I VVl A ���Vfl__.----- Tim Herndon, Deve)opment Manager Department of Planning and Development TH/Im Tre KitchensThe Brad Hendricks Law Firm500 Pleasant Valley Drive Suite CLittle Rock, Arkansas 72227 September 3, 2020 ITEM NO.: 3 (CON'T) Z-9454-A While other setback variances have been granted in the general area, the subject massing/lot coverage is not in keeping with the character of the neighborhood. Staff does not view the request as reasonable and neither supports the requested rear and side yard setback variances, nor the reduced accessory structure (pool) separation variance. As of this writing, two neighboring owners have called the Planning and Development Office to ask questions and express concerns in August 2020, and a separate complaint was registered by a neighbor in June 2020, leading to issuance of the "stop work order" by the City. E.Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends denial of the requested rear setback, side yard setback and accessory structure separation variances. Board of Adjustment (September 3, 2020) The applicant was not present. There was a motion to defer the item at the applicant representative's request. The motion was seconded. There was no further discussion. The vote was 5 ayes, 0 noes and 0 absent. The application was deferred. 4
