Z-6350
Mark and Nancy Webre
3 Overlook Drive
Lot 68, Section B, Overlook Park
R-2
A variance is requested from the
building line provisions of Section
31-12 to permit construction of an
addition which crosses a platted
building line.
Applicant's Statement: We are
planning to build additional square
footage to our existing house.
Specifically, this addition will
extend sixteen feet (161) of the
west wall five feet (51) beyond the
west building setback line that was
established by the original
subdivision plat. This addition,
as you know, requires the Little
Rock Board of Adjustment to review
and approve this addition.
This addition is required to
accommodate our handicapped child's
ability to access the main living
area of our house. Upon completion
of the addition, our son will be
able to utilize his walker to
access the living room, kitchen, an
outdoor deck, his bedroom and
bathroom (bedroom and bath are
proposed additions). The more he
utilizes his walker, the longer his
body will not collapse on him.
Due to the alignment of the roof's
slope, the arrangement of the rooms
and restriction of space in the
back yard, we are convinced that
this is the logical direction to
expand.

Staff Report:
A. Public Works Issues:
No issues
B. Staff Analysis:
The applicants propose to construct an addition onto their
home located on the R-2 zoned property at 3 Overlook Drive.
The addition will cross a platted 25 foot building line by
approximately 2 feet.
Staff believes the variance request to be reasonable. The
proposed addition is designed to accommodate the needs of
the applicant's handicapped son. The addition will
architecturally match the other end of the house. The
placement of the house more than exceeds all other required
setbacks. The 2 foot encroachment will be visually
negligible and should have no impact on adjacent properties.
Should the Board approve the building line variance, the
applicant will have to do a one -lot replat reflecting the
change in the building line. The applicant should review
the filing procedure with the Circuit Clerk's office to
determine if the replat requires a revised Bill of
Assurance.
C. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested building line
variance subject to a one lot replat reflecting the change
in the building line as approved by the Board.
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT:
(JULY 28, 1997)
The Chairman asked the Staff to present its recommendation.
Richard Wood, of the Staff, made a brief statement of the issues
and offered the staff recommendations of approval subject to the
lot being replatted to reflect the building line change. The
Chairman then asked if there was someone presented representing
the application.
Mark Webre came forward and offered a brief statement on his
application. At the conclusion of his remarks, the Chairman
noted there were no objectors in attendance.
