TO: Charles Toland, Permits Administrator
FROM: V. Anne Guthrie, Historic Preservation Administrator
DATE: i November 2000 �" •_
SUBJECT: Permit for 507 East 8th Street
This memo serves as administrative approval from the Little Rock Historic District
Commission (LRHDC) allowing the contractor for/property owner of 507 East 8th Street
permission to obtain a permit. I understand that the permit is to replace an asphalt shingle roof
with the same material roof and to repair the front retaining wall with same -kind materials. Since
the structure is located within the MacArthur Park Historic District, exterior work comes under
the LRHDC's jurisdiction. Routine maintenance is allowed within the local ordinance historic
district with administrative approval, and re -roofing and general repair work is classified as
routine maintenance. The repairs should be performed in conformance to the structure:
♦ the proposed work will not alter the existing footprint, outline, profile,
composition or change the configuration
♦ there will be no change to the roof slope and no introduction of new
architectural detailing or materials
♦ the work will duplicate the existing in terms of shape, configuration, details,
profile and materials
As such, and meeting all city, building and health regulations, the application for a permit should
be approved. If exterior changes or improvements are made that require a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA), staff will be notified and appropriate actions taken for a public hearing.
Refer to the application instructions or the Design Review Guidelines: MacArthur Park
Historic District for necessity of obtaining a COA.
