VARIANCE REQUEST: Pulaski County Special School Dist.
Chairman Brannen related the proposal of a new class room at
Jacksonville Jr. High. He pointed out that the area is zoned R-0
which supports a 35-foot front yard setback, 25-foot rear and 5-
foot side.
Mr. Jerry Holder, representing Pulaski County Special School
District stated that construction of a six classroom building
parallel to the existing 100 wing is proposed on the south property
end. He related that the contractors indicated that this concept
would be ideal for the purpose of team teaching deemed necessary
through the combination of the two Jr. High Schools. He related
that instead of the minimum 35-foot setback, the building setback
request is for 15 feet. He stated that due to the orientation of
the building and street line the setback will increase as you move
toward the end of the building bringing the building further away
from the right-of-way line. Leaving only one point of the building
at the requested 15-foot setback line. He pointed out that an
already existing building exhibits a 15-foot setback.
City Engineer Reel stated that the existing 15-foot setback has not
created any visibility problems. It was noted that the layout
presented to the Board actually shows the setback at 18 feet.
It was noted in general discussion that the building will face the
1
one parallel in front and will not allow access from the rear of
the building facing the street thus helping to direct traffic flow

setback) be granted. MOTION CARRIED.
