Item No. 10
NAME:
W.W. Jay's Building Line
Waiver
LOCATION: #47 Scenic Boulevard
DEVELOPER: Wilson Jones
#47 Scenic Boulevard
Little Rock, AR
Phone: 375-9131
REQUEST:
Elimination of the 10' platted building line and utility
easement for the expansion of a single family residence.
A. Site Histor
None.
B. Existinq Conditions
This site is located in an area which is comprised of
single family homes.
C. Development Proposal
The applicant is requesting that he be allowed to
replat Lots A and B of Gates replat into one lot and to
eliminate a 10' platted utility easement so that he can
extend his present residence about 30' west and add a
garage at the south property line, which will be
connected to the residence by a covered walkway.
Justification for the request is based on the
"extremely precipitous" terrain on the land adjacent to
Scenic Boulevard, which prevents him from building
beyond the 10' building line. He has stated that the
sloping terrain will cause the garage to be 20' in the
air if he complied with the building line. If approval
is granted, the applicant would like permission to
extend the curb/gutter from the house immediately west
past the residence in a manner consistent with what is
existent. He also stated that the owner of the
reserved portion of the Gaines replat will review the
proposal and respond before August 31. The applicant
does not feel that his proposal will detract from the
area since all the residences on Scenic are built to
the street line due to the identical terrain problem.
