Dear Commissioners and Staff:
In 2014, we purchased the lot at the corner of East Daisy L. Gatson Bates Drive and Rock Street.
This lot, and several surrounding it, had all become vacant following the tornado that devastated
downtown on January 21, 1999. We chose this location after a lifetime of being charmed by the
homes in historic Little Rock with the hope to contribute to the revitalization of its neighborhoods.
We are proposing the new construction of one single family home with a detached garage. (One
note regarding the detached garage - we are requesting approval through the Board of Adjustments
for a reduced setback from 60 feet to 44 feet due to the depth of our lot only being 75 feet.) We
have been working with the staff at Jameson Architects and Tim Hankins Construction to create an
exterior design that incorporates elements which are appropriate and harmonious with the homes
of our historic and contemporary neighbors. We plan to use a combination of reclaimed historic
materials and new sustainable materials to construct the home.
We are also requesting approval through the Board of Adjustments for a reduced setback allowance
from 60 feet to 44 feet due to the depth of our lot only being 75 feet. The hearing for this is set for
April 24, 2017.
We look forward to discussing our proposal and application with the commission.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lindsey M. Boerner Judith C. Boerner
