Bryan Walker. the members prior to this The meeting was called to order by Chairman John I. Smith. The minutes of the special meeting of May le, 1962, were approved as mailed to the members prior to this meeting. The first application to be considered by the Board of Adjustment was that of Mr. and Mrs. Ted Williams. Mr. Carlos Hill was present to represent Mr. Williams' application. The variation requested by Mr. Williams to the Zoning Ordinance is for the use of the property located at 1416 West Sixth Street. This property is located in a C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial District. Due to some misunderstanding Mr. Williams converted part of his residential building at 1416 West Sixth Street into a grocery stroe sometime in April of this year. The conversion was done without the owner securing the proper certificate of occupancy and other permits required by the city ordinances. Also Mr. Williams later enclosed . an existing front porch in which he plans to sell ice cream. There is approximately 19 feet from the front of the building to the street. The Zoning Ordinance requires commercial buildings in this area to beset back 40 feet if "off the street" parking is permitted between the building and the street. West Sixth Street has a 70 -foot right of way and as a result there is approximately 19 feet from the street line to the actual black topped road in addition to Mr. Williams' front yard. Mr. Williams is requesting that he be permitted to use the front part of his lot for "off the street" parking. Mr. Smith inquired about the covered length of road ditch. Mr. Williams replied that the road was tiled and covered so that cars could drive onto his lot. Mr. Hill asked about the location of the covered tile. It was determined that about 50 feet of the road ditch was tiled and covered; therefore there was plenty of room for cars to pull in and out of Mr. Williams' front yard. Mr. Schiewetz asked Mr. Lieberenz about the number of parking spaces required by Mr. Williams. Mr. Lieberenz said that only 2 or 3 spaces would be necessary as only approximately 600 square feet of the building is being used for commercial purposes. Air. Pennington asked if cars could be parked in back of the store. Mr. Williams said that cars could be parked behind the store if it were necessary. Mr. Lieberenz mentioned that Mr. Williams planned to purchase the property west of his lot if he could. Mr. Williams said he still planned to buy the property if the owners • would sell and the price was reasonable. Mr. Hill was concerned about the maximum number of cars parked in front of the store during the day. Mr. Williams told the Board that three cars was the maximum number at any one time during a day. 54-2 Board of Adjustment Minutes of July 13, 1962 Mr. Lieberenz asked Mr. Williams if he still planned to sell ice cream and • pointed out that the parking problem might be increased should he sell ice cream. Mr. Williams said he would like to sell ice cream if he could. There was no further discussion, and the applicant was dismissed. The second applicant to appear before the Board of Adjustment was Mr. J. S. Hinton. The variation requested by Mr. Hinton to the Zoning Ordinance is for the use of property located at 519 West Dickson Street. This property is lo- cated in a I -1B Industrial District of the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and is known as part of the northwest corner of Block 7 of the Original Plat to the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mr. Hinton proposes to build another addition onto the rear of the existing structure at the Majestic Lounge Cafe. The Zoning Ordinance requires a fifteen (15) foot setback from the east property line (railroad tracks) and his pro- posed construction would be on the east property line. As Mr. J. S. Hinton had appeared before the Board of Adjustment a few months ago, the Board members were familiar with the proposed building site. Mr. Hinton pointed out that the parking lot west of the Majestic Lounge was now leased to the City of Fayetteville, Arkansas, but arrangements had been made so that Mr. Hinton would again have possession of the parking lot. There was no further discussion, and the applicant was dismissed. The third and last application was that of Mr..A. J. Miller. The variation • requested by Mr. Miller is for the use of property located at 364 Nonna- maker Drive. This property is located in a C-2 Thoroughfare Commercial Zone. The applicant requested permission for another twenty-five (25) by twenty (20) foot addition to be built onto his garage building. Mr. Miller has a building permit to build a twenty-five (25) by thirty (30) foot addition approved by the Board of Adjustment in May of this year, but he would like a larger building. This addition would .be 10 feet from Nonnamaker Drive and 5 feet from the rear (north) property line instead of the 15 feet required by the Zoning Ordinance from the street and instead of the 10 feet required from the north property line. There may be an off -the -street parking problem if this addition is built. Mr. Bryan Walker was interested in Mr. Miller's variance request. Mr. Walker's mother owns property north of Mr. Miller's property and both Mr. Walker and his mother were concerned about the drainage problem and how Mr. Miller planned to take care of the problem. Mr. Miller agreed to put a flume under the proposed building as large as the existing flume under the existing building. There being no further discussion, the applicant was dismissed. Mr. Schiewetz moved that the Board of Adjustment grant Mr. A. J. Miller's application. The motion was seconded by Mr. Robinson and passed unanimously. Mr. Robinson moved that the Board of Adjustment grant Mr. J. S. Hinton's • application. The motion was seconded by Mr. Pennington and passed unanimously. 55-2 Board of Adjustment Minutes of July 13, 1962 • After a lengthy discussion, Mr. Robinson moved that the Board of Adjustment defer action on Mr. Ted Williams} application as some of the members did not have the chance to see and study the property in question. The motion was seconded by Mr. Schiewetz and passed unanimously. There was no further business; therefore the meeting was adjourned. APPRWED: Secret DATE: I •
