Dear Board of Adjustment,
I am writing to formally request a variance for the front building line for my property located at 701
N. Cedar, Little Rock, AR 72205.
My family purchased 5 lots and we have had it replatted to 3 lots. This has been approved by the
city. We are planning to build three single family homes on these lots. The lots are zoned R-5 which
has a minimum 25 foot build line. I am requesting approval for the front building line to be reduced
from the required 25 feet to 15 feet. To clarify, the build line that is off N. Cedar Street.
The reason for this request stems from the unique topographical and logistical challenges
presented by the lot. The street side of the property has a steep incline, coupled with an existing
power line, which makes it impractical and unsafe to place the front of the house facing the street.
Additionally, the rear of the lot includes a driveway easement for the neighboring property, further
complicating the positioning of the structure. By adjusting the front building line to 15 feet, we aim
to better accommodate these constraints and reduce potential encroachment into the easement.
I believe that this variance will allow for a more functional and safe design while still adhering to the
overall intent of the city's zoning regulations. I greatly appreciate your consideration of this request
and am happy to provide any additional information or clarification if needed.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Case Cerrato
