property to the south is owned by the University of Arkansas, and the University
does not wish to dedicate additional land for street purposes. The 50 feet would

menta of Zoning Ordinance No. 1239 (Article V, Section 2 - 4) as
.requested by Bobby L. Thomas. The notion was seconded by J. A.,
Pennington and passed unanimously. .The property_eurrounding that of
Bobby Thomas is not as developed as many of the residential neighborhoods
in the City and to grant permisaion to.build upon a lot with;oniy 50
feet of street frontage'instead of the 70 feet regUrsd would;'in
the Board's opinion, be the..beginniug of a congested residential
neighborhood.

Adjustment unanimously voted to approve the application of James R.
Dotson in,which a rsquest�wae•made to build,a carport 18 feet from the
rear property line instead of.the 30 feet required in the R -1B sone by
