July 13, 2021 <br />Re: 601 McKinley Ave. Louisville CO <br />Attn Louisville Historical Preservation Commission, <br />I have purchased the home located at 601 McKinley and I would like to demo the home. I do <br />not find any portion of the current home useable. <br />I understand that you would like the home to be saved but there are too many discrepancies <br />between what I'm looking for and this home. <br />For starters, the home is not in compliance and is located way too close to the front sidewalk, <br />so close that the sidewalk was engineered around the house. I'd like the house set back to <br />match the neighboring homes to be in compliance with the city's setback standards allowing for <br />a front yard with a picket fence. <br />With respect to the side yard setbacks, the house is almost touching the south edge of the <br />property and does not leave room to move around the home; while the north border is against <br />the driveway leaving no room for growth. The house is basically too wide for the existing lot <br />and is too close to the sidewalk. <br />The home lacks any and all character. It has no front door, no front porch, the windows on the <br />front are above eye level. <br />Believe me, if there was anything about this home I think I could salvage and use I would, but <br />there is nothing. It's basically a dentist office on a street with beautiful old homes. I'd like to <br />design a home for this lot that more matches the neighboring homes. <br />Thank you, <br />Cody Thompson <br />
