Mr, George Bowen, Mr. Harold Lieberenz, City ]Building Inspector, Mr.
and Mrs. Clinton Stout, applicants, and Mr. Bea Carkhuff, applicant.
Mr. J. F. Robinson
Mr. John I. Smith, Chairman, called the meeting to order. The minutes of the last
meeting were approved as mailed to the Board members.
The first application was that of Mrs. Clinton Stout at 273 Eastern Avenue, located ina
R2 Residential Zone and known as the North Half of Lot 7, Block 6 of Sunset Addition to
the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Mrs. Stout wished to build an addition to the rear of
her existing dwelling (West end). She is required by City Ordinance to connect her house
to the new sewer line and would like to add a little bit more room than is required while
she is in the process. Because her lot is only 50' x 72-1/2', she has very little space
in which to build. This addition, as planned, would be only 6 inches from her north
property line instead of the required 7 feet. There is a 15' platted alley on the north side
of the property. Also, the addition would be only 2-1/2' from the rear (West) property
line, rather than the 35 feet required by the zoning ordinance.
Mr. Stout stated that the family needed the sewer connection badly because his wife's
mother was ill and lived just southwest of them. After a long discussion concerning the
ownership of the lots, the Chairman ascertained that there were no further questions,
and the applicants were dismissed.

Mrs. Bea Carkhuff of Route 3, Fayetteville, presented her application for the use of the
property located at 1101 Indian Trail. The property, which is located in a R-2 Residential
District, is known as Lot 1, Block 3 of Rochier Heights Addition to the City of Fayetteville,
except a strip of land 20' x 501. Mrs. Carkhuff wished to convert a one -family residence
into a two-family residence. However, her lot was too small to provide the 8, 000 square
foot minimum lot required for a two-family residence. Mrs. Carkhuff presented a
statement from the people south of the property that they had no objection to the proposed
alteration. She stated that she and her husband lived upstairs at the present, and her
sister and her husband lived downstairs. There would be no outside work done with the
exception of some repairs to the stairway. Plumbing facilities would be put into the
upstairs apartment. After a discussion about the house's being built partly on a platted
street not yet opened, the Board agreed that there were no further questions and the applic
was dismissed.
Mr. Schiewetz made a
motion that Mrs.
CarkhufffIs application
be approved, and Mr. Bowe
seconded the motion.
The Board voted
unanimously to approve
the application.
After a long discussion concerning the Clinton Stout application, the following motion was
made by Mr. Schiewetz: That the application be approved with one of these conditions
(1) that he move the house at least 6-1/2 feet to the south or (2) any addition made to the
house must be at least 7 feet from the platted 15 foot alley on the north.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Bowen and passed unanimously.
There was no further discussion, and the Board adjourned.
