5B - Public hearing & consideration of a landmark alteration certificate to construct a 2400 sq. ft.MEMORANDUM March 7, 2007 TO: Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board FROM Susan Richstone, Interim Long Range Manager Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner Alice Gilbertson, Historic Preservation Intern James Hewat, Historic Preservation Planner SUBJECT: Public hearing and consideration of a landmark alteration certificate to construct a 2400 sq. ft. house at front of property and rehabilitation of the contributing building at the rear of the property at 70416"' Street in the 16~' Street historic district, per 9-11-18 of the Boulder Revised Code (HIS2006-00165) STATISTICS: 1. Site: 2. Historic District: 3. Zoning: 4. Owner/Applicant: 5. Date of Construction: 6. Historic Name(s): 7. Requested new const: 704 16`" Street 16"' Street RL-1 (Residential Low-1) Ed Lau 1932 Totten 2400 sq. ft, new construction. STAFF KECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board approve the proposed rehabilitation of the contributing building and the proposed new construction as to siting, mass, and scale with the following conditions: 1. That steps be taken to reduce the footprint of the proposed new construction to provide for a front setback closer to the 22' average for the district; 2. The final design should address the following design details: exterior materials, windows, and deck/balcony details and materials, as well as materials for doors, roofing, clapboard siding, and brick. 3. That final plans including those items listed above be reviewed and approved by the landmarks design review committee. Aeenda Item #SB Paee #1 This recommendation is based upon staff's opinion that with the conditions listed above, the proposal will be generally consistent with Section 9-11- 18(a)&(b)(1-4) B.R.C., and the General Design Guidelines. SUMMAIZY: ^ On January 4~', 2006, the Landmarks Board imposed a stay-of- demolition on 70416~h Street. ^ On June 27, 2006 Historic Boulder, Inc. submitted an application for the designation of five adjacent properties (including 70416~h St.), and on October 17`h, 2006, the City Council designated 700, 701, 704, 711, and 71616th Street as the 16'" Street Historic District. • Because of the potential impact to the district and interest in the case, the design review coinmittee referred the case to the full Board for review in a public hearing. ^ The stone garage/apartment building at 70416th Street was constructed in 1932 and is considered to be a contributing resource to the 16`h Street Historic District. • On December 6'h, 2006, the applicant requested continuance of an application to construct a 2047 sq. ft. addition to the front of the stone garage/apartment building in order to provide time for redesign. ^ Revised plans call for the rehabilitation of the contributing building and adjacent construction on the property of a 2400 sq. ft free-standing house. • In terms of mass and scale, staff is of the opinion that the proposal is generally consistent with the historic preservation ordinance and the General Design Guidelines provided the conditions listed in the staff recommendation are met. BACKGROUND: A demolition permit application for the house at 70416th Street was received on December 5'h, 2005. The Landmarks Design Review Committee reviewed the application on December 7'h, and determined that there was "probable cause° to consider that the building at 70416`" Street may be eligible for designation as an individual landmark. On January 4'h, 2006, the Landmarks Board imposed a stay- of-demolition on the property. Subsequently, several property owners adjacent to 70416th Street presented a petition to the Landmarks Board on June 19, 2006 requesting the formation of a historic district and on June 27, 2006 Historic Boulder, Inc. submitted an application for the designation of the five properties. On August 2, 20~6 the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board reviewed and forwarded the application to the City Council with a recommendation to designate. On October 17`h, 2006, the City Council designated 700, 701, 704, 711, and 71616`h Street as the Aeenda Item #SB Paee #2 16"' Street historic district. Because the area is now designated as a historic district the proposal requires a landmark alteration certificate. On October 25"', a proposal to construct an addition to 704 16"' Street was reviewed by the design review committee. Because of the potential impact on the streetscape and public interest in the case, the proposal was Eorwarded to the full Board for review in a public hearing. On December 6", 2006, the applicant requested continuance of the application to construct a 2047 sq. ft. addition to the front of the stone garage/apartment building in order to provide time for redesign. The current application to rehabilitate the garage/apartment and to construct a 2400 sq. ft. free-standing house on the property represents the applicant's redesign. 704 16"' Slreet - c.1949 PROPERTY HISTORY: In 1906 the Denver and Boulder Land and Investment Company sold numerous blocks of land in the University Place addition to the Northern Colorado Investment Company. It appears that this company was owned by the Fulton Brothers, who also partially owned the Denver and Boulder Land and Investment Company. In 1930 the subject lot was sold to W.W. Morris, who sold it to Mary P. and Clyde W. Totten in 1932. The Tottens constructed the existing stone apartment/garage building later that year and three of the other four buildings in the district over the course of the 1930s. The address 70416"' street does not appear in the city directories until 1936, with the first reported residents being Elias D. and Sophia Seldin. Elias was a Earmer. Their two daughters, Alice and Bernicc als~ appeared to have resided in the small house, and wcre students at the University of Colorado. On the Boulder County Assessor card, the house is described as a two-car garage with an apartment. A~enda [tem #5B Pa~c #3 The city directc~ries indicate the bttilding was primarily rented to students, although Ms. Florence Carpenter (mother of astronaut Scott Carpenter) resided in the hotise for 10 years while working as the librarian af inedical records at Boulder Community Hospital. The house is considered to be a contributing resource to the 16"' Street Historic District. -z. 70416'" Street - November, 2006. PROPERTY DESCRIPTION: Thc 1932 vernact~lar stone building c~n the 4923 sq. Et lot at 704 16"' St. has histarically fttnctioned primarily as a rental unit, with a garage below, and an apartment above. Measuring 26 feet in width by 22 feet in depth, with sliding glass doors and a centrally located doorway facing towards 16"' Street, the field stone builciing is located at the rear c~f the pmperty indicating that the edifice was probably constructed with the intent of further developing the lot. The majority of windows appear to be original one-over-one, double hL~ng wood frame windows. Sometime in the 1950s, the l~wer portic~n of the garage was cc~nverted to living space with the front porch (9' x 26') added in 1959. Sliding glass doors replaced the original garage doors. Prior to 1976 a carport was added to the rear oE the building and in the late 1970s the construction was enclosed as a shed. Currently, a narrow Frame shed measuring 3' x 18' is also attached to the north side of the stone buildin~;. ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: While the building has been moderately altered c~ver the ycars includin~ the replacement of the west facing garage doors, addition of a west-facing c~vered porch, and the rnnstruction of a shed ~nd carport on the east elevation, the edifice associated with Clyde and Mary Tatten still retains a high degree of historic integrity and is, therefore, cc~nsidered to be a contributing resource to the newly designated 16''' Street Hist~ric District. Awenda [tem #SB Pa~c #~1 PROPOSED REHABILITATION & NEW CONSTRUCTION: Rehabilitation The applicant proposes to rehabilitate the contributing stone garage/apartment at the rear of the property. Plans call for the existing non-historic carport and shed on the alley-facing east elevation to be removed and a single-car garage door installed. The existing historic chimney and three upper-story windows are to be rehabilitated. Drawings also show that the historic upper story windows on the west elevation of the historic building will be preserved, while the lower (non-historic) sliding glass doors will be replaced two sets of three panel garage doors with fixed four light windows, and the non-historic covered porch will be removed. The applicant also shows the triangular pediment over the front door will be retained. . , , ~ ~ ~ - ----- - ~ , ~ ~ ---=?--.. _ ,:~. ~;~, ..~ 'i, '`: t ~ ~ I ` " ~,i._ _ _- - ~.~ , ` ` ~ I' ~~ '~ ~' 4 ~ ~ ~ i ,; , . ~ ,. .. ., ' ~ , : ~ ~ ; ' ' , , , ~zs-0 ~ ~ - ~- - , .. ~ '4~ ~ ~ I~3,. ``~ l _._'_ ~_ .. ~ '_ . - _ _ ~ ; ~ ~ ~ .

The distance from the projecting portion of the porch to the west property line is shown to be approximately 15'. A~enda Item #5B Pa~e #7 The praposed new Craftsman Bungalow house is based upon a 1928 design taken from a Sears-Roebuck cat~loKue for the "Honor Bilt Oakdale" kit house. It features a front facing 3/4 width engaged porch, low-pitch roof, wide overhangin~ eaves, and exposed rafter tails The frame house is shown to be sheathed in clapboard, supported by a brick foundation, and to be fenestrated with three- over-one double hung windows and fixed, eight-light sash . Elevations indicate the west (front) face of the house to be one-story in height (17', 10" in height when measured from grade) and to be detailed with a brick- faced porch and supported by three Craftsman inspired tapered piers. The one-story house is shown take advantage of the declining grade to the east to allow for the installation of larger windows inta the brick fottndation, which is shown to be 5', 6" in height at the building's rear. Proposed south elevation ANALYSIS OF NEW CONSTRUCTION: Because of the location of the historic garage/apartment at the rear of the lot, the only location to build on the property is at the west (front) of this contributing building and for this reasc~n the application is unusual. The existing edifice was constructed as an accessory building at the rear of the property and has more presence on the alley than on the street, even though the garage was historically accessed from 16"' Street. In addition to the large front setback, the declination in grade will likely serve to diminish the impact of the building from the street. Plans are to re-establish the historic function of part of the ground floor of the stone building, but to provide vehicular access from the alley by way of a single- car garage door. The Historic Preservation Ordinance sets for the standards the Landmarks Board must apply when reviewing a reqttest for a Landmark Alteration Certificate. The Bo~ard has adopted the Generc~l Design Gttidelines to help interpret the historic preservation ordinance. The following is an analysis of the proposed demolition and new construction with respect tc~ relevant guidelines.

PUBLIC COMMENT: As mentioncd, the effort to desi~;nate the 16"' Street Historic District was prompted by plans to demolish the existing buildinK at 704 16'~' Street. Since the initial demolition application there has been significant interest on the part ~f neighbors as to the plans Eor constrt~ction on the property. Initial reviews of the proposal by the design review committee were attended by several people who expressed concern about the size and design of the proposed addition to the property. A letter tc~ the City Manager from a neighbor claiming that the design has not changed ~ince the December 20Q6 Board review and that the proposal is inconsistent with applicable design guidelines is in Ai-tnclTrnent E. A~enda Item #~K Pa~e #12 BOARD'S DECISION: The Historic Preservation Ordinance specifies that a Landmark Alteration Permit may not be approved by the Board or City Council unless it meets the conditions specified in Section 10-13-18 B.R.C. Specifically: (a) The landmarks board and the city council shall not approve an application for a landmark alteration certificate unless each such agency finds that the proposed work is consistent with the purposes of this chapter. (b) Neither the landmarks board nor the city council shall approve a landmark alteration certificate unless it meets the following conditions: The proposed work preserves, enhances, or restores and does not damage or destroy the exterior architectural features of the landmark or the subject property within an historic district; 2.

At the Board's December meeting staff was clearly directed by the board to assist Mr. Lau (owner at 704 lbth Street) in the re-design of a structure that was consistent and complementary to our Historic District. The plans we have received for review Mazch 7 are similar to those reviewed at the Board's December meeting. We were informed in December that we would receive new plans as per the Boazd's request that incorporated our District's guidelines, the city's code requirements and were compatible with the character of our Historic District. The plans: • Do not meet our District's setback requirements. • Do not meet our District's guidelines for mass and scale. • Do not meet the City's Code requirements for an Accessory Building Unit. • Remove two mature trees which are significant site and District features and alter the site topography. • Are not compatible with our District's architectural style, building materials and characteristics. We would appreciate your attention to the review process which has now become redundant. Please advise as to how we should proceed. Respectfully, Joei Ripmaster ;~~~,~~C3e4 Gl'~~~ sF~- ~f~~h~..~/
