My Westside Neighbors:
I read with interest the notice on the subject and would like to make my opinion known, i do not
know the Wuerkers, but feel I must stand behind them. I plan to attend the meeting but am on jury
duty in Denver and may not be free to attend; hence this written comment..
The addition is in good taste and I feel that it fits into the westside neighborhood_ Three houses and
Magnolia street stand between the Wtterker home and mine at 319 S. Grant_ I understand that a steep
roof is planned for the rwmt portion and this is apparently one of the features in question. May I
Point out that the turret is not two-story, but has a high ceiling above the main floor and is not open
to the second floor area
The recent Westside Architectural "standards" still ring in my can, and it seems that the phiolosophy
of ultimate control is still alive. That program may have been well intended but totally insensitive to
the heart of westside and controlled by a consultant who did not have the necessary knowledge of the
area. I understand that since then there have been some arbitrary marimron roof pitch numbers
discussed, and can only wonder what other poorly founded "standards" have surfaced.
In my opinion the tronet does need at least a 24:12 roof slope to meet the eye as something other than
an outsized bay window. I favor the approval of this request.
Sincerely submitted, r
