HomeMy WebLinkAboutHDC1999-011 Memorandum To Charles Toland, Permits Administrator Form Anne Guthrie, HPA 03/03/1999MEMORANDUM
TO: Charles Toland, Permits Administrator
FROM: V. Anne Guthrie, Historic Preservation Administrator
DATE: 3 March 1999
SUBJECT: Permit for 1415 Commerce
This memo serves as administrative approval from the Little Rock Historic District
Commission (LRHDC) allowing the property owner of 1415 Commerce (located within
the MacArthur Park Historic District) permission to obtain a building permit. I
understand that the permit is for roof repairs, selected demolition and rehabilitation
and/or reconstruction due to the damage caused by the January 21 tornado. There is
no change to the roof line, pitch or building materials. While regular maintenance is
allowed within the local ordinance historic district without a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA), the application for a building permit should be approved
meeting all city, building and health regulations.
The demolition and rehab work goes before the LRHDC on 11 or 18 March for
approval; perhaps a contingency could be added to the permit requiring COA approval
by and a public hearing before the LRHDC for the selected demolition and rehab work.
