BOX 7657 LITTLE ROCK, AR 72217 August 5, 1987 Mr. Mike Dooley Department of Comprehensive Planning City Hall Markham at Broadway Little Rock, AR 72201 Dear Mr. Dooley: ALAN BEASLEY HOME (501) 661-1173 WORK (501) 225-0052 We appreciate the letter received from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program (AHPP) and The Quapaw Quarter Associ- ation recommending approval for Riegler Health Services, P.A. The previous meetings with staff have been most helpful in the design of this infill project. We feel that the plans as submitted will be a definite asset to the neighborhood. This new facility will inable Riegler Health Services, P.A. to better serve our growing community. We have reviewed a concern that the (AHPP) mentioned regarding introduction of projecting bays on the north, west and south facades. After many discussions, we have determined that projections would destroy the regimented concept. This concept was designed around the particular needs of the medical staff as well as public convenience. A concept which has taken months to develop. You will find on the submittal plans a recessed porch on the west facade which will break the mass on this exposure. We feel we can create a desirable relief to the mass on the south facade with landscaping. Upon approval from the (AHPP), application will be made to the city to develop landscaping in the right of ways. This we feel will further soften this exposure. The internal north facade is to large degree buffered by surrounding structures on three sides. We have developed large landscape beds on both sides of the ingress lane which will support large trees which will serve as a buffer on Rock Street. E We have been notified that our meeting with the Historical Group originally slated for August 6, 1987 has been delayed until September 3, 1987 due to the inability of the group to have a quorum available at the meeting. While we are aware of the problems of the commission, we are facing a more severe hardship by this delay, the winter weather and the clinic's needs for completion has become more acute as the third doctor has arrived and is practicing at the present location. For the above reasons, it is requested that efforts be made to have a special session as soon as possible in order to expedite this project. We feel that we have been most cooperative with all persons involved in this project and are of the opinion that this request is certainly within the bounds of necessity Your immediate attention to this matter will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours, Cisco, :�-. Alan Beasley, President cc: Riegler Health Services, P.A.
