Board members agreed to recognize 1511 Bluebell (Floral Park), 646 Pearl Street (the Arnett Fullen House), 1836 Pearl Street (house relocation/rehabilitation), and 1815 Iris for preservation stewardship; the awards will be presented at a May ceremony that staff said is planned for May 12.

Marcy Gerwing, principal planner, presented year‑to‑date and month‑to‑month statistics and said the program is seeing a notable uptick in applications. \"This year the numbers are a bit higher with 10 demolition applications, 3 state tax credits, and 18 LACs,\" Gerwing said, comparing that to the prior year when earlier months included fewer cases. She also said staff now reviews a greater share of cases at the administrative level: in February 78% of LACs were reviewed by staff rather than the Landmarks Design Review Committee, a change tied to recent LDRC procedural adjustments.

Board members discussed outreach to a newly appointed member (the city council will appoint board and commission members March 20) and floated an optional April 2 dinner/orientation for the new appointee to meet staff and board members. Gerwing said the orientation would be publicly noticed and optional.

The board also heard a short recruitment update, reviewed LDRC timing and changes that took effect earlier in the year, and penciled in presentations for the May awards ceremony. Several board members volunteered to present awards; staff said it will contact recipients to coordinate.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3-12-25 Landmarks Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","At its March 12 meeting the board picked four projects for Preservation Month awards and reviewed staff data showing an increase in demolition and landmark alteration applications this year; staff and members also discussed recruitment and an optional April orientation for a new member.","taxTitle","Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado","taxId",3386,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636443,"Neighbors object to enlarged shed at 2548 Sixth Street; city staff refer construction to Landmarks Design Review Committee",90,306000,396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609891-dd5edf40c9ec2a090d81fced92195dcd&start=306&end=396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609891-dd5edf40c9ec2a090d81fced92195dcd/thumbnail_306000.jpg","/articles/6636443/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/Neighbors-object-to-enlarged-shed-at-2548-Sixth-Street-city-staff-refer-construction-to-Landmarks-Design-Review-Committee","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636443-497454cadc3c808eae44d3ab9de56c9b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771087003&Signature=PASWoAAopZFSvTr5L-99poFLGTLQpT5JNGgVSQakUgCl7-PPoA3StD16kzTLUFdu8XY~YXTbXRbmfUWGyr7L5G3c0N37g5k0MPV6LZCon-dbwjtumERq1OXMhKsT78OGOSFQyHSeYBRBmOdeWbCqUrBKN6SVjN6ldf3tWRC1CS3IsEuhLCPMBwcih2y-J~gmtuV8ojXvfUL1-nJcCgRM3zvEbvYXaOwRd5Pqkac7WPR0VmbVL7iHCRGA5wXzx66zR3FytEIIXBsMVZar9xYf6aAuHGfzyQXM~VVyOaKvWWmJgikIwWFvxiODzn4bVDdyQS1uKbL2fnOjZNYGApVa9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Neighbors raised concerns during the Landmarks Board's open forum March 12 about a recently constructed shed at 2548 Sixth Street that they say was built without proper permits and is substantially larger than the previous structure.

\"The building is 700% larger than it was a tool shed,\" said Scott Kohla, a Concord Avenue neighbor, who told the board the new structure is now \"actually a one room cabin\" and is shading his home office and foyer.

Marcy Gerwing, principal planner in Planning and Development Services, said staff originally publicly noticed a landmark alteration certificate for 2548 Sixth Street but received guidance from the city attorney's office that code‑violation review for an after‑the‑fact demolition should be separated from review of proposed construction. Gerwing said the code compliance matter will be addressed administratively and that the construction of the new shed will be reviewed by the Landmarks Design Review Committee at its March 19 meeting.

Board members and speakers asked for clarity about what relief is available. Neighbors asked for appropriate setbacks and for a shadow‑study to measure loss of sunlight; the transcript contains no record of a formal application decision attached to the shed complaint at the Landmarks Board meeting.

Gerwing told the public that the LDRC meeting will be posted online and that the committee can approve the proposal, request revisions, or refer it to the Landmarks Board for review. The board did not take formal action on the matter during the March 12 meeting.","Neighbors told the Landmarks Board during open forum that a recently built shed at 2548 Sixth Street is much larger than the original and now blocks light; staff said the code‑compliance portion will be handled administratively while the new shed's construction will be reviewed by the Landmarks Design Review Committee on March 19.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6636448,"Boulder Landmarks Board declines landmarking of St. Aidan's; stay of demolition remains until March 19",4961,1115000,6076000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2609891-dd5edf40c9ec2a090d81fced92195dcd&start=1115&end=6076","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2609891-dd5edf40c9ec2a090d81fced92195dcd/thumbnail_1115000.jpg","/articles/6636448/Boulder/Boulder-County/Colorado/Boulder-Landmarks-Board-declines-landmarking-of-St-Aidans-stay-of-demolition-remains-until-March-19","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6636448-90df4754072deffc4cc351ea1fc785b6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771087003&Signature=A0bFT65OZE9EJuogoSxknGu9HvSwu2cDBmrUTZQfEqToyXFNsUo3psw1-wyxzZ8yvzRrkWEWMihP3L~CYNK6GvsOFKibOqHtzEtWpLHrg~vXdggkPbafDtTJeS6GPuWA7r43DF1boECqycq-Sc4zNaD7MTAuvGb9aKlAcpsUKHXhpf6GKfT-K~O-cIX8o1UjrnU1sO63KE0mGg8x-8eF3FOi7OrMLSh9tY~MKkZUZ0iUIvJY6HzaqXh5vIo1V~IA0JRJm0Gai6SSr~8dAiDXX3BDdK55vkRX3UT1bq3gPPpEQY~ERz2G2yiAHaR6OlNJR9fbOoT9VADQExW8rywCgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Boulder Landmarks Board voted unanimously March 12 not to initiate landmark designation for St. Aidan's Episcopal Church at 2425 Colorado Avenue, leaving a stay of demolition in place until the stay expires on March 19.

Staff had recommended against initiating designation over the owner's objection, citing limited staff resources, the applicants' redevelopment timeline and the prospect of future discretionary review that would allow a fuller public process, Marcy Gerwing, principal planner in Planning and Development Services, told the board.

\"Staff recommends that the Landmarks Board not initiate landmark designation for the property at 2425 Colorado Avenue for the following reasons,\" Gerwing said, adding that the applicants had represented the demolition request was exploratory and that preservation might still be achieved during a later redevelopment review.

The public hearing drew church members, preservation advocates and neighborhood residents. Mother Mary Kate Rae Juy, rector of St. Aidan's, said the congregation needs certainty to plan its future and that the building alone should not determine the church's fate.

\"St. Aidan's is important not because of its building, but because of its people,\" Mother Mary Kate said. \"We are asking you for a future and in this instance our future is tied to being allowed to demolish our current building and construct a new one to match our present and future needs.\"

Board members weighed the building's architectural significance against the congregation's financial and programmatic claims. Staff found the mid‑century A‑frame church eligible under the code's criteria but recommended against initiating designation without owner consent and strong community support.

Chelsea Castellano, who said she was moved by the church's case and the volume of supporting letters from parishioners, urged the board to approve the church's demolition request, saying the congregation's ability to continue its ministry should be a central consideration. \"If those with the deepest personal and historical ties to this place believe it is time to reimagine how this property serves their needs, then I want to respect that decision,\" Castellano said.

Acting chair John Decker said the board's role is to balance preservation interests with broader community and property‑rights concerns and noted that any future redevelopment would return to public review.

After deliberation, the board adopted the staff memorandum as its findings and voted to \"not initiate the process for landmark designation,\" a motion seconded and approved in roll call votes with all four members present voting yes. With that decision the existing stay of demolition remains in place until it expires on March 19.

City staff said that if the stay expires, the City Manager will approve the pending demolition application and that the approval will include archival documentation requirements. Gerwing told the board the city already has original building and addition plans and will work with the church to preserve those records in the Carnegie Library for Local History and to collect current photos for archival purposes.

The board's decision does not prohibit future preservation efforts. Gerwing and several board members said a later discretionary review or redevelopment application would allow a more comprehensive look at whether elements of the building could be retained or integrated into new construction.","The Boulder Landmarks Board voted unanimously March 12 not to initiate landmark designation for St. Aidan's Episcopal Church at 2425 Colorado Avenue, leaving a stay of demolition in place until March 19; staff and members debated preservation criteria against the congregation's stated financial needs.","actionData","errors"]
