Dear Lena L Gabranana: 7G�
This is your second notice. The first one was sent certified mail on October 6, 2020 and I have
not heard from you.
The tax assessor of Pulaski County shows you as the owner of N 5.15' of lot 11 & all of lot 12
lot, block 44 of the Original City of Little Rock known as 900 S Rock Street. This property is
within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District and is subject to all rules and
regulations of that district.
Please accept this letter as formal notice that construction activity at 900 S Rock Street was
carried out in violation of state law requiring that a Certificate of Appropriateness ("COA") be
obtained prior to making alterations to a structure located in a local ordinance historic district.
Our records indicate that new columns and siding were installed without a current building
permit and were installed in violation of this COA requirement. To bring your property into
compliance with state law, you must either restore the original materials to the structure or
obtain a COA from the Little Rock Historic District Commission by filing an application and
fulfilling all requirements thereof. One is attached for your convenience.
If the porch beam was sagging, Staff can work with you on a solution that will not change the
appearance of the structure. If the changes were purely aesthetic, you will need to remove them
or file for a public hearing through the COA process.
Failure to obtain a COA and a building permit for the new columns and siding will result in
referral of this matter to the Zoning Enforcement Division of the City of Little Rock Planning and
Development Department for enforcement proceedings in the City of Little Rock Municipal
Court.
Please call me on my direct line at 371-4789 to get this matter resolved. If I can assist you on
getting this property on the next agenda, please let me know. Our filing deadlines are posted on
the web and are generally the first Friday of each month.
Sincerely,
Brian Minyard
