Hi
Great beginning for a blog on real estate and zoning issues in Denver.

Please send an email if you have recently received a denial from the zoning department based on a non-existent section or non published interpretation of the zoning code.

Thanks

Comment on Springtime in the Rockies… NOT my favorite time of year by James Lupori

Jennifer - You should try the “usual” springtime weather here in the Pacific NW. We have a local atmospheric scientist who claims that summer doesn’t officially arrive until July 12th. I think he’s correct. I always discourage my friends and family from visiting during May & June because they can be cruel months: weather in the 50’s and rainy. When the rest of the country is enjoying outdoor bar-be-que, we’re huddled in our houses hoping that, someday, the sun will shine!

Good afternoon

The interesting name of a site - neighborhoodsundressed.com, how you managed to get such interesting domain name?

Very interesting site though there is no couple of categories.

But the category “Denver Demographics - How Safe is the Neighborhood? etc.” here is very good.

I spent 7 hours searching in the network, until find your forum! I think, I shall stay here for a long time!

Comment on Northwest Denver Downzoned! How do I feel about it? by Ava

Ava — Thu, 01 May 2008 03:16:02 +0000

You can say that “life goes on”, but are you having to be saddled with a major financial hit? What about dealing with the zoning that you agreed to when you moved in to the area? I realize that some of the building can be out of character, but lets deal with things in a better way. The way this situation was handled was very ugly. Denver is aiding in pitting neighbor against neighbor. The major proponent of the downzoning, Jude Aeillo (I think it’s spelled?) has by far an uglier building than would be built they like to call “McMansion.” Nobody brought it up in the TEN HOUR council meeting. Why, when the building is new is it a “McMansion” but when it’s old and HUGE and ugly and blocks the sun of the neighbor’s it’s just… well whatever? It’s fine if I have mine… too late, you can’t have yours.

Clearly there was favoritism shown to the proponents when $40,000 worth of fees were waived. So guess who gets to pay for the manpower it took to work this thing out? US. Clearly the proponents had direct access to city council members in order to influence them. The fees are there for a reason… so people can’t just change zoning on a whim. Get ready… it’s comin’ to your neck of the woods. Denver doesn’t care about both sides of the story. Just those who use the “we need to save our history” argument to further their own selfish causes.

Trust me. It’s selfish. People who want to accomplish things for the greater good aren’t mean about it. These people were mean about it.
