[bouldercouncilhotline] HOTLINE: Fwd: Possible involuntary landmarking

Sender: Lewis, Alisa on behalf of Lisa Morzel

Colleagues,


In the spirit of full disclosure regarding the potential landmarking of 747 12th street tonight, I am forwarding this email exchange between myself and one of the property owners, Lisa Johnson. Her email was sent to council after our first reading and she basically asked us why we did not follow suite to George's action and no vote on first reading.  I should also add that I have communicated with Lisa on other matters relating to her home in north Boulder.

Also a group of people working as equals in the same sphere or field.

Hi Lisa

George was just being political on a 8-1 vote. The public hearing will occur for second reading and I assume it will be as now scheduled for March 3. 

When I saw Kurt a few weeks ago, I asked would your family be willing to do an addition on the existing house. I've asked our city attorney if the lot can be subdivided as well.

Thanks so much, Lisa, for getting back to me and for your interest in this situation. I appreciate your having viewed the property. 

Because the proper procedure wasn't followed, does that mean that a public hearing and final vote might/will not happen on March 3?

Thanks again.
Lisa

Hi Lisa

I have been to the property a couple times now and viewed it from the street and from the alley. I do this for all properties that come before us

George did not follow what we are required to do which was to accept the first reading so we could have a second reading so we can hold a public hearing. I appreciate your offering a tour of the interior. I am currently out of town. The hearing will be quasi judicial so I'm not sure what all I can do. I know Erik and Kurt and Krista. 

Thanks
Lisa

Dear Boulder City Council members,

As one of the owners of 747-12th Street, I strongly encourage you--urge, rather--to follow the example of Mr. Karakehian, and visit or drive by the property in question. I hope, prior to the March 3 Council meeting, that you will find time to view for yourselves  the unremarkable architecture and severely deteriorated condition of this proposed historic landmark.

I would be happy to arrange a tour of the interior if you are interested.

Sincerely,

Lisa Johnson
