The Commission's approval is for a period of two (2) years or until the parents are no longer resident of the home. At that time, it will be necessary to remove the mobile home from property or seek other approval from the Planning Commission if you desire to continue its occupancy as a residential structure. If you have questions concerning this time extension, do not hesitate to call my office.

CLARA COMBS 7804 Henderson Road Little Rock, AR 72210 455-2925 AREA: 0.379 ACRES NUMBER OF LOTS: 1 FT. NEW STREET: 0 ZONING: R-2 PROPOSED USES: Two single-family (Outside the City Limits) homes on one lot PLANNING DISTRICT: 17 CENSUS TRACT: 42.08 VARIANCES REQUESTED: Continuation of the previously granted waiver from the Subdivision Regulations which requires site plan review for two principle buildings on one lot. STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL: The applicant, by letter dated July 16, 1991, explained that, because of severe health problems of her elderly parents, she requested approval for the placement of a mobile home next to her parents' home on their property, and stated that the mobile home would be removed from the property upon the death of her parents and her moving into the home. The Planning Commission, on September 10, 1991, considered the request. There were no objectors present, and the Commission permitted Ms. Combs to have the mobile home on the property for a 2-year period. Now, by letter dated June 23, 1994, Ms. Combs relates that conditions have not changed; that her parents are in ill health, with her father being completely house bound; and, that she needs to attend them, because, without her living in the mobile home next door, her parents could not continue to live in their home and would have to be relocated to a nursing home. She stated further that her husband is ill. She related that, since the situation cannot continue forever, she asked that an extension of the previously granted waiver be granted. A. PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Approval by the Planning Commission is sought for a waiver from the Subdivision Regulations which requires site plan review for two principle uses on one lot in order to allow July 26, 1994 SUBDIVISION ITEM NO.: 13 Cont.) FILE NO_: S-936 two primary residential structures to be located on the applicant's parents lot. The applicant's parents are in critically ill condition, she relates, and she is needed to tend to their physical needs. The only way this can be accomplished, Ms. Combs says, is for her husband and her to reside on the property with her parents, and a mobile home has been located next door to the parents' home for this purpose. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS: The applicant's parents' lot is located outside the City Limits, but in the planning area of the City. The zoning of the area is R-2, which requires each primary dwelling to occupy one lot. The mobile home is located to the side of the permanent dwelling on the site. C. ENGINEERING UTILITY COMMENTS: There were no comments received. D. ISSUES/LEGAL/TECHNICAL/DESIGN: Section 36-2 of the Zoning Ordinance defines "Lot" as "a parcel of land legally defined in a recorded deed or a recorded plat, fronting on a public dedicated right-of-way or other approved private drive", and establishing "one (1) building site,, which is to "comply with Chapter 31." Section 31-13 of the Subdivision Ordinance requires site plan review for developments "involving the construction of two (2) or more (principle use) buildings". E. ANALYSIS• The area is outside the City Limits in a rural and isolated area. There were no objectors at the original Commission hearing when the waiver was originally granted; there have been no complaints since that time. There is apparently a valid need for the applicant to reside on the property with her parents, and there is apparently a valid need to reside in a separate, but temporary home in close proximity to the parents. F. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends a continuation of the waiver granted in 1991, with the condition that the time period be extended for an additional two (2) years, or until the death of both the parents. Upon the expiration of the two (2) years, K July 26, 1994 ITEM NO.: 13(Cont.)FILE NO.: S-936 unless the Commission hears and grants another request for an extension of the waiver, or upon the death of both parents, whichever occurs sooner, the mobile home is to be completely removed from the property. SUBDIVISION COMMITTEE COMMENT: (JULY 7, 1994) The applicant was not present. Staff presented the request to the Committee members. The Committee forwarded the request to the Commission for final resolution of the matter. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: (JULY 26, 1994) Staff reported that Mrs. Combs had spoken by telephone with staff on July 25, 1994, and had reiterated the seriousness of the physical condition of her parents and husband. Commissioners Oleson and Willis, members of the Subdivision Committee, recalled that the discussion at the Subdivision Committee meeting had resulted in a recommendation for a one-year extension of the time to comply with the Subdivision and Zoning Regulations for the second dwelling on the property. Staff reported that the recommended two-year extension would begin with the date of expiration of the initial approval of the extension to comply with the regulations. Therefore, the recommended new two-year extension would expire on September 10, 1995. The item was included on the consent agenda for approval, and was approved with the vote of S ayes, 0 nays, 2 absent, 0 abstentions, and 1 open position. 3 City of Little Rock Department of Neighborhoods and Planning 723 West Markham Little Rpck, Arkansas 72201-1334 (501) 371-4790 July 21, 1994 Ms. Clara Combs 7804 Henderson Rd.
