In late May two old friends from Boulder High School reconnected over lunch.  As someone else who had also grown up here but only recently moved back and purchased a small home on a small lot, Chris Grasso had been experiencing the same frustrations with the Boulder City Council’s proposed FAR ordinances that Tim Rohrer had.  We found common ground in that neither us were ideologically opposed to any regulation on this matter per se, but we both felt that the direction in which Council is moving is both far too extreme for us as ordinary homeowners who simply want to eventually expand our own homes.  So we agreed to organize a grassroots citizens’ group, research our options, and start a website to provide a place for the opposition to these proposals to discuss their failings.

We’re also collecting contact information from those of you who would like to be contacted in the event that a petition drive is needed to remedy the situation should Council pass a poorly thought out and overly restrictive FAR proposal.  Please register for our website and make sure to fill out the Extra Information section of your user profile. That should provide us with the basic information we will need to contact you when and if that time comes.

Thanks very much for your support.  We’re not taking donations, but we could definitely use volunteers.  Most of all, please attend and comment at the upcoming City Council meetings.  And don’t forget you can call and email council members directly.
