SUMMARY:
• This item has been referred to the full Board for public hearing as it
proposes the off-site relocation (removal) of a landmark building
(B.R.C. 10-13-14 (b)).
^ Staff recommends approval of the application to dismantle,
relocate, and safely store the building until such time as a
permanent location is found and it can be accurately reconstructed.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this review is for the Board to consider issuance of a
landmark alteration certificate for the temporary relocation of the historic Union
Pacific Depot, an individual local landmark.

BACKGROUND:
The Depot is located in the parking lot of the Crossroad Commons
shopping center. The Jaycees, a non-profit organization, owns the Depot, but the
land it sits on is leased from the shopping center owner, Regency Retail Partners.
The 50-year lease expires in 2023, however, over the years, there has been a
growing general consensus that the Depot should be moved and preserved in a
more appropriate setting sooner than that.
Jaycees Ownership
Since acquiring and relocating the Depot in 1973, the Boulder Jaycees have
used the facility for their offices and meeting space as well as allowing other
community groups to use the space. In order to offset the costs of maintenance
and overhead, the Jaycees rent out the space for private events, e.g., wedding
receptions, parties and business meetings. In the past, this has worked fairly
weil. However, the overhead and maintenance costs have been growing at a
faster rate than revenues from the periodic rentals. As a non-profit community
organization, the Jaycees resources are limited and the organization believes that
their continued upkeep of the Depot is not sustainable long-term.
In 2000, the Jaycees received a lease/purchase offer that would have
converted the building to private use, with the potential for fizture purchase and
moving to an undecided location. Concern from citizens that this proposal
would result in the loss of public use of the Depot led the City Manager to
establish the Historic Depot Relocation Task Force to evaluate relocation options.
Task Force Recommendations
The Task Force recommended that the City purchase the building and
temporarily mothball it until it could be moved to a permanent site. The group
favored two sites: the Library Mall (east of the Library between Canyon
Boulevard and Boulder Creek) and the Teahouse Plaza/14th & Canyon area. A
public/quasi-public use for the building was envisioned. They also
recommended seeking a Colorado State Historical Fund grant to assist with the
stabilization costs during the interim period. City Council supported the Task
Force's recommendations to purchase the building and continue analysis of the
downtown sites, but also asked the Task Force to further consider the Pollard
Motors site at 30~ and Pearl. Council believed the Pollard site afforded the best
opportunity to return the Depot to a more historic use.
2
S:~PLAN~data\Iongrang~I-IIST\ALTCERTS~I,andmarks~Depot3. doc
However, a major obstacle for City purchase of the Depot was the jaycees'
request for permanent office and meeting space fr~~m the City to replace the
Depot space they would lose. Ultimately the City : ~und that it could not
accommodate this request, and purchase negotiations ended.
Future Transit Village
Since then, the City has purchased the PolVard site with the Regional
Transportation District (RTD) to develop a Transit Village, which will include
affordable housing and a regional bus terminal. The adjacent railroad tracks will
accommodate commuter rail service beginning around 2014, with a train stop to
be located just to the north of the City/RTD site. Federal funding to RTD for
planning and construction of the first phase of the transportation component
inciudes an allocation for moving and rehabilitating the Depot if it is located on
the transit site and serves a transit-related function. These events have made the
Transit Village the strongest candidate for permanent location of the Depot.
Crossroad Commons Redevelopment
Recently Regency Centers, owner of Crossroad Commons, announced its
desire to redevelop the center next year by expanding Whole Foods and placing
a new Bames & Noble building at the comer of 30th & Pearl. This configuration
would necessitate removing the Depot from the site. To facilitate this, the
Jaycees have formally expressed their willingness to transfer ownership of the
Depot to the City, and Regency has pledged $250,000 toward the cost of the
Depot project and also assured the Jaycees meeting space at the redeveloped
shopping center. Regency and the Jaycees appear willing and able to negotiate
an early termination of the land lease. Because Regency hopes to start
construction of the redevelopment in January 2007 and it is unlikely that a
permanent location for the Depot will be decided upon and available by then, it
will be necessary to move the Depot into temporary storage. To explore this
further, the City contracted the engineering firm Atkinson-Noland to study the
cost and feasibility of moving the Depot to three possible storage locations - the
Transit Village, City Yards and City Airport (see Attachment A).
Long-term Future
The permanent location and use of the Depot will likely be addressed by
the Transit Village Area Plan (TVAP) process, currently underway. Planning
Board has approved including the Depot issue in the area planning process; City
Council will consider it on May 2. If included in the TVAP, a
proposed permanent location and use for the Depot will be reviewed and
adopted - along with the entire area plan - by Planning Board and City
3
S:~PLAN~data\Iongrang~I-IISTIAI.TCERT S~I.arxlmarks~Depot3.doc
Council early next year. There will be opportunities for public input on the
Depot issue throughout the area planning process.
A major expense not included in the estimated cost to move and
reassemble the Depot is the considerable cost of interior and exterior finishes
once the Depot is reassembled in its permanent location. In 2004 this was
roughly estimated by Facilities Management staff at $450,000-$500,000. :Added to
the $350,000 estimated for dismantlement and reassembly, this could bring the
total project cost as high as $850,000.
PROPERTY HISTORY:
The Union Pacific Depot was built in 1890 on the north side of Canyon
Boulevard at 14th Street. It is a classic example of a western Victorian train
station. At the time of the station's construction, the railroad was an unportant
and growing means of transportation in Colorado and the country. Solidly built
of sandstone in Romanesque Revival style, the Depot reflects the city's prosperity
in the 1890s.
The Depot was used as a railroad passenger station unti11957, and from
then unti11973 it was used as a bus terminal and travel agency. In 1973, under
threat of demolition by the City, the Boulder Jaycees acquired the building and
moved it to the Pow Wow Rodeo Grounds at the northwest comer of 30th Street
and Pearl Street, adjacent to the then extant railroad tracks.
The Depot has remained there since; however, the surrounding area has
changed significantly. The Pow Wow Rodeo subsequently moved from the site
and the railroad tracks were also removed. Over the last 20 years extensive
commercial development has occurred on the site. The Depot is now part of the
Crossroad Commons Planned Unit Development.
Previous Attempts to Relocate the Depot
In the mid to late 1980s an attempt was made by the Jaycees and the City
to relocate the Depot to Central Park where the Bandshell is located. At the time
the Bandshell was in severe disrepair. The proposal was for the Jaycees to give
the Depot to the City. The City Parks Department would have managed and
maintained the building for public use, as well as Jaycee meetings. A
fundraising drive was started to raise capital for the relocation and renovation of
the building.
4
S:~PLANkiata\IongrangU IISTWLTCERTSU.andmarks~Depot3.doc
However, before the fizndraising was compieted, the Bandshell was
designated a landmark, which effectively ended the bid to move the Depot to
Central Park. The Bandshell has since been restored. The funds raised for
Depot, approximately $40,000, were placed in a Parks Foundation account
earmarked for Depot relocation and enhancement, and remain there today.
More recently, the Jaycees submitted a proposal to relocate the depot to
the civic use pad adjacent to the St. Julien Hotel at 9w and Canyon. The St. Julien
task force that evaluated the civic use proposals did not select the Depot,
primarily due to site configuration constraints and a perceived incompatibility
with the hotel development. For a more detaIled history of the Depot see
(Attachment B).
EXISTING PROPERTY DESCRIPTION:
The Depot is located in a parking lot of the Crossroad Commons near 30~
and Pearl. Constructed of Lyons sandstone with a timber-framed roof and
cupola, the building features 20-inch thick walls and Richardsonian-Romanesque
round arches. A condition survey undertaken by Atkinson-Noland & Associates
including boroscopic observations indicated no significant deterioration of the
wood members (see Attachment A). However, the consultants did observe areas
of quite significant structural cracking of the stone walls, probably as a result of
the 1973 move to its current location. The eastem baggage bay was removed in
1973 and the western baggage bay filled in. It is important to note the building
has been significantly altered since being located on 14~ Street. These changes
include the removal of one arch and the infill of a second, the removal and
rebuilding of the projecting bay on the south elevation, removal and rebuilding
with modifications of the roof and cupola, removal of the original covered porch
on the west elevation, the removal of the porte-cochere on the north elevation,
removal of masonry chimney, and new door penetrations.
The eastern portion of the interior has been converted to a split-level
layout, with an upper office area one-half story above grade and a basement
storage and restroom area one-half story below grade. The current footprint of
the building is roughly 9~' long x 34' on the west x 27' on the east.
BOARD'S DECISION:
The Historic Preservation Ordinance specifies that a Landmark
Alteration Certificate 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:
S:~PLAN~dataUongangV IIS7IALTCERTSU.andmarks~Depot3.doc
(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 foilowing conditions:
(1) 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) The proposed work does not adversely affect the special character or
special historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or value of the
landmark and its site or the district;
(3) The architectural style, arrangement, texture, color, arrangement of
color, and materials used on existing and proposed structures are
compatible with the character of the existing landmark and its site or
the historic district; and
(4) With respect to a proposal to demolish a building in an historic district,
the proposed new construction to replace the building meets the
requirements of paragraohs (bl(21 and f 3~ of this section.
(c) In determining whether to approve a landmark alteration certificate,
the landmarks board shall consider the economic feasibility of
altematives, incorporation of energy-efficient design, and enhanced access
for the disabled.
Because the General Design Guidelines do not provide guidance regarding
the off-site relocation of individual landmarks, it is appropriate for the Board to
refer the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties,
1995 for the review of this proposal (Attachment C). Federal regulation
36ch67(H) states that, "The Secretary (of the Interior) discourages the moving of
historic buildings from their original sites. However, if a building is to be moved
as part of a rehabilitation ... every effort should be made to re-establish its
historic orientation, immediate setting, and general environmenY' (Attachment
D). Furthermore, the Board should refer to the International Charter for
Conservation and Restoration (Venice Charter) (Attachment E) and ICOMOS, The
International Council on Monuments and Sites as they are consistent with the both
S:~PLAN~dataUongrang~I-IISTIALTCERTSUandmazks~Depot3.doc
the City's historic preservation ordinance and the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards.
PROPOSAL:
The Regency's desire to move the Depot and contribute $250,000 to its
relocation provides an opportunity plan for the long-term preservation of the
building. To this end, the engineering firm of Atkinson-Noland has been
contracted to propose and analyze the options for the temporary relocation of the
Depot (see Attachment A). The following is a summary of the options:
1) Panelization: Dismantle walls into sections and brace for later reconstruction.
Not recommended due to difficulty of stabilizing and storing, therefore no cost
estimate.
Advantages:
Maintains more of as-built integrity than complete dismantlement
Possible to repair existing cracks when rebuilt
Disadvantages:
Does not maintain as-built integrity of portion of building
Risk of misplacing or mislabel sections
Sections may be difficult to maneuver for accurate reassembly
Wall sections must be strengthened for bracing
2) Move Building Intact.
This option is estimates a cost in excess of $750,000 to move across 30~' Street,
significantly more ($1.5 million) to move to the airport or City yards. This option
calls for storage on solid temporary foundation (cost included; perm. foundation
cost not included) A clear and level route-way is required necessitating filling
curbs and medians with dirt, dropping power lines, removing trees, closing/
diverting traffic a minimum of two weeks as well as the reinforcement of
bridges, culverts, underground utilities, etc. The consultants consider this a
recommended approach if only one move is required (to a permanent location).
Advanta~
Maintains as-built integrity of building
Disadvanta e~s~.
Difficult and costly to clear and level route-way
Large portion of the parking lot needed for staging and excavation for up to 1.5
months
S:~PLAN\dataUongrangU IISTIAI.TCERTS~L.andmarks~Depot3.doc
Existing cracks will worsen, new cracks will open
Small risk of catastrophic collapse
3) Complete Dismantlement.
This option calls for a stone by stone deconstruction and documentation
(photographic and graphic) of walls and removal and storage of tower and roof
elements. Deconstructed building would be safely stored until permanent
location is found, then carefully reconstructed and preserved. The total cost is
estimated at $350,000 to any location, and inciudes the final move to permanent
location and reconstruction. This option calls for storage of building elements on
pallets inside or outside under tarps (note error in report, storage not in shipping
container).
Advantages:
Least expensive
Moving and storage most simple and straightforward
Minimal cost if move additional times ($15,000-$20,000)
Best way to repair existing cracks when rebuilt
Allows for reconstruction of removed pieces (e.g., east arch)
Disadvantages:
Does not maintain as-built integrity of building
Risk of misplacing or mislabeling stones
ANALYSIS:
While never the first choice from a historic preservation perspective, the
relocation of the Depot is necessary as its present location in a shopping plaza is
inappropriate from both a contextual and practical standpoint. Severe flooding in
the basement due to poor drainage regularly occurs, and is adding to the
deterioration of the building. As has been already discussed, the building has
been significantly altered over the years. Because the selection of a permanent
location for the building is several years &om being finalized and significant
fiznds can be secured if the building is to be moved from its present location
within the year, an interim move will be necessary. The 1973 move of the
building in two pieces resulted in significant damage to the walls of the building
in the form of structural cracking that has accelerated over the years. Moving the
building whole (or in pieces) would most probably exacerbate this condition. In
any case, considerable wall reconstruction will be necessary to repair the walls.
The proposed removal of the building will facilitate its evenhxal
placement and accurate reconstruction in a location that will likely be more
S:~PLAN\dataUongrang~HIST\ALTCERTS~L,andmarks~Depot3.doc
appropriate than at its current site in the middle of a shopping center parking lot.
The permanent location may allow better visibility and appreciation of the "track
side" of the building. A re-location would allow better storm drainage than in its
current location, due to poor parking lot drainage, storm events flood interior of
building.
The option of moving the 250 ton Depot intact or in two pieces to a
temporary location on the Pollard site is estimated to cost in excess of $750,000.
Relocating the building to the airport or City yards is estimated to be
significantly more costly. The engineer's cost estimates appear realistic. For
example, the one block move of the 3,000 ton Schubert Theater in downtown
Minneapolis cost nearly 5 million dollars in 1999.
The option of carefully documented, stone by stone dismantlement of the
Depot and secure storage, reconstruction of the building at a permanent location
is estimated to cost $350,000. There are a number of examples of this type of
approach being taken for the relocation of historic buildings including the
Howard Van Doren Shaw designed Platt Luggage Building which, under threat
of demolition, was relocated to a new location in downtown Chicago. The
Internationai Charter for Conservation and Restoration {Venice Charter) recognizes
that when a historic building can no longer be "preserved at its original location.
.." it may be relocated. Further, the Venice Charter goes on to state that "under
certain circumstances, buildings of cut stone can be (dismantled) relocated, stone
for stone and course for course'. ICOMOS, The International Council on
Monuments and Sites has also recognized this approach to the preservation of
historic buildings in certain circumstances.
If the building is not removed for redevelopment, it will probably remain
in place under ownership of the Jaycees and may suffer deterioration as Jaycees
struggle to find the funds to continue to maintain it. When land lease ends in 17
years, the land owner may not be willing to renew the lease and may not offer
the funds being offered now to move the building, leaving the future of the
building uncertain.
PROJECT PROCESS:
Temporary Storage of Dismantled Building
Stora~e location: Staff from the Planning, Facilities Management, Parks and
Recreation, Transportation, Public Works, Housing, City Managei s Office, and
Real Estate departments are working together to select a storage location for the
Depot. If Atkinson-Noland's recommendation is followed to dismantle and
move and store the buiiding on pallets, the possibilities for storage location
9
S:~PLAN\data\IongrangV-IIS'iIAI.TCERTS~L.andmarks~Depot3. doc
widen. The reasons are that by taking this approach, distance from the present
location would no longer be a consideration from a cost or feasibility standpoint,
and having the building in pieces will make it more flexible in terms of fitting it
into an available outdoor or indoor space.
Criteria for selecting a storage location for a disassembled building include:
security, access, visibility to the public (less is better), and anticipated availability
of the site for up to 8 years (based on the projected start date of rail service in
2014). After staff analysis and discussions, the initial list of possible locations,
refere~ced in the Atkinson-Noland study, have lowered in priority as other
possibilities have risen in priority.
• Former "egg farm" on the north side of Valmont, west of Sterling Circle
- Currently top candidate
- Possibility of indoor storage in warehouse
- Outdoor space around building also may be available
• Water Treatment Plant near Diagonal Highway and 63~d Street
- Secured, fenced area available outside Water Treatment Plant
• City Yards
- Further discussion with Yards staff needed
• City Airport
- Little space available
- Concern about security
• Transit Village
- Part of City-owned portion leased and used by Pollard Motors
- Construction anticipated on RTD portion within 2 years; this could
affect adjacent non-leased City portion (boundary is subject to
change based on site master-planning)
- Concern about security and visibility
Stora~~protection: Regardless of its storage location, a dismantled Depot would
be protected from the elements and vandalism and theft. Depending on location,
measures utclude plastic wrap and tarps over the pallets, fencing, lighting,
security camera, and/or daily monitoring by security personnel.
Funding for move/ reassembly/ rehabilitation: If the dismantlement approach is
selected, the estimated $350,000 needed to disassemble, move, and re-assemble
the Depot wili be partially covered by Regency, which has pledged a minimum
of $250,000 toward the effort. On May 2, City Council will consider providing
additional funding by allocating the construction use tax on the Crossroad
Commons redevelopment to the Depot project. That tax is projected to be
approximately $174,000. In addition, Regency is considering pledging to pay any
10
S:~PLAN~data\longrangu-IIS'IIALTCERTSU_.andmazks~Depot3. doc
remaining costs associated with moving and reassembly that exceed their initiai
$250,000 and the tax amount allocated to the project by the City. Another
funding source that may be available for moving, reassembly, and interior
rehabilitation is monies from the $8 million federal grant to RTD for the first
phase of planning and developing the transportation component of the Transit
Village. This money would only be an option if the Depot were located and used
as part of the fizture bus or rail facilities. Additionally, the approximately $40,OQ0
raised in the late 1980s to "save the Depot," held by the Parks Foundation, may
be available for rehabilitation of the building subject to Foundation Board
approval. Another possible funding source for rehabilitation, but not moving or
reassembly, is a Colorado Historical Society grant. Finally, public fundraising
may be another option.
Ownership transfer and other le~al considerations: The City Attorney's Office,
the Jaycees, and Regency are preparing a set of legal agreements that will enable
the desired outcome: removal of the Depot from Crossroad Commons parking
lot, Depot ownership by the City, and meeting space for the Jaycees. These
agreements will address the following:
- Termination of the land lease between the jaycees and Regency
- Transfer of Depot ownership from the Jaycees to the City
- Regency leadership in contracting a third party to move the Depot
to an agreed-upon location
- Regency obligation to pay the first $250,000 of relocation expenses
and also any amount needed above the construction use tax
allocated to the move by the City
- City right to review and approve Regency's future contract with
the mover to ensure the building is moved in a safe and quality
manner
- Arrangement between Regency and Whole Foods for the Jaycees to
use the Whole Foods community room for their meetings
Other key steps the City needs to take to accomplish relocation of the Depot
include:
- Landmark Alteration Certificate to move the building (if approved
by LPAB on April 5, option for call up could be considered at City
Council meeting on Apri118)
- Approval by City Council to allocate the construction use tax to the
Depot relocation project (first reading of ordinance at May 2 City
Council meeting, second reading on May 16)
- Revocation of the landmark status of the Crossroad Commons land
beneath the Depot (LPAB consideration of revocation on May 3, first
11
S:~PLAN~dataUongrang~I-IIS'iIALTCERTSU.andmazks~Depot3.doc
reading of ordinance at May 16 City Council meeting, second reading on
June 6)
- Review and approval of the Crossroad Commons redevelopment
plan (Regency expects to submit development application on May 1)
The Depot would be moved to storage on approximately March 1, 2007.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The cazeful dismantling of the Depot including photogrammatic and
graphic documentation to ensure its accurate reconstruction once a permanent
site is selected, is the most practical approach to the preservation of this
important historic building. This includes dismantlement of the roof, most of
which has been reconstructed with new materials in the recent past. Further staff
recommends that a clause be included in the revocation of the designation
ordinance (to be considered at May 3 LPAB meeting), specifying that the Depot
shall be reconstructed once the permanent site is available and that the design
review committee will review and approve plans for its reconstruction. Staff
recommends that the Board approve this approach conditioned upon the design
review committee's review and approval of a more detailed methodology as to
how the deconstruction and temporary re-location will occur.
FINDINGS:
The proposed removal of the Depot from 2275 30"' Street as per the
conditions outlined in the staff recommendation is consistent with the purposes
and standards of the Historic Preservation Ordinance in that:
(1) The proposed off-site relocation of the building and eventual restoration in a
permanent location is generally consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's
Standards and the Venice Charter;
(2) The proposed removal of the building will facilitate its eventual restoration
and preservation in a permanent new location (B.R.C.10-13-18 (b)1).
(3) The proposed removal of the building will facilitate its restoration in a
manner that enhances access for the disabled (B.R.C. 10-13-18 (c)1).

Honorable Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board Members:
The Boulder Junior Chamber (Boulder Jaycees) has been infottned of a proposal which would
allow the historic Bouider Jaycees Depot to be relocated from its current location ffi the
Crossroads Commons Shopping Center to another location within the City of Boulder. This
proposal was initiated in part by Regency Centers, current property manager of the Crossroads
Commons site, as part of their redevelopment plans for the property.
At our general membership meeting held on February 13, 2006, the current members of the
Boulder Junior Chamber (Boulder Jaycees) expressed their support for this proposal, and are
working with Regency Centers 5taff and City Staff and Officials to implement this proposal.
Since the Boulder Jaycees Depot and the current site of the building wene Landmarked in 1979 by
the Boulder City Council (ordinance 4444), it will be necessary for an applicarion for a
Landmarks Aheration Certificate to be submitted before the proposed move may occur. Since
under the proposal, Regency Centers would incur much of the financial responsibility for the
physical relocation of the building it was agrced between City Staff, Regency and the Jaycees
that it would be appropriate for Regency Centers to be the applicant for this certificate.
This letter is to confirm that the Boulder Jaycees supports Regency Centers' appiication for a
Landmarks Alteiation Certificate. If you requi~e any additional infom~ation with regards to tlvs
matter or to the Jaycees' support of this process to find a permanent and stable location for the
historic Boulder Jaycees Depot, please feel free to contact me.

Federal Regulation, Sec. 36CFR67.4(H) Certifications of historic significance
(h) The Secre[ary discourages the moving of his[oric buildings from their original sites.
However, if a building is to be moved as part of a rehabilitation for which certification is
sought, the owner must follow different procedures depending on whether the building is
individually listed in the National Register or is within a registered historic district. When
a building is moved, every effort should be made to re- establish its historic orientation,
immediate setting, and general environment. Moving a building may result in removal of
the property from the National Register or, for buildings within a registered historic
district, denial or revocation of a certification of significance; consequently, a moved
building may, in certain circumstances, be ineligible for rehabilitation certification.
(1) Documentation must be submitted that demonstrates:
(i) The effect of the move on the building's integrity and appearance (any proposed
demolition, proposed changes in foundations, etc.);
(ii) Photographs of the site and general environment of the proposed site;
(iii) Evidence that the proposed site does no[ possess historical significance that would be
adversely affected by the moved building;
(iv) The effect of the move on the distinctive historical and visual character of the district,
where applicable; and
(v) The method to be used for moving the building.
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Reconstruction
1. Reconstruction will be used to depict vanished or non-surviving portions of a property when
documentary and physical evidence is available to permit accurate reconstruction with minimal
conjecture, and such reconstruction is essential to the public understanding of the property.
2. Reconstruction of a landscape, building, structure, or object in its historic location will be
preceded by a thorough archeological investigation to identify and evaluate those features and
artifacts which are essential to an accurate reconstruction. If such resources must be disturbed,
mitigation measures will be undertaken.
3. Reconstruction will include measures to preserve any remaining historic materials, features,
and spatial relationships.
4. Reconstruction will be based on the accurate duplication of historic features and elements
substantiated by documentary or physical evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the
avaitability of different features from other historic properties. A reconsttucted property witl re-
create the appearance of the non-surviving historic property in materials, design, color, and
texture.
5. A reconstruction wilt be clearly identified as a contemporary re-creation.
6. Designs that were never executed historically wili not be constructed.
y~f
Attachment C
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation
1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal
change to ~ts distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
2. The historic character of a property wili be retained and preserved. The removal of distinctive
materials or alteration of features, spaces, and spatial relationships that characterize a property
will be avoided.
3. Each property will be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or elements
from other historic properties, wiil not be undertaken.
4. Changes to a property that have acquired historic significance in their own right will be retained
and preserved.
5. Distinctive materials, features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property wiil be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features will be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of
deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature will match the old in
design, color, texture, and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features will be
substantiated by documentary and physical evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, if appropriate, will be undertaken using the gentlest means
possible. Treatments that cause damage to historic materials will not be used.
8. Archeological resources will be protected and preserved in place. If such resources must be
disturbed, mitigation measures will be undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction will not destroy historic
materials, features, and spatial relationships that characterize the property. The new work will be
differentiated from the old and will be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale
and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction will be undertaken in such a manner
that, if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
environment would be unimpaired.

response to the groWing need for passenger tcains and a dicect link to Denver

Dear Peter:
The purpose of fhis letter is to provida you with my report on the movement of tl~e Boulder Train
Depot building and a propo.gal for our services which inciudes engineefing, relocaGng, storing and
setting the historic ma'anry structure. After two separata site inspections Racky Mountain
Shucturat Movers, Inc has come to the fofbwing two options:
OpUon 1: Move the building io one piece:
In (his option we wouid carty the perimeter wat~ which were heavily damaged during the prior.
move due to cutting the building into lwo pieces. i feel that when you cut a masonry building in
half you ean compromise the strucWrai integrity of the building and i tf~ink ~is has 6een done.
I observed threa IayeTS ot vrdMs~ (1) Me stone exteriot wails (2) the EMU vralls, Put up to suPDurt
the stone exterior waiis (3) tha framed waMs fi support wire, pipe and the interior finish of the
building. This would be a very difficult move due to the above cireumstances.
Proposal Price for eomplete move: S260,000.00.
Option 2: Move the roof sectlon and atoro the walls:
In this option we would engineer ihe rigging for the iifting of the roof and raise it oH of the exlsdng
walis. We would then num~r each stone and document each sto~es placement on the existing
e~cter~r of the buiiding for proper piacement of fhe stones when the building is reconsWcted. We
wouid then remove the stones, palietize and ~ndit stones for storage. We would then demolish
the remaining wails and move the roof portion o~ fhe building only to ihe proposed storage site
designated by the city.
Proposal Price fo~ raising roof, numbering, removing and paltetizing the stone, the roof section
relocation, equipment storage and stone storage for 1 year, $~ 75,00.00.
Thank you for the opportunity to pivvide you with our services. If you have arry other quesHons or

• Landscape restoration.
• Temporary foundation construction.
• Construction of final foundation,
• Restoration of the masonry and roof after the structure has been moved.
• Cost of additional move to final location including construction of the new (final)

We feel that this quote does
not realistically reflect the

The quotes listed above aze considered "ballpark" estimates as several firms declined to
visit the site and quoted prices based on a building description given over the telephone.
We must note that each firm that came out to look at the job in person ruled out the
possibility of moving the structure intact to a distant site.
The quotes above reflect only the cost of moving the structure. In addition to this cost
are items listed below:
• Temporary utility relocations, permits.
• Traffic control and detours.
• Installation and removal of earthwork or dunnage to allow passage over curbs,
medians, etc.

• Displacement of the stone masonry due to the 1973 move: the original 3/8 inch to
%: inch joints have in several locations opened to a width of up to 2 inches
The second point is more practical in that it would be preferable not to have to
disassemble and reassemble the structute with all of the attendant complexity and
potential for unsatisfactory rehabilitation. There is legitimate concem that the building
may not be reassembled properly. However, we would suggest, that dismantlement
potentially provides the opportunity to rehabilitate the structure closer to its original
condition than it is currently in_ Dismantlement and rebuilding by skilled stone masons
will make it possible to rectify structural issues of settlement, masonry dispiacement and
widened j oints that were caused by the previous move and which would inevitably be
exacerbated by the next two moves. It is difficult to close widened joints in stone
masonry without local dismantling and rebuilding of the masonry.
We would be unlikely to recommend dismantlement and rebuilding if the building was to
be moved only once (nearby) to its final location. Based on current information, we
assume that this will not be the case. By moving the building twice there arise a host of
additional issues including: increased moving costs, increased mobilization costs
including building an additional foundation, and storage issues when the building will be
uninhabited and likely to be unprotected. Lastly, there is an increased risk to the
structure each time it is moved for additional damage and the small chance of
catastrophic collapse.
Panelization of the walls was considered as an intermediate option, but does not offer the
advantages of complete dismantlement yet introduces a number of disadvantages related
to lifting, moving, storing, and reassembling lazge, heavy unreinforced sections of
masonry.

• Does not maintain the as-built integriry for small portions of the building both
from a structural and an historic preservation standpoint.
• Possibility of misplacing or mislabeling stones during transit or storage.
• Potential difficulty of maneuvering lazge (heavy) stone panels with sufficient
accuracy when rebuilding the depot.
• Panels will have to be moved and stored vertically and stabilized at the storage
location to prevent overtuming. Additional strengthening of the wall panels is
anticipated to brace the walls for out of plane loads incurred during transport and
storage.
4.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
The advantages of complete dismantlement of the building and rebuilding outweigh the
disadvantages in our opinion. Of the two main disadvantages, one is primarily
philosophical in nature and related to a perceived notion of historic integrity if the
building were to be dismantled. To this point, it should be noted that the structure has
been significantly modified over the years including:
• The removal and infill of the of masonry arch on the south elevation.
• The removal and rebuilding of the projecting structure on the south elevation.
• The removal and rebuilding with modification of the wooden cupola.
• The removal of the original covered porch on the west side of the building.
• Replacement of some or all of the roof structure.
• Modification of the grade line of the building at the east side of the south
elevation.
• Removal of the original porte cochere on the north elevation.
• Removal of the original masonry chimney on the west side roof.
• Installation of a new doorway penetration on the west elevation.
• Interior modifications including the installation of a mezzanine and basement.
• The building was cut in half and put back together during the 1973 move.

described above for anastylosis. All of the elements can be palletized and stored inside or
outside on secured Ciry property under tarpaulins.
The roof structure could potentially be removed intact without dismantlement. Since it is
a roof, it will shed water and can be stored with minimal protective measures beyond a
temporary foundation designed for the weight of the roof and imposed wind loads. The
cupola is an independent structure and can be removed intact and safely stored for
reinstallation at a later date.
Advantages
The advantages of panelization are the following:
• Maintains more of the as-built integrity for the majority of the building both from
a structural and an historic preservation standpoint.
There are also the same advantages that anastylosis has over intact moving, which
include:
• No requirement for compacted fill in the parking lot and across 30'~ Street.
• Less of a staging area to disrupt the parking lot adjacent to the Depot.
• No street closures.
• No overhead utility removal.
• Limited excavation under and around the building.
• Storage of the components could be at any secure location.
• Reasonable additional moving costs if the building is moved more than once.
• Possible to repair existing cracks when rebuilding the masonry.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of panelization are also nearly the same as anastylosis, which are the
foliowing:

Advantages
Many of the issues that arise with intact moving do not occur with dismantlement. These
advantagesinclude:
• No requirement for compacted fill in the parking lot and across 30`h Street.
• No large staging area to disrupt the pazking lot adjacent to the Depot.
• No street closures or detours.
• No overhead utility removal.
• No excavation under and around the building prior to moving the structure.
• Storage of the components could be at any secure location.
• Minimal additional moving costs if the building is moved more than once.
• Possible to repair existing cracks when rebuilding the masonry.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of anastylosis are the following:
• Does not maintain the as-built integrity of the building both from a structural and
an historic preservation standpoint.
• Possibility of misplacing or mislabeling stones during transit or storage.
3.3 "Panelization" of the Depot walls
Approach
This method would be a hybrid approach of panelizing selected walls where possible but
essentially dismantling the building. Much like the anastylosis approach, the critical
component of panelization is comprehensive documentation and precise measurement.
The application of a database with integrated photography and CAD drawings will
facilitate this process.
Manageable sized wall sections would be braced and left intact. Any portions of wall that
could not be included in these wall panels would then follow the labeling method

3.2 Complete Dismantlement and Rebuilding (Anastylosis) of the Depot Structure
Approach
The critical component of dismantlement and rebuilding is comprehensive documentation
and precise measurement of every stone unit and member of the building including doors,
windows, the roof struchue and cupola. The application of a database with integrated
photography and CAD drawings will facilitate this process.
A cursory literature search' on the subject of documentation in the field of historic
preservation offers a possible approach. A method for documentation in the
dismantlement of historically sensitive structures has been successful employed by
temporarily labeling each stone on its front face with removable chalk for photographic
and documentation purposes and then permanently labeling each stone on the bedding
surface where it will not be visible after reconstruction but will be identifiable.
As an altemate, the roof struchue could potentially be removed intact without
dismantlement. Since it is a roof, it will shed water and can be stored with minimal
protective measures beyond a temporary foundation designed for the weight of the roof
and imposed wind loads. The cupola is an independent structure and can be removed
intact and safely stored for reinstallation at a later date.
All of the elements including the roof can be palletized and stored inside or outside on
secured City property undertarpaulins.

building in one piece. If the building has to turn the corner at 30`h and Pearl, the
building will have to be cut into two pieces as it was in 1973.
• Even for a short move across the 30`h Street, the street will have to be partially
closed for a minimum of three days to allow for dropping the power lines and
installation and removal of the compacted dirt leveling-fill.
Advantages
The advantages of moving the building intact are the following:
• Maintains the as-built integrity of the building both from a structurai and an
historic preservation standpoint.
Disadvantages
The disadvantages of moving the building intact are the following:
• Requires large staging azea in pazking lot adjacent to Depot.
• Must find storage location for material that will be removed azound Depot
foundation during support preparations.
• Uneven terrain along route will need to be leveled with 100% compacted soil.
• Power lines along move route will need to be temporarily moved.
• Trees along move route will need to be removed.
• Once moved, the Depot will need to be placed on a solid foundation.
• Existing cracks in the stone masonry (currently up to 2 inches in width) may open
further and new cracks will most likely open.
• Move will most likely have to be carried out during the day, which will affect
traffic flow.
• While unlikely, catastrophic collapse of the structure can not be excluded as an
outcome.
• Finally, the building will have to be picked up and moved again when the final
location for the transit depot is established. This may ultimately double the cost
of the project.

The City asked us to evaluate the feasibility of moving the structure to the Boulder
Municipal Airport, which wouid represent a 2.5 mile journey. We consider the cost and
feasibility associated with a move of this distance to be prohibitive. Some of the factors
to take into account are as follows:
• All overhead utilities over the 2.5 mile route will have to be taken down by Excel
and rerouted or buried.
• Obstructing curbs and road medians will have to be leveled with 100% compacted
dirt in order to provide a level driving surface. The prepazation of the route will
require a minimum of two weeks, during which time, traffic will have to be
diverted during certain periods. The move of the building itself- at
approximately 1/10 of a mile per hour (average) will require a minimum of three
days.
• The building will have to be moved back to its final location site at transit village
at some point in the future. This may double the cost of moving and mobilization
and further compromise the condition and structural integrity of the building.
• The structure can not pass over box culverts or bridges without reinforcement of
these structures. A detailed survey of the route has not been carried out but it is
likely that reinforcement of underground utilities will be required.
For the purposes of this study, therefore, we will assume the shortest allowable move
distance, which will be to the open lot between the existing train tracks and Pollard
motors just east of 30`h Street and north of Pearl Street. This wouid represent a move of
approximately 300 yards from the current location of the depot. Issues related to the
shorter move are similar to those listed above but more specific to this case:
• If Pollard Motors will allow access through their property, it is possible that the
Depot can be moved in one piece, as it will not be necessary to tum any comers.
While there are precedents for moving buildings this large, we can not guazantee
that structural movers in our area have the experience or equipment to move the

1.0 I1~TRODUCTION
At the request of the City of Boulder, Atkinson-Noland & Associates (.ANA) «~as
retaincd to perform a condition assessment, preliminary structural analysis and
prcliminary cost estimate for moving and rehabilitation of the Boulder Train Depot
located near 30`h and Pearl St. in Bouldcr.
l.l Background
The Boulder Train Depot ~vas built in 1890 by the Union Pacific Railroad at l4`h and
Canyon in downtown Boulder. The Depot is constructed of sandstone (likely Lyons
sandstone) with a timber-framed roof. The timber cupola was replaced in the late 1990s.
The depot was m~ved to its present location in 1973 and placed on a foundation and
concrete slab. Because of the size and weight of the structure, the depot was cut in half
and moved as two separate pieces, which required demolition of the eastern arch on the
south side of the building.
2.0 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The purpose of the condition survey, design analysis and cost estimate is to provide the
City of Boulder with base-line information for the up-coming effort to move the Boulder
Depot. We understand that thc City has not finalized a site to which to move the Depot,
therefore, issues such as the distance of the move and possible storage of the structure
will not be addressed here. In addition to considering the cost and impact on the
structure of moving the structure intact, or partially intact, we are presenting two
alternate approaches: full dismantlement and panelization of the structure. Each of these
approaches has its advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed below. The
preliminary cost estimate will include a breakdown of associated costs related to the three
approaches.
Atkinson-Noland & Associates

~~
2.1 Approach
Masonry Site Investigations
A condition survey was conducted by Atkinson-Noland & Associates to determine the
typical construction of the masonry walls, determine the materials used in the
construction of the Depot and visually rate the condition of the materials.
Borescope observations were made from the interior of the Depot in order to chazacterize
the wall structure. The exterior load bearing masonry consists of 20 inches of stone in
most places. Some areas have an 8 inch CMU wall in place of the interior 10 inch wythe
of stone.
Timber Inspection
Visual methods were used to estimate the grade of lumber used as structural elements in
the Depot. No signs of wood decay were found in the observed members. In addition
major staining due to moisture infiltration was not observed on any of the members.
Structural Analysis
The exterior load bearing masonry sandstone wall is assumed to weight 160 pounds per
cubic foot. With this density, a 20-inch thick wall weighs approximately 2700 pounds per
lineal foot. The estimated weight of all the exterior stone walts is between 400,000 and
500,000 pounds.
The timber-framed roof consists of the following members all at 16" on center
• P/z" x 7'h" rafters and wllaz ties
~ 3~4~~ x 7%2" ridge beam and vertical members
• 1'/z" x 5'/~" diagonal members
Atkinson-Noland & Associares
Boulder ]aycees Depot
/b
In addition to the self-weight of the roof inembers, insulation, HVAC, shingles and
gypsum ceiling sheathing were added for a total unfactored roof dead load of 367 pounds
per lir,cal foot on the exterior load bearing masonry walls.
The Depot will be located in an area with a 30 psf design snow load. This corresponds to
an unfactored snow load of 720 pounds per lineal foot on the exterior load bearing
masonry walls.
For analysis of the exterior load beazing masonry walls, a 20-inch thick 2-wythe
sandstone wall simply spanning 10 feet was examined. A wall with this configuration can
withstand a lateral wind load of 36 pounds per square foot before tension and therefore
cracks develop. The maximum applied wind load the wali will experience per the 2002
ASCE-7 is 19.5 pounds per square foot. This is assuming a 110 mile per hour wind speed
with exposure type C.
Cost Estimate
We have provided cost estimates for two approaches to moving the building: 1) Intact
(partially intact) 2) Complete dismantlement. Each approach includes cost of
reconstruction/rehabilitation and site prepazation at the destination. Potential storage
costs are not included.
Atkinson-Noland & Associates

~~
3.0 DISCUSSION OF MOVEMENT APPROACHES
The structure was moved in 1973 from Canyon and 14`h Street in two sections. Moving
this structure was a significant undertaking due to the sheer weight of the 20-inch deep
sandstone walls and by any standards the structural mover, Tom Whitlock successfi~lly
met this considerable challenge.
3.1 "Intact" Moving of the Depot Structure
Approach
One of the central questions that has not been resolved is where the building will be
moved to and this has a significant impact on both cost and feasibility. The following are
general moving requirements that will apply to an `intact' move regardless of destination:
• A large portion of the parking lot around the depot will be taken over as a staging
area. The preparation of the building for moving will require as much as 1'/z
months.
• A great deal of earth will have to be removed from beneath and around the
structure, the carth will have to be stored nearby for replacement into the
foundation hole.
~ A level route-way is necessary. This will require uneven terrain to be fillcd with
dirt and compacted 100%.
~ Excel Electric will have to drop power lines along the route.
• The trees in the parking lot in the move route will have to be removed.
• Regarding storage of the building, it will be necessary to place the building on a
solid foundation at its destination. It can not be stored on the transport cribbing
for an extended period of time, as it is not designed for extended periods of
loading. Deflection and movement of the cribbing will cause damage to the
building.

~ The building will have to be pickcd up and moved again when the final location
for the transit depot is established. This may ultimately double the cost of the
pro.~ect.
• Existing cracks in the stone masonry (current(y up to 2 inches in width) «~ill open
further and new cracks will open.
• While most lar~e structural moves take place at ni~ht, given the complexity and
size of this job, it will have to be carried out during the day, which will affect
traffic flow.
• Catastrophic collapse of the structure can not be excluded as an outcome. While
admittedly it is an unlikely scenario, this could occur if an unreinforced roadway
collapses or equipment failure occurs.
