STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion:
The Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board issues a stay of demolition for the building
located at 819 6th Street, for a period not to exceed 180 days from the day the permit
application was accepted by the city manager, in order to explore alternatives to the
demolition of the buildings, adopting the tindings as listed on page 11 of the staff
memorandum.
Alternatives to be considered indude rehabilitation of the building, incorporation of the
existing house into redevelopment plans, moving the building, or withdrawal of the
demolition permit. Staff encourages the applicant to consider landmark designation of
the house and a portion of the property and to incorporate the historic house into
redevelopment plans for the property. Landmark designation would make state tax

credits available to help offset the cost of rehabilitation, as well as providing the
possibility of a waiver of sales tax on building permits.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November lit, 2007, the Planning Department received a demolition permit
application for the house at 819 6th Street. The building is not in a designated historic
district or locally landmarked, but is over fifty years old and meets the criteria for
demolition defined under Section 9-11-23 of the Historic Preservation Ordinance. On
November 7th, 2007 the Landmarks design review committee referred the application to
the Landmarks Board for a public hearing based upon the design review committee's
finding of probable cause to believe that the building may be eligible for designation as
an individual landmark.
The house was built after designs by noted Boulder modernist architect, Hobart
Wagener. It survives as an early, unique, and remarkable example of Expressionism
architecture in Boulder executed by Hobart Wagener. Staff recommends that the
Landmarks Board impose astay-of-demolition in order to consider alternatives to the
proposed demolition.

non-traditional structural elements. The building is comprised of a pair of related,
though distinct wings arrayed in a modified "V"-shaped plan, with the open end facing
away from the street and sheltering a patio in the back. The most distinctive
characteristics of the house are the complicated intersecting of swooping butterfly and
planer shed-roof forms and exposed skeletal structural systems. These forms are
accentuated by the ribbon windows, stacked Norman brick walls, and use of the same
materials on both the interior and exterior walls of the house.
The building was altered in 1959 with the construction of an Wagener designed addition
for Theo & Margaret Lord; the remodeling consisting of a south facing shed roof at the
north of the house to provide south-facing clerestory lighting into the house and an
extension of the carport roof at the south elevation. These changes were obviously of a
functional nature to provide light and additional parking space on the property, but
were also consciously executed to enhance the sculptural angularity of the building. The
property was surveyed in 2000 as part of a survey of Modern buildings in Boulder. (See
Attachment B: Architectural Inventory Form).

Re: 819 6m StreeT- Demolition Permit
CRITERIA FOR THE BOARD'S DECISION:
The Historic Preservation ordinance states that the Landmarks Board shall consider and
base its decision upon any of the following criteria [9-11-23(f)]:
(1) The eligibility of the building for designation as an individual landmark
consistent with the purposes and standards in Sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2, B.R.C.
1981;
(2) The relationship of the building to the character of the neighborhood as an
established and definable area;
(3) The reasonable condition of the building; and
(4) The reasonable projected cost of restoration or repair.
In considering the condition of the building and the projected cost of restoration
or repair as set forth in paragraphs (3) and (4) above, the board may not consider
deterioration caused by unreasonable neglect.
As detailed below, staff considers this property is eligible for designation as an
individual landmark and that demolition would have an adverse impact on the
character of the area.
The building has incurred considerable mold damage as a result of burst water piping
but further information about the condition of the building or the cost of restoration or
repair (criteria 3 and 4) has not been received at this time. For this reason, staff has
concentrated on criteria 1 and 2 in assessing the building's eligibility for landmark
designation and its relationship to the character of the neighborhood.
CRITERION 1: INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK ELIBILITY
The following is a result of staff's research on the property relative to the significance
criteria for individual landmarks adopted by the Landmarks Board on September 17,
1975. See Attachment E: Individual Landmark Si ni cance Criteria

Re: 819 61h Street- Demolition Permit
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The house located at 819 bs' Street has historic significance as per sub-criteria 1, 2,
3and4.
1. Date of Construction: 1954
Elaboration: The building is an early example of Boulder Expressionism, is over fifty years
in age and, therefore, potentially eligible for designaiion as an individual landmark.
2. Association with Persons or Events: Hobart D. Wagener, Dr. Mahinder S. Uberoi
Elaboration: The house is the early work of Hobart D. Wagener, an acknowledged
master of Boulder Modernist architectural design. Born in 1921 in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, Hobart D. Wagener graduated from The University of Michigan in 1944 and
moved to Boulder in 1950. He worked with Eggers & Higgens in New York, Pietro
Belluschi in Portland, Oregon, and James Hunter before opening his own practice in
Boulder in 1953. His firm, Hobart D. Wagener Associates, designed over 200 projects,
sixteen of which were featured in architectural and professional publications; ten
received national or regional awards from the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Examples of his work include the Wagener House, which was published in The
Architectural Record in 1967 as part of a national recognition of twenty homes in
America; Fairview High School, an addition to Casey Middle School (Western
Mountain Region, AIA, Merit Award, 1957), St. John's Episcopal Chapel, The
Williams Village Dormitories at the University of Colorado, the Mountain Savings &
Loans Building (Western Mountain Region, AIA, Design of Excellence, 1956),
Presbyterian Manor apartments (Federal Housing Authority National Awards
Program, First Honor Award, 1963), the Boulder County Justice Center, the Boulder
City Hall Addition, Wesley Foundation Student Center & Chapel (Western Mountain
Region, AIA, Merit Award, 1958).Wagener co-authored the book 'The School Library'
in 1963 and served as the president of the Boulder Chamber of Commerce in 1971,
Chairman of the Boulder Planning Commission in 1966 and acted as Treasurer,
Secretary, Vice President and President of the Colorado Society of the American
Institute of Architects. He was named "Architect of the Year" in 1995 by the
American Institute of Architects Colorado. Wagener died September 30, 2005. See
Attachment F: Resume: Hobart D. Wagener, FAIA, Architect
Mahinder S. Uberoi was a professor of aerospace engineering sciences at the
University of Colorado from 1963 unti12000. Born in India in 1924, he earned his
doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 1953 and was named a Guggenheim
Fellow in 1957. He served on the faculty at the University of Michigan unti11963,
when he joined the CU faculty as chair of the newly named department of aerospace

engineering sciences. Dr. Uberoi had earned a reputation for his work in magneto
hydrodynamics, turbulent flow and other basic sciences of fluid flow. As chairman,
he built up_the new department, adding faculty strong in basic research areas in
fluids, controls and biology (to create a bioengineering program). His term as chair
ended in 1975.
He was the author or co-author of a number of scholarly papers, including
"Directional Spectrum of Wind Generated Ocean Waves," published in the Journal of
Fluid Dynamics in 1963; "Magnetically Distorted Polytropes: Structure and Radial
Oscillations," in The Astrophysical Journal in 1972; and "Magnetized Positive Column
Between Coaxial Cylinders," in Physica Scripta in 1986. Dr. Uberoi later filed eight
lawsuits over six years against the University, alleging among other complaints,
discrimination against foreign-born faculty, hazardous laboratory conditions and
violations of the state's Public Records Act. He was terminated as a member of the
CU faculty in 2000, making him the first tenured faculty member to be dismissed by
the Board of Regents. Dr. Uberoi died December 21~t, 2006. See Attachment G:
University of Colorado Obituary: M.S. Uberoi
3. Development of the Community: Modernist Architectural Movement
Elaboration: The building is associated with the development of the local Modernist
architectural movement and survives as a unique and remarkable example of early
Expressionist design from the post-war period in Boulder.
4. Recognition by Authorities: Modern Architecture Survey
Elaboration: The building was recommended as being eligible for listing in the State
and National Registers of Historic Places in the 2000 survey of Boulder Modernism.
Its is also significant as an early, unique, and remarkable embodiment of
Expressionism, as the work of Hobart Wagener, for its high standard of construction
and craft, and its organic relationship to its site and associated landscape design.
Furthermore, the house is significant for the special engineering features required to
resolve the structural requirements of the roof and as a building identified as being a
contributing resource to the proposed Flatirons Park Historic District.
ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The house at 819 6th Street has architectural significance as per sub-criteria 1, 7_,
3, and 4.
1. Recognized Period or Style: Expressionism
Elaboration: The house embodies the forward-looking architectural manner of
Expressionism of the 1950s and 1960s through its dramatic sculptural forms, non-

traditional structural elements, butterfly and shed roofs, and uses of the same
materials inside.and out. Architectural historians credit the forms found in
American Expressionism to have been as influenced by Streamline Moderne
architecture of the pre-war period as much as from 1920s German Expressionism
from where the American variant takes its name. Never-the-less, Expressionism
is a rare form of Modern architecture in the United States, but did find acceptance
in Boulder where at least fifteen examples of this type were built including the
Methodist Student Center (Wagener,1957), Volsky House (Haertling, 1966), and
the Boulder Valley Eye Clinic (Haertling, 1967). The house at 819 6~" Street retains
a very high degree of historic integrity. Original drawings of the house and
addition are located at the Carnegie Library.
2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: Hobart Wagener
Elaboration: Early work of Hobart Wagener an acknowledged master of Boulder
Modernist architectural design.
3. Artistic Merit: Sculptural roof, high standard of construction and craft
Elaboration: Unique and remarkable example of Expressionism exemplified by
strong sculptural forms paired with non-traditional structural elements. The
building is comprised of a pair of related, though distinct wings arrayed in a
modified "V"-shaped plan, with the open end facing away from the street and
sheltering a patio in the back. Building is notable for its complicated intersecting
of swooping butterfly and planer shed-roof forms and exposed skeletal structural
systems accentuated by ribbon windows, stacked Roman brick walls, and use of
the same materials on both the interior and exterior walls of the house. High level
of attention to detail in the structural requirements for construction of intersecting
butterfly and shed roofs, custom brickwork and windows, exterior wall and
associated landscaping.
4. Example of the Uncommon: Expressionism
Elaboration: Unique and remarkable example of early Hobart Wagener
architectural design in Boulder. Expressionism is a rare post-war variant of
Modernism in the United States, but found acceptance in Boulder were a number
of buildings of this type were built. Expressionistic buildings remarkably varied
in form, but are characterized by dramatic sculptural forms, non-traditional
structural elements, butterfly and shed roofs, and uses of the same materials
inside and out. Expressionism is most often associated with the "jet age" and
architecture of the late 1950s and 1960s in its soaring forms. Probably the most
famous examples of Expressionism in America are Dulles Airport (Eero Saarinen)

and the Air Force Academy Chapel (Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, both
constructed in 1962. The 2000 survey of Modern Architecture indicates that this
building is the earliest example of Expressionism in Boulder by at least three
years. Of the fifteen buildings identified as being constructed in this manner in
Boulder, five were designed by Hobart Wagener.
5. Indigenous Qualities: None observed
ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE:
Summary: The building at 819 6t,, Street has environmental significance under criteria 1, 2,
3and5.
1. Site Characteristics: Sited at the base of the Foothills, landscaping
Elaboration: Integration of house into the landscape; interior/exterior design of
house. Mature juniper trees, native yucca, scrub, and grasses and boulders.
2. Compatibility with Site: Integration into site
Elaboration: House is consciously sited and designed to b compatible with site.
Flatirons to the north are echoed in the dominant roof forms of the house.
3. Geographic Importance: Familiar visual feature
Elaboration: Unique placement, orientation and form represents an established
and familiar feature of the 6"' St. streetscape, Flatirons, neighborhood, and city as
a whole.
4. Environmental Appropriateness: None observed
5. Area Integrity: Contributing building in potential historic district.
Elaboration: The property has been identified as being a contributing resource to
the proposed Flatirons Park Historic District.
CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD:
This property is located on the west side of 6th Street between Cascade and Aurora
Avenue, and is surrounded by a residential subdivision and is set at the base of the
foothills. The neighborhood is an eclectic mix of architectural expression, much of which
is Modernist in inspiration..

Re: 819 61h Street- Demolition Permit
CRITERION 3: CONDITION OF THE BUILDING AND CRITERION 4:
PROJECTED COST OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR:
Because no information has been provided by the applicant about the condition of the
buildings or cost of restoration or repair, staff concentrated on criteria 1 and 2, the
buildings eligibility for landmark designation and their relationship to the character of
the neighborhood in making a recommendation on the appropriateness of demolition.
Staff has visited the site and, while the building appears to be in good condition
structurally and to retain a very high degree of historic integrity, significant mold
blooms were observed on the interior walls of the building. Such contamination might
require removal of interior walls as part of an abatement program. The projected cost to
restore the exterior of the house appears to be moderate.
NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT:
Staff has received several a-mails from neighbors See Attachment F.
THE BOARD'S DECISION:
If the Landmarks Board finds that the house proposed to be demolished does not have
historic significance under the criteria set forth in Section 9-11-23(f) B.R.C., the city
manager shall issue a demolition permit.
If the Landmarks Board finds that the house proposed for demolition may have
significance under the criteria set forth above, the application shall be suspended for a
period not to exceed 180 days from the date the permit application was accepted by the
city manager as complete, in order to provide the time necessary to consider alternatives
to the building. [Section 9-11-23(h)]. A 180-day stay period would expire on May 17,
2008.
Should the Board choose to issue the demolition permit, or if the permit is allowed to
expire, staff recommends that demolition be conditioned upon submittal of the
following to the Planning Department for recording with Carnegie Library:
1. A site plan showing the location of all existing improvements on the subject
property;
2. Measured elevation and plan drawings of the building depicting existing
conditions, fully annotated with architectural details and materials indicated on
the plan;
3. Black and white large format archival quality photographs of all exterior
elevations.

21 General architectural descri lion
The Labrot House is set back from 6th Street behind ahorseshoe-shaped driveway on a large lot. Though the
house is fairly modest in size, ft is densely composed. It comprises a pair of related though distinct pavilion
wings arrayed in a mod~ed "V"-shaped plan with the open end facing away from the street and sheltering a
patio in the back. The pavilions are linked together with a connecting corridor wing. There is an exposed
skeletal structure. This exposed structure is composed of wooden posts and lintels, and is expressed in the
exterior walls of the pavilion wings by a series of vertical wooden piers which have been submerged into the
walls and pass through the ribbon windows. These submerged piers contain, under the ribbon windows, vertical
rectangles of masonry carried out in stacked Roman brick. The same detail is used for garden walls that
function as an extension of the house. The house has a complicated system of butterfly and shed roofs. The
various roof elements that perch on the exposed structural members have been conceived as planes that seem
to float above the house, an effect enhanced by the inherent transparency of the ribbon windows that line the
top of the walls across the front. The landscape includes mature junipers, native scrub and grasses, and
boulders.

The Labrot House is significant for its association with the development of the Modem movement in
" architecture in Boulder. Built in 1954, ItiS an early example of an important building in the history of post-war
arohitecture in Boulder. The Labrot House is significant in that it embodies the characteristics of the
F~cpressionist style: it has a strong sculptural form with non-tredi6onal structural elements, the same materials.
are used inside and out, then; is a geometric floor plan and ornamental program, there is the use of the"
cantilever, and there is a complex roof stlvcture composed of butterfly and shed roof forms. The Labrot House
is sign~cent for the high standard of the construction craft The masonry, wood and glass work is of the highest
quality. The uncehvenfional building form created special constNCtion problems that were deftly solved. The
Labrot Mouse is significant because k is the work of Hobart D. Wegener, an acknowledged master of Boulder
architecture. The Labrot House is an early example of Wagen~r's work. Tire Labrot House is significant for fts
relationship to Its site. The building is dremaficaly sited above the street at the rear of a large lot, set against
the backdrop of the foothills. The Labrot House is significant for its relatonship to an associated landscape
design. A related wood fence to the north divides the front yard from the rear. formal outdoor spaces behind
the house serves, as outdoor living areas. The Labrot House is significant for the special engineering features
required to resolve the structural requirements of its unconventional form. The Labrot House has been
ident~ed as being a contributing building to the proposed Flatirons Park Wistoric""District.
The Labrot House also satisfies Criteria Consideration G, achieving sign'fiicence within the past fifty years due
to its exceptional significance, This exceptional significance is defined by its integral relationship to the post-
war detelopment of Modem architecture in Boulder, a movement which has received extensive press
Coverage; by comparison with other Modem architecture of the post-war period in Boulder, and as documented
by an ever-increasing body of scholarly evaluation on the historical importance of Modem architecture which
developed during the post-war period.

$eptember 1975
On September 6, 1974, the City Council adopted Ordinance #4000 providing procedures
for the designation of Landmarks and Historic Districts in the City of Boulder. The purpose of
the ordinance is the preservation of the City's permitted cultural, historic, and azchitectural
heritage. The Landmazks Board is permitted by the ordinance to adopt rules and regulations as it
deems necessary for its own organization and procedures. The following Significance Criteria
have been adopted by the Boazd to help evaluate each potential designation in a consistent and
equitable manner.
Historical Si¢nificance
The place (building, site, azea) should show chazacter, interest or value as part of the
development, heritage, or cultural chazacteristics of the community, state or nation; be the site of
a historic, or prehistoric event that had an effect upon society; or exemplify to cultural, political,
economic, or social heritage of the community.
1. Date of Construction: This azea of consideration places pazticulaz importance on
the age of the structure.
2. Association with Historical Persons or Events: This association could be national,
state, or local.
3. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder: This is most
applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure,
though is some cases residences might qualify. It stresses the importance of
preserving those places which demonstrate the growth during different time spans
in the history of Boulder, in order to maintain an awazeness of our cultural,
economic, social or political heritage.
4. Recognition by Authorities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, Inc. the
Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, Crossen, Frink, Gladden,
Paddock, Schooland, etc), State Historical Society, The hnnrovement of Boulder,
Colorado by F.L. Olmsted, or others in published form as having historical
interest and value:

PROFESSIONAL PROFILE:
My architectural practice, Hobart D. Wagener Associates,
was established in Boulder, Colorado, in 1953, and
continued as our partnership, Wagener Vander Vorste
Architects, from 1977 until I retired in 1986. We designed
~ more than two hundred projects many of which received
design awards and were published in professional magazines.
~ In 1995 I was selected "Architect of the Year" for the
State of Colorado. This recognition, awarded by the
American Institute of Architects Colorado, is made annually
to only one architect in the state; my award was received
in the third year since the establishment of this program.
In 1984 the local organization Historic Boulder selected
me for the recognition "the outstanding designer in Boulder
over the past 50 years".
The professional magazine The Architectural Record included
our own house in Boulder in its annual selection of twenty
houses for national recognition. These residences were
featured in the May, 1967, publication. A photograph of
our home was the cover picture.
The book 25 Years of Record Houses, Edited by Herbert L.
Smith, Jr., and published in 1981 by McGraw-Hill, includes
our own Boulder home in its selection of 500 award houses
constructed throughout the United States during the past
twenty-five years, 1956 to 1981.
I co-authored the book The School Library with Ralph E:
Ellsworth, Director of Libraries at the Univesity of
Colorado; this research project for facilities for
independent~~udy in the secondary school was done for the
Ford Foundation's Educational Facilities Laboratories.
I was president of the Colorado Society of the American
Institute of Architects in 1973, president of the Boulder
Chamber of Commerce in 1971, Chairman of the Boulder
Planning Commission in 1966.
I was selected to the College of Fellows of the American
Institute of Architects, in 1971. This recognition, awarded
by colleagues within the profession, is the second
highest award made at the National level by the AIA, and is
held by approximately 2600 architects in the United States.
I am included in the Marquis publication Who's Who in
America.

MAHINDER S. UBEROI (December 21, 2006)
Former faculty member Mahinder S. Uberoi of aerospace engineering sciences at
CU-Boulder died on Nov. 25 in Boulder. He was 82.
Dr. Uberoi was born in 1924 in India. He later became a naturalized U.S. citizen.
He earned his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University in 1953 and was named
a Guggenheim Fellow in 1957. He served on the faculty at the University of
Michigan until 1963, when he joined the CU faculty as chair of the newly named
department of aerospace engineering sciences.
Dr. Uberoi had earned a reputation for his work in magneto hydrodynamics,
turbulent flow and other basic sciences of fluid flow. As chairman, he built up the
new department, adding faculty strong in basic research areas in fluids, controls
and biology (to create a bioengineering program). His theory was to bring in
researchers strong in basic sciences and have them apply their work to
engineering. His term as chair ended in 1975•
He was the author or co-author of a number of scholarly papers, including
"Directional Spectrum of Wind Generated Ocean Waves," published in the
Journal of Fluid Dynamics in 1963; "Magnetically Distorted Polytropes: Structure
and Radial Oscillations," in The Astrophysical Journal in 1972; and "Magnetized
Positive Column Between Coaxial Cylinders," in Physica Scripta in 1986.
Dr. Uberoi later filed eight lawsuits over six years against the University, alleging
among other complaints, discrimination against foreign-born faculty, hazardous
laboratory conditions and violations of the state's Public Records Act. He was
terminated as a member of the CU faculty in 2000, making him the first tenured
faculty member to be dismissed by the Board of Regents.
His case arguing that CU was subject to the open records law went to the
Colorado Supreme Court. The court ruled in 1984 that the law did not apply to
CU, but in 1985 the Legislature enacted a subsection to the law, bringing-every
state institution of higher education, including the University of Colorado, under
the provisions of the open records act.
Dr. Uberoi also was a longtime member of the folkdance community in Boulder.
He had no family in the local area.
Crist Mortuary of Boulder was handling arrangements.
Regents terminate tenured professor
MAHINDER UBEROI FIRED'FOR CAUSE' FROM UCB POST
February 24, 2000
By Jefferson Dodge
In a highly unusual move, the Board of Regents approved a resolution last week
dismissing one of CU-Boulder's tenured professors, an individual who has filed
numerous lawsuits against the university and has claimed for years that CU has
hindered his teaching and research.
Mahinder Uberoi, a 75-year-old full professor who has been rostered in UCB's
College of Engineering and Applied Science since ig62, was terminated for cause.
Whereas faculty are sometimes dismissed because of budgetary constraints or
program discontinuance, termination for cause is described in the CU Faculty
Handbook as "demonstrable professional incompetency, neglect of duty,
insubordination or other conduct which falls below minimum standards of
professional integrity."
The board's resolution notes that iTberoi was given an opportunity to be heard
before a faculty committee and the regents. It also states that the dismissal,
which was recommended by President John Buechner, will not be effective until
Feb. 28, 2ooi, so Uberoi will continue to receive his $40;520 annual salary for
one more year. "This action by the Board of Regents makes a significant
statement in two ways," the regents said in a prepared statement. "First, we value
the tenured faculty at the University of Colorado. Their importance is
strengthened by the board's action. Second, the regents are restating our long-
term commitment that with faculty rights go responsibilities."
Because of legal concerns, CU officials would not comment further about the
action, and Uberoi did not return calls from Silver & Gold Record. But a review of
previous 58cGR articles and several documents obtained in an open records
request reveal that Uberoi and the University have been at odds for decades.
Uberoi, a native of Delhi, India, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen, earned his
Ph.D. in engineering in 1952 from Johns Hopkins University and six years later,
was named a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow for study and research
at European universities. After serving as chair of UCB's aerospace engineering
sciences department from ig62 to 1975, he appeared before the regents in 1976 to
object to the appointment of Franklin Essenberg as the new chair of aerospace
engineering sciences, accusing engineering Dean Max Peters of ethnic
discrimination. Six years latei, he filed a $i55 million lawsuit against CU and 6z
University officials and employees, including President Arnold Weber, UCB
Chancellor Harrison Shull, regents, faculty, department chairs and engineering
deans.
In the suit, Uberoi alleged that CU had blocked the hiring of foreign-born
professors, claiming that when he was department chair he had been ordered not
to hire C.S. Yih of the University of Michigan, who is of Chinese descent. Uberoi
also said in the suit that the University had disrupted his research, reduced his
academic standing and rendered him a "professor without a portfolio," with no
classes or other academic work. Uberoi alleged that he had received poor
teaching evaluations because of unsubstantiated student opinions and was
exposed to carcinogenic chemicals after he was forced to clean up oil spills in his
lab when his requests for better working conditions were ignored. The lawsuit
ballooned over the following few years, as Uberoi filed a half dozen other
complaints against CU, including an assault and battery charge against campus
police.
In 1984, after Uberoi had requested a host of documents under the state Open
Records Law to buttress his suit against CU, the Colorado State Supreme Court
denied his request, ruling 5-z that the state's sunshine laws did not apply to the
University. Largely because of that ruling, by i98~ the Legislature passed bills
placing CU and the Board of Regents within the scope of the Open Records Law,
a move that allowed then-State Rep. Bill Owens to sue CU later that year for
withholding information about a planned sabbatical in Cuba for Larry Mosqueda
of political science at UCD.
In ig86, U.S. District Court~i~adge Lae West dismissed i7ber_o suit against-the
University as "frivolous" and ordered him to pay CU's court costs, which were
later determined to be $9,000. In dismissing the suit, West said Uberoi had
"sabotaged" the case by failing to comply with federal rules and orders of the
court. West said Uberoi submitted an "absolute avalanche of procedural motions
and reconsiderations" after the court had denied the same motions once, twice or
three times. "The conclusion is inescapable, he does not seek a fair trial on the
merits, but only to punish the defendants for disagreeing with him on any matter,
important or unimportant;' West wrote. "[Uberoi's] demands, if met, would
make a mockery of the court system."
In i99o, after Uberoi had persisted with his litigation against CU, the Colorado
Court of Appeals ruled that he must stay out of the courts unless he hires an
attorney, upholding a Boulder District Court decision disallowing Uberoi from
serving "pro se" as his own attorney, which he had done throughout the previous
decade.
During the i98os, on his annual UCB reports of scholarly, professional and
university activities, Uberoi listed his litigation efforts against CU under "Public
Service in a Professional Capacity." He also claimed in those reports that former
engineering Dean Richard Seebass "denied Uberoi s request to teach in tJberoi s
/1Qari7 Ems. e r, o...._,. Cl7
discipline, stating that there are no courses for Uberoi to teach in the College of
Engineering." Uberoi also alleged in the reports that Seebass and others had
packed up his teaching and research materials and put them in storage. "For
years, the University has not allowed me to teach," Uberoi wrote in a letter to the
editor of S&GR in 1989. "It has dismantled and destroyed my research projects. It
has packed my research data and writings in 35 large boxes and moved them to
unknown places."
Since records indicated that he has not filed an annual report of his activities
since i99o, it is unclear what i7beroi s teaching and research load has been over
the past io years, although he is listed in UCB course catalogs as the instructor of
several classes during the 1992-93 academic year.

Subject: Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board/Uberoi House/819 6th Street
To the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board:
We are writing to support the proposed demolition of the house at 819 Sixth Street in Boulder. This structure is
incongruous with the surrounding neighborhood and has been regarded as an eyesore for many years. Anew
home on this property would be welcome!
We are residents of the immediate neighborhood, one block east of the above property, and have lived here for
35 years. We walk by the house almost daily and have watched it deteriorate over the years. We are in fawx
of saving old houses whenever possible (our own house is over 100 ears old), but this house does not appear
to have enough character to warrant the expense of saving it.
Your positive consideration of this proposal would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Subject: Hearing on 819 6th st
To the Landmarks Preservation Board,
I live at 595 Aurora Ave just down the street from 819 6th St. I
pass that property several times a day as I have for many years. It
is a common structure with no outstanding features and is in a
deplorable state of repair. There are many similar structures
throughout Boulder and this is no prime example of any particular
architecture.
I urge you to allow the destruction of the building by a potential
new owner. The prospect of a new green building would enhance that
lot and the rest of the neighborhood. There is nothing to be gained
by waiting for 6 months and the current building is not worth
preserving. The neighborhood has been very patient with Mr. Uberoi
knowing full well his love of suing.
I would have testified but have a previous family commitment.
Please let me know if I can be of any further help in this matter.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jane W. Butcher

Dear Landmarks Preservation Board, 12/3/07
We are writing as neighbors of 819 6th Street, the Uberois property.
We have lived at 885 Circle Drive for 17 years, a block and a half from this property. We appreciate the
importance of considering the architectural value of a house.
However in our view, this property does not have sufficient architectural interest to warrant a 6 month
study of the property.
We would be in favor of allowing the property to immediately be sold "as is" with the ability for a future
owner to either demolish the structure for future construction or remodel the existing structure. Delaying
the process or declaring it architecturally significant does not seem to us to be a good idea.
Thank you for considering our perspective on this property.
Sincerely,
Lou and Mark Moeller
