Warrick,AlCP,Zoning&Development Administrator DATE: July 30, 2003 . VAR 03-22.00: Variance (Marcella Thompson, pp 437) Was submitted by Jorgensen & Associates on bebalf of Marcella Thompson for property located at 650 N. 54",Avenue. The property is zoned R-A,Residential Agricultural and contains approximately 20.7 acres. The requirement is for 200' of lot width for R-A property.The request is for 177.851 lot width (a 22.151 variance). RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested 22.15' lot width variance as shown on the attached site plan with the following condition(s): 1. At the time of development of more than one additional single family home on the subject property, infrastructure shall be installed to provide adequate lot width for all structures in accordance with current zoning regulations. ,A 1PP -A R. NN- BACKGROUND: Property description: The subject property is located between Persimmon St. and Wedington Drive on the east side of 54th Street. The property is zoned R-A, Residential Agricultural and is used for agricultural purposes. Surrounding properties are primarily residential with a mix of single family homes on large lots, agricultural property and some duplexes. Proposal: The applicant would like to build a second single family home on the subject property without having to rezone to an RSF-4,Residential single family, 4 units/acre district. K.lReportsl2003WOAREPORTS18-4-03WarO3-22 ihompson.doc August 4,2003 Board of Adjustment VAR 03-22.00(Thompson) Page 1.1 Request: The request is for a variance to the required 200' lot width for the new single family home. The property currently contains a total of 377.85' of lot width and in order to build a second principle structure, each structure must be sited in a manner that it could be located on its own individual lot as required by §164.07. 1 Ordinance Requirement Applicant's Request Lot width-R-A district 200' per single family home 377.85' for 2 single family I (a total of 400') homes (a 22.1 SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING Land Use Zoning North Single family residential R-A, Residential Agricultural South Single family residential R-A, Residential Agricultural East Single family residential (subdivision R-A, Residential Agricultural I RSF-4, approved by PC for development) Residential single family West Single family residential R-A, Residential Agricultural./RSF-4, Residential single fami!X GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Residential FINDINGS: § 156.02 ZONING REGULATIONS. Certain variances of the zoning regulations may be applied for as follows: A. General Regulations/Application. A variance shall not be granted unless and until an application demonstrates: 1. Special Conditions. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. Finding: The applicant owns two large tracts of land (approximately 20 acres combined)which are used for agricultural purposes. The development of one single family home on the currently vacant parcel is only problematic due to the lack of lot width. A property line adjustment is proposed if the variance is approved in order to make the two lots more balanced in the amount of lot width provided for each. It is necessary for the property to maintain the R-A designation because the property is currently used for agricultural purposes, so a change of zoning to a residential district with a lesser lot width requirement is not appropriate. K.-tReportsL?0031BOAREPORTS18-4-031varO3-22 ihompson.doc August 4,2003 Board of Adjustment VAR 03-22.00(Thompson) Page 1.2 2. Deprivation of Rights. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of the zoning regulations. Finding: Literal interpretation of the zoning regulations would not allow any additional principle structures on the subject 20 acre tract. The property is wider at the rear(east edge) and is narrowest along the west boundary where it adjoins 54h Street. 3. Resulting Actions. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Finding: The special conditions are inherent to the configuration of this property and are not the result of actions of this applicant. 4. No Special Privileges. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by Zoning, Chapters 160-165, to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Finding: Granting the requested lot width variance will not confer special privileges. The use of the property for residential as well as agricultural purposes as proposed by the applicant is permitted within the R-A zoning district. 5. Nonconforming Uses. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands,structures, or buildings in the same district, and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. Finding: No nonconformities were considered as a basis of the findings stated in this staff report. § 156.02 C. Consideration by the Board of Adjustment. 1. Bulk and Area. Applications for variances of bulk and area requirements shall be considered by and may be approved by the Board of Adjustment. 2. Public Hearing. A public hearing shall be held. Finding: A public hearing is scheduled for Monday,August 4,2003. 3. Findings. The Board of Adjustment shall make the following findings: a. Minimum Variance. That the reasons set forth in the application justify the K,tRepornl2003lBOAREPORTS18-4-031varO3-22 ihompson.doc August 4,2003 Board of Adjustment VAR 03-22.00(Thompson) Page 1.3 granting of the variance, and that the variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land, building, or structure. (L) Harmony with General Purpose. The Board of Adjustment shall further make a finding that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Zoning, Chapters 160-165, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood, or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Finding: The proposed variance is the minimum variance necessary to allow construction of one additional single family home on the subject property. The additional home which is proposed is in harmony with the surrounding properties and is consistent with the purpose and intent of current zoning regulations. The variance will not he injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. (2.) Reasons set forth in the application justify granting the variance, and that the variance is the minimum variance that will make possible the reasonable use of the land,building, or structure. Finding: Reasons set forth in the application justify granting the requested lot width variance. b. Conditions and Safeguards. In granting any variance,the Board of Adjustment may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conforrnity with the zoning regulations. Finding: Staff has recommended conditions for this request which are stated on page one of this report. C. No Variance Allowed. Under no circumstances shall the Board of Adjustment grant a variance to allow a use not permissible under Zoning in the district involved, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the temis of the zoning regulations in said district.

Mountain Fayetteville, AR 72701 ATT: Plaiming Department Re: Thompson Property @ 650 N. 54h Street Enclosed herewith please find a variance request for the above referenced property. The owner would like to build another house in the approximate area shown on the plat and rent her existing house to a friend or relative to take care of farm work. Her property is a 13.60-acre parcel and a 7.1 0-acre parcel for a total of 20.70 acres. The city requires 200' of frontage for A-I property. The total frontage along 54h street is 377.85'. Therefore the request is for 177.85 instead of 200' which is a variance of 22.15'. The owner has the option of rezoning her property but would prefer to keep it A-1. We would appreciate your favorable consideration of this matter. If the variance is granted we will then apply for the lot line adjustment. Thank you, David L. Joigensen, P.E.

Warrick, AICP, Zoning&Development Administrator DATE: July 3 0,2003 VAR 03-23.00: Variance (Mertins, pp 521)was submitted by Bret Park Company,Inc. on behalf of William and Allyson Mertins for property located at 24 S.Hartman Avenue. The property is zoned RSF-4,Residential Single-family, 4 units per acre and contains approximately 0.344 acres. The requirement is for a 20' rear setback. The request is for a 171 rear setback (a 3' variance) to accommodate a roof overhang on a new addition. The requirement is for an 8' side setback. The request is for a 51side setback (a 3' variance) to accommodate an existing roof overhang, discovered in the new survey. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the requested 3' side and rear setback variances as shown on the attached site plan with the following condition(s): 1. Variances shall apply only to the existing structure and the addition proposed with the site plan submitted for this request. Future additions or alterations shall comply with setback requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located. (This does not preclude future variance requests if appropriate findings can be made by the Board of Adjustment) BACKGROUND: Property description: The subject property is located in the University Heights neighborhood, west of Razorback Road and just south of Center Street at 24 S. Hartman Ave. There is currently one single family home on the property which contains 1839 s.f. Surrounding properties contain K.Teporls12003BOA REPORM8-4-03�varO3-23-mfffins.doc August 4,2003 Board of Adjustment VAR 03-23.00(Mertins) Page 2.1 single family hornes, some are located on combined lots, however most adjoining lots are of a size which is cornparable to the subject property. The existing structure is located towards the rear(cast)of the property due to the slope of the front portion of the property. Proposal: The applicant proposes to add 922 s.f. to rear of the existing structure. Request: The request is for a variance to accommodate the roof overhang of the existing structure which was constructed in the late 1960's prior to current zoning requirements. Also, a request for a variance is being sought in order to allow for a similar roof overhang on the proposed addition in order to provide architectural details which are consistent with the existing structure. Ordinance Requirement Applicant's Request Side setback (north) 8' 5' (a 3' variance for existing roof overhang) Rear setback (east) 20' 17' (a 3' variance for roof overhang of proposed addition) SURROUNDING LAND USE AND ZONING Land Use Zoning North Single family residence RSF-4, Residential single family, 4 units/acre South Single family residence RSF-4, Residential single family, 4 units/acre East Single family residence RSF-4, Residential single family, 4 units/acre West Single family residence RSF-4, Residential single family, I 1 4 units/acre GENERAL PLAN DESIGNATION Residential FINDINGS: § 156.02 ZONING REGULATIONS. Certain variances of the zoning regulations may be applied f6r as follows: A. General Regulations/Application. A variance shall not be granted unless and until an application demonstrates: 1. Special Conditions. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land, structure, or building involved and which are not applicable to other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. K.-WeportsVOOMOA REPORTM84-03�varO3-23—mfftins.doe August 4,2003 Board of Adjustment VAR 03-23.00(Mertins) Page 2.2 Finding: A structure which pre-dates current zoning regulations and sloping topography on the west side of the subject property are special conditions which are specific to the subject property and which effect the location of the proposed addition. 2. Deprivation of Rights. That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of the zoning regulations. Finding: Literal interpretation of zoning regulations would not permit the proposed addition to an existing non-conforming structure (it is greater than 25% of the original structure). 3. Resulting Actions. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Finding: The requested side setback variance is not the result of actions of the applicant, the existing structure pre-dates current zoning regulations. The proposed rear setback variance is the result of actions of the applicant however site constraints (sloping topography on the west side of the site) have led to the location of the proposed addition. 4. No Special Privileges. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by Zoning, Chapters 160-165, to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Finding: Granting the requested variances will not confer special privileges. The use of this property for a single family dwelling is permitted by right in the RSF- 4 zoning district. 5. Nonconforming Uses. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands,structures, or buildings in the same district, and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance. Finding: No nonconformities were considered as a basis of the findings stated in this staff report. § 156.02 C. Consideration by the Board of Adjustment. 1. Bulk and Area. Applications for variances of bulk and area requirements shall be considered by and may be approved by the Board of Adjustment.

The Board of Adjustment shall ftuther make a finding that the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of Zoning, Chapters 160-165, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood,or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Finding: The proposed side setback variance is the minimum variance necessary to accommodate the exiting structure which pre-dates current zoning regulations. The proposed rear setback variance is the minimum variance necessary to allow the proposed 922 s.f. addition. The existing home with the proposed addition is in harmony with the surrounding propekies and is consistent with the purpose and intent of current zoning regulations. The variances will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. (2.)

The existing structure is a single family residence occupied by the applicants and our family. The existing house is 1839 square feet and we are building an addition of 922 squar-e feet. We are requesting a variance to the north(side) setback of three feet (3')to accommodate a three foot roof overhang that was constructed on the original structure approximately 35 years ago and several years before the existing zoning code. For the addition, we are requesting a variance to the east (rear) setback of three feet(3') in order to construct a roof overhang that architecturally matches the existing structure. The addition May be built as drawn with a different (and taller and gabled) roofline in order 7to comply with the setback ordinance, however, a variance would allow an overhang that matches the existing structure and is less visually intrusive to our neighbors that share our east property line. Granting the request variance would allow an architecturally integrated addition that would be attractive to the neighborhood, respectful of our eastern neighbors and more attractive than the type of structure allowable by code.

MERTINS, JR. 24 SouTH HARTMAN AVENUE FAYETTEVILLE,AR 72701 July 18, 2003 Mr. Mike Green Chairman, Board of Adjustments City of Fayetteville 113 West Mountain Street Fayetteville, AR 72701 RE: 24 South Hartman Ave. Dear Mr. Green: My wife and I are the owners and residents of the house at 24 South Hartman Avenue. We request a variance of the setback requirements for the east side of our property and also for the north side of our property. We would like to obtain permission to build a bedrooni/bathroom addition to our existing house to accommodate our growing family and also to obtain a variance for the roof overhang that was constructed in the north side setback prior to the existing zoning code. For clarity, we will address these two issues separately. 1) Requested variance to setback requirement for north side of property. A) A special condition exists: Our existing house was constructed in approximately 1967 and has a three foot (3') roof overhang arc>und the entire house. The wall of our existing house is eight feet ten inches(8'10") from the north property line, but the roof overhang is only five foot ten inches (5'10") from the north property line. We are asking for a variance for that two foot two inch (2'2") portion of the roof that has been in place for the last thirty-five (35) years. We believe the existing structure was built prior to existing zoning or was sited on the property with an inaccurate survey of the lot. B) Literal interpretation of the setback requirement would deprive us of the use of our house as it,would require extensive and cost-prohibitive demolition and reconstruction of the existing roof C) The special conditions and circumstances do not result from our actions: The existing building, which we purchased approximately five (5) years ago, pre- dates the zoning ordinance. D) Granting this variance will not confer any special privilege denied to others. University Heights is an established neighborhood with its cown charac 03 9- VA? [Int 03-23.00(Mertins) jUL 2 1 209*e 2.7 P'.".",NNING DIV. The three foot roof overhang that surrounds our house is integral to the aestbetic design of the house and is in conformity with the char-acter and style of ti-3e neighborhood. 2) Requested variance to the setback requirement for the east side of the propert A) A special condition exists: Due to the steep slope of the west side (front) of our lot, the existing house was built toward the east (rear) property line, where the land is more level. The best location for our needed additic3n to the house is ori the southeast side of the property, based on the slope of the land and the lirnitations imposed by the structure and location of the existing house. The existing house has a three foot (3') roof overhang around the entire house. We -want to respect the integrity of the architecture by maintaining the three foot (3') overhang on the addition. Doing so will maintain uniformity bet,ween the existing house and the addition, which would be a rnore attractive addition to the neighborhood. Finally, by right, we could build -the addition as dra,wn, but with a different and taller roofline, which would be less attractive for the addition and less attractive to our eastern neighbors. B) The literal interpretation of the ordinance would deprive us from building a roof overhang that matches our existing house and would require us to build a taller and gabled roof that would have a negative impact on our eastern neighbors. Q The special conditions and circumstances do not result from our actions: The slope of the lot and the location of the existing house required -the addition to be placed in the southeast corner of the property. Had the existing house been more typically situated in the middle of the lot, the proposed roof overhang would not be an issue. D) Granting the requested variance to the rear setback will not confer on us any special privilege that is denied to others. The neighbors and the neighborhood will be well-served by the architecturally consistent addition with a low roofline that is more respectful of our eastern neighbors than the roof structure we would be required to build if this variance was denied. We respectUly ask that you approve our request for a variance of the setback requirements. We are committed to building an attractive and thoroughly integrated addition to our existing house. Thank you for your consideration of our request.

That literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning regulations would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of the zoning regulations. Finding: Literal interpretation of the zoning regulations would not allow the proposed addition and would create a very difficult situation for further developing the property. The slope makes the relation of entrances, driveways and access to each level of the structure with regard to the grade of the site critical. 3. Resulting Actions. That the special conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Finding: The special conditions relating to this property were not the result of actions of the applicant. 4. No Special Privileges. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by Zoning, Chapters 160-165, to other lands, structures, or buildings in the same district. Finding: Granting the requested variances will not confer special privileges. The use of this property for a single family dwelling is permitted by right in the RSF- 4 zoning district. 5. Nonconforming Uses. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands,structures, or buildings in the same district, and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.
