7B - Consideration of a demolition permit for 1535 Spruce St. (HIS2009-00005) MEMORANDUM February 4, 2009 TO: Landmarks Board FROM: Susan Richstone, Long Range Planning Manager James Hewat, Historic Preservation Planner Chris Meschuk, Historic Preservation Planner Allison Hawes, I-iistoxic Preservation Intern SUBJECT: Public hearing and consideration of a demolition permit for the building Located at 1535 Spruce Street, per Section 9-11-23 of the Boulder Revised Code, 1981. (HIS2009-00005) STATISTICS: 1. Site:. 1535 Spruce Street 2. Date of Construction: 1925, 1944 3. Zoning: RH-2 (Residential High-2) 4. Applicant/Owner: E-Town STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following motion: The Landmarks Board approve fhe issuance of a demolition permit far the building located at 1535 Spruce Street in that the property does not have historic significance due to major alterations to the building in 1943 and Lacks distinction as a significant example of architecture to the Whittier neighborhood or the city of Boulder as a whole, per the criteria set forth in Section 9-11-23(f) B.R.C and the Individual Landmark Significance Criteria (1975). The board bases this decision upon the findings of this memorandum. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On January 13, 2009, the Plaiu~ing Department received a demolition permit application to remove portions of the building facing a public street located at 1535 Spruce St. The building is not individually landmarked or located in a designated historic district, but is over fifty years old and has been requested for demolition. On January 14, 2009 the Landmarks Design Review Committee (LDRC) referred the application to the Agenda Item # 7S Page # 1 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/U4/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolition Permit Landmarks Board for a public hearing based upon the LDRC's finding of "probable cause" to consider that the buildings maybe eligible for designation as an individual landmark. The church at 1535 Spruce St. was constructed in 1925 and has experienced three modifications and additions throughout the years which have significazztly altered its appearance. Construction on the building commenced in 1918 or 1921, when the basement of the building was excavated and walls and a roof constructed. It was not unti11925 that the above ground portion of the building was completed. Constructed of stone walls with across-gabled roof and stone buttresses, the original Romanesque- Revival building was set ahalf-story above grade, with the entrance at grade level. The building was dedicated on December 14,1925. Beginning in 1943, the church extensively remodeled the building. Based on written descriptions and photographic evidence the cross-gabled roof was removed and replaced with afront-gabled structure, the tower-like element at the corner of the building removed/modified, the entry reconfigured to the main story with a vestibule and a large staircase constructed, the window openings were modified significantly, an addition constructed in the rear for 8 Sunday sdlool rooms, and the entire builduzg covered in stucco. On February 20, 1944 the new church was re-dedicated. As a result of these significant alterations, staff considers that the building has lost architectural integrity, and recommends that the landmarks board issue the demolition permit application for the building at 1535 Spruce Street.

The original Romanesque- Agenda Item #7B Pale # 2 ' Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- llemolition Permit revival church was designed by Boulder architect Mead Walter. The building was constructed of rough-faced stone, built ahalf-story above grade, with a tower element at the corner of 16~' and Spruce Streets. The windows on the church were diamond-pane leaded glass, with half-round transom lights. The windows on the tower were tall and narrow. The roof appears to have been across-gabled design, set back from the front wall slightly. Mr. IJongweddle was referred as being the carpenter for the construction of the building. i r ~ ~ s • t 2 r ~ YC ` 3•: ~ - • ~ ~ - t ' ~ ~ t g1.

Based on written descriptions and photographic evidence the entire roof was removed and reconfigured. Anew metal truss front-gabled roof was placed on the structure that extended out to all exterior walls. This resulted in the side wall dormers being removed, as well as the tower-like element at the corner of the building. The window openings were modified on the fa~adc~ and sides. Based on photographs, it appears that the eastern and western stained glass windows maybe original to the 1925 building. However, the windows on the facade were almost completely reconfigured, and it appears that the narrow windows on the western side of the facade may have been relocated from another part of the building. The narrow windows on the eastern side of the facade may be in their original location as part of what was the tower. The upper windows were created during the remodel.. The main entry was significantly reconfigured to the main story with a concrete block vestibule and a large staircase constructed. The entire building was then covered in stucco, obscuring the original character defining rusticated masonry. An addition was constructed at the back of the church to house eight new Sunday school rooms, and to reconfigure the stage. On February 20,1944 the new church was re-dedicated. In 1966 the final addition was built at the west of the building, creating the L-shape plan that exists today. 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) T'he 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. Some information regarding the condition of the building or the cost of restoration or repair (criteria 3 and 4) has been provided by the applicant related to the adaptive reuse of the building. Staff observed the building's interior and exterior during a site visit. Agenda Item #7B Pale # 5 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolition Permit The overall condition of the building appears to be goad, with no significant structural issues observed, however the applicant identified numerous code deficiezlcies during the site visit. 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 ELISILITY The following is a result of staff's research on the property relative to the significance criteria for individual landmark adopted by the Landmarks Board on September 17, 1975. See Attachment D: Individual Landmark Significance Criteria HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The building located at 1535 may have historic significance under criteria 1, and 4. 1. Date of Construction: 1925, significantly remodeled in 1944 Elaboration: The Boulder County Assessor lists the date of construction as 1950. However, based on Sanborn map analysis, newspaper records, and aerial photography, the building was originally constructed u1 1925. The basement was built sometime between 1918 and 1925, with most newspaper accounts stating 1921. In 1943 the church, having just paid off the mortgage to construct the building, embarked on a renovation and expansion project that was completed in 1944. Under today's definition in the Boulder Revised Code, the 1943/1944 work would have constituted a demolition of the roof, and all exterior walls. 2. Association with Persons ox Events: None observed Elaboration: The building has been associated with church congregations of the First Church of the Nazarene, The Unity Church, and the Salvation Army. Staff is not aware of any persons or events that occurred at the property which are of local, state, or national significance. 3. Development of the Community: None observed. Elaboration: This property is associated with the development of the First Nazarene Church in Boulder from 1918 to 1979. This property was the first permanent home for the church. 4. Recognition by Authorities: Architectural Inventory form, Sacred Places in Downtown Boulder historic context report. Agenda [tem #7B Page # 6 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolition Permit Elaboration: When. the building was surveyed in 1988 by Front Range Research Associates, it was not identified as being eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. During the efforts to designate the Whittier neighborhood as a local historic district, an analysis of buildings was undertaken, and the inventory form was revised to state that this building would be considered contributing tv the potential district. A historic context report on downtown churches in Boulder briefly discusses this building, with the conclusion that the church may be eligible for landmark designation. Neither of these studies appear to have had knowledge of the major alterations to the building in 1944 and assumed the current configuration of the building dates from 1925, rather than what has been found through the course of research. ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: Staff considers the builduzg at 1535 Spruce to have lost architectural significance as a result of major alterations that occurred in 1943/1944. 1. Recognized Period or Style: None observed. Vernacular Masonry. Elaboration: The original Nazarene church at 1535 Spruce (then 1539 and 1543 Spruce) was of aRomanesque-Revival in design. With the 1944 remodel, the Romanesque-Revival architectural elements were completely obscured so that the building no longer exemplifies a particular style or period of architecture. The 1944 upper facade windows have a vaguely Mediterranean feel that is referred to in the 1988 survey report. 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: None observed Elaboration: The original church was designed by Boulder architect Mead Walter. Little information is known about Walter, who lived at 82013 Street on University Hill. He designed the stone entry arches now located at Highway 287 and Arapahoe Road. The original carpenter on the church was Mr. Longweddle. The majority of work during all phases of construction on the church and its additions was performed by church members. All significant stylistic aspects of fhe building attributed to Walter were obscured during the 1944 remodel of the building. 3. Artistic Merit: None observed Elaboration: Staff does not consider the building to have a skillful integration of design, material, and color or to represent a building of excellent visual quality or demonstration of superior craftsmanship. Aeer~da Item #7B Pale # 7 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolition Permit 4. Example of the Uncommon: None observed Elaboration: Staff dues not consider any elements of the building to be a representation of a significant innovation. 5. Indigenous Qualities: None observed 6. Other: Integrity The National Register of Historic Places defines integrity as a building that can convey its significance. Within this concept, seven aspects or qualities are used to evaluate integrity: • Location • Design • Setting • Materials • Workmanship • Feeling • Association Location.: Location is the place where the historic property was constructed or the place where the histori c event occurred. The building at 1535 Spruce has retained its integrity of location, as it has not been moved. Design: Design is the combination of elements that create the form, plan, space, structure, and style of a property. The building at 1535 Spruce Street no longer retains integrity of design. The building no longer exhibits its original style, and details such as the facade, fenestration, surface materials, textures, and ornamental details. Setting: Setting is the physical environment of a historic property. The building at 1535 Pearl Street no longer retains integrity of setting. The setting differs from l-he location in that setting addresses the character of the place in which the property played its historic role. The 1943/1944 alterations and later additions and 1980's adjacent construction significantly changed the immediate character of the site, and the former interaction of. the facade to the street/sidewalk has significantly changed with the replacement of the facade, and relocation of the entrance to the main level. Agenda Item #7B PaLe # 8 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolition Permit Materials: Materials are the physical elements that were combined or deposited during a particular period of time and in a particular pattern or configuration to form a historic property. The building at 1535 Spruce Street no longer retains integrity of materials. All exterior materials from the original building are visible. The choice and combination of materials no longer "reveal the preferences of those who created the property." Workmanship: Workmanship is the physical evidence of the crafts of a particular culture or people during any given period in history or prehistory. The building at 1535 Spruce Street no longer retains integrity of workmanship. The entire exterior of the building has no evidence of artisans' labor and skill in constructing the original building. Feeling: Feeling is a property's expression of the aesthetic or historic sense of a particular period of time. The building at 1535 Spruce Street no longer retains integrity of feeliYlg. T'he building no longer expresses an aesthetic or historic sense of the period of time from when the building was constructed. Association: Association is the direct link between an important historic event or person and a historic property. The building at 1535 Spruce Street no longer retains integrity of association. The building was constructed by the Nazarene Church, but due to the level of alteration it no longer retains integrity to convey that relationship to an observer, as the physical features no longer convey a property's original construction. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE: Summary: The building at 1535 Spruce Street may have environmental significance under criterion 5. 1. Site Characteristics: None observed 2. Compatibility with Site: None observed 3. Geographic Importance: None observed 4. Environmental Appropriateness: None observed Agenda Item #7B Page # 9 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- Demolitio~ll'ennit 5. Area Integrity: 'Ihe building is located in the identified potential Whittier Historic District. Elaboration: When surveyed by Front Range Research Associates in 1988 the building was found not to be potentially contributing to a historic district, as the block including this building was not identified as being within a potential district. During analysis of the Whittier neighborhood and potential district designation, the block including this building was included within the potential boundaries, and considered potentially contributing. CRITERION 2: RELATIONSHIP TO THE CHARACTER OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD: This building is Iocated in a transition area from commercial uses of downtown to the residential core of the Whittier neighborhood. Immediately surrounding this building is multi-family housing, single family housing, and some day care and office uses. The overall character of the surrounding area is eclectic. Buildings of various heights, masses and styles are found in the area. While this building is characteristic of the eclectic nature of its neighborhood, staff does not consider it to be architecturally significant. CRITERION 3: CONDITION OF THE BUILDING AND CRITERION 4: PROJECTED COST OF RESTORATION OR REPAIR: Because no detailed information has been provided by the applicant about the condition of. the building or cost of restoration or repair, staff concentrated on criteria 1 and 2, the buildings eligibility for landmark designation and its relationship to the character of the neighborhood in making a recommendation on the appropriateness of demolition. The applicant's desire to remove the entry vestibule and roof above the rear portion of the . wall facing 16th Street are driven by the physical layout of the building, and desire to maximize the passive solar gain far the building. ~ NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENT: Staff has received no e-mails or phone calls from neighbors or interested parties concerning this project. The applicant has provided a letter and analysis, as well as letters of support from two project consultants, and one neighbor. See Attachment E for copies of the analysis and letters. 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. Agenda Item #7B Pa eg # 10 Memo to Landmarks Board 02/04/2009 Re: 1535 Spruce- llemolition Permit If the Landmarks Board finds that the building 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 tune necessary to consider alternatives to the building. [Section 9-11-23(h)J. A 180-day stay period would expire on July 13, 2009. FINDINGS: Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board adopt the following findings: Issuance of the demolition permit for 1535 Spruce Street is appropriate based on the criteria set forth in section 9-11-23(f) B.R.C, in that the identified property: 1. Is not eligible for individual landmark designation due to significant alterations that occurred in 1944 that resulted in a loss of architectural integrity; 2.

The First Church of the Nazarene was established in Boulder on 7uly 4, 1916 with 12 charter members ~ The structure was , ' built in 1922-25. The basement for the church was excavated with donated labor. The church was first occupied in 1923,47 and it was dedicated during the fall of 1925. Remodeling took place in 1944, a church fellowship hall and annex were added in 1954, and further remodeling was done in 1958 to produce the current structure 48 When the Nazarenes built a new church, the Unity Church obtained the building. The Salvation Army purchased the building from the Unity Church in 1991 and held their first service on April 1, 1992. The Salvation Army arrived in Boulder in 1892 with Caplan Kemp as the first Commanding Officer. Their offices were on Walnut between 12th and 13th and "from this small storefront they ministered to the many who had difficulties when the gold and Daily Camera, August 30, 1964. 47 Longtime Boulder resident Frances Bascom recalls that the Nazarenes used the basement of the building until they raised enough money to finish construction. Boulder Carnegie Library oral history taped interview with Frances Bascom,l9$8. 48 Daily Camera, August 30, 1964. q Dunn 20 silver veins ran out:' 49 In 1926 the Salvation Artrty moved to 1535 Pearl Street, moving again in 1921 to 1628 Pearl. After World War II, the Salvation Army was unable to provide the necessary officer leadership to maintain the corps worship activities, but votunteers "continued the mission of help and hope" until 1984, when an auxiliary captain was sent to Boulder. Before obtaining the present building, the Army relocated to 2819 Broadway, and then to 2750 Glenwood. The building shows a type of construction popular during the 1920s, built during the post-World War I urban growth (1920- 1930). A 1-1/2 story building, it has vernacular masonry with aMediterranean-style front gable. It is aloes-pitched. front-gabled sweco-covered building with a symmetrical facade. Architectural elements include an enclosed porch; three semi-circular arched windows in front gable end; narrow rectangular windows on front and side elevations; a raised foundation; corner and wall buttresses; flagstone porch steps and trim; and wrought-iron porch railings. 'T'here are two classical vase ornaments on the front gable and cawed wooden entrance doors. Alterations w the original structure are moderate, with additions to the front and rear. This building may be eligible for landmarking. Historically, the building represents an early twentieth century church congregation (the Church of the Nazarene) that has remained an active part of the community. ~ ..a' ~ . - i ' + i ' . \ ~ L t ~ ~ d ~ ~ 1y ~ ~ 49 Conversation with Lynnette Selig, Salvation Army. e`:y~.::i~ s~.:.:i~: , .Ks. 1 Attachrx~ent L n~.

The purpose of the ordinance is the preservation of the City's permitted cultural, historic, and architectural heritage. The Landmarks 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 Board to help evaluate each potential designation in a consistent and equitable manner. Historical Significance The place (building, site, area) should show character, interest or value as part of the development, heritage, or cultural characteristics of the community, state or nation; be the site of a historic, ox prehistoric event that had an effect upon society; or exemplify the cultural, political, economic, or social heritage of the community. 1. Date of Construction: This area of consideration places particular 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 ofi the Community of Boulder: This is most applicable to an institution (religious, educational, civic, etc) or business structure, . though is sortie 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 awareness of our cultural, economic, social or political heritage. 4. Recognition b~thvrities: If it is recognized by Historic Boulder, lnc. the Boulder Historical Society, local historians (Barker, Crosson, Rink, Gladden, Paddock, Schooland, etc), State I-iistorical Society, The Improvement of Boulder, Colorado by F.L. Olmsted, or others in published form as having historical interest and value. S. Other, if applicable. Architectural Significance The place should embody those distinguishing characteristics of an architectural type specimen, a good example of the common; be the work of an architect or master builder, known 04.OSsignif-indiv nationally, state-wide, or locally, and perhaps whose work has influenced Later development; contain elements of architectural design, detail, materials or craftsmanship which represent a significant innovation; or be a fine example of the uncommon. 1. Recognized Period/Style: It should exemplify specific elements of an architectural period/style, ie: Victorian, Revival styles, such as described by IIi~•toric American Building Survey Criteria, Gingerbread Aye (Maass), 76 Boulder Homes (Barkar), The History of Architectural Style (Marcus/Wiffin), Architecture in San Francisco (Gebhard et al), History of Architecture (Flectcher), Architecture/Colorado, and any other published source of universal or Local analysis of "style." 2. Architect or Builder of Prominence: A good example of the work of an architect or builder who is recognized for expertise in his field nationally, state-wide, or locally. 3. Artistic Merit: A skillful integration of design, material, and color which is of excellent visual quality and/or demonstrates superior craftsmanship. 4. Example of the Uncommon: Elements of architectural design, details, or craftsmanship that are representative of a significant innovation. 5. Indigenous ualities: A style or material that is particularly associated with the Boulder area. 6. Other, if applicable. Environmental Si~n_ificance The place should enhance the variety, interest, and sense of identity of the community by the protection of the unique natural and man-made environment. 1. Site Characteristics: It should be of high quality in terms of planned or natural vegetation. 2. Compatibility with Site: Consideration will be given to scale, massing placement, or other qualities of design with respect to its site. 3. Geographic Im ortance: Due to its unique location or singular physieat characteristics, it represents an established and familiar visual feature of the community. 4. Environmental Appropriateness: The surroundings are complementary and/or it is situated in a manner particularly suited to its function. 5. Area Tnte rity_ Places which provide historical, architectural, or environmental importance and continuity of an existing condition, although taken singularly or out of context might not qualify under other criteria. 6. Other, if applicable. 04.OSsignif-indiv i=1 Attachment E ;;,///r• e : Gli O~ f ~ /JCOS. (0~ l o Whore it May Concern: Etown is interested in renovating the property that it purchased last July on the corner of 1Gt" and Spruce Streets in Boulder. The property, known as 1535 Spruce, is a collection of three separate I~ut attached structures that were built between 1925 and 1961 by the congr-eg~rtion of the First Church of the Nazarene. We are not seeking a demolition permit t~~ destroy the building. Rather, we are seeking a demolition permit in order to replace the existing, non-original cement block entry vestibule and thereby accom~~lish two important goals: 1) to accommodate the City of Boulder's mandate that we provide an at-grade entrance and elevator in order to comply with Federal ADA requirements and, 2) to enhance our ability to generate passive solar- Feat through a more transparent entry vestibule, virtually ensuring that we can create azero-carbon building, the first zero carbon performance hall in the United States. We expect that the resulting structure will be both substantially improved and compatible with the neighboring structures. We feel that this project restoration will in fact "promote the public health, safety, and welfare by protecting, enhancing, arrd perpetuating" a building that already exists but one that has been severely ccr~npromised. This building is no longer particularly "reminiscent of past eras" nor is it connected to any known "events, and persons important in local, state, or national history". It certainly no longer represents an "example of architectural styles of the past". And the overdeveloped non-conforming site is oi` no particular significance. We believe that, if we are able to make the modifications to the front entrance and create a zero-carbon performance hall, only then would we in fact "enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tor.rrist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city's living heritage." We are gratified to note that "tlie city council does not intend to preserve every old building in the city but instead to draw a reasonable balance between private property rights and the public interest " We are ourselves a strong and contributing part of Boulder's cultural community and contribute substantially to the economic vitality of the downtown area. We are NOT proposing the demolition of a building but tl~e preservation of a br.rilding and tl~e mere modification to the street facing front entry. We find especially relevant the section of City Code 9-'11-1 paragraph (c): While this building is cun-ently neither an individual Landmark or in an historic district, we note that tl~e City Council intends sc~ecial dispensation be given to applicants who introduce "energy-efficient design, access for- the disabled, and creative approaches to renovation." Because wE~ ar-e only asking for the demolition of one small, non-original, cement block entry vestibule, we believe that we should be granted a demolition per-r~nit. p.a. box 954 I boulder, co 80306 I tel: 303.443.8696 ~ fax: 303.443.4489 I web: www.etown.org ,r c,-Y.~^::.,;~.,•-;Y:'n>~2=.LCSCc:. -:.~cR':_;'a}'~.t~'i~t?!,~"'_i,.-r .._`tir..- 1~~;' e , j. O . ~~tCf. ~:C{`v Etown has gone through a development review and was successful in securing a Use Review approval for its iretended non-coreforming use. One of the conditions of that approval was that F_town must provide an at-grade entrance and elevator to comply with ADA requirements. Since the building is built to the lot line or1 the east and west sides, the only reasonable and dignified option for providing an accessible entrance (other than insisting that those in wheelchairs go down the sidewalk one half block and then through the alley in the back of the building, a considerable distance, and then navigate back through the interior to the front of the building), is to provide that entrance in the front of the building where the main entrance should be. After considerable architectural review, we proposed a scheme in which the existing stairs and small, non-original cement block entry vestibule be replaced with an at-grade entry vestibule with only a slightly larger footprint than what is existing (a necessary change to ensure the safety of those in wheelchairs as they access the elevator and avoid the stairs). Our request is to demolish approximately 2% of the existing structure while preserving 98%. The 2% that we are planning to demolish is not part of the original structure, is not representative of any particular architectural style, and is in fact an impediment to our ability to comply with the requirements of our Use Review approval. . Similar to the old fraternity house located at 955 Broadway, for exar~nple, this facility has been so dramatically altered that it no longer has the "integrity" of its original fagade. While the 955 Broadway facility was granted a perr~~it for the demolition of the structure, we are or~ly seeking partial demolition of a very small, non-original structure. I would also like to mention that, after nearly four years of working on this project, with countless hours of guidance and conversation with representatives from the Planning Department, the term Landmark' never came up. I understand that the code sections 9-11-1 and 9-11-2 clearly outline the course that we are now following. I also acknowledge that it is, ultimately, the property owner's responsibility to perform due diligence when embarking on a project of this size and scope, but I will reiterate that, as someone who is not in the development and construction trade, I found this 11r~' Hour aciclition to our list of hurdles burdensome. It is in fact the role of City Planning staff to raise potential issues during this process and, by their own ad~~rission, they failed to do so in this case. Lastly, I would like to mention that our plans for this structure are to rebuild and re=purpose this facility in order to bring it back into the community as a public resource. It was br.rilt for a public purpose and that purpose will be updated in its new form. As mentioned, we hope to make this facilifiy both fully accessible and the first zero-carbon performance hall in the United States. This effort is consistent with Land Use code section 9-11-23(f}(3) given the existing condition of the structure and is consistent with the overarching goals of the City Council that include economic vitality, environmental stewardship and energy efficiency. Those goals would be next to impossible if we are not able to replace the non- original entrance with one that would be at-grade, well insulated and one that would introduce considerably more natural light. F~~r~~ ~ , ww~.v.etown.orq - ~ ~ . t;'l :fir;%%~. e RESPONSE TO CRITERIA HISTORICAL SIGNIFI~~F~.NCC: Date of Construction ~Nhile the building was constructed in 1925, our records indicate that it was largely de-constructed in 1943/44 and subsequently added to in the 50's and GO's. In other words, there is very little correlation between tl~e current presentation to tl~e street and the original structure -not the facade, doors, windows, roof structure, entry or even the stone exterior. All of that bears little or no resemblance to the original structure r~uilt in 1925. l-he first structure was built in the Neo-Romanesque/rustic style, with exposed stone facade, steep roof gables and a bell tower. That structure w<~s drastically altered in 1943 and 1944 when the original roof, bell tower, windows and entrance were removed. The roof was replaced with a manufactured steel truss system. The exterior stone walls were covered with stucco and stone stairs and cement block entry vestibule were added to the front. In subsequent years, an exterior exit was enclosed, a gymnasium built and three floors of offices were constructed, all out of cement block with minimal exterior detail. Association with Historical Persons or Events We are unaware of any significant events of Historical ir~por~t that took place on this site. As demonstrated in our historical summary (ATTACHED), it was built by the First Church of the Nazarene. That congregation was never larger than 200, according to our research. As that congregation thinned, they merged with another Nazarene congregation and sold the building to a series of other owners. The mist consistent recent ~_isF: of the facility was as a drug testing laboratory. Distinction in the Development of the Community of Boulder We are unaware of any significant role that this structure played in tl~e early development of Boulder. Obviously, any congregation is made up of a variety of individuals, some of whom may have played ir~npor~tant roles in the development of Boulder, but we are unaware of any s~erific examples that connect this building to any such activities. Recognition by Authorities There is currently no specific recognition of this structure by any of the aforementioned mentioned groups. There has in fact been no mention of the potential interest in the Landmarking of this structure at all until very recently. The it x~ www.etown.orq - , - ~ fir ilr%li~ e I, ~di c,. ccno b~iilding was included in two "windshield" surveys that included it in a long list of structure that could be considered "contributing" to the characteristics of the neighborhood. Those surveys, however, did not include specific analysis of the I~istory and subsequent non-historic additions and alterations to the site and to the building. This structure has been poorly maintained and under-occupied for many years. Because we are preserving roughly 98% of the structure, we have broad support frorn the Whittier Neighborhood for our proposed changes. ARCHITC:CTURAI_ SIGNIFICANCE Recognized Period/Style C3ecause the building was altered dramatically, the core structure represents no particular architectural style. The additions, made out of cement block with r~netal windows, have even less architectural or cultural significance. Architect or Builder of Prominence Tl~e structure was built by the congregation, and, as mentioned above, was dramatically altered many years ago. We believe that the architect was Mead Walters. l he Carpenter of record was a Mr. l ongweddle Artistic Merit This structure demonstrates no particular artistic vision because all of the changes were made to accommodate ~>ractical needs rather than the execution of a higher creative purpose. There is neither a "skillful integration of design, rliaterial, and color which is of excellent visual quality" nor a demonstration of "superior craftsmanship" present in this building. Example of the Uncommon Again, the changes made to the structure were neither innovative nor representative of excellent craftsmansl~ip. Indigenous Qualities Because there is no overall architectural style inherent in this structure, there is no way to suggest that the structure is in any way representative of Boulder's pastor present other than to use it as an example of how different owners solve practical problems through contemporary construction practices. :;?i1 www.etown.orq J~~r~+~, e t t. ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNII=ICANCE The place should enhance tine variety, interest, and sense of identity of the cor~~munity by the protection of the unique natural and man-made environment. Site Characteristics Because the original rectory, the residence that used to exist just west of the existing structure, and tl~e adjacent parking lot were both redeveloped into a mixed use facility, the site has practically no landscaping and very little side, front or- rear- yard. The building is built to the lot line on two sides and encroaches into setbacks on the other two. As a result, the site itself has very little natural environment to either protect or enhance_ We will, of course, improve what is there and plant trees and landscape in a way that is consistent with the neighborhood. Compatibility with Site The existing structure is going to remain intact, with the only demolition applying to the non-original entry vestibule and stairs which represent roughly 2% of the total square footage. Geographic Importance The building is familiar to anyone who walks or drives through the neighborhood. However, the various additions and changes made to the structure over the years I~ave lessened its historical significance and diminished its "permanent presence", unlike the ArnE:tt Fullers house, for example. Because we are not planning to demolish the k:~uilding, we expect that the transition from its current state to the refurbished st<~te will be r-nir~ir~nally impactful on those who are familiar with the structure. Environmental Appropriateness The block as been largely redeveloped, and is no longer of one particular flavor, style or period. Similarly, the block across the street has also undergone significant redevelopment and is now a mix of office, residential, historic and contemporary structures. Area Integrity Again, the area has undergone considerable change and is no longer of any particular style or period. This is a transitional block, one that is a gateway to downtown in one direction and the r~nore residential Whittier neighborhood in the other direction. Since we are not proposing demolition of the building but of a small, non-original entry vestibule and stairs, we believe that we will in fact be 3`1~y`{rJFr ~-_ic~.;i ~~0~41'~ ._K Jam.. ~"i~-'.;_. www.etown.orq V e .'~ti, ~d. a s. (ono preserving the structure and, more importantly, the community function that building once had and has not in fact had for decades. Other, if applicable T. We have no intention of demolishing the building, and only wish to demolish a small entry vestibule that literally precludes us from accomplishing our goals arld ccrnp(ying with the requirements of our Use Review Approval. 2. Et is critically important that we make this building not only energy efficient but an example of the very best practices in urban redevelopment. We hope to make this hodgepodge of poorly maintained structures and materials a unified building thafi represents the community's values and serves the community's needs. 3. A condition of our Use Review approval was that we make the entry ADA accessible with an at-grade entrance. Because we do not own the land on either side of the structure, compliance with that mandate necessitates the removal of the existing stairs and the redevelopment of the entry vestibule in order to accommodate an elevator that can service three different floor levels. 4. White this will be costly, the new entry vestibule also represents an opportunity for us to enhance the energy efficiency of the building be capturing solar energy through our sor_rth facing windows. 5. Again, the building is built to the lot lines, and there is r~o other reasonable solution to this mandated retrofit other than to insist that wheelchair-bound patrons go through the alley to the back of the structure which would be both awkward and potentially hazardous. 6. After a fihorough energy analysis of the structure, we discovered that the reconstituted entry, facing south, could in fact generate as much as 28% of the building's overall heating needs, making the newer entrance not only necessary for our compliance with City regulations, but necessary for us to make tine building the first carbon neutral performance I~all in tl~e country. Our fear is tflat, if Landmarked, we would nat be able to accomplish those goals without undue hardship. It is our strong feeling that this demolition permit should be issued because No significant impact or potential detriment to historic resources of the city would ensue. It is also our strong feeling that or_rr overall goals for this project, which include the higher goals of the Boulder City Council (econor~ric vitality, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, arts and c~rltural) would in fact be compromised by the Landmarking of this structur-e and would therefore represent an unwelcome hardship, botf-r economically and in terms of our ability to repurpose an existing, underperforming building into a state of the art green building, the first of its kind in the nation, a building that would in fact represer~t the best of Boulder for generations to come. JIM LOGAN ARCHITECT S January 22, 2009 To: Nick Forster, Etown From: Jim Logan, Jim Logan Architects Re: Energy benefits of Proposed Entry, Etown Hal! 1535 Spruce Street am writing to express my support for the proposed entry at 1535 Spruce Street. Working in partnership with Etown and Wolff-Lyon Architects, our goal has been to design a building that contributes at a local and global level. Locally, the proposed entry allows the building to meet ADA and contributes to the fabric of Spruce Street. From a Global perspective the proposed entry design is a significant piece of our goal of a carbon neutral renovation. The design team strongly feels our responsibility to people who will never see the building, but may feel the effects of its energy use. Energy modeling by our office and PCD engineering shows the building to be heating dominated, which can be significantly offset by passive solar heating at the entry. The carbon impact of this proposal is clear: Modeled without passive solar entry: 34,000 lbs. C02/year Modeled with passive solar entry: ~-10,000 lbs. C02/year Removal of the passive solar component at the proposed entry will contribute 44,000 additional pounds of C02 into the atmosphere every year, and make it difficult for the project to meet its sustainable goals. It is clear to our office that the existing entryway cannot be retrofitted to be passive solar in a meaningful way. welcome any questions you might have about the project, I am available to meet or speak over the phone.
