Because your rental property is located within the MacArthur Park Historic District, any changes in the building's exterior design or materials must receive prior approval by the Historic District Commission. If you do not contact me immediately upon receipt of this letter, this matter will be referred to the Office of the City Attorney. To avoid legal action, you must either remove the air conditioner units immediately or apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness and meet all requirements of notice and hearing before the Historic District Commission. Since your Certificate of Occupancy was contingent on your promise to remove the air conditioner units, a copy of this letter is being forwarded to Building Codes Manager Charles Givens to place him on notice that the Certificate of Occupancy should not be issued. You are urged to contact this office as soon as possible to be informed of what is required. Sincerely, Charles Bloom Historic District Staff City of Little Rock Department of annmg and DevelopmentPlanning Zoning and 723 West Markham Subdivision Little Rock, Arkansas 72201-1334 (501) 371-4790 FAX COVER SHEET DATE: TO: �-eIG C� COMPANY: FAX NUMBER: PHONE NUMBER: FROM: DIVISION: FAX NUMBER: O1) 399-3435 PHONE NUMBER: (501) 4 6 TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES INCLUDING COVER SHEET: Ll COMMENTS: Interoffice Memo Date: 3/16/2005 To: Debra Weldon, City Attorney's Office Cc: Tony Bozynski, Planning and Development From: Charles Bloom RE: 420 East Ninth Street Priority: [Urgent] This is in regards to the sign for the Macarthur heights Apartments at 420 East Ninth Street. The Sign is located within the Macarthur Park Historic District. All signs are suppose to be reviewed by the Historic District Commission in order to protect the integrity of the district. On December 14, 2004 Brian Gray, represent PDIC Investments applied for a four foot tall by three foot wide non illuminated sign for his seven unit apartment complex. The sign permit was granted (permit #23899G) and the fee of $50.00 was collected. The applicant did not apply for a Certificate of Appropriateness as required in the Historic District. Since that time Historic District Staff has received several complaints from area property owners about the signage prompting us to look into the matter further. Upon further investigation Historic Commission Staff visited the site and noted that the sign was indeed in place. The sign that is now on the property is one that would have most likely NOT been approved by the Commission because of its lettering and design. The Historic District Staff is wondering what we can do to remedy this situation. Can his permit be revoked or do they get to keep the sign? Please let us know shortly.
