1717 Overcrest Street, application to 1717 OVERCREST STREET
vary setbacks.
Mr. J. B. Sanders was present to
represent.
The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked for comments in favor
of the requested variance. Mr..Sanders addressed the Board. He stated
he moved to Fayetteville from West Fork. There, the setback on the rear line
is 5 ft. for outbuildings. He first poured a slab for the building 5 ft.
from the property line. He discovered that would place the structure on an
easement and moved the structure and poured another slab outside the easement
at a cost of about $500.00. The previous slab is still there. He said that
moving the structure would be very expensive. The structure is outside
the easement, but Mrs. Jones has informed him he must set back 10 ft. from
the easement (20 ft. from the rear property line). He requests a variance of
9 ft. 6 inches.
Crittenden asked how far from the property line the building sits. Mr.
Sanders stated it sits 10 ft. 6 inches from the property line. Bobbie Jones
said a setback of 20 ft. is required from the rear yard.
Crittenden asked if Mr. Sanders owns both lots. He stated he does. Bobbie
Jones said that since there are two platted lots involved, they have to be
considered one parcel of property because the storage structure sits on a
separate lot from the house, and a principle structure must be placed on a lot
prior to the placement of any outbuildings.
Waldren asked if this storage structure sits on a concrete slab. Sanders
replied it does.
Crittenden asked if the neighbors on Lot 17 are aware of the structures
existence. Sanders replied they are. Bobbie Jones stated they had been mailed
an agenda.
