HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
4 JUNE 1998 MEETING
MINUTES
Commissioners Present:
John Bush Howard H. Gordon John Greer Julie Wiedower
Commissioners Absent: Charles Marratt
Staff Present: V. Anne Guthrie Tony Black
Guests: Judy Gardner Jason Rinehart Mark Zoeller
The meeting of the Little Rock Historic District Commission (LRHDC) was called to
order. Roll was taken, and as there was a quorum, the minutes from the May meeting
were approved.
The sole Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application was:
Applicant: Marsha Taul
Address: 1305 Cumberland
Request: Retain vinyl siding on the north elevation
Due to the absence of a witness for the applicant and a request by the applicant's
attorney, the application was deferred until the 2 July meeting upon a motion.
The meeting moved on to the New and Old Business agenda items. There was an
update about the revised landscape plan for the Arkansas Arts Center's expansion,
which came before the LRHDC in May. The revised landscape plan was submitted by
the consultant and reviewed by Commissioners Wiedower and Greer and staff. The
landscape architect in the Planning and Development permitting section reviewed the
plans and approved the changes.
This was the last meeting for Commissioners Bush and Wiedower, as both terms
expired in June. Successors for both were present and introduced: Judy Gardner as
resident and property owner; and Mark Zoeller as the Quapaw Quarter Association
representative.
Wiedower requested updates on particular items: the new construction at 1304
Cumberland (and subsequent negotiations with the owner when the approved
architectural plans were not followed); the COA for a community facility at 1310-12
Scott; Westside's rehabilitation and miscellaneous community preservation information.
There was discussion related to these issues and where the project was in terms of
construction and rehabilitation (in the case of Westside). There was a request that staff
consult the conditions that were reached for 1304 Cumberland to ensure that they were
in compliance with the regulations of the LRHDC and Capitol Zoning Commission.
As there was no other business, the LRHDC adjourned at 6:00 p.m.
