Re: File No.: Z-8853-A
Dear Mr. Moore:
The owners of 315 Main Street have authorized me to amend the above referenced application
to include one Mulberry Flats sign and one Brewski's sign on the south fag.ade of the building.
We have determined that the front of the building has a height of 85 feet and 2 inches and a
width of 50 feet for a total of 4,258 square feet. A drawing is attached.
Ten percent of 4,258 = 425.8 square feet of allowable signage. The existing Brewski's sign has
16 square feet, which would leave about 410 square feet for additional signage. The owners are
requesting a trade-off to allow the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's signs, which total 20 feet by 20
feet (400 square feet), to remain on the south side.
The owners agree not to request any other wall signage on the front fagade, but want to
reserve the right to add one small projecting sign as allowed by ordinance,
Thank you for working with us on this compromise, We hope you find it to be acceptable.
Sincerely,
9 t, OcLllt,
Rett Tucker

Re: Sign Permit Application - 315 Main Street — Mulberry Flats/Brewski's
Dear Monte:
I own the Rose Building next door to 315 Main Street. My property is currently
undergoing re -development and will feature 2 restaurants — A.W. Linn's and Ira's -
and apartments on the 2"d floor.
We support the sign permit request for the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's. We
were glad to see the conversion of Club Level to Brewski's and the completion of
the apartments on the upper floors. The signage adds more color and life to the
street, whicV[s a positive for Main Street and the Creative Corridor.

Re: 315 Main Street Sign Permit Application — Mulberry Flats/Brewski's Pub
Dear Monte:
I am the manager of a group that developed the Mann Building and Mann Lofts — directly
across Main Street from the Mulberry Flats - in 2013, investing over $20 million in the process.
The project has been successful with both the office and apartments staying full. Additionally,
both Bruno's Little Italy and Samantha's Wood Grill & Tap Room have enjoyed sustained
success on the ground floor.
We were the first major development in the 300 block of Main Street and feel it has led to
more investment. That includes the Mulberry Flats that were completed at long last this past
fall. They are leasing up nicely and bring more residents to the area every day.
❑ur own ershi P grou P su pports the sin permit a p p lication for the M u I b e rry Flats and Brews ki's
Pub. We have welcomed all the new development to the block since the Mann opened. The
signage in place at 315 Main Street adds to the ambience of the street and the area, which is
good for all the property owners. I hope the staff and the BOA will approve the application.
Very truly yours,
Jimrrj M s,s

I spoke with Rett Tucker of Moses Tucker RE Thursday about the mixed use building adjoining Rose Law Firm
parking lot. If you'll recall the 315 Main Street building was formerly owned by Scott Reed & has come under
new ownership. Moses Tucker Real Estate is managing what is now known as Mulberry Flats. Moses Tucker as
you may recall has been the main driver behind the River Market redevelopment over the last 20 years. The
renaming is an understandable attempt to distance themselves from the Reed group & re -branding of the
building includes re -tenanting the nightclub with a brew pub. The apartments are @ 50% occupancy with good
interest.
The new owners painted a sign, as would have been done during the downtown heyday, under the impression it
was approved when in fact they needed to apply for it. Rett Tucker is noti Bg ATRS that they will be asking
the City of Little Rack planning department for approval of thesign is seeking ATRS's support of the
My thoughts are the si is
recommend we not oppose the signage. I have attached Moses
pictures of the signage.

The owners are interested in proposing a compromise on the signage application before the Board of Adjustment. They
need more time to determine what to propose as it relates to their historic tax credits and approval. They are working
through that now, but haven't resolved it at this time.
Can you let me know you got this email and that their deferral is allowed?

Re: File No.: Z-8853-A
Dear Mr. Moore:
The owners of 315 Main Street have authorized me to amend the above referenced application
to include one Mulberry Flats sign and one Brewski's sign on the south fagade of the building.
We have determined that the front of the building has a height of 85 feet and 2 inches and a
width of 50 feet for a total of 4,258 square feet. A drawing is attached.
Ten percent of 4,258 = 425.8 square feet of allowable signage. The existing Brewski's sign has
16 square feet, which would leave about 410 square feet for additional signage. The owners are
requesting a trade-off to allow the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's signs, which total 20feet by 20
feet (400 square feet), to remain on the south side.
The owners agree not to request any other wall signage on the front fagade, but want to
reserve the right to add one small projecting sign as allowed by ordinance.
Thank you for working with us on this compromise. We hope you find it to be acceptable.
Sincerely,
'L�4CL/1'

Thanks for the update on 315 Main.
The sign was painted on the building in 2011 or 2012 because it was required by the National Park Service and Arkansas
Department of Heritage as a condition of the historic district and tax credits. I don't remember all the details. What I do
remember is that I discuss if a permit would be needed with the building department for the signs. Once they understood
that neither of the signs would need lighting or attachments to the building and the sign would just be painted, I was told no
permit would be needed. Then we painted the sign and had no issues for 5 years.
Let me know if you think I can assist anymore with the signs.
Thanks,
SCOTIF

Subject: Part 2
Rett,
We finally got the original Part 2 from 2010 at K Lofts. If you will see in Number 16 the owners committed and the
Federal Government approved placing back signs on both the North and South facades of the building. Now The
National Park Service in their review would have looked at the historic nature of the building, that signs where on the
building through the 1980s on both sides of property, and finally the overall Historic Restoration goals of the area.
This is separate from what city code is and would approve. Scott Reed and I have spoken and he is clear that when he
went to the city to pull a permit to do the signs in 2013 they told him "painted signs of a historic nature" does not
require a permit. Now they very well could have been in error but it does not negate the fact that the signs have been
on the property for nearly 5 years in some format and that prior to that signs where on the property ongoing for nearly
80 years. One could argue they are grandfathered in on that fact alone.
The problem of removing a sign on the North side based on this Part 2 is it very well could cause the over $1,000,000 in
federal credits to be at risk.
Thoughts?

Dear Mr. Moore
December 12, 2017
The project formerly known as the K-Lofts was completed in October of this year. Because of
the prior issues related to completing the project, resulting in numerous delays over several
years, the apartments were re -named the Mulberry Flats and the food and beverage
operation, formerly a somewhat troublesome night club, was re -purposed as a
neighborhood restaurant called Brewski's Pub. Both of these changes signaled good news
for Main Street and the Creative Corridor. Moses Tucker Real Estate was hired to lease and
manage the property, recommended the name change and helped to finalize the new lease
with the restaurant. The apartments are now over 50% leased.
The K-lofts sign at the top of the building (15' X20') on both sides has been in place for
several years with proper permits in hand. It was re -painted with the Mulberry Flats logo. A
5' X 20' sign for Brewski's was added by the out of state owner, thinking that it had already
been approved. The 2 signs, which appear as one, add life and color to Main Street and
downtown. They demonstrate a vibrancy to what was once a moribund and largely deserted
corridor.
The side of the building measures an average of 71 feet by 140 feet or 9,940 square feet. As
stated above, the signs are 20 feet X 20 feet or 400 square feet. Consequently, they
represent 4.02% of both the north and south elevation of the building.
The owners respectfully request approval of the application. Thank you.
Sincerely,
u. d(-Lj-

Re: File No.: Z-8853-A
Dear Mr. Moore:
The owners of 315 Main Street have authorized me to amend the above referenced application
to include one Mulberry Flats sign and one Brewski's sign on the south fagade of the building.
We have determined that the front of the building has a height of 85 feet and 2 inches and a
width of 50 feet for a total of 4,258 square feet. A drawing is attached.
Ten percent of 4,258 = 425.8 square feet of allowable signage. The existing Brewski's sign has
16 square feet, which would leave about 410 square feet for additional signage. The owners are
requesting a trade-off to allow the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's signs, which total 20 feet by 20
feet (400 square feet), to remain on the south side.
The owners agree not to request any other wall signage on the front facade, but want to
reserve the right to add one small projecting sign as allowed by ordinance.
Thank you for working with us on this compromise. We hope you find it to be acceptable.
Sincerely,
2 4CL4,
Rett Tucker

Re: Sign Permit Application - 315 Main Street — Mulberry Flats/Brewski's
Dear Monte:
I own the Rose Building next door to 315 Main Street. My property is currently
undergoing re -development and will feature 2 restaurants — A.W. Linn's and Ira's -
and apartments on the 2"d floor.
We support the sin permit request for the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's. We
were glad to see the conversion of Club Level to Brewski's and the completion of
the apartments on the upper floors. The signage adds more color and life to the
street, whic Js a positive for Main Street and the Creative Corridor.

Re: 315 Main Street Sign Permit Application — Mulberry Flats/Brewski's Pub
Dear Monte:
I am the manager of a group that developed the Mann Building and Mann Lofts — directly
across Main Street from the Mulberry Flats - in 2013, investing over $20 million in the process.
The project has been successful with both the office and apartments staying full. Additionally,
both Bruno's Little Italy and Samantha's Wood Grill & Tap Room have enjoyed sustained
success on the ground floor.
We were the first major development in the 300 block of Main Street and feel it has led to
more investment. That includes the Mulberry Flats that were completed at long last this past
fall. They are leasing up nicely and bring more residents to the area every day.
Cur ownership„group supports the sign permit application for the Mulberry Flats and Brewski's
Pub. We have welcomed all the new development to the block since the Mann opened. The
signage in place at 315 Main Street adds to the ambience of the street and the area, which is
good for all the property owners. I hope the staff and the BOA will approve the application.
Very truly yours,
Jim Mos s

Re: File No.: Z-8853-A
Dear Mr. Moore:
The owners of 315 Main Street have authorized me to amend the above
referenced application to include only the 2 Mulberry Flats signs. These signs
were painted on the building in 2013 - almost 5 years ago. There was no objection
to them until the Brewski's signs were added last fall. At the time they were
painted on the building the owners believed that a permit wasn't required
because they are (1) historic in nature, (2) painted on and (3) not lighted. (Photo
attached)
There is even a long-time history of signs being on the sides of this building
starting in the 1910s —100 years ago. (Photos attached)
Additionally, there are numerous signs around downtown on multiple sides of
buildings. Examples:
1. Office buildings such as the Stephens Building, the Regions Center and the
First Security Center.
2. Hotels such as the Hampton Inn & Suites at 4th and River Market Avenue. It
has a sign which overlooks an adjacent 3 story building.
3. The "Fletcher's Rose Bud" sign on the back of the Arkansas Studies Institute
in CALS' River Market campus. It is considered to be art. (Photo attached)

4. The large signs on the side of the Hatcher Agency at P and Louisiana. They
are considered acceptable because the property owner also owns the
parking lot the signage overlooks. (Photo attached)
It seems like there are enough exceptions and lack of clarity about the
requirements downtown to also allow a compromise on this one. We believe the
signs add to the life and character to Main Street and don't detract in any way.
With Moses Tucker's history and investment in downtown over 30 years, we
would never support something that might be harmful in any way. Two of the
three adjacent property owners have written letters in support of the original
application. To my knowledge, the third hasn't objected to it.
Finally, there are currently only about 16 square feet of signage in place on the
front of the building. The owners are agreeable not to allow any more signage on
this elevation as a "trade-off" for approval of this application. They respectfully
request approval of the amended application.
Sincerely,
lb r u
Rett Tucker
