Re: 1016 / 1018 South Rock Street
Dear Jo and Gregory Butler,
The tax assessor of Pulaski County shows you as the owner of lot 8, block 45 of the
Original City of Little Rock known as 1016 Rock 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 1016 Rock Street
was also carried out in violation of state law requiring that a Certificate of
Appropriateness ("COX) be obtained prior to making alterations to a structure located
in a local ordinance historic district. Our records indicate that a new screen door and
stone sidewalk were installed in violation of this COA requirement. To bring your
property into compliance with state law, you must either remove the screen door and
stone sidewalk or obtain a COA from the Little Rock Historic District Commission by
filing an application and fulfilling all requirements thereof. One is attached for your
convenience.
Failure to obtain a COA and a building permit (if applicable) for the screen door and
stone sidewalk 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 deadline
for the next agenda is February 6, 2009. The April 16, 2008 that I mailed to you
included a set of guidelines. Please refer to those.
Sincerely,
Brian Minyard
Historic District Staff
