City of Little Rock
HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION
STAFF REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
PREPARED BY: V. Anne Guthrie DATE: 27 December 1999
APPLICANT: City of Little Rock
ADDRESS: MacArthur Park, east side
COA REQUEST: Construction of new restrooms
PROJECT BACKGROUND, DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS: The subject property is
located north of I-630, on the east side of the MacArthur Park, near the tennis courts. The
previous site for the restrooms was in the southern end, near the pavilion and by the pond; they
were damaged extensively by the tornado and subsequently demolished. Primarily, they are
being relocated due to the fact that park usage is more to the north. The new restrooms will be
more centrally located in the park and will be closer to the tennis courts and playground.
The new restrooms are: 35.4' in length by 22.4' wide; 16' in height; hipped 12/6 asphalted roof,
two entrances on the north elevation with glass blocks over the entries; and a combination of
stone veneer and CMV for the elevations. Each restroom (male and female) is approximately
150 square feet with an interior service area between the two.
NEIGHBORHOOD IMPACT AND REACTION: At the time of distribution, there were no
objections to this project request either in writing or by phone.

approved with the following conditions:
♦ should be project scope change in any fashion in terms of material, massing, scale,
profile and size, staff will be notified and appropriate actions taken
♦ must meet all city codes and regulations
