Item No. 1 - Z-3777-A
Owner: Nancy Van Hoye - By: Tom Colford
Address: 3623 Hill Road
Description: N 1/2 Lot 10 and all of Lot 11, Block 5
Auten and Moss Addition
Zoned: "R-5" Urban Residence
Variance
Requested: 1. 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.

place. This structure presently extends into the rear yard,
and the only additional encroachment will be for the
fireplace as shown. No adverse relationships between
structures will be created. Staff recommends approval.

were no objectors. After a brief discussion, the Board
moved to approve the application as filed. The motion

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).

purpose of expanding the vehicle maintenance facility
located on this site. The property is sufficiently
separated from the railroad tracks shown and across the

approval.
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

Item No. 5 - Z-3827-A
Owner: Hendrix College

Peay and Worthen Addition

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

owing to some revisions in the Proposal that had to be made

moved to approve the new design as recommended by Staff, and
the motion passed: 6 ayes, 0 noes and 1 absent.
