SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (December 23, 2019) The applicant was present. Staff presented the item and noted no additional information was needed. Staff stated they would recommend that the applicant replat this lot (lot 4) and the lot adjacent to the south (lot 2R) moving the common lot line five feet to the south so as to provide a five foot setback for this lot. The applicant agreed.. It was noted that the proposed site plan indicated the required right-of-way dedication and moving the lot line would address public works' concern about the driveway radius. Comments from the other departments and reviewing agencies were noted. The committee determined there were no other issues and forwarded the item to the full commission. 3 January 30, 2020 NO.: 6 (Cont.) FILE NO.: Z-8898-B AFF ANALYSIS: The applicant is requesting approval of a CUP to allow for construction of a new duplex residential structure on this R-3 zoned lot. The applicant has developed two duplex structures on the lots adjacent to the south. On May 9, 2019, the commission approved a conditional use permit to allow the applicant to construct a storage building on this lot to serve as storage space for the residents of the adjacent two duplex residential structures. He did not construct the storage building and has chosen to pursuer approval of this new conditional use permit. The one-story structure will be approximately 2,300 square feet in size, split between two equally -sized dwelling units. The thermal insulated, wood -framed structure will be clad with vinyl siding, vinyl clad thermal glazed windows and a hip roof clad with asphalt shingles. The applicant is proposing to construct a four -space paved parking area in front of the building, as he did for the lots to the south. Staff is supportive of the proposed CUP. This site, at the edge of the residential neighborhood and adjacent to the commercial properties along John Barrow Road, is an appropriate location for the duplexes. Required parking is being provided. Staff does recommend that the applicant replat this lot (lot 4) and the lot adjacent to the south (lot 2R), moving the common lot line five feet to the south. Lot 2R is wide enough to allow for the loss of the five feet and still provide a 13.5 foot setback on that side. Re -platting the lots will provide for a five foot setback for the proposed structure on lot 4, as it will increase that lot's width to 52.8 feet. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested CUP subject to compliance with the following conditions: 1. Compliance with the comments and conditions outlined in Sections 4, 5 and 6 and the staff analysis in the agenda staff report. 2. This lot (lot 4) and the adjacent lot to the south (lot 2R) are to be re -platted so as to move the common lot line five feet to south, providing a five foot side yard for the proposed duplex on lot 4. 2 January 30, 2020 ITEM NO.: 6 Cont.

The required fire separation distance (building to property line) prescribed by the building code terminates at five (5) feet. Buildings are allowed to be closer than five (5) feet if they have properly constructed fire walls which provide the requisite one (1) hour fire resistance rating.

Openings such as doors and windows are limited when the exterior wall is three (3) feet from the property line, and are prohibited when the exterior wall is less than three (3) feet from the line. There is no restriction on openings when the exterior wall is more than three (3) feet from the property line. Contact the City of Little Rock Building Codes at 371-4832 for additional details.
