To whom it may concern,
We are requesting a zone change for what is currently known as Goodwin Manor, located at 3708 Garrison
Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72223, to a Planned Commercial Development.
Goodwin Manor is a European style estate uniquely built using fieldstone from Hackett, Arkansas. The
extensive ironwork was designed and installed by a Joe T. Robinson graduate, and the home's woodwork
was handcrafted by Arkansas artisans. The property is being sold along with 24 acres and will remain a
family residence, but as a secondary use of the home, we envision adding components to create a working,
regenerative farm. Over time, we plan to add a vegetable garden, an ornamental flower garden, green
house, chicken coop, a barn to house farm equipment and livestock, and a studio kitchen.
Chef Jennifer Maune plans to take on the property and live in and maintain the home with her family, but
also utilize the property to grow crops, herbs, flowers, and livestock to develop products available for her
restaurant and potentially others, along with retail use. In addition, we'd like to open the property up to
educational/agricultural field trips for public school kids, community and charity events, culinary themed
events, along with educational garden and farm tours.
Access to the property is via a private road via an easement to Garrison Road and traffic is limited. The
hours of operation will be between 9 am and 10 pm, with limited evening events and in compliance with the
Pulaski County Noise Ordinance. We will ensure ADA standards are met for parking, access and restrooms,
and that no more than 200 guests are allowed at any occasion.
With Chef Jennifer Maune's success on the show MasterChef on FOX Network, and notoriety in Arkansas
and beyond, we are excited to envision this treasure of a property as a valuable source of educational
experiences, community enrichment, and positive representation of the city of Little Rock and state of
Arkansas.
We look forward to working with you all to implement a plan, thank you for your consideration.
Best,
Andrea Goodwi Jennif Maune
