cussion of his case it was decided that his proposal would improve the

Docket No. 24-62 - Little Rock Builders, Inc., (by Wm. R.
Meeks), Northeast corner of Kavanaugh Blvd. and No. Cedar
Streets, described as the !•Test 2 of Block 8, Pulaski Feights
Addition, zoned "D" Apartment District; requesting a waiver
of yard space requirements to conform_ with the requested
replat of this block.
I-fr. W. R. Meeks was present to explain his plat to the Board.
Mr. Meeks decided to waive the informality of the meeting and have the
board decide his case now. Mr. Meeks explained that the half block
area is presently zoned for multi -family use or "D" Apartment. Also tb
property is platted into six lots facing on Cedar Street. These lots
are approximately 50' wide and 1-40' deep. Mr. Meeks desires to locate
six duplex units so that two units face Hill Road, two on Cedar Street
and two on Kavanaugh Blvd. This arrangement and building plans makes
it necessary to waive the front and rear yard space to set backs of
20' instead of the 25' as required by the ordinance. This effects only
those units .facing Kavanuagh and those facing Hill toad. Mr. Meeks pointed
out that they plan on leaving 20' of side yard space for these same
units on the side facing Cedar Street. This is to keep from blocking
the front yard view of the homes to face Cedar Street.
The Pastor of the Fu,aski T?eights Baptist Church and several
women home owners in the same or adjoining blocks were present to dis-
cuss the off street narking problem. It was noted that the Last side of
Cedar Street was restricted for parking and Mr. ]~leeks was asked just how
he planned to handle his narking. He answered that they (the builders)
planned to provide one space of off-street narking for each dwelling
unit. They would be concrete driver and Parking spaces. Those units
nearest the alley and the onew facing Cedar 3treets would have ingress
and egress from the alley while those on the corners would need curb
cuts to park to the rear of their _lots. Mr. Tarlowski asked about the
replat of this and was told it would come Before the planning commission
on the following Thursday and that this waiver was being requested with
the hopes of the replat beinc- acceptable with the Planning Commission.
After some discussion it was decided that Mr. Meeks should place plans
for off street parking on the plat and also that the Bard would approve
a waiver for duplex units only.
The Meeting then adjourned.
