Elm Little Rock, AR REQUEST: Planning Commission guidance on illegal lot transfer/ownership. STAFF REPORT: The applicants are requesting Planning Commission guidance as to their current predicament. Recently, they bought the one-story frame home shown on the sketch from Mr. Calvin Muldrow. They hired a surveyor who split the lots into two parcels so that Mr. Muldrow's home would be on the lot facing South Elm and theirs would face 18th Street. They have now found out that the house has been condemned and electricity can't be provided. Furthermore, both lots have been made nonconforming with widths and depths of 35' and 751. Due to the inadequate lot sizes, staff refused to sign off on the lot split. Upon site investigation, it was discovered that 18th Street is a gravel road and both homes are located approximately 3' from each other. The applicant has asked to find out how long the house on West 18th has been on the site since it does not appear to be that old. The Commission is asked to provide guidance as to the situation or to direct the City Attorney to pursue the matter. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE REVIEW: Since the applicants were not present, there was no review of the item. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The applicants were not present. The Commission voted to defer the item for 30 days to allow the applicants time to contact the staff. The motion passed by a vote of 9 ayes, 0 noes and 2 absent.
