Return receipt requested
The tax assessor of Pulaski County shows you as the owner of lot 1, block 48 of the
Original City of Little Rock known as 1301 Cumberland 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 1301 Cumberland
Street was also carried out in violation- of state law requiring that a Certificate of
Appropriateness ("COA") be obtained prior to making alterations to a structure located
in a local ordinance historic district. Our records indicate that the window over the front
door was replaced with a stained glass window, a "screen" on the back patio was
attached to the house, and a window in the shed dormer on the west side of the house
was covered over with plywood. These modifications 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. An application and a current copy of the Guidelines are attached for your
convenience.
Failure to obtain a COA and a building permit ,(if applicable) for the above modifications
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,
Brian Minyard
Historic District Staff
