Re: Andrew and Jenny Faulkner Variance Request
31 Beverly Place
LiFle Rock, AR 72207
Dear Tracy,
Please find aFached our submiFal to the LiFle Rock Board of Adjustments requesMng a variance
to allow the crossing of a plaFed building line at 31 Beverly Place.
Our clients are planning an addiMon to their exisMng home. The plans extend beyond the
exisMng 30’ plaFed building line in two locaMons. An encroachment occurs along a porMon of
the west side of the property. There is currently an exisMng carport and garden wall that violates
the setback at that locaMon now. The carport and garden wall will be removed under this plan.
An addiMonal encroachment occurs at the northwest corner of the property where a new front
porch is planned. The addiMon will also require a reducMon to a porMon of the south side yard
setback from 8 feet to approximately 5 feet.
Given the difficult geometry of the site, we feel that this is a reasonable request. Our goal is for
the addiMon to fit within and enhance the fabric of the exisMng neighborhood.
If you have any quesMons or need further informaMon, please feel free to contact me. We
appreciate your consideraMon of our request.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jim Yeary, AIA
