Re: Residential Zoning Variance Request
Property Address: 101 Hallen Court, Little Rock, Arkansas
Lot 79, Block 96, Chenal Valley – Hallen Court Subdivision
To Whom It May Concern,
I am submitting this letter as the authorized agent and pool contractor for Christopher W. White, the
owner of the single-family residential property located at 101 Hallen Court in Little Rock, Arkansas. This
letter is provided in support of the application requesting a side yard setback variance to allow for the
construction of an in-ground swimming pool and associated pool equipment on the subject property.
The property is an irregularly shaped lot with an angled side property line that significantly restricts usable
rear yard space. Due to the configuration of the lot and the existing placement of the residence, strict
enforcement of the side yard setback requirements would prevent reasonable placement of a swimming
pool without eliminating functional use of the backyard.
The proposed pool location was selected after evaluating multiple layout options and was determined to be
the most appropriate placement in order to:
● Accommodate the unusual lot shape
● Maintain existing drainage patterns
● Preserve safe access and circulation around the residence
● Minimize visual and physical impact on neighboring properties
The hardship prompting this request is not self-created and is not based on economic considerations, but
rather on the unique configuration of the lot, which differs from more typical rectangular lots within the
surrounding area.
The proposed improvement is consistent with the character of the surrounding single-family residential
neighborhood and will not adversely affect adjacent properties. All other applicable zoning, building, and
safety requirements will be met.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. Either the property owner or I will be present at
the Board of Adjustment meeting to answer any questions the Board may have.
Respectfully,
Zain Saleemuddin
