It is looking good thus far!
Storm windows would be a good solution. Exterior storm windows require approval by the Commission. Interior storm
windows or putting your bars back up and painting them a different color, would not require a commission hearing.
We have a deadline next Monday if you want to file.

Hi Brian (and Tom),
The project at 923 McMath Ave in Downtown Little Rock is coming along, albeit slowly. We have
completed the process of repairing and rebuilding the original wood windows. Initially there
were bars on the windows that I thought significantly detracted from the
house’s appearance. My plan was to remove the bars and leave the rebuilt
windows exposed. Unfortunately we have had a couple of break ins in the past couple of
weeks that have caused me to rethink the window situation there and the security of the future
tenants.

For better energy efficiency and ultimately to improve security and window protection, I would like
to install storm windows. I have found a contractor to build and install them. This contractor is the
same one who built and installed the storm windows at 1221 S. Louisiana St. in downtown Little
Rock. I propose to do the same thing at 923 McMath Ave. This is a picture of what they would look
like.

Please advise if this would be permissible. There’s a 10 week lead time and, if approved, I’d like to
get the order placed as soon as possible.
Thank You,
