Ted and Beverly Seal told the board they had removed an old shed and planned to replace it on a concrete slab. \"The shed that we would like to build is 8 feet longer than the one we took down,\" Beverly Seal said. She told the board the new building would run parallel to the property line and would not be any closer to the property line than the previous structure.

Board members asked whether the shed could be shifted so the rear of the building lines up with the rear of the house; the Seals indicated that was feasible. Monica, city staff, confirmed the back property line alignment referenced by members. The applicant's contractor (represented in the meeting by a contractor and by Easley) said the contractor would guarantee the work.

A motion for the variance was made and seconded. The board took roll call: Member Miles, Member Lucas, Member Bailey and Member Maples voted yes and the variance was approved. Members discussed adding a condition in the motion to pull the shed back to align with the lot and the house; the motion and the board's comments indicate the board expected the applicant to reposition the building in line with the house's rear alignment as part of approval.

Speakers noted the property backs onto a drainage area and is behind a privacy fence; the replacement shed is not expected to obstruct neighbors' views. The transcript does not record any additional conditions, permit fees or a specific date for construction to begin.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Jonesboro - Board of Zoning Adjustments on 2025-02-18 1:30 PM - Feb 18, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Board of Zoning Appeals approved a setback variance for a replacement shed at 2204 Shoshone after the applicant agreed to shift the new structure to align with the back of the house; the shed will sit on a concrete slab and is 8 feet longer than the previous building.","taxTitle","Jonesboro, Craighead County, Arkansas","taxId",3532,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6666275,"Jonesboro BZA grants variance allowing single-family house at 1328 West Huntington",1001,34000,1035000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2333243-2036f8ebc061b45e57ab675304a65263&start=34&end=1035","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2333243-2036f8ebc061b45e57ab675304a65263/thumbnail_34000.jpg","/articles/6666275/Jonesboro/Craighead-County/Arkansas/Jonesboro-BZA-grants-variance-allowing-single-family-house-at-1328-West-Huntington","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6666275-4bb5ef8b7293c3ffdacac9f662f55fa8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178782&Signature=VWiyU6XujTiYQstAsuqklGMGGd0g6QGi2idt-oY7Eg2qIIGT~8k92pQhTBFuZijJT-z3DROAm~STROoOv0wBTDM3iBWgrcvb55GL-djKDsM5uhb7FPRlLV2tXuPKWmOMii5KuvNeoj2lKwfGmHbgDz7SQBZApWjvc-6xWADvT2nFQTp7zEnEZrmaWCujyjK3H9-L2oLkZhrcV9L3Rv0xS~YcowR-q6cFz3fhotCgXjavJ3nEQO-Ud~CvuFXZN3SPYyaTIDXTWzOOV5tfH9G3nx7PAXwfl64pUXwAKEkofbYlSlxGFKP-dVvgAdeWSj-7Y8d5gHssEW-ShedvIPoaZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Zoning Appeals voted to grant a variance allowing a single-family house at 1328 West Huntington after the applicant, Weston Wagner, said the city stopped his project a month after he began work.

Wagner told the board he paid for a building permit in July 2024, started construction and completed footings and block work before the city issued a stop-work order in August. \"I paid for a permit in July of 2024. Started construction, and a month later, I got shut down by the city of Jonesboro,\" Wagner said. He said he has waited six to seven months since the shutdown and asked the board to reconsider so he could finish the house.

The matter drew several neighbors. Nate Lipsky, who said he owns the adjoining property and is a licensed real estate agent, told the board he did not object to Wagner's plan. \"I have no objection to what he's doing at all,\" Lipsky said. Dan Passmore, a property owner who described Wagner as a landlord who improves neighborhoods, said building a single-family house instead of multi-family units was an upgrade for the area.

City staff member Monica told the board that a reviewer likely misinterpreted the overlay boundary that divides Huntington and approved the permit in error. \"More than likely, it was just a mistake on our part,\" she said. Wagner told the board he had meetings with the mayor's office and staff (including Tony Thomas and Michael Morris) and exchanged emails detailing costs and communications after the stop-work order; he said the city offered to work with him but no resolution was produced.

A BZA member moved to grant the variance, saying the applicant had waited six months after the board's prior denial and the city had not worked out a solution. The motion was seconded. In a roll call, Member Miles, Member Bailey, Member Naples and Member Maples voted yes and the variance was approved.

Wagner told the board he had paid $707.25 for the permit and that footings and block work were already in place when the stop-work order was issued. He also said he holds a loan on the property and has been paying interest since closing. Neighbors and speakers argued the single-family house would better fit the block than multifamily development and urged the board to allow Wagner to continue his project.

The board granted the variance; the transcript does not record additional conditions attached to the approval or subsequent administrative steps required by the city. The applicant thanked members after the vote.","The Board of Zoning Appeals granted a variance to allow a single-family house at 1328 West Huntington after the applicant said the city issued a stop-work order a month after he began construction.
