Pending the filing fee payment, your applica Ɵon will be heard at the November 2, 2023 public hearing. Our department received your check for the Historic District Commission filing fee by the filing deadline; however, we are unable to deposit the check because it was made out to “Planning & Development Dept Hannah Ratzlaff”. I can extend the deadline for the filing fee if you could provide another check made out to “City of LiƩle Rock Planning & Development”. If you could also provide a return envelope, I can mail back the first check. Please follow instrucƟons exactly for public noƟficaƟon requirements as outline in the COA applicaƟon document. Remember to send staff a copy of the completed public no Ɵce leƩer with the correct public hearing date, locaƟon, and Ɵme and with a signature from the applicant. The public no Ɵce leƩer must be legible and reflect the full scope of work for the requested project. AddiƟonally, remember to provide staff with the list of addresses obtained from a licensed abstractor before sending the cerƟfied leƩer to surrounding property owners. If you have any quesƟons about requirements for providing public noƟficaƟon or the general applicaƟon process, please contact staff.

Hi Hannah, 3 Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it to the hearing – I’m all the way in northwest Arkansas. However, the homeowner plans to aƩend. What’s the address for that dpt? I’ll overnight the check today. Please use the plans that are aƩached in the portal. I’ll share them here as well, in addiƟon to the solar proposal.

There are a couple things missing before I can schedule it for our November agenda.  Authorized RepresentaƟon: If you intend to represent the property owner at the scheduled Historic District Commission public hearing, you will need to complete and submit the AuthorizaƟon of RepresentaƟon Affidavit found on page 6 of the applicaƟon. This document must be notarized.  Filing Fee: The $100 filing fee needs to be paid to the Planning & Development Department and can be cash or check. This must be received by the October 2nd filing deadline.  SubmiƩal Documents: We will use the documents you submiƩed in our permit portal. Would you like to submit any addiƟonal informaƟon or documents for this applicaƟon? AddiƟonally, could you provide more informaƟon on the main service panel and other exterior units to be installed on the exterior façade of the structure? What will be installed and how? Staff is mainly looking to assess the physical and visual impact to the structure and what measures will be taken to reduce this impact.

If you’ve called me yesterday, I’m in the process of going through voicemails a Ōer being out unexpectedly. I also wanted to give you the update that Linda Porterfield with Shine Solar (Shine Air) has gone through the process to receive administraƟve approval for the HVAC project at 1402 Commerce. That being said, you do not need to include an HVAC request in your solar panel applicaƟon since it has already been processed and approved.
