(This meeting date was scheduled on 28 January due to tornado damages)
MINUTES
Commissioners Present: John Greer, Chair Judy Gardner
Howard H. Gordon Charles Marratt Mark Zoeller
Staff: V. Anne Guthrie Margi Gant Cindy Dawson (legal representative)
The meeting of the Little Rock Historic District Commission (LRHDC) opened and roll call was
taken; there was a quorum but no minutes for approval. The first COA under consideration was:
Applicant: Bill Miller, agent
Address: 311 East 14th Street
Request: Replace tiled roof with fiberglass singles (Deferred Application)
Bill Miller, as HUD agent representing the subject property, stated that while he had not yet
obtained the costs estimates, they are forthcoming and will be presented. (NOTE: agent notified
staff prior to the meeting that the application would be deferred due to not having estimates).
Miller asked for clarification of an item related to the property, if the lack of LRHDC approval
for a roof replacement excludes HUD from listing the structure on the market. He stated that the
single-family structure was for sale and listed on the market prior to the tornado; it was removed
from the market listing due to the tornado damage and needed repairs (windows, doors, roof,
etc). The issue was discussed and it was agreed that prospective buyers would be informed of
the fact that the roof replacement requires LRHDC approval.
The next COA application for consideration was:
Applicant: Jamie and Mark Blakely
Address: 1410 Rock
Request: Rehabilitate structure to pre -tornado condition
Applicant Jamie Blakely presented the request and reviewed the tornado damage of the structure;
she also summarized the rehabilitation plans: leveling the house; foundation repair; remove
exterior artificial siding and replace with existing wooden clapboard; replace the roof, front door,
windows, storm windows, chimneys and rear privacy fence; a new iron fence for front yard;
repair the carriage house with similar materials (roof, windows, etc.); and reconstruct the front
porch. Photographs were shown as to the configuration of the front porch, door and railings.
Drawings, or elevations of the front porch, when completed, will be presented to staff for
administrative approval; the AIA is offering architectural services in terms of drawings, etc. for
storm victims. A motion was made that the COA application be approved as presented with
condition that the requested elevation be placed on file and approved by staff. The motion
was unanimously approved as presented.
A MacArthur Park historic district property owner was present; his house was damaged by the
tornado, and while staff had explained the LRHDC approval process, he had questions about
historic roofing (metal, standing seam, etc). It was noted that a COA application was in progress
for demolition for the Park Place condominiums at 1 Oth and Commerce and would be presented
to the LRHDC. As there was no other business, the meeting adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
