APPROVAL AND/OR CORRECTION OF MINUTES:

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 one parallel in front and will not allow access from the rear of the building facing the street thus helping to direct
traffic flow
