Development of a city should focus around its urban core. I am for this, if it allows development in the center of golden. I am not for forcing future housing or development to the edges of the city. This will just make more soulless strip malls like the S golden corridor or home depot region.

This could be used by a disgruntled neighbor to threaten and extort specific behavior upon others in order to gain personal benefit. This is particularly true for people that want to take advantage of older citizens that may be unable to meet that neighbors desires but otherwise present no threat to the city's safety, health and overall appearance. I am personally an example of a victim of
such extortion.

The reason the current ordinance is not enforceable is because when it was approved by Golden City Council, it was only after an extended and, frankly, excruciating struggle. There were ill-informed members of council who believed that historic preservation just took place by magic and a mayor who could not believe that buildings "only" as old as she was could be actually historic. We (My husband, Steve Tarlton, myself and, primarily, Anna Shuck — the drafters of the original document.) tried mightily, but in the end we concluded that getting the local ordinance passed "without teeth" was better than nothing and that it would make it possible down the road for others to get an enforceable version approved. Now is the time.

Historic structures give the community a sense of where and how the city began, and gives a visual perspective of the towns beginnings. This is very hard to do in any other way. Historic structures are a draw for visitors and commerce.

Technical Edit
I don't think the drag and drop is working, I've tried on two different browsers.

Why aren't there currently enforceable ordinances for those who disregard historic preservation? Paying large sums of money isn't enough, there should be legal ramifications, and those developers need a "time out" from working in Golden.

Historic Preservation is important for Golden because it's history is what makes Golden unique. People aren't coming to Golden because they want to see new buildings and North Face/Patagonia shops. History and historic buildings aren't things that can be faked, and while many towns try Golden doesn't have to try. All Golden has to do is preserve those historic structures.
