VARIANCE(S): a. Front Yard Setback Variance 108 Revere Court
City Engineer Adam Whitlow stated this request is for a variance from a 35’ front setback to 31’, due to the encroachment into the platted building line of a metal carport. He does not
think this is a setback issue, but is a platting issue. He explained since the 25’ setback requirement is below the 31’ requested, they technically meet code, but do not meet the subdivision
requirements of the plat. He believes they require a replat, which could require an amendment to the Bill of Assurance, which could require 51% of owners’ signatures. He confirmed the
City cannot vary from the developer’s rules. He recalled this being platted when the setback requirement was 35’, noting if a developer chooses 50’ setbacks, the City has no right to
grant a variance from that. He related that his Staff needs to research in order to guide the applicant to the right process. He recommended this Board not take any action at this time.
Engineer Whitlow concurred when City Clerk Davitt requested any such replats come before the Planning Commission.
b. Rear Yard Setback Variance 127 Central Avenue
The public hearing opened at approximately 6:15 p.m.
Arkansas Homes and Rentals Project Manager Colby Ferguson stated this is the same house plan they have been building in Sunnyside, noting they need the rear yard setback to be reduced
from 25’ to 14’.
Commissioner Sansing recalled that City Council knew when they sold these lots that they would get a lot of variance requests on them.
Engineer Whitlow explained these are non-conforming lots with 86’ depth, so the plan they are building is not an overbuild of the area at all.
The public hearing closed at approximately 6:18 p.m.
Commissioner Twitty moved, seconded by Commissioner Sansing to approve a 14’ rear yard setback at 127 Central Avenue. MOTION CARRIED.
ADJOURNMENT: Without objection, Chairman Oakley adjourned the meeting at approximately 6:19 p.m. MOTION CARRIED.
Respectfully,
