7B - Land Use Implications of establishing a historic district for a portion of Hillside NeighborhooCITY OF BOULDER PLANNING BOARD AGENDA ITEM MEETING DATE: April 5, 2001 (Agenda Item Preparation Date: March 21, 2001) AGENDA TITLE: Public hearing and consideration of a report to City Council regarding the land use implications of establishing a historic district in the Hillside area, within the LR-D (Low Density Residential Developing), HR-X (Hign Density Residential-Redeveloping), and P-E (Public Established) zone districts; and further described be]ow. REQUESTING DEPARTMENT: Planning Department Peter Pollock, Planning Director Ruth McHeyser, Director of Long Range Planning Deon Wolfenbarger, Presenter OVERVIEW: Planning Board shall review the proposed historic district and report to the City Council on the land use implications of the proposed designation. STATISTICS: Site: The area roughly being 15`h and 19`h Streets along both sides of Hillside Road; from 1590 - 1810 Hillside Road; and from 1205 - 1220 17'h Street; (see Exhibit A: Proposed Hillside Historic District) Zoning: LR-D (Low Density Residential Developing); HR-X (High Density Residential- Redeveloping); P-E (Public Established) Applicant: Historic Boutder, Inc. s:\plan\pb-items~nemos\dwhillside-planning.mem AGENDA ITEM #7B. Paee 1 BACK~ROUND: On December 15, 2000, Historic Boulder, Inc. initiated designation for a proposed Hillside Historic District, which included the lots along Hillside Road west of 17'h Street. On January 16, 2001, Historic Boulder, Inc. submitted an amendment to the initia] application to include the lots along Hillside east of 17`" Street. In review of this proposal, the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board held a public hearing on March 7, 2001, and recommended to City Council the approval of the application for district designation of the Hillside area as a Local Historic District under the city historic preservation code (see staff inemorandum, Attachment F). The Landmarks Board is required by ordinance to notify the Planning Board and the City Council of its approval of the proposed designation. As required by ordinance, the Planning Board shall review the proposal and report to the City Council on the land use implications of the proposed designation. The City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposal and adopt specific written findings and conclusions determining whether the designation meets the purposes and standards in Sections 1Q-13-1 and 10-13-3, B.R.C. 1981, and shall approve by ordinance, modify and approve by ordinance, or disapprove the proposed designation. LAND USE IMPLICATIONS: A. Lot 5izes And Development Pattern The lots in the proposed district range in size from approximately 5,000 square feet to 44,000 square feet and are developed with single family houses. The area has steep slopes and flood constraints (see Attachment D). B. Zoning The proposed historic district encompasses three zoning districts: LR-D, HR-X, and P-E (see map in Attachment B). The zoning is split on lots west of 17`" Street along the line of the old railroad right-of-way, which ran along the southern edge of these parcels. The maj ority of each parcel is zoned LR-D and the +/- 50-foot strip of vacated railroad right- of-way is zoned HR-X. A small portion of the eastern edge of the district is P-E. The city Land Use Regulations (Chapters 9-1 through 9-4, B.R.C., 1981) describe these zone districts as follows: LR-D: Low Density Residential areas which have been ar are to be primarily used for small-lot residential development, including, without limitation, townhouses and zero lot ]ine development, and where complementary uses may be permitted under certain conditions. This zone does not have a minimum lot size but does require a minimum of 6,000 square feet of open space per dwelling unit. It is typically applied to areas where cluster development at low densities is desired. s:\plan\pb-items~nemos\dwhillside-planni~g.mem AGENDA ITEM #7B. Pa2e 2 HR-X: High Density Residential Redeveloping areas in the process of changing from a historically predominantly single family character and redeveloping to a primary use of attached apartment type development and where complementary uses may be allowed. Uses allowed by-right in the HR-X zone districts include: detached dwelling units (DUs); duplexes; attached DUs in structures containing more than two units; efficiency living units (ELUs) when Yhe number of ELUs is less than 20% of the total riumber of DUs in a development; public schools; parks, play fields; small day care centers; congregate care facilities; crop production, orchazds; and accessory buildings and uses. P-E: Public areas in which public and semi-public facilities and uses are located, including, without limitation, governmental and educational uses. C. BVCP Land Use Designations The Boulder Valley Comprehensive Plan (BVCP) provides a sketch plan of the desired land nse pattern in the Boulder Valley. Land use categories inclnde residential, business, industrial, public/semi-public, open space, and park use. The BVCP Map designations in this area are shown on the map in Attachment C, and include: * LR for the majority of the area. (LR means Low Density Residential at two to six units per acre) * PUB for the old railroad right-of-way and for a parcel on the eastern edge of the proposed district. (PUB means Public/Semi-Public which encompasses a wide range of public and private non-profit uses that provide a community service, including University uses) * PK for part of the area along Boulder Creek. (PK means Urban and Other Parks which reflects Parks and Recreation Department management of the creek corridor) D. Relationship of Zoning to Historic Preservation Code The purpose of historic district designation is to ensure that future development and redevelopment preserves the integrity of the historic resources in the area; it is not intended to preclude future development ar redevelopment. The Landmarks $oard has no authority to approve changes in use, but rather reviews alterations to the exterior of all buildings and sites within the historic district; approved alterations must meet the Historic Preservation ordinance standards for Landmark Alteration Certificate applications (10- 13-18): (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 the Historic Preservation Ordinance]. (b) Neither the landmarks board nor the city council shall approve a landmark alteration certificate unless it meets the following conditions: (1) The proposed work preserves, enhances, or restores and does not damage or deshoy the exterior azchitectural features of the ... subject property within an historic district; s:\plan\pb-items~nemos\dwhillside-planning.mem AGENDA ITEM #7B. Paee 3 (2) The proposed work does not adversely affect the special character or special historical, architectural, or aestheric interest or value of the landmark and its site or tne district; (3) The architecmrai style, arrangement, texture, color, azrangement of color, and materials used on existing and prvposed structures are compatible with the character of the existing. ..historic district. (k) With respect to a proposal to demolish a building in an hisroric dishict, [he proposed new construction to replace the building meets the requirements of paragraphs (b)(2) and (3) of this section. (c) In detemvning whether to approve a landmazk alteration certificate, the landmarks board shall consider the economic feasibility of alternatives, incorporation of energy ef5cient design, and enhanced access for the disabled. A landmarks alteration certificate is required for exterior alterations in historic districts and must be issued prior to issuance of a building permit. LANDMARKS BOARD RECOMMENDATION AND PUBLIC COMMENT: At the March 7, 2001 public hearing, the Landmarks Board recommended approval (4-0) of the designation of the Hillside area as a Local Historic District. Public comment at the March 7 public hearing is summarized in the draft Landmarks Board minutes, Attachment E. The majority of property owners and residents in the area were in support of the proposal; one ownerfresident did not support the proposal. The Planning Department additionally received a letter in support of the designation on March 8, 2001. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: In its report to City Council on the land use implications of the proposed historic district, staff recommends that the Planning Board state the following: 1. The proposed historic district does not impact the uses permitted in the zones. 2. The existing zoning, flood and slope constraints in the area would allow little if any new development in the area (see Attachment D, flood map). 3. The existing zoning is in conformance with the BVCP land use designations. 4. The existing LR-D zoning is compatible with the historic fabric of the proposed district. 5. It may be desirable to change the land use designation to LR and rezone two areas of the proposed district to LR-D in the future. These are: a) The strip of PUB land use designation/HR-X zoning in the area that was previously railroad right-of-way. Rezoning would eliminate the split zoning on these lots. b) The small area on the eastern edge that is designated PUB and zoned P-E. The use of this lot is single family residential, and it is privately owned. 6. The proposed histaric district has the potential to improve the design quality of development and redevelopment within the area. s:\plan\pb-items~memos\dwhiliside-planning.mem AGENDA ITEM #7B, Paee 4 Approved By: Peter Pollock, Plan~ng Dire~br ATTACHMENTS Attachment A: Attachxnent B: Attachment C: Attachment D: Attachment E: Attachment F: Map of proposed district boundaries Proposed district zoning boundaries Proposed district BVCP land use designations Proposed district flood data map Excerpt from draft minutes of March 7, 2001 Landmarks Board public hearing Staff inemo to Landmarks Board/background information s:\plan\pb-items~nemos\dwhillside-planning.mem AGENDA ITEM #7B.

ATTACHMENT E City of Boulder Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board Minutes CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS MUNICIPAL BUILDING 1777 Broadway Wednesday, March 7, 2001 7:00 p.m. Board Members Present Leslie Durgin, Lisa Egger, Sharon Rosall- Chair, Rory Salance- Vice Chair 5taff Members Present - Glenn McGee- Facilities and Assets Manager and architact, Sarah Myers- Landrnarks Board Secretary, Deon Wolfenbarger- Presarvation Planner The meeting was called to order at 7:10 p.m. 1. Citizen Participation for items not on the agenda. No one from the public spoke. 2. Report on Landmark Alteration Certificates/ Demolition Permits Issued and Pending. There were no comments. 3. Review and approval of the minutes of the February 7, 2001 meeting. The minutes were approved with minor corrections. 4. Public Hearing and consideration of a recommendation to City Council concerning a request to designate a portion of the Hillside neighborhood as a historic district under the City of Boulder Historic Preservation Code. Applicant: Historic Boulder, Inc. Mr. Boles gave an overview of the procedures for a quasi judicial public hearing. He Yhen asked that the board members reveal any ex-parte contact they may have had regarding this item. Agenda Item k~~ _ Pag2 N~~ Ms. Dur¢in had none. Mr,Salance said he talked with one resident in the proposed district, the Westfeld family at 1810 Hillside, to get more information on this house. Ms. Rosall said she talked to the applicant about past residents in the neighborhood, but this information is presented in the staff inemorandum. Ms. Eeeer said she has none. Ms. Myers swore in those people wishing to speak to this item, Staff Presentation Ms. Wolfenbareer showed slides of the proposed district and reviewed her staff inemorandum. Applicant Presentation Mazgazet Hanson 646 Peazl St, representing Historic Boulder, said she is pleased to have had the residents of the district initially approach Historic Boulder about landmarking the azea. She said these homeowners have a great respect for their neighborhood. She is pleased to be representing their request. Ms. Rosall opened the public hearing. Public Hearing Paul Levitt, 1610 Hillside owner, said the construction of the homes makes.them conform to the actual hill side. There is no shelving of the landscape. He complimented a former resident, Mr. Parce, for doing such as astute design. He said he would be happy to see the area landmarked. Car] Manthei, 1205 17'" St, showed old photos and a magazine article about his house. He said he favors the proposed historic district. Nan Thorn-Foeel, 1707 Hillside owner, said she appreciates the old trees in the neighborhood. She gave a short history on the former owners of her home. She believes this is a very special neighborhood and hopes the board will landmark it. Bettv Chronic, President of Historic Boulder, 646 Pearl, talked about Fred and Kate Watts, prior residents of the proposed district, who owned two old dairies in Boulder. She then mentioned the Tucson family who were avid supporters of sports. She said this is a neighborhood of solid ownership and community participation. She urged the board to designate the area as an historic Aganda ilem k___!__tL_ ~'age u~ district. Dr. John YounQ. 1709 and 1709 Hillside owner, said he thinks the Landmarks board wants to prevent the University of Colorado-Boulder from moving into the area by designating the east side of the Hillside district. He does not believe this is a valid reason for designation, and thus he is not in favor of it. Somerset McCartv. 1605 Hillside resident, said he has always Iiked the strong community involvement in the neighborhood. He likes the idea of a district, as it compliments the people who have lived there for so long and have so much pride in the neighborhood. Ms. Rosall closed the public hearing. Board Motion Ms. Durein made a motion to recommend to City Council that it designate a portion of the Hillside neighborhood as a historic district under the City of Boulder Historic Praservation Code. Mr. Salanca seconded the motion. Board Discussion Ms. Durgin said there is good evidence that the proposed district is worthy of designation. She said ~hat her desire to designate the area does not come as att attempt to prevent the University of Colorado-Boulder from any future action. Mr. Salance agrees with Ms. Durgin. He pointed out that the purpose of designating a district is not to "freeze it in time." The owners can play a large role in setting guidelines for future alterations to the neighborhood. He said the great people who live there were an impetus for starting the process, but it is now clear that it is a very unique Boulder area that deserves recognition, Ms. Rosall said that all the research done shows that the area has significance for Boulder. It is intact and integrates the native stone into the design of many of the buildings. It appears to be one of the first planned neighborhoods that integrates site design and landscape. For all these reasons, she believes the area is worthy of designation. Vote The board voted unanimously (4-0) to recommend to City Council that it designate a portion of the Hillside neighborhood as a historic district under the City of Boulder Historic Preservation Code. Agenda Item #_ i<~ Page ri~ ATTACHMENT F MEMORANDUM Mazch 7, 2001 TO: Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board FROM: Ruth McHeyser, Acting Director of Long Range Planning Deon Wolfenbarger, Preservation Planner Diana Lonergan, Preservation Intern SUBJECT: Public hearing and consideration of a recommendation to City Council concerning a request for designation of a portion of the Hillside neighborhood, as shown in Exhibit A, as a historic district under the City of Boulder Historic Preservation Code Site: The area roughly being 5`h and 19'h Streets along both sides of Hillside Road; from 1590 - 1810 Hillside Road and from 120' 1220 17"' Street; (see Exhibit A: Proposed Hillside Historic District). 2. Zoning: LR-D (Low Density Residential Developing) 3. Applicant: Historic Boulder, Inc. On December 15, 2000, the city Planning Department received an application from Historic Boulder, Inc. to designate a portion of the Hillside neighborhood as a local historic district. This application included the lots along Hillside Road west of 17"' Street. On January 16, 2001, Historic Boulder, Inc. submitted an amendment to the initial application to include the lots along Hillside east of 17"' Street (see Attachment A for both applications). The district covered by the amended application is shown in E7chibit A. The purpose of this public hearing is for the Landmazks Preservation Advisory Board to determine whether the proposed designation conforms with the purposes and standards in Sections 10-13-1 and 10-13-3, B.R.C. 1981. The Board shall adopt specific written findings and conclusions approving, modifying and approving, or disapproving the proposal. Pursuant to the Preservation Ordinance, the Landmarks Board shall notify the Planning Board and the City Council of its approval or disapproval of the proposed designation. If the Landmarks Board disapproves the proposed designation, the decision is final unless appealed to or called up by the City Council. If the Landmarks Board approves the proposed designation, the Planning Board shall review the proposal and report to tha City Council on its land use Agenda Ilem N1~ ' Page k,~.L_ Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/Ol RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District implications. In addition, the City Council shall hold a public hearing on the proposal and adopt specific written findings and conclusions determining whether the designation meets the purposes and standards in Sections 10-13-1 and 10-13-3, B.R.C. 1981, and shall approve by ordinance, modify and approve by ordinance, or disapprove the proposed designation. SIGNIFICANCE: The following is the result of staffs research on the proposed district relatzve to the significance criteria for district landmarks adopted by the Landmarks Board on October 29, 1975. (see Attachment B: Significance Criteria) The significance criteria aze used by the Landmarks Board in determining if an area conforms with the purposes and standards of Sections 10-13-1 and 10- 13-3 of the Historic Preservation Code, B.R.C. 1981. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Association with historical persons or events: The Hillside Historic District is significant for its association with several prominent Boulder citizens. The neighborhood has been home to University of Colorado faculty members, small business owners, and workers in a variety of occupations. The neighborhood is located on land originally homesteaded by Boulder pioneer Marinus Smith. Bom in New York in 1819, Smith participated in the California Gold Rush of 1849 before coming to Boulder in 1859. Smith homesteaded 200 acres south of the original townsite and operated one of the first vegetable and fruit farms in Boulder. Smith gave generously to the University of Colorado, donating the land on which the Old Main and Hale Science buildings currently stand. Prominent residents of the proposed Hillside Historic District have included: (1601 Hillside) 3acob & Myrtle Christian, Martham & Mary Russell, Blanche Sutherland; (1605 Hillside) Herbert & Stella Shattuck; (1610 Hillside) Charles & Ethelyn Linsley, Henry Poppen, Paul & Nancy Levitt; (1707 Hillside) W.W. & Josephine Parce, Stuart & Helen Cuthbertson; (1708 Hillside) Forrest "Frosty" & Helen Cox; (1709 Hillside) Edith Pollard, A.F. Tisone; (1205 17 Street) Reuben & Elizabeth Olson; (1220 17`" Street) Fred & Kate Watts, Edith Pollard. (Source: Historic Building Inventory Records; see Attachment D far further information on these residents) 2. Distinction in the development of the commuaity of Boulder: The Hillside Historic District is significant for its association with the growth and development of the city of Boulder during the early part of the 20th Century, and as a well-preserved residential neighborhood of the same period. The neighborhood has historically provided housing for University of Colorado faculty and staff, reflecting the university's influence on the city of Boulder, as well as for several prominent Boulder citizens. Agenda Item ~ ~ c~ Page # __L_L Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/O1 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District Although associated by geography, period of significance, and by azchitectural styles, the development history differs between the east and wast sides of Hillside Road. The west side of Hillside was originally part of the Grandview Tereace Addition. This addition to the Original Townsite was platted in 1902 by the heirs of Boulder pioneer Marinus Smith. In 1907, Stella Shattuck platted "Shattuck's Hillsida Park" on the brow of the hill in the Grandview Terrace Addition. This small subdivision was bounded on the north by Bouider Creek, on the east by 17`h Street, on the west by the extended line of 15"' Street, and on the south by the Colorado and Southern railroad right-of-way, and. (See plat maps in Attachment F). The tracks were initially laid in 1883 for the Denver and Boulder Valley Railroad, which ran along the hillside north of Grandview Avenue. In 1908, the Colorado and Southern Railroad began operating its interurban service between Denver and Boulder. The service continued until 1926. The tracks were removed in the 1930s, by which time the neighborhood had been substantially developed. (Sources: Grandview Terrace National Register of Historic Places nomination form; Grandview Terrace LPAB 12/06/99 memo) The plat for Shattuck's Hiltside Park included restrictions indicating a desire for exclusivitiy for the new neighborhood. These were: 1) No dwelling could be erected costing less than two thousand dollars. 2) No barn, shed or outbuilding, or any other structures except dwellings, could be erected on the property, except those of ornamental nature. 3) No chickens, domestic fowl, or cattle of any description could be "harbored or housed" on the premises. 4) The use of Hillside Road was granted to the owners for "ingress, egress and regress." 5) The use of the private sewer and water lines was granted to the owners of the premises. 6) The right to construct sewer or watar lines along the lot lines was reserved. (Source: City of Boulder plat records} Due to the chazacter of the topography, Shattuck's Hillside Park neighborhood was physically separated from the Grandview Terrace neighborhood in spite of its close proximity. The houses were built so as to take advantage of the sweeping views of the mountains, valley, university, and town. The circling drives, lots, and terraces of the subdivision were as critical to the character of the neighborhood as was the careful siting of the houses. (Source: Boulder Survey of Historic Places, 1992) Stella and Herbert Shattuck, their five children, and their servants had moved to Denver in 1902 because of Herbert's health. A chance visit to Soulder convinced them to relocate here, where Herbert began buying a selling houses. Shattuck's brainchild was the subdivision "west of Seventeenth Street overlooking the railroad on one side, and Boulder creek on the other." He believed the location, where he was building his own home, would be "ideal, commanding a sweeping, unobstructed view of mountain and Agenda Item #_[.sa_Page ~.1.~- Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/Ol RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District valley, college campus, and town." The Dailv Herald of 1905 noted that Shattuck was working on "having the lots southwest of the (Seventeenth Street) bridge graded, and a winding rQad built around the hill overlooking the creek. He is to erect three houses there. It is a most sightly place." The Shattucks first lived in a small summer cottage east of 17h Street and south of Boulder creek in 1905. When their new home was finighed in 1906, they moved to 1605 Hillside Road. (Source: Daily Camera clipping files; Boulder Survey of Historic Places: 1992 Survey Report) Hillside in the foreground and 1601 Hillside in the background. Historic postcard courtesy of Peter Pollock. By June 1906, the landscaping work was noticeable and it was reported that: On the hill, where teams were at work all winter, the circling drives to the top of the hill with flower beds and groups of trees planted have made what will some day be as pretty a residence section as is in Boulder, overlooking the rapid stream. Two clever cottages are now being built on this side by Mr. Shattuck for tenants, Adjoining on the south is the University campus presenting its front of trees and lake and vine-covered main building and dormitory. (Source: Boulder Survey of Historic Places: 1992 Survey Report) Shattuck also supervised the building of the Seventeenth Street bridge. After the bridge was finished, the area along Boulder Creek was planted with trees and bushes. The landscape in this azea, along with the hillside above, was designed by Shattuck and W. W. Parce, a landscape architect. After its completion, the Dailv Herald stated that the new bridge was the most attractive in the state. "On either side of the street upon the hill Agenda Ilem ~" r Page p~ Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/01 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District ground has been leveled and laid out in landscape effecYs which will appeal to passerby, as will also the view with its fascinating variety of scenery ... Mr. Shattuck has had pretty drives and walks laid out alnng the creek." (Source: Boulder Survey of Historic Places: 1992 Survey Report). The Dailv Camera in 1905 also noted that: Across tha road, landscape architect W. W. Parce, a personal friend of the man who is to improve this spot [Shattuck], is likewise preparing for extensive lawns and a f ne residence, so that this is to be made one of the prettiest parts of the town. (Source: Dailv Camera clipping files) As noted, Parce and Shattuck worked together to improve the landscape along the creek. The east side of Hillside (where Parce's residence was located}, was re-platted in 1929, the "Plat of Eighteenth Streat South of Athens Street." (See plat maps in Attachment : Historic Research). It included an extension of Hillside Road with lots on both 17`h Street and Hillside. Edith Pollard, a prominent Boulder resident who was active in civic affairs, was noted for her landscaping efforts along the east side of Hillside. An article in the Daily Camera noted that "the hiliside propariy owned by Mrs. Pollard has been made into the most attractive in Boulder, in architecture and landscape by Mrs. Pollard, who has found time in addition to this to take part in many civic activities." (Source: Dailv Camera clipping files.) 3. Recognition by authorities: The west side of Hillside was surveyed in 1992, and the east side in 1995 by Front Range Associates. Both areas were noted for their potential as a local historic district. In addition to the potential historic district, five buildings were considered individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. These are: 1605 Hillside Road: The 5hattuck House and gazage, built against the side of a cliff, has a steeply pitched, flared roof with overhanging eaves. Sitting on a stone foundation, the Tudor Revival house has shingled gable ends and lowered rough stucco walls. An excellent rapresentative of its type; additionally, it is significant as the residence of Herbert & Stalls Shattuck, the developers of "Shattuck's Hillside Park." 1707 Hillside Road: This hipped roof house has roughly coursed rounded rock and boulder walls. The roof eaves extend over the porch, which has wood supports. An excellent representative of an early twentieth century house type, it is also significant as the home of landscape architect W. W. Parce. It was later the home of Stuart Cuthbertson, head of the Department of Modern Languages at the University of Colorado. Edith Pollard, known as one of `Boulder's most civic-minded citizens," later lived in the house. She was on the board of directors of the Boulder Public Library, as well as the Boulder Historical Society from the time it was organized, Agenda Item ri ~ Page a_LL Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/O1 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District 1708 Hillside Road: This two story Tudor Revival house has stucco and half-timbering on the upper stories and shingles on the first. It is significant as the residence of Forrest "Frosty" Cox, the basketball coach at the University of Colorado who was responsible for lifting "the Centennial state into national prominence in the roundball sport." It was later one of the residences of Edith Pollard, a prominent Boulder citizen. 1709 Hillside Road: This two story Tudor Revival/Norman cottage house has a steeply pitched front gable. The lower walls have siding, and the gable ends have wood shingles. It is one of the residences of Edith Pollard, who owed and landscaped much of this area of Hillside Road. It was later the residence of A.F. "Tony" Tisone, who was president of the Watts-Hardy Dairy and the Colorado Dairy Products Association. 1220 17`h Street: This one-and-a-half story 'I~dor Revival/Norman cottage has a steeply pitched front gable roof. The wood single walls flare over the foundation, and there is additionally a full-height chixnney on the front elevation as well as a stone entrance bay with round arched entrance. The landscaped site included terraced stone flowerbeds and retaining wall. The house is also significant as the residence of Fred Watts, the founder of the Watts-Hardy Dairy and the organizer of the Colorado Dairy Products Association. Due to the high level of integrity and number of potentially individually eligible buildings, it is staff's evaluation is that the Hillside Historic District would also be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district. One house has also been recommended for individual landmark status by the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board on February 7, 2001. 1610 Hillside Road: This one-and-a-half story shingle style house is significant as a rare example of this style in Boulder, as well as for its associations with several prominent Boulder residents. Two of the longest residents were the Linsley and Levitt families. 4. Date of construction: The majority of residences in the proposed Hillside Historic District were constructed between 1905 and 1938. (Soarce: Historic Building Inventory Records) ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Architectural Identity: The houses constructed during the area's period of historic development displayed architectural elements reflecting styles popular during the early twentieth century. Most of the houses erected during 1900 - 1940 were revival style, such as the Tudor Revival or Norman cottages. The Tudor Revival style features steeply pitched gable roofs (often cross-gables), half-timbering with stucco; ta11, narrow windows with multi-pane glazing; and massive chimneys. Some houses show the Agenda Item N~ Page N~ Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/O1 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District influence of the Craftsman style, such as gabled roofs with overhanging eaves, exposed rafters, and decorative beams; a combination of wall materials, including wood shingles, roughly quarried stone, stucco, and brick; multi-over-single light windows with tapered surrounds; and prominent porches with battered piers. There is also the influence of the Shingle style, which features watl cladding and roofing of continuous wood shingles, shingled walls without interruption at the corners, and intersecting cross gables. This style is noted for its lack of architectural ornamentation. 2. Recognized period/style: The proposed Hillside Historic District contains buildings that exemplify specific elements of architectural styles (as listed above). A majority of the homes aze Tudar Revival (or variant). The earliest examples of the Tudor Revival style in the United states date from the late nineteenth century; these are pretentious homes also referred to as Jacobethan. Ivlore typical were the simpler homes from the early twentieth century. Fairly uncommon before W WI, the style exploded in popularity during the 1920s and `30s. To date, there have been few examples of the Tudor Revival individually designated as landmarks in Boulder. There is one example of a Shingle style home in the district, and another vernacular home which borrows elements from this style. 3. Architect or builder of prominence: Herbert Shattuck was a noted contractor for some of the homes in the proposed Hiilside Historic District. W. W. Parce was a prominent early Boulder landscape architect, and along with Shattuck, was responsible for much of the landscape features in the district. Parce also built two homes in the 17'h and Hillside area. His designs included plans for Chautauqua, parts of the University campus, the former courthouse building, the Rocky Mountain Golf club in Denver, a park in Greeley, and projects elsewhere in Colorado. 4. Artistic merit: Several of the homes in the proposed Hillside Historic District are excellent representatives of early twen6eth century residential styles. They aze noteworthy for their combination of local building materials with those more traditionally found with those styles. Additionally, the district is significant in the area of landscape architecture. This area along Squlder creek was not recognized prior to development for its natural beauty - the creek bed was lined with trees and bushes, and the hillsides were sparsely vegefated, with occasional clumps of yucca or soapweed. The careful site planning and landscape features soon transformed this area into one of the most artistic in Bou]der. The transformation which has been wrought on south Seventeenth street by the city's new improvement and those two citizens of untiring enterprise, Messrs. Parch and Shattuck, is rapidly making that locality one of the spots to which many Boulder visitors are now being brought. It would have hardly been dreamed of that such a change could have been Agenda Item N~Page # ~9 Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/O1 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District brought about in a vicinity which a year ago was bare and almost unsightly. Now a stroll to that part of town upon any evening or Sunday aftemoon will show it to be one of the most populaz sigflt-seeing points of the city. Almost invariably the remark is heard that it is surprising the beauties of that part of Boulder were not realized before. On either side of the street upon the hill ground has been leveled and laid out in landscape effects which will soon appeal to passerby, as will also the view with its fascinating variety of scenery of snow-capped Arapahoe and mountainward the wooded natural park of Boulder creek flowing out through a forest suggesting surrounding of trees out into the valley. Below, Mr. Shattuck has had pretty drives and walks laid out along the creek. ... Vice President A. D. Parker of the Colorado & Southern took occasion of remark, upon his drive over Boulder and past this addition, that it is one of the most charming parts of Boulder. (Source: Dailv Herald 23 June 1906, in correspondence from C.B. House, 7 January 1965) 5. Examples of the uncommon: n/a. 6. Indigenous qualities: n/a. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Site Characteristics: The proposed Hillside Historic District is an intact enclave at the northwestern edge of the main Boulder campus of the University of Colorado. The west side of Hillside is situated on a steep site between the former railway and Boulder creek, while the east side is on the north side of a steep bluff in the creek bed. Hillside Road i: unpaved, and there are several stone terraces. 2. Compatibility with site: The unpaved curving roads and landscaping, along with the cohesive early twentieth century styles, are particularly suited for the steep location. Geographic importance: The proposed Hillside Historic District occupies a prominent location on a bluff overlooking downtown Boulder and along the creek bed of Boulder Creek. Many of the homes have excellent views of the Flatirons to the south and the city center to the north. The neighborhood historically served as a transitional zone between the University of Colorado campus and downtown Boulder. It is also located immediately east of the Grandview Terrace Historic District, which has been designated as a local historic district as well as been determined eligibie for the I3ational Register of Historic Places. 4. Area integrity: This small enclave of early twentieth century residences has remained intact throughout the years, surviving the expansion of the downtown and the University. Vegetation growth has blocked some of the early views, but the buildings have a high Agenda Item ~~Page k a~ Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board 3/7/O1 RE: Proposed Hillside Historic District degree of integrity. The neighborhood faces a potential threat if the University of Colorado, which currently has plans for large-scale construction in the adjoining Grandview Terrace Historic District, decides to expand into Hillside. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANCE The proposed Hillside Historic district contains 16 buildings. .15 buildings aze contributing, and one is non-contributing. (See Exhibit A: Proposed Hillside Historic District) There are additionally several contributing landscape features, which include the historic road, stone terraces, stone fence pillars, and vegetation. Contributing structures aze those buildings built during the district's period of significance that exist in comparatively original condition, or that have been appropriately altered or restored, and clearly contribute to the historic significance of the district. Non-contributing structures are those buildings built during the districYs period of significance that have been altered to such an extent that historic information is not interpretabla, and restoration is not possible, or buildings erected outside the period of significance which are not individually significant. The period of significance begins in 1905, when Shattuck and Parce began their landscaping work in the area, and extends to 1938, when the majority of houses had been constructed. However, one building (1810 Hillside) is individually significant for its association with its Betty Weems Westfeldt, as well as a good example of a Rustic Modern house, and is therefore considered contributing to the historic district. This property additionally contains a small contriburing cabin (formerly 1844 Hillside) and historic landscape features. The district is significant for its association with the growth and development of the city of Boulder during the early twentieth century and as a well preserved residential neighbarhood of the same period. It is also significant for containing the residences of many prominent Boulder citizens. It is significant in the area of landscape architecture, and for its association with landscape architect W. W. Parce and vernacular designer Edith Pollard. The neighborhood is also significant for its prominent location and its azchitecture, which represents popular building styles and construction techniques of the eazly twentieth century, as reflected in local building materials, tastes, and Iifestyles. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board recommend to City Council the approval of the application for historic district designation of the area shown in Attachment A as a Local Historic District under the City Historic Preservation Code, adopting the staff inemorandum as presented above as findings of the Boazd. Staff recommends the historic district be named the Hillside Historic District.

Shattuck's Hillside Park The other subdivision wholly locazed within the ~randview Terrace neighbonc~od was a replat of a portion of G=andview Tertace. Shattuck's Hillside Park was platted 13 February 1907 by Stella c. ShatCUCk. The small subdivision was located om the bcow of the hill, bounded on the north by Boulder Creek, on the east by 17th Street, on the south by the colorado and Southern railroad right-of-way, and on the west by the extended line of i5th stxeet. The pla: required that ~buildings erected in the subdivision cost at leasL $2,000 dollars~ and forbade the erection of any buildings other than dwellings. No chickens, domestic fowls, horses, or cattle were permitted '_n the addition. Hillside Road, which curves westward through the subdivision from 17th Street, waa reserved as a private road for the use of adjoining homeowners. (50) Ste11a F. Shattuck was born in 1860 in Laytons, New Jersey. She wae raised in Port Jervis, New York, and attended Vassa= College. Zn 1B89 , she mairied Herbert A. Shattuck and moved to Hackensack, New Sersey, where her husband was aesociated with the Thomas Edison Phonograph Company as advertising manaqer, In 1902, the Shattucks, their five child~en, and their servants moveH to Denver because of H.A. Shattuck's health. (51} A chance visit to 8oulder convinced the Shattucks to xelocate there and Herbert Shattuck then engaged in buying and selling houses. The Shattucks first occupied a small summer cottage built east of 17th street and south of Boulder Creek in 1905. They sesided thexe until their la=ge tesidence at 1605 Hillside Road was completed in 1906. Shattuck lived in his model home until his death in 1910. Mrs. Shattuck left eoulder in 1919 to live in California, where she died in 1929. (52) c. ~ ~ ~u .,y ~•: I'he Hilleide Park subdivision was Flerbert Shattuck's braincriild. In 1905, the "Daily Fierald" reported that "H.A. Shattuck....is havinq the lots southwest of the (SevenCeenth Stteet) bcidge graded, and a winding zoad built around the hill overlooking the creek. He is to erect three housea there. It is a most siqhtly place," Shattuck 6uilt a"model residence after his own taste, with elaborate tetracing and landscape effects." Shattuck believed the location he had chosen for a home would meet his ideal of "commanding a sweeping, unobstzucted view of mountain and valley, colleqe campue, and town." (53) By June 1906, ShattucY.'s woxk on landscaping the axea was noticeable and the newspaper repotted that on the hill, where teams were at work all winter, the circling dtives to the top of the hill with flower beds and groupe of trees planted have made what will eome day be as pretty a residence section ae is in Bouldex, overlooking the zapid stream. Two clever cottaqes are now being 6uilt on thi9 side by Mr. 5hattuck for tenants. Adjoining on the south is the University campus presenting ita front o£ tcees and lake artd vine-covered main huilding and dormitory. (59) While waitinq fo= hie home to be completed, Shattuck supetvised the building of the Seventeenth Sereee bridqe in Boulder, which C.B. House latec cemembered was accomplisned by men with shovels on P1ank platforms, ra[her than concrete miiers. AEter the bridqe was finished, the ground tordering eouldet Creek wae planted wieh erees and buahes and the hillside apove was landscaped by Shactuck. and W.W. Parce, a landscape architect.

Parce mar=ied Josephine Anderaon, t11e daughter oE pioneet Houldes resident Chax'les 3. Anderson, who was contractor for Highland School. William Parce died in Washington, D.C., in 1940. Architectural and Cultural Significance Comprised of a remarkable collection of 1900 to 1930 CraPtsman and Mission s:y1e bu:ldings, Grandview Terrace serves as a living Lecord of a.cchitec:ural styles and development of Boulder and Ghe University during this time period. Many of its ortginal residents served as faculty or scaff at CU, as well as being prominent in the City of &oulder's affairs. According to Cynthia Shaw McLauglhin, Events Manager for the Boettcher Mans!en that serves as the headquartets for the Colorado Arts and crafts Society, the=e exists in Bouldet "no othes collection of Craftsman and Bung`alo~r scyle nuilaings in a cohesive setting that are so indicative of a.echitectural styles. In Bouldet, there axe other examples of these sty!es but they a=e scattered about. Only in Grandview do you find such a high concentration. They should be kept as cohesive as possible and not he destroyed or moved." As the Victorian era waned at the end of the nineteenth centuzy, a new deccrative arts aesthetic- -the Arts and Crafts~Movement--emerged in England and America as an e£fort to replace the fussy, ornate, machine-made goods thaC cluttered many homes with simple, well-make pieces. Hand craftsmanship was zegarded as the antidote £or the impersonalization of the Industrial xevolution. Plain, straight-forwasd futniture (a,k.a. "Mission"), hand-ha.~nmeted metalwork, and beautifully designed and glazed pottesy became hallmaxks of the era. Besides the decorative aLts, the movement influenced architectural, landscape, and printinq design, and its tenants were espoused by educators, philosophers, and journalists. This short-lived period originated at the end of the nineteenth century with a handful of advocates, crafts people, and a few arts and crafte socieCies befo=e bursting upon the American scene in the first decade of the twentieth centuzy. Most embraced this new design philosophy with energy and enthusiasm. By the end of World War I, however, the nation turned inwards, isolating itself from the pxoblems of the rest of the world and glorifying its past with a love of anything Colonial that was viewed as the quintessential "American " style. The Arts antl Crafts Movement's heyday passed, and in the 1920s, deeiqners moved on to the Colonial Revival and Art Deco. In Colorado, the Movement left its mark primarily on zesidential architecture, as seen in the many bungalows which chaiacterize cities and towns all ove= the etate. Grander buildings like che Boettchex Mansion (Charles Boettcher's formex ret=eat) atop Lookout Mountain in Golden and La Foret (the old Bemis eatate) in Colorado Springs, atill stand as testimony to this wonderful period in architectutal history. =__-____~-~=~-=°4=°=--------------~-----------°-°-~-~--------- -----'- - ------ 9.
