Motion
On a motion by E. Budd, and seconded by F. Sheets, the Landmarks Board voted
3-1, D. Yin opposed) to issue the demolition permit, finding that the buildings
did not have historical significance under the criteria set forth in subsection (f) of
Chapter 9 -11-23, B.R.C. 1981.
D. Yin opposed the motion because it was her belief that going through the stay
of demolition process and potentially landmarking the property was a win -win
for everyone; it’s a win for the city to have another landmarked building and
recognition of Boulder’s more modest history, and for the buyer / developer to
potentially have more than one unit on the lot .
