D. Staff Analysis:
The R-2 zoned property located at 7901 Henderson Road in the southwest corner
of Pulaski County is proposing to construct a 50’ x 80’ metal accessory building
near the right-of-way of Henderson Road due to the extreme slopes and flooding
elsewhere on the site as stated in the cover letter. The new building is to be
between approximately 13-feet to 34-feet from the right-of-way.

Section 36-156(a)(2)(c) states “Accessory buildings or structures in the R-1 through
R-4A districts shall not be located closer than sixty (60) feet to the front property
line,” Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow the proposed
accessory building to be closer than 60-feet to the right-of-way.
Staff is supportive of the requested variance. Staff views the requests as
reasonable. The reduction of the front setback the planned accessory building is
similar to development patterns in the area. Staff believes that the requested
variance will have no adverse impact on the surrounding properties.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested variance, subject to the descriptions
and any conditions in the “staff analysis”.
