-The City Beautiful Commission
February 24, 1992
Dear Mr. Carpenter,
We, the members of the City Beautiful Commission would like to
compliment you and your staff for the time spent in developing
virtually single-handedly a zoning ordinance for hazardous
waste and medical waste incinerators.
Public concern for the environment has begun shaping
legislation at all levels of government; local; state and
federal. We at City Beautiful, share your concern as well as
that of our Board of Directors, that Little Rock not be left
behind.
Our purpose as the City Beautiful Commission can be summarized
in our Foreword to new members, which reads as follows:
Our environment in Little Rock is our greatest asset. In one
way or another it is the reason we came here, or we stayed.
Our physical surroundings affect us daily, whether it be a
breathtaking view of the river or the maddening frustration of
driving on streets lined with power poles and gaudy signs.
The problem of fighting ugliness and preserving the gifts of
nature are not insurmountable, but they are painful. The
Commission's job is to educate with patience those who are
unaware of the things which make our City a better place to
live, work and play.
500 West Markham, Room 108 Little Rock, AR 72201 371-4770
We understand that the Little Rock Neighborhood Coalition and
Sierra Club's input has been sought by the City Attorney's
office for inclusion into a city-wide environmental review
ordinance to be brought before the City Board in 60 to 90 days
from the January 21, 1992 City Director's meeting. In regard
to this request for input, we ask that the City Beautiful
Commission, too, be included in helping to shape this
environmental review ordinance.
Please contact our secretary, Becky Switzer or myself with
initial meeting dates and locations. We look forward to
working with the City Attorney's office in shaping the future
of Little Rock's environment.
Sincer y,
MerliJ eeamon,
n Chairman
