Dear Members of the Board of Adjustment,
When we bought our Stifft Station home in 2017, it fit us perfectly. We love our
home, our neighborhood, and the community here. However, since 2017, our family has
grown and we need more space. While we have kept our eyes open for other homes in
other places, we regard 331 Rosetta Street as our "forever home" and don't want to
lose it or the roots we have established here over the last 5+ years.
We really and truly don't want to move but really and truly need more space. We
realized that a multi -use accessory structure can easily be added onto our property if
we replace the existing carport with a garage/storage shed. In addition to being an
improvement to the property's curb appeal, we believe an enclosed structure would
provide more protection and security for our property. Unfortunately, our carport and
its attached storage shed have been the location of multiple thefts.
The carport currently sits on a concrete slab that is 28' x 12' along the rear
property line and within a few feet of our house. The Little Rock Code of Ordinances
Sec. 36-156 (2) b-f states that an accessory structure must be six feet from the house
and three feet from the property line. However, considering there is an existing
structure on the concrete, we hope the proposed improvement will be readily accepted.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Casey Dillard
