The meeting of the Little Rock Historic District Commission (LRHDC) was called to
order. A quorum was present.
Old Business:
There are two non compliance projects: (1) 1305 Cumberland (2) flood light in parking
lot of East side Jr. High and both did not have a COA approval. Since the fence at 1305
Cumberland is out of compliance, the property owner will come before the board. It was
moved and properly seconded that staff write a letter and invite the owner of 1305
Cumberland to appear at the next meeting. The motion carried. ARC will also be
notified to appear at the next meeting.
Paula Salzmann made a presentation regarding 1009 Rock Street. The front portion of
the home was damaged by trees and they have been removed. Mrs. Salzmann said she
wants to install a new retaining wall and sidewalks (replacing existing ones) with
upgraded material and construct a driveway. After an extensive discussion regarding
the addition of a driveway at 1009 Rock, a motion was made to approve the COA with
the following conditions: Work must be completed within 60 days of approval; applicant
must obtain proper city permits with special attention to the water supply easement to
neighboring property, project must meet all city codes and zoning regulations, applicant
must notify staff if any future work is undertaken on the exterior and should the project
scope change in any fashion in terms of material, massing, scale, profile, and size, staff
will be notified and appropriate actions taken. Also, there must be a written agreement
between the applicants for the COA and the neighbors, Mr. & Mrs. Kent, for removal of
the 3 foot slab on the Kent property and that it all be done in accordance with the written
agreement between these two neighbors.
