Greeley Commission Approves Window Replacement at Veil House on Thirteenth Avenue

The Greeley City Historic Preservation Commission convened on June 16, 2025, to discuss significant alterations to a historic property. The primary focus of the meeting was the proposed replacement of glass in two windows at the rear of the Lehi House, located at 1863 Thirteenth Avenue.

During the public hearing, the commission reviewed the application and the historical context of the property. It was noted that an addition to the house, believed to have been constructed in the 1960s, closely resembles the original structure, although the exact date of the addition remains unverified. The property owner, Bruce Cooper, addressed the commission, confirming that he had no additional information to provide beyond what was already presented.

After closing the public hearing, the commission moved to a vote on the application. A motion was made to approve the request for a certificate of approval based on the findings that the proposed changes met specific criteria outlined in the Greeley Municipal Code. The motion received unanimous support from the commission members, leading to the approval of the glass replacement project.

In addition to the main topic, the meeting included a brief opportunity for commission members to share reports, although no significant new issues were raised during this time. The approval of the window replacement marks a continued effort by the commission to maintain the integrity of Greeley's historic properties while allowing for necessary updates.
