Here is the language from the state law: 14-172-208. Certificate of appropriateness required -- Definition. (a) (1) No building or structure, including stone walls, fences, light fixtures, steps, and paving or other appurtenant fixtures, shall be erected, altered, restored, moved, or demolished within an historic district until after an application for a certificate of appropriateness as to exterior architectural features has been submitted to and approved by the historic district commission. The municipality or county shall require a certificate of appropriateness to be issued by the commission prior to the issuance of a building permit or other permit granted for purposes of constructing or altering structures. A certificate of appropriateness shall be required whether or not a building permit is required. (2) For purposes of this subchapter, "exterior architectural features" shall include the architectural style, general design, and general arrangement of the exterior of a structure, including the kind and texture of the building material and the type and style of all windows, doors, light fixtures, signs, and other appurtenant fixtures. (b) The style, material, size, and location of outdoor advertising signs and bill posters within an historic district shall also be under the control of the commission. 14-172-210. Certain changes not prohibited. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior architectural feature in the historic district which does not involve a change in design, material, col-or, or outer appearance thereof; nor to prevent the construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, or demolition of any such feature which the building inspector, or similar agent, shall certify is required for the public safety because of an unsafe or dangerous condition; nor to prevent the construction, reconstruction, 2 alteration, restoration, or demolition of any such feature under a permit issued by a building inspector, or similar agent, prior to the effective date of the establishment of the historic district. The city ordinance mirrors this language. This changing of the sign to reflect the new occupant changes the design, color, and outer appearance of the sign. The new sign will require a sign permit from the city. Sorry, but the sign has to go through the COA process. We have required other applicants the do the same.

Lyndsey, was the plan to mount your new sign to the existing white board there, or replace that part of it? The reason I am asking questions is I want to know if changing out the center of an existing mounted sign constitutes the need to apply and go through the approval process for signage, and so I can properly advise other easement property owners with signs as to what procedure to follow. > > Cheers, > Paul > > Paul Porter > Technical Services Coordinator/Conservation Easement Coordinator > [cid:image003.jpg@01D20DA5.8AD9A510] Arkansas Historic Preservation > Program a division of the Department of Arkansas Heritage > 1100 North Street | Little Rock, AR 72201 > office: 501.683.6672 3 > fax: 501.324.9154 > ArkansasPreservation.com<http://arkansaspreservation.com/> > Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/ARHistoricPreservation> | > Twitter<https://twitter.com/SavingARPlaces> > #AuthenticArkansas > #ArkansasPreservation > [County Courthouse Logo-Small] > > From: Minyard, Brian [mailto:BMinyard@littlerock.gov] > Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2018 10:34 AM > To: Lyndsey Dilks > Cc: Paul Porter > Subject: RE: 1008 Cumberland - Sign update > > My mistake, I signed the roofing COC last year. > > Yes, you need an application for a new sign. Here is a link to the Guidelines: https://www.littlerock.gov/for- businesses/planning-and-development/boards-commissions/local-ordinance-district/ Section VII E of the guidelines deals with signs. The ordinance states that you must receive a COA before a sign permit can be issued. > > I am busy till 2:30.

Here is a link to the application page. https://www.littlerock.gov/media/1774/historic-district-commission-application-2016.pdf The application deadline is March 9th for a hearing on April 9th. You will need to start the title/abstract company now to get the property owners names and addresses.

The choice seems to be between the red band being on the address or on “The Lash Queen”. Either way, it looks great. I think since it is going to be mounted on the same posts and will be the same dimensions as the existing signage that it is a non-issue for me. Brian, do you need an official ok from me? As for paint colors, that is up to your personal taste from the easement perspective. I don’t know if the city has guidelines on that. > > Have your roofers finished the project yet?

I have attached a couple of drafts that the designer sent over. We plan to use the existing sign structure. These three signs will be affixed to the structure. At least that is my understanding. That is how it was done by the previous owner. Do these proofs meet the easement guidelines? If not, please let me know what needs to be done to be within the guidelines. > > Also, I intend to paint the front door the same color as the windows, a burnt red.
