Proposed Ballot Measure Aims to Abolish Eureka Springs Historic District Commission

Paul Minze sued the Eureka Springs Historic District Commission for barring him from aligning a crooked window casing on an 1879 residence he is restoring.

The petition initiative to dissolve the Eureka Springs Historic District Commission, which appears to have enough signatures for the November 3 ballot once validated, is authored by resident Paul Minze. He claims commissioners rule unfairly in deciding certain restoration and renovation requests and that historic district residents and business owners can instead follow neutral preservation guidelines published by the city and state.
