Relief from Section 7-101.7D to permit less than 10' of separation between structures. 2. Relief from Section 7-101.7D to permit a 6' front yard for an accessory building. Present Use of Property: Multifamily Proposed Use of Property: Same In November 1981, the Board of Adjustment approved a 91 front yard setback for an attached garage on this property. Since then, other considerations have forced the applicant to consider building a detached garage. The ordinance requires in the "R-5" district that all structures meet the setbacks and detached structures be located at least 101 apart. This request is for a waiver of both requirements. Staff had recommended denial of the earlier variance and does not make a recommendation on this request. The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. After a lengthy discussion, the Board moved to deny the application. That motion failed on a vote of 3 ayes, 2 noes and 2 absent. Then the Board made a motion to defer the item for one month so that the owner could provide additional information and justification for the variance requested. The motion passed: 5 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent. Item No. 1 - Continued The applicant was present and brought with him Tom Johnson, Architect, who showed a new site plan on this property attaching the carport to the house, which changed the variance issues in their entirety. The Board reviewed the site plan which showed the carport having a 16' front yard from Oak Street and having a 4.6' side yard on the south side next to the apartment project. After a lengthy discussion of the drawing and the issues at hand, the Board moved to approve a variance permitting a 151 front yard for the attached carport, and based their approval on Mr. Johnson's drawing and the discussion. The 4.6' side yard is not a factor. The setback will be 51 as required by ordinance. This modifies the variance of a 91 front yard which was granted in the November 1981 meeting. The motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 noes and I absent. October 18, 1982 Item No. 2 - Z-3898 Owner: Address: Description: Zoned: Variance Requested: Present Use of Property: Proposed Use of Pro,oertv: Mrs. Ed I.

October 18, 1982 Item No. 3 - Z-3903 Owner: James Couch and Bo Hawk By: James Moses Address: SW corner, Kavanaugh and "L" Street Description: Lots 1 and 2, Block 51, Pulaski Heights Addition Zoned: "C-3" General Commercial Variance Requested: 1. Relief from Section 7-103.3D to permit a 17-foot encroachment into both exterior yards. 2. -Relief from Section 8-101 to reduce required parking by 14 spaces. Present Use of Property: Vacant Commercial Proposed Use of Property: New Retail Building The intentions of the developer are to remove the existing two buildings and to construct one new building which will contain 7,000 square feet of retail space on the upper floor and 5,000 square feet of storage space in the base tent. The proposed structure as shown on the graphic is triangular shaped and will encroach at the extreme ends into the required setback by 17 feet. The open area in the front of the building will be used for parking. The ordinance requires parking to be provided for all 12,000 square feet but in this case only 7,000 feet will actually be shop area. Staff feels that a compromise parking requirement is in order. Staff recommends approval of the variances requested. The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. There were a number of questions regarding setbacks and parking to be answered. After the discussion, the Board moved to approve the 17' encroachments requested and to reduce the parking to a minimum of 25 spaces to be provided. This eliminates parking on the Harrison Street side of the project. The motion passed: 4 ayes, 0 noes, 1 absent and 2 abstentions (Marcelline Giroir and Joe Norcross both abstained, citing conflicts of interest).

BOARD ACTION: The applicant was present, and there were no objectors. After a brief discussion, the Board moved to approve the application as filed. The motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. October 18, 1982 Item No. 5 - Z-3827-A Owner: Hendrix College By: George Anderson Address: NW corner, Fair Park and 12th Street Description: Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 1, Peay and Worthen Addition Zoned: "C-4" Open Display MINVEM Requested: Relief from Section 7-103.4D to permit a 22-foot setback on the east side and a 15-boot setback on the south side for canopies. Present Use of Property: Vacant Commercial Proposed Use of Property: Gas Station On April 19, 1982, the Board of Adjustment approved a 21.7-foot setback on the east side and a 22.5-foot setback on the south side with the provision that two existing curb cuts near the intersection be closed. Upon further planning for reopening of this service station, the applicant has found it necessary to revert back to the original pump island locations, except that the islands will be -moved back from the street. This arrangement requires two canopies rather than the one proposed in the previous application. The size of the canopies has been reduced to 20 x 24 feet. In addition, the applicant finds it desirable and necessary to keep the second curb cut on 12th Street open in order to adequately handle traffic. What is now being proposed is a 22-foot setback from Fair Park Boulevard for the canopy and a 15-foot setback from 12th Street. In addition, the applicant is proposed to reduce the existing 40-foot curb cut on 12th Street nearest the intersection to 25 feet and to close the other curb cut on Fair Park nearest the intersection. Staff recommends approval of this new proposal. Item No. 5 - Continued • Staff stated that this was a rehearing on an earlier case, owing to some revisions in the Proposal that had to be made for technical -reasons. After some discussion, the Board moved to approve the new design as recommended by Staff, and the motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent. • There beinq no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:45 p.m. Da to V//4" 1OF 4S e- 6c 7r AeEa y! cffgirman
