MEMBERS PRESENT:
MEMBERS ABSENT:
OTHERS PRESENT:
Board of Adjustment met at 3:30 P.M., Monday, August 5, 1974,
Room, City Administration Building, Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Connie Clack, James White, David Newbern.
Carl Yates, Suzanne Lighton.
Leta Fay Brown, Don Bateman, Bobbie Jones.
In the absence of Chairman Carl Yates, Vice-chairman James White called the
meeting to order.
Vice-chairman White opened the public hearing on Appeal No. 74-21,
Mrs. Leta Fay Brown, 522 Mission Boulevard, on an application to
vary setbacks.
Mrs. Brown and Don Bateman were present to represent the appeal.
Mr. Bateman, the contractor, explained the request to erect a patio cover which he
said would go directly behind the house and would not extend beyond the wall of the
house which is 4 ft. from the South property line rather than the 8 ft. required by
ordinance.
Mrs. Brown admitted she did not know exactly where her South property line was and
had discussed the location of the property line with the neighbor to the South. She
said they had agreed to each mow halfway between the houses so she was mowing more
than 4 ft. She said she had had a written statement from that neighbor to the effect
that she did not oppose the variance on the patio cover, but could not find it.
Mrs. Brown said she needs the cover over the patio because water runs in on the
patio and stands. She said it is difficult to sweep off and she fears that it will
ice over in the winter time.
Connie Clack asked about some work being done on the South side of the house which
she said appeared to be a wall. Mr. Bateman said this is just a retaining wall.
Mrs. Brown explained this retaining wall is to divert rain off the patio, and that
it will not be a wall.
The Board recalled that when Mrs. Brown was before them in January, 1973, there had
been some neighbors present to oppose. Planning Administrator Bobbie Jones said
that the neighbors had been notified of the hearing, both by direct mail and by the
posting of a sign on the property, and that she had not received any comments.
Mrs. Brown explained that the opposition in 1973 had been directed against the
carport she had requested at that time. She did not feel the neighbor who had
opposed the carport would be affected by the patio cover.
There was no one present to oppose the application.
The public hearing was concluded.
S 2e/
APPEAL 74-21
Leta Fay Brown
522 Mission Blvd.
David Newbern stated he was aware that this matter has apparently gone on for some
time and that it has caused some problems in the past, but that he felt the problems
were over the carport. He added that if anyone wanted to object they have had an
opportunity to object.
Mr. Newbern moved to grant the variance on Appeal 74-21, Leta Fay Brown, APPEAL 74-21
as requested. Connie Clack seconded the motion which was approved unanimously.
The minutes of the July 22, 1974 Board of Adjustment Meeting were MINUTES
approved as mailed.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:50 P.M.
