MINUTES OF A BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING
The Fayetteville Board of Adjustment met at 10:00 A.M., Monday,
October 19, 1970, in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
•
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Members Present: J. F. Robinson, J. F. Palmer, Roy Clinton, Suzanne
Lighton.
Members Absent: Carl Yates.
Others Present: Harold Lieberenz, Mrs. Bill Graue,
Chairman Robinson called the meeting to order.
The Board met to consider the application of Bill Graue for a variance
on property at 1644 Ramsey Avenue and to hold the public hearing on
this application. Mrs. Bill Graue represented the application. She
stated the slab floor is all poured and the framing is up. There are
bedrooms behind the carport. The carport will not be solidly enclosed.
Part of the carport roof has already been put up. There is a front
overhang of about 18 inches. Construction was advanced on the
building when the Building Inspector realized it was too close to the
street. Mrs. Graue said her carport probably extended out a little
further than the house to the South does. The dwelling, as under
construction, is only 19 ft. from the street ROW rather than the
25 ft. required.
Mr. Lieberenz told the Board that although the letter said the total
setback required by the City should be 30 ft., research has proved
that the Major Street Plan was not being enforced for minor residential
streets until 4 days after this permit was issued. This subdivision
was platted out with a 40 ft. street. This was necessary due to the
location of houses already built prior to subdividing. Mr. Lieberenz
pointed out how difficult it sometimes is to locate the front property
line. Apparently Mr. Graue had measured from the street curb line.
All the houses on the West side of the street are closer to the street
than the ones on the East side, and one under construction on the West
side is no farther back than Mr. Graue's. Mr. Graue built two houses
on the West side; the houses themselves are 25 ft. back, but he has
built a porch on each which is 7 ft. or so closer to the street.
No opposition was present. The public hearing was closed.
Roy Clinton made a motion that the variance be granted but asked that
Mr. Lieberenz warn Mr. Graue to be very careful in the future, He
stated he made the motion reluctantly. Miss Lighton seconded. It was
approved unanimously.
The minutes of October 12, 1970 were approved as mailed.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50 A.M.
