ITEM NO. Two.
DATE: June 10, 2013
APPLICANT: John Hofheimer
ADDRESS: 407 E 9th Street
COA REQUEST: Fence
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION:
The subject
property is located at 407 E 9th Street. The
property's legal description is "East 65' of Lots 1, 2 &3
Block 59, Original City of Little Rock, Pulaski County,
3c
Arkansas."
This Kindervarter commercial building was built in 1921.
The 1988 survey form states: "A commercial building with;
first Floor alterations." The top level is being used as a
residence. It is considered a "Contributing Structure" to
the MacArthur Park Historic District.
This application is for the installation of a Fence. The
Housing and Neighborhood Programs Department had
declared the tin building in the rear of the structure to be
unsafe. That building has been demolished, but before, it
had formed part of the containment for the back yard.
With this gone, the yard is open. A fence is desired to
keep pets in and general security.

PROPOSAL AND WRITTEN ANALYSIS OF THE APPLICATION BASED OFF OF INTENT
AND GUIDELINES:
On page 66, The Guidelines state:
3. Fences and Retaining Walls:
Iron, wood, stone, or brick fences or walls that are original to the property (at
least 50 years old) should be preserved. If missing, they may be reconstructed
based on physical or pictorial evidence. Sometimes a low stone or brick wall
supports an iron or wooden fence.
Fencing material should be appropriate to the style and period of the house.
Cast iron fences were common through the Victorian period and should be
retained and maintained. Wrought iron and bent wire fences are also historic.
Wood picket fences may be located in front, side, or rear yards, generally
following property lines. They should be no taller than three feet (36) tall,
pickets should be no wider than four inches (4') and set no farther apart than
three inches (3). The design shall be compatible with and proportionate to the
house.
Wood board privacy fences should be located in rear yards. They should be no
taller than six feet (72'), of flat boards in a single row (not stockade or
shadowbox), and of a design compatible with the structure. The privacy fence
should be set back from the front fagade of the structure at least halfway
between the front and back walls.
Chain -link fences may be located only in rear yards, where not readily visible
from the street, and should be coated dark green or black. Screening with plant
material is recommended.
Fences should not have brick, stone, or concrete piers or posts unless based on
pictorial or physical evidence. Free-standing walls of brick, stone, or concrete
are not appropriate.
New retaining landscape walls are discouraged in front yards. Certain front
Yards that are in close proximity to the sidewalk may feature new walls that
match the materials of the building and be consistent with historic walls in the
neighborhood. Landscaping walls should match the materials of the building and
be consistent with historic walls in the neighborhood.
The fence is described as a wooden dog-eared privacy fence, 6 foot tall inside the property
line. The fence will be 35 feet long on the east -west line and 17 feet long on the north south
line. Both of these fences would abut other existing fences. This would completely enclose the
backyard. The finished side of the fence would face out, with the rails being on the inside. The
fence will be sealed with a clear sealer.

This fence proposed would comply with the
guidelines for privacy fences in the rear of
structures. A temporary fence has been
erected to prevent the dog(s) from escaping
in the meantime until the COA is approved.
This fence is constructed of pre-fab panels of
the six foot dog ear wood fence placed in the
interior of the yard, not where the final fence
is to be located.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS AND
REACTION: At the time of distribution, there
were no comments regarding this application.
Tin budding that has been removed
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval with the following conditions:
1. Obtaining a building permit.
COMMISSION ACTION: June 10, 2013
Brian Minyard, Staff, made a presentation to the Commission on the item. He apologized for
not including the graphic in the agenda. He showed the graphic to the Commission and
explained where the new fence was to be located.
Debra Horne, representing the applicant, stated that there are three dogs that live in the
backyard and they need the fence to keep the dogs in and for general security reasons.
Chairman Chris Vanlandingham asked if the proposed fence would match the fence at Maxie's
(the house to the east). Ms. Horne stated that the section of fence that is 35' long would match
the neighbor's fence and would also match the fence on the east. They are proposing to fill in
the gap where the building used to be. Chairman Vanlandingham asked if they were going to
use prefab fence panels. She stated yes.
There were no citizens present to speak.
Commissioner Julie Wiedower made a motion to approve as submitted with staff
recommendation for a building permit. Commissioner Randy Ripley seconded and the motion
passed with 6 ayes and 1 absent (Johnson).
Commissioner Wiedower commented on the ghost sign that is visible on the building and asked
Staff to forward information to the applicant on grant opportunities to restore the ghost sign.
