MEMORANDUM
TO: Mary Bracey (fax #45$6)
FROM: V. Anne Guthrie, Historic Preservation Administrator
DATE: 7 November 2001
SUBJECT: Permit for 1023 Cumberland Street
This memo serves as administrative approval from the Little Rock Historic District
Commission (LRHDC) allowing the contractor of 1023 Cumberland Street permission to
obtain a permit. I understand that the permit is to replace a porch asphalt roof with the same
roofing material. Since the structure is located within the MacArthur Park Historic District,
exterior work comes under the LRHDC's jurisdiction. Routine maintenance is allowed within the
local ordinance historic district with administrative approval, and re -roofing is classified as
routine maintenance. The repairs should be performed in conformance to the structure:
♦ the proposed work will not alter the existing footprint, outline, profile,
composition or change the configuration
♦ there will be no change to the roof slope and no introduction of new
architectural detailing or materials
♦ the work will duplicate the existing in terms of shape, configuration, details,
profile and materials
As such, and meeting all city, building and health regulations, the application for a permit should
be approved. If exterior changes or improvements are made that require a Certificate of
Appropriateness (COA), staff will be notified and appropriate actions taken for a public hearing.
Refer to the application instructions or the Design Review Guidelines: MacArthur Park
Historic District for necessity of obtaining a COA.
