Good morning Danny,
Yes, it is the same application for an administrative approval and a commission level hearing. You can hold off on
completing the Public Notice form since this likely will be an administrative review.

Finally circling back on doing the storms windows this year. I just want to confirm that the application is the same for
the commission level approval as it is for a full hearing approval?

Good morning Danny,
I’ve located the casefile Z-9387 in our records and the CUP, as defined by the approval by the Planning Commission, is
transferable with the property. I would make sure the potential owner understands the conditions set out in Sections
4, 5, and 6 of the staff report for landscaping, the alley way access, and the sidewalk standards, just for conditions
upkeep.
Concerning the storm windows, I’ve attached the minimum requirements for administrative approval here. Let me
know if you have any questions!

Danny,
The approval is good for one year. If it goes longer than that, we could likely extend the approval as long as the
request hasn’t changed and the guidelines haven’t changed concerning the work you are doing.

Short answer is yes, but working on how we may pay for it. I do have a quote from a guy named Gentry Griffs who has
done several storm window jobs in the area. If we move forward with getting approval how long is that good for if we
don't do the work right away?

Hi Danny,
Yes, you would complete an application found here: https://www.littlerock.gov/media/17040/historic-district-
commission-2021-application.pdf. Once completed, you can email this to me along with any supporting documents
and I’ll open a case file for the request. Please read the application in full. The approval process for installing storm
windows would be a Commission level approval (see process flow chart attached).
For your future planning, I’m going to present to the Commission that we move specific projects that meet the
guidelines from a COA to a COC (staff-level) approval, like storm windows and fences. This would make it easier for
property owners to go through the process who are doing improvements that already meet the guidelines. I plan to
present this at the July 7th meeting, but it wouldn’t be voted on until the August 4 th meeting. If you submit an
application before the next filing deadline (July 5th), your COA would be heard at the August 4th meeting, and you
would be required to pay the filing fee and send out public notices to your neighbors through certified mail. If you
would like to wait on the results of the August 4th meeting to see if this type of project can become a staff-level
approval, you are welcome to. If you go this route, there would be no filing fee and no requirement of public notice,
and I would review your submission within the week. However, there is a chance that the Commission votes to keep
storm windows as a COA process and would then need to apply for a COA in August rather than now, in June. I want
to make you aware of this so that you don’t go through the COA process just to find that storm windows become a
staff-level approval right after (if the Commission approves).
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

So I have a quote for storm windows from Gentry Griffis who is apparently the local expert on storm windows. What I
need to know now is what is the approval process or how do I open a case file. I will go to the website above and
look for the application if that is the standard process?

Good afternoon Danny,
Great to talk with you today about the improvements to your home at 1402 Commerce!
Just to summarize some basic information about the MacArthur Parks Local Ordinance Historic District and the L ittle
Rock Historic District Commission:
The property at 1402 Commerce is within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District. The goal of the local
ordinance historic district is to protect and preserve the unique and valued qualities of such an area, its urban
design, architectural character, and historic materials in buildings and in landscapes. A property owner in this
district is subject to the rules and regulations as set forth by the City of Little Rock ordinances, Municipal Code
Chapter 23, Sec. 76-160, that is based on Arkansas State law. Any exterior renovation of structures, additions,
fencing, or other site features need to be either administratively approved by staff or reviewed by the Little Rock
Historic District Commission at their regularly monthly public meetings.
For information for the Historic District Commission and the MacArthur Park Design Guidelines, please visit the
City’s website: littlerock.gov
Click on Government > Planning & Development
On the right-hand menu find Boards & Commissions
Scroll down to Historic District Commission
In this section, you will find information regarding the HDC, the design guidelines and the application process.
Guidelines on window replacement and storm window can be found in Section III.
Concerning past HDC cases on storm windows, the most recent case, HDC2022-006, was approved on March 4 th,
2022. ProVia was the storm window company they used for their project/application. You can find the digital case
file through the City’s website: littlerock.gov

• Historic District
• 2020s
• HDC2022-006
There is also the case file HDC2021-009. This was approved when Brian Minyard was staff. I’m not seeing where the
product is identified specifically, which is odd, but you could likely reach out to the applicant to ask.
Let me know how I can further assist!
