Larsen and Gart appointed to Niwot Design Review Board

The Boulder County Commissioners reappointed Niwot resident Bruce Larsen to the Niwot Design Review Board on Jan. 23. Board members serve three-year terms, and may not serve more than three 3-year terms. Larsen, who serves as a community member, has served as the chair of the board in the past.

Rachel Gart, a real estate agent, was appointed as the Historic Preservation Advisory Board (HPAB) Representative on the Design Review Board. Jason Emery, a surveyor who formerly resided in Niwot, was the last HPAB representative to serve on the Design Review Board.

The Design Review Board makes recommendations with respect to building projects in Old Town Niwot to ensure compatibility with the existing structures in Old Town Niwot. The last meeting of the board took place on May 1, 2023, to consider an application by Bank of Montreal (BMO) to install a sign that varied from the approved color palette for the historic district of Niwot.

Other Design Review Board members include Satir DeMarco, Kathy Koehler and Will Hentschel.
