WHEREAS, an application for the historic designation of a structure
located on the property located at 9201 W. 44th Avenue in the City was

the application for historic designation; and
WHEREAS, the property owner did not file a written objection to the
application; and

1. The property owner concurs with and is a party to the
application;
2. The property owner will retain the ability to earn a
reasonable return on the property that is the subject of the application;
3. The structure is of particular local historic significance in that

settling the Wheat Ridge/Arvada area and contributed significantly to the

1900s;
