Return receipt requested
The tax assessor of Pulaski County shows you as the owner of the S35 7' OF E74' OF
LT 11 & N16 3' OF E74' OF LOT 10, block 59, of the Original City of Little Rock known
as 904/906 commerce Street. This property is within the MacArthur Park Local
Ordinance Historic District and is subject to all rules and regulations of that district.
Please accept this letter as formal notice that construction activity at 904/906
Commerce Street was also carried out in violation of state law requiring that a
Certificate of Appropriateness ("COX) be obtained prior to making alterations to a
structure located in a local ordinance historic district. Our records indicate that new
porch columns, porch railings, and built-in bench were installed without a current
building permit and were installed in violation of this COA requirement. To bring your
property into compliance with state law, you must either restore the original materials to
the structure or obtain a COA from the Little Rock Historic District Commission by filing
an application and fulfilling all requirements thereof. One is attached for your
convenience.
Failure to obtain a COA and a building permit (if applicable) for the porch columns,
porch railings, and built-in bench will result in referral of this matter to the Zoning
Enforcement Division of the City of Little Rock Planning and Development Department
for enforcement proceedings in the City of Little Rock Municipal Court.
Please call me on my direct line at 371-4789 to get this matter resolved. If I can assist
you on getting this property on the next agenda, please let me know. Our filing
deadlines are posted on the web and are generally the first Friday of each month.
Sincerely
P��
