Commissioner Julie Wiedower made a motion that the COA be approved with a condition that an
application for a building permit be made within ninety (90) days of the LRHDC's approval.
Commissioner Carl Menyhart seconded the motion; a vote was taken, and it was unanimous that
the COA be conditionally approved (NOTE: the ninety -day condition period expires October 9).
The second agenda item was the COA application for the fire station's rehabilitation at 524 East
Ninth Street. Architect Don Renshaw presented the proposed rehabilitation of the station and
explained the project's scope; the rehab work increases the density of the fire station by going
from one to two-story and increasing the number of bays from two to five, while staying within
the building's footprint. Renshaw presented graphics of a street perspective of the structure's
elevation alongside adjacent buildings. The plan is a two -storied structure of red brick with a
metal -seamed roof. The bays are retained along the structure's south elevation with paned -doors
for the bay openings. The windows on the second story are reminiscent of the Craftsman style,
with a nine -paned sash over a single -sash. Handicapped accessibility is provided on the east
elevation. The plans were reviewed by the Quapaw Quarter Association and the Arkansas
Historic Preservation Office, both of which were complimentary of the architectural style of the
rehabilitated fire station fitting into the historic district in a sympathetic fashion.
A property owner to the north of the fire station stated that he was interested in the north facade
of the structure in terms of massing, openings, etc. There was discussion about the existing
outbuilding on the northwest corner and whether it would remain; it was explained that the
outbuilding would remain at its existing site but with a new roof. The chain link fence along the
property's perimeter (approximately 150 linear feet) was discussed, and it was stated that since
the total project is approximately one million dollars, a new and different type of fence is
warranted. Renshaw stated that the agreement between his office and the city manager's was to
deal only with the structure.
After the fencing discussion, Jameson made a motion to approve the fire station's application for
a certificate of appropriateness (COA) on the condition that the chain link fence be replaced with
a more compatible material and to have the approval of the LRHDC. A vote was taken and the
motion was passed unanimously.
The third agenda item was the COA application for the rehabilitation of Kramer School at
7th and Sherman Streets into studio spaces and apartments. Paul Esterer explained the project,
which is a joint effort between the City of Little Rock (who owns the property) and the Historic
Investment Solutions Team, who has an option to purchase the property. The Kramer School
Artist Cooperative "represents the acquisition, rehabilitation and reconfiguration" of the structure
into twenty-two (22) affordable apartment units for area artists. The Cooperative will provide
community activities to serve the artists and art organizations, which in turn fosters both
community and economic growth, revitalization and development. The auditorium provides
space for community performances, meetings and exhibition space.
