4 - 607 Forest Ave. - stay-of-demolition (expires April 15, 2009 Dear Landmark Committee,
I live around the corner from the above property, which is requesting a
demolition permit. As a neighbor and property owner, I feel that the
permit should be granted. The existing structure is not, in my opinion,
worth preserving as it does not sufficiently meet the Landmark criteria
(architectural significance, historically significant
occupants/occurrences, etc). I think you would agree that there are a
number of homes in our neighborhood and in the City that better exemplify
the Landmark criteria.
I am generally familiar with the plans for the new home the owners are
proposing and feel the proposed home will be better suited for our
neighborhood than the existing structure for a number of reasons.
The proposed home will fulfill the needs of the neighborhood's market
which is young and growing families. On the bases o-f design, amenities,
and square footage, the current home is not safe or suitable for the
market nor a young family. The proposed home will be more ecologically
friendly and environmentally efficient, values I'm proud much of the
neighborhood shares.
I do hope the Committee considers seriously allowing the owners to move
forward with their plans without the 6 month stay. Should you have
questions or need additional input, I may be reached at 720.289.5947.
Sincerely,
Chris 7acobs

Dear Landmark Committee:
I am writing in support of a demolition permit for 607 Forest Ave. I live on the adjacent corner of 6th and
Forest (555 Forest), and wonder why there is even a question regarding the tear-down of this property.
The house at 607 Forest is ugly and old; it lacks any architectural or historical significance. It is
constructed of vinyl, and I know the roof leaks. I'm not sure its truly safe in its present condition. I also
don't believe it meets any of the three criteria which would classify it for preservation.
I'm sure you know that the plan of the owners is to build a safe, sustainable, and ecologically friendly
home. The construction of such a house will enhance the character of the neighborhood, as well as add to
the value of all the surrounding homes. I realize neighbors wishes don't really come into play in your
decision making, but I wanted to add my "two cents".
Thank you for your time, and for all the work you do in helping keep Boulder the wonderful place it is to
live.
Sincerely yours,
Julie Benjamin

Hey James,
I enjoyed working successfully with you and the Landmarks Board on the difficult Uberoi / Hobart Wagner home. ft
seemed that a reasonable resolution was found and I feel that Cheri appears to be doing a great job of respectfully
contributing to the home. It appeared to me that there were a variety of reasons for the Landmarks board to intervene
in the demolition of that specific property. I see absolutely no way that 607 Forest should fall into that same category.
don't see any historical significance with the architect, if the architect can even be identified, the home certainty has
no character or defining architectural elements and it does not appear to contribute to the neighborhood. Unlike areas
tike Mapleton Hitl, this neighborhood has virtually no consistent theme and has perhaps come to be more defined by
larger nicer homes than small shacks. I am respectful of the Landmark Board and appreciate their efforts as I too
believe in preservation. With that said, I think attempting to Landmark this home makes a strong negative statement
about the rote and potential overuse of authority with no specific justification and undermines the Landmark Boards
entire objective. I do not think it would be fair to the community and especially fair to the Goodson family to impose
this burden on them, especially given the fact that the neighbors are in support and also see no historic contribution.
know John and have worked with him in years past. John is committed to building aesthetically interesting,
environmentally friendly and of course safe homes. He is a wonderful person that is mindful of the importance of a
home and it role within a community. So please see what others see as common sense and allow the Goodsons to move
forward on what will be a beautiful home that will ultimately contribute to the neighborhood and serve the community
for years to come by providing a tax payer with a great functional place to live.
Thanks, Steve

James--
I'm a bit confused as to the power of the board.... In my understanding they are in place to keep homes that may have
potential for landmark from slipping through the cracks. Yet after yesterday's meeting, it seems they are there to really do
whatever they want.
Your research says this house doesn't fit any landmark criteria, and there has been no neighborhood interest in
landmarking the property--even Bili yesterday said the neighbors didn't want to keep the structure--they are only
interested in what we are going to put in it's place. When do the boundaries of the board get enforced? We don't know
what we are going to put there and we won't know until we are given a green light to demo and therefore can start
planning. It seems to me the board is forcing us to begin our planning process--when that (according to the code) has no
relevance as to whether or not a property is landmarked...
appreciate your standing strong yesterday on not supporting another sign in front of our property--is seemed to me like
they want to change the rules that they have been following for the last 10 years just for this one property? But I think I'm
going to put my own sign out front b/c if I don't then I fear that Plass will say he wants to initiate landmarking just so a sign
can "again" be placed outside our property?? Is there any protocol in place here? Do they have to follow the rules of the
existing code or can they change them on the fly?
How can they initiate landmarking if there has been no public interest and the research done by you (which I had to pay
for) doesn't support it??
We're meeting with all the neighbors Monday or Tuesday of next week to discuss what we want to do there. I don't mind
doing this b/c I'm not hiding anything, but it's delaying the process for us and I don't see where the rules are that allow this
to happen.
I have a business I run and I travel extensively for it at week-long intervals--this process is now costing me income
because I have to stay in town for these meetings.
Here's another email that was sent to the LPAB email address (which you said may not be working correctly...) Please
ensure it gets to the board.
Sincerely,
John Goodson
