We, the undersigned, are REALTOR® members of the Northwest Arkansas Board of REALTORS® and other parties who have an interest in preserving the rights of private property owners. REALTORS® in Northwest Arkansas serve many clients in Fayetteville.
The City of Fayetteville is trying to pass an ordinance that could reduce driveways down to about 10' wide, regardless of the location or house size. This means that the future of 2+ car garages is in jeopardy. Along with this, they are also going to try to pass new legislation that could affect the orientation of houses in Fayetteville, requiring new homes to have a garage in the back of the house.
We oppose this legislation and need your support! Please mark your calendars and attend the next Fayetteville City Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 1st at 5:30.

A garage located at the rear of a property improves the curb appeal of a property, but is difficult to do on the lots available here which are diminishing in size it seems. Garage size and orientation should always be the home owners' choice!
This will negatively effect buyers from considering Fayetteville, Ar as a place called home. This should not be a limitation to building a new home or driveway and should be neighborhood specific as it is in most cities. This should not be a citywide ordinance.
I can’t begin to understand why Fayetteville would do this!!! I would believe it would hurt the market!! What family wants a single car garage- the logistics of having to move cars around since we aren’t allowed to park in the street would be a nightmare
I am strongly opposed to this proposed ordinance. Limiting the size of the driveway will create congested streets with parked cars. As an alternative, cars could be parked in yards and I know in my neighborhood, that would not go over well.
Not the right thing to do. This will create parking issues for families with multiple cars. Driveways are also used as play areas for children and adults. How would this marry up with 2 and 3 car garages? what purpose or reasoning would this even serve?
Hey I like your site and I hope we can connect! I have a TON of experience working with local businesses generating more traffic for their websites. I'd love to offer some of my time to you and show you how I can help. Please give me a call or text 718-673-9411. - Nick
I strongly oppose the propose mandate controlling garage/driveway widths in Fayetteville.

I don't feel this type of restriction is good for the potential homeowner in regards to long term values/ re-sale, etc. and an unfair burden on a builder or developer. Their product has to compete with surrounding communities.
