Re: Residential Zoning Variance Re-requested/Case No. Z-9299 Setback Variance ry
Property: 5801 Stonewall Road Little Rock, AR 72207
Dear Committee:
In February 2018 we were granted an amended request for a 2 - car carport addition to the west side
of our home. Due to delays with designing availability and contractor availability and then the onset
of Covid with its delays, we were unable actively undertake the project until now.
To that end we are re -applying requesting the granting of the previously amended and accepted
variance from 2.28.2018. Attached are the following docs:
0 2018 approval of application as revised with accepted condition (2.28.2018 -4 pages)
0 An updated survey (11.26.24) and a version with the carport added to the current survey,
which was added by Brooks Surveying, and dated 1.12.2026.
® Attached carport Drawings provided by CP Drafting and Design - 6 pages
0 An example of a similar carport concept from our neighborhood
■ Also attached are the communications from the various departments of the permit process
who have already accepted the current plans in 2026 and the 3 areas still indicating
resubmission. All requested items for resubmission are included in attached docs.
The request for zoning variance to have a carport built, to be re -issued as granted before, is being
requested so we can have covered and lighted parking for our vehicles and safer access to and from
our home in inclement weather. Our home is on the corner of Stonewall and Pierce and backs up to
Kavanaugh Boulevard. There is a lot of public parking all around our home for people frequenting
the restaurants and stores on Kavanaugh near Pierce. We feel covered/lighted parking will provide
us an additional layer of security for our home and cars.
This carport will be attached to the home and will have gutters and lighting. The finishes will be in
keeping with the finishes on the main house as our goal is for the carport to look as if it has always
been a part of the home.
Thank you for your renewed consideration. r
