The Board of Zoning Adjustments met on March 17, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the Municipal Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The board approved the minutes from the previous meeting and considered three variance requests.
Let's call this thing to order. Roll call, please. Good morning. Here. Billy. Have a motion to approve the minutes. So moved. All right. Second. Thank you. All in favor? All right. Horizon land survey LLC on Dameron Drive. Come on up and tell us what's going on. All right. I'm Danny Burns with Horizon Land Surveying. And here to represent Mr. Clayton on this one, but uh it's kind of a unique situation. We got a piece of property that's pre-existing. We're just trying to get a minor plat so it can get approval for a building permit. And the right-of-the-on Dameron Drive, but it's my understanding after talking with you know different folks that we don't know if Dameron Drive is public right-of-way or kind of what's going on in that situation. Um talked to some people in the area and they say that it was probably paid with the MATA project back in the late 1990s to early 2000s. But just kind of we don't know where the city stands at on as far as that road goes being public right away. Yes, Dameron Drive. Yes, and there's a this will be the third structure, I believe that's maybe the fourth that's got access off of that road. Yes, it's gonna be in the flood zone. We're gonna try and do adequate dirt work, get it removed. Not gonna be too close to property lines or anything like that. No, sir. What is the do you know the status of uh Dameron Drive? Um we know that it was paved with MATA funding of the late 90s. Um it was probably never um dedicated its right-of-way. Um but um when it came into the city, of course, we accepted what was there. Now, of course, we all know that unless a judge you know declares it it the right of way is not actually there, it's just you know so we um we really don't have a lot of information on it. We don't figure it's a public street, but it's being used for a public street. Is there any other driveways off of it? There's yeah, for that 4116, then there's also a driveway at the it dead ends into a driveway for 4121, and then 3129 on the corner has access off of it. I don't have the records, but uh Daryl, do you know if it was signed in under a petition back whenever they did the petitioning for all the county roads that got annexed in? Don't know. I don't 98 when that was it 1998 when that predicts that's kind of our guess. That's just kind of the time for the years we've been looking around is that all's right there past this property line. And all the surveys and you know work that we found in that area they they're showing is dedicated at 20 feet is what the right-of-way is right now with all the survey records. Did you say this was going on 4115? Yes, sir. Okay. Anyone here object to this ask proposal? Ask a variance. Harold, can we can we give a variance on a right-of-way that city didn't have you can give a variance on having to have the required right-of-way for a to get a building permit? Okay, um, they are dedicating right-of-way along their frontage. So you can um, but um, you know, basically you've got a prescriptive right-of-way out there right now.
