Re: Whit & Lisa Hall Variance Request
2322 N. Garfield Street
Little Rock, AR 72207
Dear Mr. Price,
Please find attached our submittal to the Little Rock Board of Adjustments requesting a variance
to allow the crossing of the side yard and rear yard setbacks at 2322 N. Garfield Street.
Our request is based on our clients' desire to build a new traditional single-family home with an
accessory garage to the rear, connected by an open-air covered breezeway. We are asking for
a side -yard variance to allow the construction of a stair from the breezeway to the south side of
the property, necessitated by the slope of the site. The stair will remain 4'-0" off the south
property line. We are also requesting a variance to the rear -yard area coverage for accessory
structures, to allow for a three -car garage with ample room above for a guest quarter. The
property abuts a rear alley, which will provide buffer space to the adjacent properties to the
west.
We are hoping to fulfill our clients' desire to have a comfortable home with living space above
the garage where they may easily care for a family member. Given the topography of the site
and the minimal lot area, we believe a variance 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,
Jim Yeary, AIA
