5D - Public hearing and consideration of landmark alteration certificate to demolish a non-contributMEMORANDUM September 6'", 2006 TO: Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board FROM: Susan Richstone, Acting Long Range Planning 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 demolish a non-contributing house and to rehabilitate and construct a side facing addition to a contributing c.1868 Copeland house located at 500 Pearl Street in the West Peari historic district (HIS2006-00195). STATISTICS: 1. Site: 2. Historic District: 3. Zoning: 4. Owner/Applicant: 5. Date of Construction: 6. Proposed New Const. SUMMARY: 500 West Pearl Street West Pearl MXR-E (Mixed Density Residential Established) Telemark Homes, LLC Main house, c. 1868, secondary house 1952 2276 sq. ft. addition • This application calls for the demolition of a non-contributing c.1952 building and in its place the construction of a two-story, 2276 sq. ft. addition to the south elevation of the contributing Copeland house. Demolition of a building requires a public hearing per (10.13.14(3)(b) of the Boulder Revised Code. • On August 16~'', 2006 the design review committee reviewed preliminary plans for an addition to the south elevation of the contributing house. At September 6'", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Pearf Street that meeting the applicant was informed that the proposed demolition would require the full Board's review. • The non-contributing house proposed for demolition was constructed sometime shortly after the main house was moved onto the property in 1952. Because of its relatively recent date of construction, the house was not inventoried as part of the historic building inventory for the West Pearl historic district. • The 1868 Copeland house was moved to its current location from Water Street in 1952 and survives as one of the five oldest houses in Boulder. Staff considers it contributing to the West Pearl historic district, that it is eligible for local landmarking and individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. • Staff considers removal of the 1952 house to not have an adverse effect on the property or the district as a whole and recommends that the Board issue a landmark alteration certificate for the project once the following conditions have been met: 1. That the plate height of the proposed addition be reduced to 3' in height; 2. That the south elevation of the proposed addition (inciuding dormers) be redesigned; 3. That details regarding windows, doors, roofing materials, and color be submitted for review and approvai: 4. That all of the above information be submitted to the design review committee for review and approval. , ~ ~--- ~ • ~ • ~~ ~ ~_ .. ~. ~, ~ ~ 500 Pead Street ~ ~- _ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ / ~ ' l ~ , / ~ ~`. __ -•/~~ ` ~ , ,~ ~" ''N % ~ ~ Z ~~ ~/ i / ~ • ~' ' , ~ ~ ~~--~-----~ ,- ~ ~~ - ~ - ~ '-,'= ~ ,: _ ~ ,~ ,: Figure 1. 500 West Peazl Street Location Map September 6`", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Peari Street BACKGROUND: On August 16~'', the Design Review Committee reviewed preliminary plans for the rehabilitation of and addition to the house at 500 Pearl Street in the West Pearl historic district. At that time, the applicant was advised demolition of the non-contributing building at the south side of the property would be subject to a public hearing by the Board pursuant to Section 10-13-18 B.R.C. This application represents the property owner's request to demolish the house and in its place construct a two-story, 2,276 sq. ft. addition at the south side of the contributing house. BUILDING DESCRIPTION: The two frame buildings at 500 Pearl Street face west onto a small pocket park and are connected by way of an open breezeway. Archival research indicates that the 1 1/z story house at the north end of the lot was constructed about 1878 and moved from its original location at 1508 Water Street in 1952. An 1878 stereo photograph by Ed Tangen shows the Copeland house (probably under construction) at its original location on a knoll in what was then an uncultivated field on 15~'' and Water (Canyon) Streets prior to the development of this part of Boulder. In this view, the house features a cross-gable roof, one over S:1PLA1V~dataUoneraneU I[STWLTCERTS\Histonc Districts\West Pearl~Pear1.500109.OG.OG memorandum.doc- Figure 2. 500 Pearl Street, August, 2006. September 6`", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Pearl Street one, double hung sash, board and batten siding, and a small shed addition at the rear. The Copeland house retains the essential form of the 1868 photo with its cross-gable roof and original fenestration. The existing porch is not in evidence on the 1868 photograph and while the house survives in relatively good condition, proper maintenance has been lacking in the recent past. Historic building inventory forms completed in 1988 and 1995 for the house (prior to the designation of the West Pearl historic district), incorrectly list the date of construction as 1920 and identify the building as not individually eligible for local landmark designation or individual listing in the National Register of Historic Places. 1508 WATER IN 1868 Figure 3. Copeland House, 15~h & Water Streets, 1868 Constructed in 1952, the simple one-story frame house at the south end of the property can be best described as proto-ranch in form with its rectangular footprint, low pitch side gable roof, and distinct lack of architectural detail. Like the Copeland house, this building is in relatively good condition, but has not been well maintained over the years. September 6`", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Pearl Street ANALYSIS OF HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: A native of Dexter, Maine, Samuel Copeland (b. 1819) constructed the house at the corner of 15~'' and Water Streets after arriving in Boulder in 1860 in search of gold. In 1862, Copeland married Ellen Barnard in Saginaw, Michigan and the same year brought her back to Boulder. Copeland is credited with having started the first sawmill in Boulder County while working as a merchant and mining for some gold. The property was in possession of the Copelands until 1944 when it was sold to Ray Collins and soon after to Ralph Joyce who operated Joyce's Supermarket just north of the property (now the Liquor Mart). In 1952, intending to expand his store, Joyce sold the building to Dean Horton who contracted with the Duffy Transfer Company to move the house to its current location on Pearl Street. As has been mentioned, the 1988 and 1995 historic building surveys (see Attachment A- undertaken prior to the 1996 designation of the West Pearl historic district) misidentify the Copeland house as having been constructed in 1920 when its date of construction is actually c.1868. This date of construction puts it among the five oldest surviving buildings in the City of Boulder. Despite moderate alterations to the house, it survives with a high degree of integrity and is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places and as a local landmark. As such, staff recommends that the house be considered contributing to the West Pearl historic district as defined in the Gerieral Design Guidelines. S:~PLAN~dataUongrangU-[[S'i~ALTCERTSU-listoric Districts\West Pearl~PearL500\09.06.06 memorandum.doc- Figure 4. Copeland House, 15~h & Water Streets, 1920s September 6`", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Pearf Street The 1952 proto-ranch house adjoining the Copeland house is not architecturally notable and out of the defined period of significance for the West Pearl historic district. For these reasons staff considers that it does not contribute to the historic character of the district. It is staff's estimation that its removal would not constitute an "adverse effect" to the special historic, architectural, aesthetic character of the district (Section 10-13-18 (b)(2)). REQUEST FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION: Plans call for the Copeland house to be rehabilitated to a state close to that of the 1920s (see figt~re 4). The exterior rehabilitation is shown to include the recreation of the porch and portico on the west face and raising the house onto a stone facec ~~undation to more closely approach the height and proportion of the buildir: _ ~rior to the 1952 move to Pearl Street.

Plan of Existing and Proposed Building. In place of the existing c. 1952 building, the applicant proposes the construction of a 2276 sq. ft. two-story addition at the south elevation of the Copeland house. Elevations show the proposed addition (approximately 2' higher than the Copeland house) to connect to the south elevation of the main house by way of a lower connector and to feature gable dormers on the west elevation. An entrance to the north bay of the addition on the west elevation is shown to be accessed by way of a small porch. The south unit on the proposed addition is shown to be entered through a small enclosed, shed roof portico. The September 6`~, 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: S00 West Pearl Street south elevation of the addition is shown to feature a projecting gable, a small dormer with an octagonal window, and a second level balcony.

In terms of siting, mass, and scale the proposed addition is generally consistent with the General Design Guidelines and West PearI Historic District Gttidelines. However, staff considers that the height of the addition should be reduced by lowering the plate height to 3' as recommended and that revisions should be made to the south elevation of the proposed addition to ensure consistency with the design guidelines and the historic preservation guidelines. To this end, staff recommends the Board approve the demolition of the 1952 house and approve the proposed addition as to siting, mass, and scale with the following conditions: STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board issue a landmark alteration certificate for the project once the following conditions have been met: 1. That the plate height of the proposed addition be reduced to 3' in height; 2. That the south elevation of the proposed addition (including dormers) be redesigned; 3. That details regarding windows, doors, roofing materials, and color be submitted for review and approval: 4. That all of the above information be submitted to the design review committee for review and approval. Provided these conditions are met, staff is of the opinion that the proposal will be consistent with Section 10-13-18(a)&(b)(1-4) of the historic preservation ordinance. 13 September 6`", 2006 memo to Landmarks Board re: 500 West Pearl Street With the conditions outlined in the staff recommendation, the request for a landmark alteration certificate to remove the 1952 building, to rehabilitate and add to the contributing Copeland house all at 500 Pearl Street, will be compatible with the Historic Preservation Ordinance, in that: 1. The proposed work will not damage or destro}' exterior architectural features of the subject property within an historic district. 2. The proposed work will not adversely affect the special character or special historical, architectural, or aesthetic interest or ~~alue of the landmark and its site or the district; 3. The architectural style, arrangement, texture, color, anangement of color, and materials used are compatible with the character of the existing landmark and its site or the historic district. 4. The request is generally consistent with adopted design guidelines from the General Desig~r Guideiilles, including Sections 3.1, 3.4, 3.5, 3.7,3.8,4.3,4.4,&4.5.
