Preservation Implications
Architecture importance
The Labrot / Uberoi home is one of the best examples of the Frank Lloyd Wright "Usonian" style
of architecture in the City. In 1936, when the United States was in the depths of an economic
depression, Frank Lloyd Wright developed a series of homes he called Usonian. Designed to
control costs, Wright's Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, and little ornamentation.
The word Usonia is an abbreviation for United States of North America. Frank Lloyd Wright
aspired to create a democratic, distinctly American style that was affordable for the "common
people." These houses feature low roofs, often with high clerestory windows to bring in ample
daylighting. The floor plans are arranged with rooms opening up to each other allowing spaces
to allow and be flexible. These buildings make abundant use of brick, wood, and other natural
materials. Usonian homes were small, one-story structures set on concrete slabs with piping for
radiant heat beneath. The kitchens were incorporated into the living areas. Open car ports took
the place of garages. Almost all of these features can be seen in the Labrot / Uberoi house.
The principle deviations are the expressive upward sloping "butterfly" roofs and the split level
floor plan. Both are characteristic of the architecture of Hobart Wagener.
The house was designed by the architecture firm of Hobart Wagener. His company is the most
prolific modern architecture firm in the history of Boulder. It even surpassed the work of famed
Boulder architect Charles Haertling in terms of the number of buildings produced during the
career of Mr. Wagener. Mr. Wagener was educated in Michigan and initially practiced
architecture in Portland Oregon, working for the internationally known architect Pietro Belluschi.
In the mid 1950's he and his wife moved to Boulder, where he began to work in the office of
James Hunter. Mr. Hunter's firm is known as the designer of the Municipal Building, the Boulder
Public Library, the Masonic Temple and the First Presbyterian church.
Social importance
- The Labrot / Uberoi building is characteristic of a unique type of house found in the University Hill
and Flatirons neighborhoods - primarily homes for artists and professors. These were the most
progressive and innovative homes in Boulder during the time period from 1940 to 1970. They
always capture the individual personalities of the home owners. Also the homes were typically
built very affordably to match up well with the limited income of artists and teachers. Often these
were built on land that had difficult site constraints so the homes were specifically shaped to take
advantage of the dramatic property locations. In this case, the property slopes a lot from back to
front.
Historic importance
- This property was the home of Syl Labrot and Mahinder Ubero.
Syl Labrot was born in New Orleans in 1929 and died in 1977. He was an acclaimed artist. He
worked in many aspects of photography and printmaking including a collaboration with Walter
Chappell and Nathan Lyons, that produced the book 'Under the Sun' in 1960 and 'Pleasure Beach' in
the 1970's. His photographs, prints and paintings were widely exhibited and collected during his
lifetime.
Dr. Uberoi was a celebrated and infamous professor at CU. He 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). Nis 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.
Mr. Uberori is the second owner of the property. A Mr. Labrot commissioned the design of the house
in 1954. Mr. Uberoi lived in the home from the time of his arrival in Boulder until his death in 2006.

Ms Harrison:
Just for the record, I most emphatically disagree with your position: it is not my "decision" to
present less then a complete body of evidence regarding the lack of historical value of the
property in question. When the presentation of this evidence can consume only ten minutes
(and perhaps only three minutes) because of "rules" that are imposed arbitrarily (and without
any statutory premise whatsoever), that becomes a "decision" of the so-called "quasi-judicial"
body that makes up these rules (or its staff, as the case may be). And I would note that the
original burden of making sure that the administrative record included a fair and well-
balanced presentation or the evidence was that of the Board and its staff; in this respect, the
staff seriously failed to provide such a record. In all events, if this arbitrary process produces
an "administrative record" that is defective, the result cannot be sustained in a true judicial
review; that is a conclusion based on Supreme Court precedents which are at least eighty
years old.
A sustainable administrative record in a case such as this one would necessarily include all
evidential matter that has been considered that would potentially sustain the opposite of the
result reached and the logic path that was followed to reach the actual result. (See, for
example, Overton Park v Volpe (1971); Burlington Truck Lines v U.S. (1962); SEC v Chenery
(1943)). It appears here that NO evidence supporting the demolition permit was even
considered by the staff and the criteria that might have supported that result were
meaningfully omitted from the work that the staff actually did; it is my view that the burden
of proof to sustain the denial of the demolition permit lies with the Board and that burden
cannot be sustained by the meaningful manipulation of the evidence. None of this error in
process and procedure represents my "decision".
The record as it now stands is seriously flawed by acts of commission (such as the manifestly
false representation that the structure was designed by the named architect) and acts of
omission (such as refusing to consider evidence in support of the demolition permit). These
are not my "decisions" but I certainly can oppose the possibility that they will diminish the
investment backed expectations of those having property interests and the investment
and aesthetic interests of those who must gaze upon this architectural, construction and
maintenance nightmare.

Unfortunately, I must differ with you. Not only was "all" information not posted on the
website on Friday, November 30, 2007, it has not yet been provided to me and apparently
may not be available even tomorrow.
It now seems very apparent that a full and complete record could not possibly be made at
the Wednesday proceeding, particularly under the timing circumstances you have outlined.
Page 3 of 6
However, it is also apparent that a great deal could be accomplished in a proceeding on that
date and I am, at this point, uncertain about what additional evidential materials would be
necessary for a full and complete record, supportable on review.
Under these circumstances, I would not agree to a postponement nor would I now agree that
the proceedings anticipated for Wednesday will necessarily produce a fair and complete
record; that remains to be seen.
Prior to the proceeding on Wednesday, I anticipate providing to you a list of issues and
questions that grow out of both the StafF Report and the application of the City's regulations
for Historical Marking considerations.

All information concerning this item was posted on the website on Friday, November 30,
2007.
It is your choice if you wish to submit any information or if you wish to make any statements
at the Landmarks Board hearing. You may request more time, or that the hearing occur at a
later date. Subject to code requirements, such a request is at the discretion of the
Landmarks Board.
If the Board is so inclined, landmarking, or even designation would not happen on
Wednesday night. They would set a hearing to determine whether or not to initiate
such landmarking. If they decide to initiate at that subsequent hearing, then another
hearing is set to determine the Board's decision on landmarking. Ultimately landmarking
occurs by ordinance by the city council, which is also byquasi-judicial hearing.

Thank you for your a-mail.
It is not clear that there will be time before the Board meeting for the submission of written
materials. I note in this connection that the complete report has now been provided to me
and it is within about 48 hours of the hearing itself.
One of the Board's communications to me (and one of the regulations applicable to this
proceeding) characterized the hearing as "quasi judicial" in nature. If that is the case, and if
the "record" that will be created and potentially relied upon by a court is to be made in this
proceeding, it is my view that the scheduling of the hearing, the time allowed for respondent
presentation of exhibits, argument and witnesses is grossly inadequate and does not comport
to due process obligations of the city government. I would point out in this connection that
the Board staff undoubtedly spent a matter of weeks, if not longer, in gathering evidential
materials in support of their position. Forty eight hours is obviously not adequate time for
response even though the city has the burden of proof in this matter.
Since you appear to be counsel to the board and its staff, I do not intend to the board or its
staff directly; I shall assume that you will carry on those communications as their counsel.

I just sent you an email. However, after I sent it, I realized that perhaps you may want to
get information to the Landmarks Board prior to the meeting. We are very limited in time, so
it is beneficial for everyone to submit information ahead of time, including the resumes of
anyone you would like to have speak. We have a bit of a time constraint here, since the
meeting is Wednesday night, but please feel free to forward any information you may have to
them ahead of time. Under present Board policies, applicants get 10 minutes and also get to
rebut. However, you have stated you are not representing the applicant, so you would get 3
minutes, but anyone else who is part of your group, would also get 3 minutes each. The
Board may extend the time at its discretion.
You will find the email addresses of the Board and staff at the website links that I gave you in
Page 5 of 6

At the moment, I note that what you sent me did not include the attachments to the report; those attachments

I would also like to receive the notes, memoranda, exhibits and all other materials that were generated by the
staff in compiling this report. This would include, but not be limited to, the field notes, additional photographs
and drawings and other materials that may have represented any site visits and research. These additional
materials must include all of the documents reviewed representing the original design and construction of the
structure which appears not to have been the work of Hobart Wagener at all. Further, to the extent that ANY
documents, however informal, may have been generated concerning the criteria "(3)" and "(4)" of subsection 9-
11-23(f), those materials should also be produced at this time.
In addition, I would be obliged if you would provide a copy of the complete Agenda for the subject meeting.

Mr. Hewat,
First, I am NOT a representative of the Uberoi estate nor do I represent the estate in any manner whatsoever.
However, I would appreciate copies of the records you plan to distribute on Friday.
Second, if the proceeding isquasi-judicial in nature and if testimony is to be elicited and a record made, ten
Page 2 of.5
minutes for that purpose is an absurdly short period of time; an expert witness's qualifications alone could
consume that much time. For this reason, it is my view that if such a limitation on the presentation of evidence
exists, it is contrary to due process and is likely to result in the creation of a materially defective record which
would not survive judicial review. Further if such a limitation exists, I request that you provide me a citation to
law, rules or regulations that embody such a limitation.
Third, I refer to your statement that "We are still in the process of undertaking research on the property,
architect Hobart Wagener, ans M.S. Uberoi." The meaning of this sentence is not understood by me. I am
familiar with at least some of the work of H. Wagener and would expect that evidence of his involvement in the
"design" of this particular structure would be accompanied by a substantial amount of evidence as to the record
he created in that connection. From my own experience, both as a lawyer and as an architect and civil
engineer, I anticipate that the record for this structure would probably be found on the back of a napkin.
Fourth, I assume that the staff memo including an analysis of the research would be accomplished by those
having expertise in design and construction disciplines including, of course, historical elements of design. I also
assume that the memo would take into consideration a careful analysis of the condition of the structure.
Fifth, a closed proceeding by the Board is not, in my opinion, consistent with the laws of the State of Colorado
but, in any event, I assume that a full and complete transcript of everything that occurs in such a "closed"
proceeding will be made and will be made part of the record, subject to judicial review.
Sixth, I do not believe that an advisory board under any circumstances has the authority, the Revised Code
notwithstanding, so to delay the demolition of this structure as to cause a half year to pass before any decision
is made. Further, your statement about alternatives suggests that tfie decision of this "advisory board" would be
final as to the rights of demolition and that only the consideration of alternatives, including, of all things, a
"Landmark Designation" would survive. This will serve as notice that such a determination by the advisory
board may result in immediate judicial review.
Seventh, I am familiar with all of the code provisions that you have cited.

Dear Mr. Fenster:
Thanks for your recent correspondence regarding documents relating to the demolition hearing for the house at
819 6th per section 9-11-23(e-g) of the Boulder Revised Code. All documentation relating to this review is public
record and subject to your inspection. So far, an application submitted by Andrew Kossoy (and the estate of
M.S. Uberoi) has been filed, the property has been posted, and a public notice has been posted in the Boulder
Dairy Camera and on the city's web site. We are still in the process of undertaking research on the property,
architect Hobart Wagener, ans M.S. Uberoi. An analysis of this research will be included in a staff memo to the
Landmarks Board. This memo will be sent to you as representative of the Uberoi estate via courier on Friday,
November 30th. As soon as the memo is completed, I will also a-mail a copy to you directly. Of course, you also
have the right to make a records request under the Colorado Freedom of Information Act.
In terms of the hearing, it is quasi-judicial in nature. As the applicant, you will have ten minutes to present to
the Landmarks Board following a roughly ten minute presentation by city staff. Your ten minutes needs to
include any expert testimony that is going to be presented on the applicants behalf. Following the
presentations, a public comment period is opened and each speaker is afforded three minutes to speak. The
applicant then has an opportunity to rebut any public testimony. Following the public hearing the Board will
Page 3 of 5
close the public hearing and deliberate. The Board may choose to: approve the application to demolish the
building if they find it has no historic significance under section 9-11-23(f)(1-4). If the Board finds that the
building may have historic significance per section 9-11-23(f)(1-4), the application will be suspended for a
period of up to 180 days to seek alternatives to the demolition per 9-11-23(h). This may include, but is not
limited to the initiation individual landmark designation.
The following is a link to Chapter 9-11 (Historic Preservation) of the Boulder Revised Code for your reference:

Ms Conover,
Many thanks for your response and the two documents. Because of the very slow mail process, I would prefer
that the additional documents be either attached to a-mails or faxed to my Denver office (303) 634-4400, or, if
necessary, left for me at a location where they can be picked up. I assume that these additional documents will
cover the remaining categories outlined in my earlier a-mail to Mr. Hewat.
I am also interested in knowing (a) how much time will be allowed at the proceeding on December 5 for
consideration of this matter; (b) whether professional as well as layperson presentations will be allowed, and (c)
what will be the schedule for further presentations and consideration of evidential materials pertaining to the
matter.
Further, I am interested in knowing whether it is the practice of the Board to withhold any materials, including
those prepared by staff or by Board members, from disclosure to the public (so that proceeding under the
Colorado FOIA might be necessary) and whether you and the Board can give me informal assurances that all
documents relating to this matter, including informal notes and electronic media, will be retained under Rule 26

RE: Microbial Evaluation Report and Remediation Protocol
819 6`" Street, Boulder, CO
WALSH Project #7976-010
Dear Ms. Catlin:
Walsh Enviromnental Scientists and Engineers, LLC (WALSH) is pleased to submit this report
surmnarizing the initial microbial evaluation performed at the residential structure located at 819
6th Street, Boulder, Colorado (iJberoi Estate). WALSH performed the initial evaluation on
November 16, 2007. The objective of this evaluation was to establish the extent of
contamination to use as a baseline for comparison to conditions following remediation of the
affected areas. WALSH was also requested to provide a remediation protocol to address
microbial contamination that was present in the structure.
METHODS
Interviews
During the site visit, no property representatives were available for interview. Before and after
the site, Walsh personnel interviewed Ms. Jessica Catlin of Stevens, Littman, Biddison, Tharp &
Weinberg, LLC, which was acting as legal representative of the Uberoi estate. Walsh also
interviewed Mr. Randall Nishiyama (property representative and previous friend of the late Mr.
Uberoi) following the site visit.
Site Inspection
On November 16, 2007, WALSH personnel responded to the residence and performed a
walkthrough of the residence to become familiar with the affected areas. The property was
vacant at the time of the site visit. A representative moisture survey was performed tluoughout
the home using anon-penetrating TRAMEX moisture counter and a penetrating TRAMEX
moisture meter. Temperature and relative humidity readings were also collected in
representative areas with the use of a digital thereto-hygrometer and compared to outdoor
conditions.
Microbial Sampling
On November 16, 2007, WALSH personnel collected three (3} microbial air samples in the
Foyer (UE-111607-i); in the Master Bedroom (UE-I 11607-2) and in an outdoor control location

(UE-111607-3C). The samples were collected on Air-O-Cell spore trap cassettes using an air
pump calibrated before and after sampling to a flow rate of fifteen (15) liters per minute.
Four (4) tape lift samples were collected from the visible surface microbial growth located on the
Living Room window sill (UE-111607-4), the north Basement wall (UE-111607-5); the
Bedroom #3 Closet wall (UE-111607-6) and the Master Closet #1 wall (UE-111607-7). Al]
microbiai samples were submitted under chain of custody to EMLab P&K laboratories in Cherry
Hill, New Jersey, for fimgal identification and quantification. The sample locations are indicated
in FIGURE 1 at the end of the report.
RESULTS
Interviews
According to Ms. Catlin and Mr. Nishiyama, the property was originally constructed in 1954.
Mr. Uberoi purchased the home in the late 50's or early 60's. On November 13, 2006, Mr.
Uberoi became ill and vacated the residence. Mr. Uberoi passed away on November 25, 2006.
On February 9, 2007, Mr. Nishiyama entered the residence to find standing water in the 2nd floor
and Basement areas. On February 13, 2007, the source of the water release was identified by a
plumber as a Bathroom sink water supply line and the main .water supply to the home was shut
off.
Mr. Nishiyama explained that when he first entered the home, it felt very humid and that the
thermostat was set at 85°F. He also detected strong musty odors throughout the home.
Disaster Restoration, Inc. (303-657-1400) responded to the residence to perform water removal
activities. The contractor removed affected flooring materials, installed plastic containment
barriers to segregate the 2"d Floor/Basement from the Living Roam/Kitchen/Dining Room areas.
They also performed dehumidification procedures in the affected areas.
The residence was later evaluated by a construction contractor who provided an estimate for
repairs to the home and by an asbestos consultant to determine if any asbestos containing
building materials were present in the home. No previous microbial evaluations were previously
performed. Mr. Nishiyama was unawaze of who may have installed examination holes in the
Hallway walls and Basement ceiling. He did however note that when he first entered the home,
that an access hole was previously cut in the Basement ceiling below the upstairs Bathroom
pluunbing. When he spoke with a friend of Mr. Uberoi, she indicated that a previous plumbing
release occurred from the upstairs bathroom.
Mr. Nishiyama also explained that he helped Mr. Uberoi perform repairs to the roof in the past.
He explained that the wood panel ceiling materials required replacement after the roof leaks.
Site Observations

Samples Analyzed by EMLab P&K labor?tories, (Cherry Hill, New Jetsey) using direct microscopic examination
No health-based standards have been established for "safe" or "unsafe" levels of mold spores.
Indoor results which exceed outdoor concentrations indicate that a source of amplification may
be present in the area sampled. A significant difference in the types} of mold detected indoors
versus outdoors is also indicative of an indoor source of mold growth. The visual inspection and
microbial results reveal evidence of fungal amplification throughout the hoarse when compared to
the outdoor control sample.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on the visual evaluation, direct reading moisture measurements, temperature/relative
humidity readings, and microbial air sampling results, Walsh recommends that a detailed
remediation protocol be followed for remediation of the water damage and microbial growth
observed throughout the home. Based on the observed conditions, it is possible that additional
areas of microbial growth exist on the interior of the affected wall cavities. The total estimated
area of affected building materials in the home is greater than 100 square feet. Complete
removal of fungal spores is not practical, as fungal spores are ubiquitous in outdoor and indoor
environments even in the absence of active microbial growth.
RECOMMENDED REMEDIATION TASKS
The remediation protocol described below is based on the conditions described above and on
guidance documents published by the EPA2 and IICRC3. It is assumed that all sources of interior
moisture release and exterior moisture intrusion will be identified and corrected before
completion of the remediation tasks. Failure to do so, will likely lead to further moisture
intrusion release and additional water damage/microbial growth.

The recommended remediation protocols entail significant disturbance and removal of structural
materials. A structural engineer or designer should be consulted before removal of any structural
building components is performed. It is recommended that an inspection for asbestos-containing
materials be completed prior to demolition in order to satisfy federal, state, and local regulations.
If asbestos containing materials are present which will be disturbed during remediation, the
protocols described below may need to be modified in order to accommodate asbestos abatement
requirements.
Due tp the extent of microbial contamination in the structure, it is recommended that a
professional remediation firm be retained. The selected contractor should have or obtain the
licenses and permits required by federal, state, and local regulations for a project of this nature.
WAISH recommends the following tasks:
Preparation Tasks
1. The contractor should implement professional judgment regarding personal protection for
restoration employees. Care should be taken to follow all applicable Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and EPA recommended worker
protection guidelines prior to and during remediation activities.
2. All high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) vacuuming and HEPA air scrubbing
equipment should be cleaned before being brought on site and should have, at a
minimum, a new pre-filtration media installed.
Caution: The determining factors for success of the remediation project lies mainly on
the cleaning abilities of the restoration staff and equipment utilized. If old,
loaded or incorrectly installed filtration media are utilized during the cleaning
activities, the possibilities for cross contamination of clean areas is likely. If
potentially ineffective cleaning methods and equipment are used, this will
make for a difficult PASS during the post remediation verification (PRV)
testing.
3. The entire residence has been impacted (Figure 4).
4. Place plastic sheeting on the floors of the home that will not be removed and secure with
tape. This task is meant to limit tracking of debris and microbial contaminants inside the
home, and to protect the flooring from damage during the restoration activities.
5. The HVAC system should remain deactivated throughout the remediation process. Seal
supply and return registers in throughout the residence with plastic sheeting secured with
tape.

Restoration Activities
At the time of WALSH's inspection, the contents of the house had been removed except for
miscellaneous items of trash and debris that should be disposed of. The objective of this task is
to remove all obstacles that. might hinder the restoration effort.
6. Install a HEPA equipped air scrubbers in recirculation mode to provide adequate air
cleaning in each work area. Operate the air scrubber during working hours only during
this stage.
7. Remove the Bathroom vanity and Kitchen cabinets. Evaluate for microbial growth and
water damage. If salvageable, damp wipe with a mild detergent solution, wipe dry, wrap
with plastic sheeting and place in off site storage. If not salvageable, dispose of properly.
8. Remove and properly dispose of the following building materials (Figure 5). Proper
disposal includes placing manageable sections of drywall and other materials in a 6-mil
polyethylene bag, sealing the bag and placing it in a suitable container outside the
premises for disposal:

damage or visible microbial growth. Examine all exposed wall cavities with a flashlight
and mirror. If any evidence of water damage and/or microbial growth is apparent, the
affected. section(s) should be removed and disposed of properly.
10. Examine the exposed wood framing for microbial growth and decay. Remove all
necessary wall material to examine for microbial growth and decay. All wood that
supports microbial growth should be damp wiped with a mild detergent solution, be
allowed to dry and sanded or wire brushed to remove approximately 1/32-inch of the
original wood. If cost effective, the damaged wood may be replaced with new lumber.
11. Initiate dehumidification to attain 14% moislwe or less in all. construction materials.
12, Once the wood has achieved an acceptable moisture content (<l4%), apply a low VOC
clear sealer to the affected wood areas only. Minimize the application of the sealer to
aeeas that supported microbial growth only.
13, Clean the HVAC unit(s) and ductwork, both supply and return, and replace the filter(s).
Recover the supply and return vents in Area B with polyethylene sheeting and tape when
completed. Insulated fiberboard ductwork cannot be effectively cleaned. An HVAC
professional should be consulted to determine the best method of cleaning the ductwork.
14. Use a HEPA vacuum to remove all debris and dust following the removal of all water
damaged materials in the residence. Dispose of HEPA vacuum contents in well-sealed
plastic bags.
15. Damp wipe the non-porous floors and remaining walls in Area B with a mild detergent
solution.
16. Install new filters and operate HEPA blowers inside Area B for 48 to 72 hours before the
post remediation verification sampling. Use an electric leaf blower and/or fans to
forcibly suspend particulates in the air. The intent of this task is to remove suspended
particulate and microbial matter before testing. Deactivate the air scrubbers 12 to 24
hours before post remediation verification (PRV) sampling event.

techniques according to USEPA Interim Method USEPA G00/M4-82-020. All reference testing was
completed by an analyst qualified under the NVLAP Asbestos Bulk Sample Quality Assurance
Progtam(DTIST/NVLAP Lab #200450-0).
The USEPA Interim Method requires the microscopist to take a portion of the bully samples and
treat it with an oil of specific refractive index. This pzepared slide is then subjected to a variety of
tests while being viewed under varying polarizations of light.
Each type of asbestos displays unique characteristics when subjected to these tests. Percentages of
the identified types of asbestos are determined by visual estimation. Anv material that contains
~patPr than rmelll nrrcent by area of env tune of asbestos is considered sn Ssbeet0a-oont lnln$
materiaifACMI and must be managed in accordance with CDPIdE, OSHA, and USEPA regulations,
if disturbed.
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
After visual examination and analysis of samples taken from the property on October 31, 2007, it
was determined asbestos was found in the following materials:
Trowelled texture wall coat-Basement/perimeter walls(Approx.400-1300 S~
ASSUMHD Duct Seam Insulation(Approx. 5-10 S~
"`NOTE-The actual amount of ACM may vary due to limitations of visturl estimations made by the
inspector, actual measurements will need to be taken to detemtine amount of ACM present.
Some basement perimeter walls were in~cessible at time of inspection.
All other sampled materials tested negative for the presence of asbestos. Refer to the analysis and
bulk sampling sheet included in Appendix A for a list of other materials sampled as well as the
condition of the materials tested.
-Tar impregnated roofing materials and vinyl floor dle were not tasted. If implosion or fire-burning
techniques are used during demolition, these materials will need to be tasted.
Comments- -This inspection is limited to visually accessible ACM suspect materials
sampled. Further testing will berequired ifrenovation/demolition occur.

819 6`" Street
Boulder, Colorado 80302
As of November 25, 2006
The heating is natural gas fired, forced warm air in three zones (presumably one zone per floor).
It has a huge 50 year old furnace that is woefully inefficient in terms of today's energy efficient
furnaces.
There is a full bath and a half bath on the upper level. The water damage appeared to have
started in the half bath. Hot water is supplied by a gas water heater in the furnace room. There
is need for plumbing repairs.
Built-in equipment includes a Thermador range top and wall oven, and dishwasher. These
appear to be original appliances. Their operability is unknown. No personal property such as
the refrigerator is included.
Carport:
There is an attached two car carport with accompanying storage having 270 sq.ft.
The carport is attached to the dwelling via the roof structure. Between the dwelling and the
carport is a simple entry way. The carport floor is dirt (most carports have concrete slab floors).
There is a built-in storage area along the south wall of the carport.
Feasibility of Use:
It will be very costly to repair the water damage and rehabilitate the dwelling inside and out to
bring it up to today's building standards. At the very least an owner is faced with replacement of
windows with double glazed insulated glass, probably with some ventilation capability; paint and
repair of the exterior; roof cover replacement; kitchen cabinet replacement; furnace
replacement; new bath fixtures and plumbing; and complete redecoration of the interior include
floor coverings.
It will be shown later in this report that the highest and best use is to remove the existing
dwelling and carport and redevelop the site with a new "Built Green" energy efficient dwelling.
For these reasons, the valuation question becomes primarily one of land value -that is, the sale
to an existing property with the intent that the buyer will remove the dwelling and carport and
~ erect a new dwelling.
~ Eauiament:
Any equipment on the property, other than that associated with the dwelling as noted above, is
' deemed to be personal property and not appurtenant to the property. No valuation of any other
equipment is included in this report.

2.3 B. Improvements
On the property is a detached single family dwelling with attached two carport.
Dwellinn:
The dwelling was built in 1957 according to the Assessor's Office. I
The overall quality of the dwelling is "fairy to "average" in terms of today's building code
standards, especially with respect to energy efficiency.
The present condition is "fair" or "below average" with an effective age estimate of about 50
years. The home does not appear to have had any updating or renovation since its
construction.
The dwelling is a contemporary style tri-level
The dwelling has 742 sq.ft. of main floor area with living room, dining room, and kitchen.
The upper level has 707 sq.ft. of floor area with two bedrooms and 1 'h baths.
The lower level has 707 sq.ft. of floor area with a family room, storage room, and furnace
room. The laundry area is in a corner of the family room. The lower level might be deemed
basement because it is essentially all below grade along the rear of the dwelling.
The total floor area is 2,156 sq.ft.
There is a 195 sq.ft. covered patio on the north side of the dwelling, off the main floor
level.
The dwelling's exterior walls are brick with some plywood frame. Interior walls are also brick,
plywood paneling, and drywall. Most windows are single glazed fixed glass. Cross ventilation is
poor unless doors are opened. The exterior is in need of repainting at the very least. Existing
paint is presumed to be lead based.
The roof structure is a contemporary "butterfly" design. The roof cover is a mopped composition
roll roofing on a 2" x 6" tongue and groove wood deck. Roof drainage is intended to be down a
drainpipe in the center of the roof, but at inspection, was running over the edge of the roof
suggesting a possibly clogged drain pipe. The roof cover appears to be original and is showing
its age.
Floors were mostly cork tile. Much of the cork the in the upper and lower levels has been
severely water damaged due to a broken water line. Some of the the has been removed
showing deterioration of the underlying plywood sub-floor.
Interior walls are drywall and wood panel with mahogany doors.
f The Pullman shaped kitchen has painted wood cabinets with formica counter tops. The
cabinets appear to be original and certainly not in keeping with today's cabinet styles.

PART THREE ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS
3.1. Analysis of Highest and Best Use as though Vacant
Highest and Best Use is defined in The Appraisal of Real Esfate, Twelfth Edition, by the
Appraisal Institute, page 305 as:
"The reasonably probable and legal use of vacant land or an improved
property, which is physically possible, appropriately supported, financially
feasible, and that results in the highest value."
The major requirements are thus summarized:
(al Leoallv permissible:
The property is now zoned RE, formerly ER-E, in the City of Boulder. (See preceding Section
3.7 of this report.) The subdivision pre-existed the present zoning. Obtaining a Conditional Use
or Use Review for alternative uses is unlikely in Boulder.
The Allowed Uses by right are essentially residential in nature.
The minimum site area is 15,000 sq.ft.
There is no reasonable probability that the subject's zoning can be changed although "Down
Zoning" changes have been accomplished by City Council actions.
The "Restrictions and Limitations Spackman's Subdivision" were recorded October 27, 1941 in
Book 709 at Page 44 of the Boulder County records.
These restrictions essentially limited use to a one detached single-family dwelling house and
a private garage..." costing at least $5,000.00 or at least °...1000 square feet in ground floor
area of the main structure the exterior walls of which shall be constructed of less than 60 per
cent masonry..." on an site area of not less than 20,000 sq.ft.
The restriction and limitations "...shall run with the land to and until.July first, A. D. 1966..."
"...the owner of any other lot (may) prosecute an action at law or in equity to prevent a
breach, or the continuation of such a breach, or to recover damages therefor (sic)."
There is no provision for the renewal of these covenants and they are presumed to have
expired. The result is that the City's Zoning Code controls.
fbl Phvsicallv possible:
That there is an existing dwelling on the lot shows the site is adaptable to such a use. The
topography, terrain, soils, and other characteristics are such that special engineering are likely
to be needed for any new home design.
With respect to other Allowed Uses, the lot is not large enough to support public schools,
colleges or universities. It might be large enough for a small religious assembly and for park
and recreation uses. It is not well located for a religious assembly as such uses are generally
found on corner locations on more heavily traveled streets. The nature of the soils precludes
crop production.
The existing dwelling and carport are about fifty years old. They appear to be in "original"
condition -that is, not having had any significant modernization, renovation, nor rehabilitation.

As of November 25, 2006
They are in need of substantial repair, demonstrating substantial physical deterioration. The
dwelling is totally energy inefficient and does not meet today's building codes, demonstrating
substantial functional obsolescence.
The site is 130' x 160'. The Zoning setback requirements create a building envelope of about
105' x 110' without consideration of Solar Access restrictions.
(c) Financially feasible:
In the hands of private (non-public) ownership, a religious assembly is not feasible primarily due
to lack of a "commercial" location.
Financing for residential use has been available at rates of about 6% to 6.5% for 30 year fixed
mortgages. VA and FHA financing is unlikely because of the high prices in Boulder. Cash sales
are not uncommon.
The most financially feasible use is for a new detached single family dwelling in accordance with
the Zoning Code.
(d) Maximally productive:
While the existing dwelling, having some 2,156 sq. ft. might be repaired and updated, it will not
make maximum use of the site.
For example, the dwelling next door at 846 6a' St., on a 130' x 160' site or 20,800 sq.ft. (like
subject), built in 1986, has a total area of 8,672 sq.ft. plus a 549 sq.ft. garage. The property
sold June 22, 2006 for $2,430,000.
The dwelling at 755 6`" St., on a 130' x 160' site, was built in 1950 of similar contemporary
design as subject and having 1,170 sq.ft. plus basement. It was substantially updated in 2005
and 2006 and now has a total 4,723 sq. ft. plus a 770 sq.ft. garage. The property sold
September 8, 2000 for $980,000 before the remodeling.
The dwelling at 756 6'" St. is on a 75' x 150' site. The 2,355 sq.ft. dwelling, built in 1949 is being
(March 2007) torn down in preparation for a new dwelling. The property sold March 1, 2007 for
$1,031,727 with the existing dwelling.
There are numerous other examples which will be cited in the Sales Comparison Analysis.
The maximally productive non-public use is for a newer and larger detached single family
dwelling in accordance with the Zoning Code.
(e) Conclusion:
fn conclusion, as of November 25, 2006, the Effective Date of Appraisal, the highest and best
use of the property is for the removal of the existing dwelling and carport, perhaps preserving
the lower level foundation, and a new detached single family dwelling and accessory uses such
j as garage constructed.
