Re: Gaines and Bonnie Williamson Variance Request
6 Pinnacle Point
Little Rock, AR 72205
Dear Mr. Thrower,
Please find attached our submittal to the Little Rock Board of Adjustments requesting a variance
to allow the crossing of the side yard setback at 6 Pinnacle Point.
Our clients are planning to expand their master bathroom and closet to the west side of their
property. The lot is an unusual shape, being over 130' wide towards the street then narrowing
to just 30' toward the rear of the property, forming a wedge. The average lot width results in the
maximum side yard setbacks of 8'-0", which become increasingly restrictive as you move
toward the rear yard. We are proposing an addition that will remain 8'-0" off the property line at
the front corner, then narrow to 4'-0" off the property at the rear.
Our goal is to give our clients a more functional master suite that will allow them to remain in
their home as they age. Given the extreme difference in angle between the west property line
and the orientation of the house, any reasonable addition that ties into the existing master
bedroom will encounter undue restrictions from the side yard setback. We therefore believe this
is a reasonable request.
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me. We
appreciate your consideration of our request.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ellen Yeary,
