D. Staff Analysis:
The property located at 101 Hallen Court is occupied by a 4,524 square foot two-story wood and masonry single-family residence and is within the Chenal Valley Hallen Court subdivision.
The residence is located past the “Promenade at Chenal” off Chenal Parkway.
The survey indicates a rectangular lot with a width of 100-feet on the front property line tapering down to a width of 63.19 feet on the rear property line and a depth of 140-feet.
The applicant is proposing to install a 28-foot by 32-foot accessory pool structure, 3.2 feet south of the primary residence in the rear yard area. The rear yard is approximately 2,500
square feet thus the accessory structure (pool) will cover roughly fifty-five (55) percent of the rear yard.
Section 36-156(2)(c) requires the accessory structures not to occupy more than thirty percent (30%) of the required rear yard area. Therefore, the applicant is requesting a rear yard
coverage of not more than fifty-five feet.
Section 36-156 (2)(b) of the City of Little Rock Zoning Ordinance requires an accessory structure be separated from a single-family residence by a distance of not less than six (6) feet.
Therefore, the applicant is requesting a variance to allow an accessory structure with a reduced separation from a single-family residence.
The proposed in-ground pool will have less impact on the surrounding properties than an above ground structure. This proposal is similar to other neighborhood installations and presents
no foreseeable adverse effects on the neighboring residences.
E. Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the requested separation variance, subject
to the descriptions and any conditions in the “staff analysis,” and the following
conditions:
A building permit being obtained for all construction.
