the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District and is subject to all rules and
regulations of that district.

construction activity at 524 E 6th Street was
carried out in violation of state law requiring
that a Certificate of Appropriateness ("COX)
be obtained prior to making alterations to a
structure located in a local ordinance historic
district. Our records indicate that sidelights at
the front door were removed and covered with
plywood in violation of this COA requirement.
Have they been removed for repair or are they
to be replaced with another window? To bring
your property into compliance with state law, Sidelights at front door
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

Failure to obtain a COA and a building permit (if applicable) for the window
modifications will result in referral of this matter to the Zoning Enforcement Division of

Re: 524 E 6th Street
Dear Ms. Ross,
Attached is a letter dated March 16, 2000 that confirms that your property has a
Conditional Use permit on it for C1 uses. Also included in this package are the zoning
regulations for R-4A. R-4A will govern your use, height, and area regulations. In
addition, you may have the uses as listed in the permitted section of the C-1 zoning
district.
I have queried the state on the question of your bathroom windows. I have not received
an answer yet. I will email that to you when I receive it. If you do not hear from me in a
couple of weeks or so, jog my memory via email.

Dear Mr. Strahn:
This letter is to advise you that with the Board of Director's action on March 7, 2000, the
conditional use permit (CUP) you requested for your property will become effective on
September 7, 2000. This means that until September 7 the existing regulations exist for
your property (High Density Residential "HR"). After that date the "Low Density
Residential R4A" with a CUP will be in effect. This expands the permitted uses to
Single Family, Duplex, Multifamily or permitted neighborhood commercial "C1" uses as
defined by the Little Rock zoning code.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 371-6819.
Sincerely,
Walter Malone, AICP

Sec. 36-342.2. Rr4A low density residential.
(a) Purpose and intent. The purpose' of the
R-4A district is to protect existing developed res-
idential neighborhoods. It is intended for single-
family use with conversions to two-family units or
the addition of accessory residential units. The
R-4A district should be located in developed areas
of the city with an environment suitable for
moderate -density residential (use) and in estab-
lished medium -density residential areas where
densification may facilitate their continuation as
desirable residential areas. Accessory uses, condi-
tional uses and home occupations are permitted
as long as they do not have objectionable charac-
teristics, provided further that they otherwise
conform to the provisions of this chapter. The
district is intended to be an urban low to moderate -
density residential area, where an occasional non-
residential use adds to the overall character of the
neighborhood.
(d) Area regulations.
(1) Front yard. There shall be a front yard
setback having a depth of not less than
fifteen (15) feet. if there is an adjacent
structure which is closer than fifteen (15)

in the right -of --way.
(2) Side yard. There shall be a side yard: axi.

not less than ten (10) percent of the aver-

On the question of the bathroom windows, this is the state's response. The commission
will address a request to modify the window if you decide to do so. Lets talk before you
apply for a COA and see what we can come up with for a compromise.

Subject: RE: design question
Brian's solution works fine for built-in tubs.
It also works for clawsfoot tubs. Here the tub
can have shower
curtain(s) that encompass the entire border of
the tub, hanging from a
metal frame above in the same shape as the tub.
Depending on how far
the tub is from the wall with the window, you may
or may not need
another shower curtain over the window.
And on a final note, some folks actually prefer
baths to showers!

Y'all -
This issue has come up before - and the most logical and inexpensive
solution I have heard is to install a shower curtain that extends below
the window sill over the window unit. This will eliminate most of the
1
d
moisture -related problems. Usually these windows are tall enough that
the water won't run in above the curtain. And the curtain can be opened
occasionally to allow air to dry out any water that may get on the
interior window surfaces. The window ought to be treated like an
exterior surface - meaning caulking around the perimeter of the unit -
where the trim meets the wall - ought to be kept up. The other problem
area will be where the lower sash meets the window stool piece (the
interior "sill"). Since the window will have to remain operable,
perhaps some sort of weatherstripping, like a rubber door sweep, can be
installed there - although the curtain ought to eliminate most of this
problem also.
I have heard of others placing Plexiglas or Lexan sheets over the entire
window, but I think this creates other maintenance problems (trapped
moisture/condensat-kot between the two surfaces) and I wouldn't recommend
it. 1.
This is all assuming a Craftsman -era 4-plex has built-in tubs and not
the free standing "clawfoot" type found in buildings built earlier.

Have a person in the district that her question has stumped me.
4 plex, 6th and Sherman, on corner, craftsman two story red brick.
4 bathrooms originally had tubs only. Now they all have showers.
However, the shower rots out the wood window interior sill and the
sash. If we have her replace the window, it is just going to rot
Sort of a self defeatin% task. Who wants to take a bath when you
have a shower? One of the units has glass block, which stands out
a sore thumb.

can
like
Building code says it you do not have an operable window, you must have
a fan. So, if the window is blocked, be prepared for a fan to be
installed on the side wall through the brick or where the window is now.
The house does not 4ave shutters, so closing the window and "closing the
shutters" over the window is not an option.
So, what has the state recommended in the past? She has not filed, but
I expect her to file for a COA on this and other things in a few months.
is this list,serve question? if it is, please delete address.

Thank you for your help. We are going to take a couple of weeks off on the window decision before I pul
out all my hair.
I did want to let you know about what we are starting first in hopes that you will sign off on it. We are
going to repair and replace a few rotted boards, the broken gutters and stolen downspouts. Our next step
to paint the wood as close as possible to same color.
After this is under way, we will research solutions to the windows, front lights, and brickwork. I would
greatly appreciate you going over it with me before I meet with the board.
Thanks again,
Lisa Ross

On the question of the bathroom windows, this is the state's response. The
commission will address a request to modify the window if you decide to do so.
Lets talk before you apply for a COA anll see what we can come up with for a
compromise.
thanks.
