D. Analysis:
The property located at 2 Charleston Place is currently occupied by an 1,820 square
foot single -story wood frame residence. The survey shows a lot width of 50 feet and
depth of 145 feet.
The applicant is proposing an additional carport bay on the north of the existing
garage. The addition will be 14 feet by 23.3 feet and will be constructed as a
continuation of the existing structure. The roof, floor and siding will be constructed in
the same design as the existing residence. No additional paved driveway area will

be added. The site plan indicates that the new open carport structure will extend to
the north 14-feet into the rear yard area and 11-feet beyond the platted rear building
line.
Section 31-12(b) of the City's Subdivision Ordinance states, "In those instances
where a recorded subdivision plat has established building setback lines in
accordance with this chapter, variances of those lines shall only be granted by the
Board of Adjustment. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow a
reduction of the 40-foot platted rear building line to 29-feet.
In Staffs opinion, the proposed building line adjustment, poses no negative effect
upon the health, safety, or welfare of the general public, and does not detract from
the value or aesthetic of the neighborhood or surrounding properties. In addition,
Staff finds the request to generally be in conformance with the development pattern
in the neighborhood. Based on the above assessment and analysis, Staff finds the
requested variance to be reasonable.
If the Board approves the requested building line setback variance, the applicant
must then produce a one -lot replat reflecting the approved change. As such, the
applicant must also review filing procedures with the County Clerk's office to
determine if the replat will require a revised Bill of Assurance and respond as
necessary and appropriate, as part of said replat. A copy of the revised plat must be
submitted to the Planning and Zoning Department of the City of Little Rock.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested rear yard setback to no less than 29-feet,
subject to the following conditions:
1. Obtain a building permit prior to construction.
2. A replat of the property be performed and filed.
