DU ITEMS

Jan 24, 2004

1) The quarterly ?“Good Neighbors?” Meeting is Jan. 27. ? These meetings open with ten minutes of fine music by DU groups. ? The agenda also includes info on campus projects and programs, student behavior, questions and answers. ? 2) DU is appeali
a city decision that a lighted sign may not be erected on S. University Blvd. to advertise events at the Performing Arts center. ? Andi Malard spoke with near neighbors and the UPCC Board regarding the potential traffic distraction, suggesting the sign
placed on the corner, not mid-block as DU proposes. Mid-block would be unacceptable to UP residents as a safety hazard. ? 3) DU proposes requesting a ?“continuation of nonconforming use?” status for historic Buchtel House, 2100 S. Columbine, to become off
es for DU Conferencing & Events Planning (staff of 6). ? The home is zoned R-1, which does not permit such business office use. ? If converted, DU would begin to renovate the house. ? This plan is under discussion by the near neighbors, who have met with D
repre- sentatives. ? Neil Krauss is DU?’s helpful Neighborhood Liaison person -- 303-871-4365.
