REGULAR BUSINESS
HPB02-11 1119 11th Street Certificate of Appropriateness – Hearn stated that the applicant has submitted the required information for Historic Preservation Board review of the Certificate of Appropriateness application. The application proposes to remove a rear shed addition and construct a two story addition, refurbish the gable in front and repaint the house including the brick. The interior remodel is not a part of this application. The typical Bungalow style architecture is proposed to be restored and maintained as a one and one half story wood and masonry structure with a gently pitched roof, a front roof gable with extended overhang, open porch with battered thick columns. The proposed rear addition along the sides of the house does not detract from the architecture style of the house. The exterior and living conditions of the house will be improved. The remodeling of the house should also consider the blend of new and existing color and materials used.
The Bungalow style house was constructed by a notable Golden contractor Oscar Nolin during 1908. Elmer and Mary Bengson purchased the house in 1909 and lived there for over 30 years. Mr. Bengson, a carpenter and contractor by trade, assisted in several building projects during this time. He was also a city alderman and leader in many community activities.
Lafferty asked for clarification on the proposed patio in the rear with the walkway that is going to the garage and asked if the covered walkway was currently attached. Hearn stated that it is not attached but the applicants wanted to include the request in the proposal for the Board to be aware of.
Case asked if the applicants have discussed changing the colors of the exterior with Hearn. Hearn stated to the applicants that a change of color would be preferred. Case stated that the Board could make a recommendation to the applicants.
Stevens stated that the applicants are preserving the profile from the front of the house which is the side that has the most public exposure.
Hearn stated that the applicants are preserving the integrity of the Bungalow architectural style by cleaning up the gable windows, another gutter on the extending eves and cleaning the heavy columns on the corner of the house.
Case suggested in the motion to clarify that the state tax credit must be applied for prior to any improvements to the property. Hearn stated that he discussed the options and requirements of applying for state tax credit if the applicants chose to apply.

CLG Status presented by Dan Corson, CLG Administrator – Dan Corson, Certified Local Government Coordinator for the Colorado Historical Society, stated that the CLG is a federal program and his role here today is to check the landmark and minutes files to insure that they are available to the public, that staff members give me a tour of your community and on current issues of preservation and to attend a Historic Preservation Board regular meeting in which there is a public hearing.
Corson stated that Colorado leads the nation in historic preservation funding and spending that is primarily due to the State Historical Fund from the gambling money.
