Regards, Z/- ` w Jacob White, President Jacob White Construction September 22, 2017 City of Little Rods c/o Monte Moore Re: 2122 N. Palm Street Monte, We would like to make an addendum to our previous request for a rear setback and structure variance for the property at 2122 N. Palm Street. We originally were requesting a 30' wide and 24' deep carport. After meeting with the homeowners, we have determined that a 25' wide and 20' deep carport would be able to meet all of their needs . If you have any questions, please feel free to call me 501-912-2444. Regards, Jacob White, President Jacob White Construction SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 ITEM NO.: 2 File No.: Owner: Applicant: Address: Description: Zoned: Variance Requested: Justification: Present Use of Property: Proposed Use of Property STAFF REPORT U 1.9 Public Works Issues: No Comments Staff Analysis: Z-9164-A Robert and Marilynn Porter Jacob White 2122 N. Palm Street Lot 6, Block 5, Country Club Heights Addition R-2 A variance is requested from the area provisions of Section 36-254 to allow a carport addition with a reduced rear setback. The applicant's justification is presented in an attached letter. Single Family Residential Single Family Residential The R-2 zoned property located at 2122 N. Palm Street is occupied by a one-story brick and frame single family residence. A paved alley is located along the rear (west) property line. The applicant is nearing completion of a one-story addition to the rear (west end) of the residence. The addition is located 25 feet back from the rear (west) property line and five (5) to 5.8 feet from the north and south side property lines. In conjunction with the project, the majority of the rear yard area has been paved (concrete) for parking. On September 26, 2016 the Board of adjustment approved separation and coverage variances for a 20 foot by 24 foot detached carport within the rear yard area. The variances were approved, subject to the carport remaining unenclosed except for a small storage area. The applicant is now proposing to make a carport addition to the rear of the residence, as noted on the attached site plan. The proposed carport addition is approximately 31 feet by 24 feet in area. The proposed carport addition will be located approximately 13 feet from the north side property line, and maintain the same 5.8 foot setback from the south side property as the existing residence. SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 ITEM NO.: 2 (CON'T.) Z-9164.-A The proposed carport will be located approximately one (1) foot back from the rear (west) property line. The carport addition will be one (1) story in height and will be unenclosed on its north, south and west sides. Section 36-254(d)(3) of the City's Zoning Ordinance requires a minimum rear setback of 25 feet for principal structures within R-2 zoning. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance from this ordinance standard to allow the carport addition with a reduced rear setback of one (1) foot. Staff is not supportive of the requested rear setback variance. Staff does not view the request as reasonable. The applicant is proposing to cover a relatively large percentage of the required rear yard area (rear 25 feet of the lot) with the proposed carport addition. The addition will cover approximately 60 percent of the required rear yard area. The variance previously approved for a detached carport at this location was for a rear yard coverage of 37 percent (20 foot by 24 foot carport). Staff believes the applicant should consider scaling back the size of the proposed carport addition to a size similar to the detached carport which was previously approved. C. Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the requested rear setback variance, as filed. BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT (September 25, 2017) Staff informed the Board that the applicant had revised the application to reduce the size of the proposed carport addition to 20 feet by 25 feet, increasing the rear setback from one (1) foot to five (5) feet. Staff supported the revised application subject to the carport addition remaining unenclosed on its north, south and west sides. The item was placed on the Consent Agenda and approved, as revised and recommended by staff. The vote was 4 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
