7A - Handouts - Consideration of initiating local landmark designation of 607 Forest Ave (HIS2008-00234 _ ~ ~7 ~ Meschuk, Chris From: Tim Plass [tim.plass@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2009 11:45 AM To: Meschuk, Chris Subject: Fwd: 607 Forest Avenue Attachments: 607 Forest 1944.pdf; ATT00001.htm; Brownlee Guyer.pdf; ATT00002.htm; 607 Forest WorkShop.pdf; ATT00003.htm Begin forwarded message: From: "Bev Potter" <bashaCa~frii.com> Date: March 29, 2009 8:59:27 PM MDT To: "Tim Plass" <tim.piass(a~gmail.com>, <liz bouldergarden.net>, <lomay~nilenet.com>, <IpodmaierskvCo comcast.net>, <spitzer(a.aya.yale.edu> Subject: 607 Forest Avenue Landmarks Board members: I am sending along a photograph of 607 Forest taken in 1944. I believe this photo will confirm that the original portion of the house still exists to this day. Yes, nevv siding has been added and the windows were upgraded to double-pane. But, the window openings are the same and the original clapboard siding may well be underneath the vinyl siding. I do NOT agree with the city staffs position that this house has seen major modifications! It is true that there have been additions to this house (rear addition, garages and car-port) but, in truth, nothing has been lost! I would like to see this original portion of the 1944 house preserved as well as the workshop located at the northeast corner of the property (I've attached a photo of the workshop too). The workshop was brought down, by Brownlee Guyer, from an unknown mining town. He dismantled it, numbered the pieces and reb;,;=t it this p~operty. Talk about preservation! I do not object to development of the property. But, this 1944 house CAN be preserved and still allow for a substantial addition which would bring this home into the 21st century. I have also attached a copy of the newspaper clippings and photographs that I provided to city staff regarding Brownlee Guyer's contributions to Boulder and Boulder County. This same material is part of your packet but, this file provides a more legible copy. Thank you, Bev Potter 3201 11th Street i Bonnell, Juliet From: Meschuk, Chris Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 4:35 PM To: Ipab Cc: John Goodson Subject: FW: 607 Forest Ave landmark designation From: Ellen Dustman Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 11;33 AM To: Meschuk, Chris Subject: 607 Forest Ave landmark designation We live a block away from the above mentioned property and have lived in the neighborhood for nearly 20 years. If a landmark designation is what it takes to stop another tear down to replaced by yet another super-sized house, I would support the designation. If in fact the home is "unfit for their family and that of any growing family with children" and is "dangerous", I wonder why they bought it so recently? Their arguments reflect a home purchase that was apparently not well researched or fully inspected. The owners are people who are new to an established neighborhood who apparently have plans to do the same destruction to our used-to-be-homey neighborhood as so many others have.

Bax 791 Boulder, CO 80306 CC: Members of the Landmarks Board RE: April 1, 2009, Landmark Designation hearing on 607 Forest Avenue Dear Members of the Council and Landmazks Board, This is an addendum to attached statement in opposition to landmark designation for this property. I am a close-by neighbor of the property (kitty-comer to the house on Forest Avenue). I agree with the form petition with the exception of the point about Brownlee Guyer not having historical significance locally. I leave that to the persons who have the appropriate criteria and credentials to make that decision. I do, however, oppose landmark designation of the property against the property owner's wishes. Surely they would not have bought this old and modest house had they know this limitation were to occur. If neighbors or others who are requesting this change are sa ardent, perhaps they should have pooled resources and purchased the property for preservation. Occurring at this point strikes me as using the system as a tool to prevent the rightful owners of the properly from legally improving it as they see fit. I believe this is wrong. Sincerely, / ~ Thad Keyes Boulder City Council Pictures on back of page PO Box 791 Boulder CO 80306 CC: Members of the Landmarks Board RE: 607 Forest Avenue, Boulder, CO 80304 City Council: There is an upcoming hearing for the Landmark Designation of the house at 607 Forest Avenue. I am in complete OPPOSITION to this designation based on the points listed below: The home is not located within a defined historic district in the City of Boulder. • "fhe individual landmark status that is being sought by the Landmarks Board is being done so against the wishes of the property's owners-:i process only occurring once in the last 10 years. The owners find that the home in its condition is both unfit for their family and that of any growing family with children. • Boulder City Staff agreed with the position of the property's owners and recommended a demo permit be issued in December 2008 based on this home's inability to meet any of the Landmark Criteria. • The home has "a lack ofarchiteclural details which would indica[e a par~icularstyle" as written by R.L. Simmons and J.E. Broeker in their Historical Survey dated 1995. • Precedence has been set within this neighborhood such that if a home has been significantly modified from its original state, that is considered adequate to negate any historic value of the home and allow demolition to proceed. This home has been modified several times including a 1960's addition which doubled its square footage, the addition of vin 1 siding around the entire house and the replacement of most windows with vin 1 windows. The home is no longer original. • Most neighboring properties to this one have been significantly modified from their original construction- tl~ereby supporting the lack of historical merit to this neighborhood. • Although the previous owner-Brownlee Guyer-was swell-known person within the neighborhood, he was not of historical significance at a local or national level. His accomplishments do not justify historic merit. • The property's owners are a growing family with young children, and for such a family the home is dangerous , o Asbestos in the walls, floors, and ceilings o Lead-based paint o Lead gas piping o Knob-and-tube un-grounded wiring o No insulation in wall cavities-none at all o Cast-iron interior plumbing o Plumbing located on exterior walls ' o Concrete basement stairs which are irregular in height located in middle of den To landmark this home would be to elevate it to the status of historically significant. Very few homes outside of designated historic districts have this distinction-a couple of examples include the Scott Carpenter House and the Newla,rd /~o:GSe. Clearly this home at 607 Forest does not possess either the architectural character or the persons of historical significance that would qualify it for inclusion on such a distinguished list and to include this home would only diminish the relevance of the other-truly noteworthy homes. 1 hope you can understand the opposition the city of Boulder holds against Landmark designation for this home.

Typically, Minimal Traditional houses are one-story with across-gabled or hipped roofs, with minimal to no eaves. They are generally asymmetrical with the front entrance off center. .t . - ~ ~ - _ +~r~ _ 5{ K - . . ~ ~ _1 _-1 = _ - _ - ti - - 'Elie 1Vlinimal Traditional style evolved from the simplified modern interpretation of the many revival styles prevalent during the 1920s. The financial restraints and economic uncertainty of the depression caused a certain conservatism w~iich limited the extent to which the country embraced the new Art Deco, Moderne, and international modem styles, but elements of those styles such as minimal ornamentation were incorporated with revival Colonial and Tudor forms. These factors combined to create a simplified traditional style, or Minimal Traditional, called such for its classic shape and lack of ornamentation, not unlike many vernacular houses from Boulder's early period such as the tandmarked Rut}r Cave Flowers House at 2019 Goss St., below. •S' , i 1r n ~ r y J,tr tl ~ r ,A 'T ! .r. 4~ .

'.~%r. l~,-L. :fin ~i~ In many cases The Minimal Traditional stele's spread was a response to economic associations including the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the National Association of Real-estate Boards, and by manufacturers and developers who promoted and financed the construction of efficient, mass-produced and affordable houses. Marketed as Modern American, Modern English, or Modern Colonial cottages, with the advent of the GI Bill, these small cottages were very popular in the post war period. The Minimal Traditional style was thus at the forefront of evolving modern building methods and is associated with tract housing such as [,evittown in New York (built from 1947 to 1951). However, many Minimal Traditional houses were built before and after the War as infill in established neighborhoods, using plan books. Post War houses for the returning World War II Veterans` family are important because they portray the continuum of development of architectural styles in neighborhoods. In many older neighborhoods, these houses represent the final phase of build out. Minimal Traditional houses contribute to many historic districts around the country and entire neighborhoods of Minimal Traditional houses, such as Levittowns are under consideration for historic district designation.

John and Lisa Goodson have lived at 607 Forest for awhile now. They've recently added to their family with the birth of a new son, now 3 weeks old. That makes four of them! The Goodsons would like to build a new home on their lot to accommodate this growing family. However, upon submitting the necessary paperwork at the City of Boulder, they were blocked by the City Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board (LPAB). Mind you, the Goodsons live in Newlands -far from any designated historic district. That doesn't seem to matter to the LPAB, as they have issued a 180 day stay of demolition, and may, in fact, begin individual landmark proceedings for this house against the wishes of the Goodson family! Once again, the LPAB is stepping far out of line. The house was found by City staff and by the professionals that conducted the original historic property inventory of Boulder's homes to have no redeeming architectural features and, aside from accommodating a family for 30+ years (a local well-known game warden), it doesn't seem to have been associated with anyone of particular importance. John has drafted a letter to the City Council, pleading for rational decisions from them in spite of the LPAB's exerting undue restraints in a situation that appears more related to Land Use (i.e. controlling the ultimate construction of a larger home) than to Historic Preservation. Attached is a letter that John and Lisa have drafted, and BW photos of their home at 607 Forest.

The owners find that the home in its condition is both unfit for their family and that of any growing family with children. • Boulder City Staff agreed with the position of the property's owners and recommended a demo permit be issued in December 2008 based on this home's inability fo meet any of the Landmark Criteria. • 'I he home has "a lack of architectural details which would indicate a particular style" as written by R.L. Simmons and J.E. Broeker in their Historical Survey dated 1995. • Precedence has been set within this neighborhood such that if~a home has been significantly modified from its original state, that is considered adequate to negate any historic value of the home and allow demolition to proceed. This home has been modified several times including a 1960's addition which doubled its square footage, the addition of vinyl siding around the entire house and the replacement of most windows with vin I windows.-~ The hc~mc is no longer original. • Most neighboring properties to this one have been significantly modified from their original construction- thereby supporting the lack of historical merit to this neighborhood. • Although the previous owner-Brownlee Guyer-was swell-known person within the neighborhood, he was not of historical significance at a local or national level. His accomplishments do not justify historic merit. • The property's owners are a growing family with young children, and for such a family the home is dangerous o Asbestos in the walls, floors, and ceilings o Lead-based paint o Lead gas piping o Knob-and-tube un-grounded wiring o No insulation in wall cavities-none at all o Cast-iron interior plumbing o Plumbing located on exter'sar walls o Concrete basement stairs which are irregular in height located in middle of den To landmark this home would be to elevate it to the status of historically significant.
