463-2
The Fayetteville Board of Adjustment met at 3:30 P.M., Monday,
March 6, 1972, in the Directors Room, City Administration Building,
Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Members Present: Roy Clinton, Connie Clack, J. F. Robinson,
Suzanne Lighton.
Members Absent: Carl Yates.
Others Present: William Polewchak, R. G. Charmosta, George Lewis,
Dr. Logan, Peg Anderson, Russell Purdy, Harold
Lieberenz, Pete Young, Hugh Kincaid.
Chairman J. F. Robinson called the meeting to order.
For consideration was a public hearing on Appeal No. 72-9, Road
Investment & Development Enterprises, for property located at
395 North College Avenue on an application to vary setbacks of
of building and height of sign.
R. G. Charmosta and William Polewchak were present to represent
the application. They requested permission to locate a 4 ft. by
6 ft. glass cashier's cage closer to the right-of-way of College
Avenue and Lafayette Street than permitted by ordinance. They
also requested permission to erect a canopy over gasoline service
pumps closer to the two street rights-of-way than permitted. The
service pumps would conform to the regulations. They also requested
permission to erect a ground sign that would exceed the height of
the building. The applicants did not feel the development could be
rearranged in a manner that would decrease the amount of variances
needed. The improvements would cost approximately $150,000.
Peg Anderson felt the variances requested were too many and did not
feel there was sufficient room for all they had planned. She also
questioned whether the sign might be too large in reading surface.
Russell Purdy said it seemed the City might as well not have any
restrictions, if this many variances could be granted.
APPEAL N0. 72-9
ROAD INVESTMENT &
DEVELOPMENT ENT,
395 N. College Ave.
Dr. Logan, present owner of the property, spoke in favor of the request.
Roy Clinton did not feel the variances requested were too great, but
was concerned about the location of the sign. He was concerned that
the Highway Department might increase the radius on Lafayette and
`j College and the sign might have to be moved. Mr. Lieberenz was sure
the Street Department would want at least a 30 ft. radius on that
corner. Mr. Polewchak said the sign was located to conform to the
proposed street rights-of-way and that the radii should come out
of the right-of-way. If in the future the location of the sign ever
created a safety problem, he promised to move it.
The public hearing was closed.
Chairman Robinson said that obviously the present structures on the
property have lost their utility.
Roy Clinton moved to grant the variances requested in setback of
canopy and cashier's cage (4 items). The matter was discussed further.
There was no second to the motion made by Mr. Clinton, so Mr. Clinton
made a motion that the appeal be tabled until the next meeting, March 13,
3-6-72 -2- -�
464=2
at which time the Board could bring it up again. He informed
Mr. Charmosta and Mr. Polewchak it was not necessary for them to
come back for that meeting. Suzanne Lighton seconded the motionis '
to table the appeal. The motion to table was approved unanimously,
Suzanne Lighton requested the minutes of February 28 be changed to
read '1. . . .this would be the only free-standing sign within the
entire project." in the last sentence of the second paragraph instead
of reading ". . .this would be the only free-standing sign for the
project as a whole." Otherwise, the minutes were approved as mailed.
The meeting was adjourned at 5 P.M.
