MINUTES OF A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING 378 -2' -
The Fayetteville Board of Adjustment met at 10:15 A.M. in the
.i. Directors Room of the City Administration Building, Fayetteville,
Arkansas, on Monday, July 13, 1970.
Members Present: J. F. Robinson, Suzanne Li.ghton,
Members Absent: J. F. Palmer, Carl Yates, Roy Clinton.
Others Present: Dewey Dark, Buster Carson, Harold Lieberenz,
Tom Holt, John Lineberger.
The Board met to consider the application of Trinity United
Methodist Church, 1642 North Garland Avenue (Garland and
Sycamore) for a variance on side setback. The Church desires TRINITY UNITED METHODIST
to expand their present building to the West, building along CHURCH
the same line as the existing building. The existing building 1642 North Garland
is 7J feet from the South property line. The building permit
was obtained in April, 1960. The existing zoning regulations
at that time, Ordinance No. 1002, required that buildings in
the "C" Residential District have a side setback of only 5 feet.
Since only two members of the Board were present, it was
impossible for any action to be taken; however, the two members
present asked that the petitioner and opposition state their
cases. Dewey Dark, Pastor of the Church, and Buster Carson
represented the application.
Tom Holt, an adjoining property owner, and his attorney, John
Lineberger, opposed the application. Mr. Holt felt the property
line might be in question. He stated he has had his pro arty
surveyed and feels the present building is closer than 7� feet
to the property line. After a,discussion, Rev. Dark conceded
that a small roof overhang over a stairwell into the basement
probably is no more than 3 feet off the property line.
Miss Lighton asked Mr. Holt if he would object to the expansion
if a survey could pinpoint the property line and the building
itself was at least 7 feet from the property line. Mr. Holt
stated he would as he felt this would decrease the value of his
property. He has a 70 ft. wide lot. It runs 190 feet deep.
His daughter would like to rebuild on the lot sometime in the
future. He said a hedge more or less follows the property line
with some slight deviations. His house is on the front portion
of his lot very close to his North property line. A fenced dog
yard is on the back portion.
Rev. Dark felt the building should not bother Mr. Holt as it
would be located 80 feet off the street and the portion which
would be 7J feet off the property line would be 150 feet off
the street.
Mr. Robinson suggested the Church property be surveyed and show
location of present building and proposed building and their sizes.
Since no quorum was present the meeting was adjourned until 10:00 A.M.,
# Monday, July 20. Time of adjournment was 10:50 A.M.
*rescheduled for Monday, July 27, at request of petitioner.% ,,,,,;,"Y��
