Please don’t demolish this unique building. It’s a landmark to this area and the last thing we need is more townhomes and taxes. The people in my family have seen this for years and no one wants this. Doesn’t the county listen to its citizens?
Ideally, we would like the county to explore any options into reclaiming the property as a county-run public center with a maintenanced landscape leading down into the park to encourage outdoor recreation, or declare that Delwest must incorporate it into their development plans for use as a community amenity. Perl Mack technically belongs to Westminster and Hyland Hills to Federal Heights. Sherrelwood needs it's very own and this is the perfect spot!
The new homes DelWest put in are death traps with severe foundation issues!! Talk to the people who have bought their pieces of crud before approving any more of them in our neighborhood! One of my neighbors is in the process of a legal battle with Delwest. Betcha Fitchett won't tell you that, huh?
There were several companies and individuals interested in purchasing the bubble building with the intention of restoring it but delwest has partnership with the westminster school district which cancelled all other offers. Totally not cool to the residents who pay taxes on this kinda stuff! Any plans to mitigate fugitive dust and debris? Polyurethane foam is very dangerous to seniors, children, and anyone else with sensitive respiratory system. Delwest is putting us all in danger with demo!
This neighborhood does NOT need 47 new units of high density high-rise rental row houses. The project is NOT harmonious or compatible in this area. NO residential 3 story buildings are in Sherrelwood or Perl Mack. No posted signage exists. 219 new town homes being built at 68th and Pecos. 14 traffic lights and 2 interstate on and off ramps on Pecos from 60th to 80th.
There's a change.org petition with over 2,100 signatures from the community asking for this property to be preserved! There are many eyes watching how this case is handled & how Adams County responds to the number of people who don't want this project to move forward. Two other media outlets have asked to speak with us after the decision has been made. Everyone expects AdCo to side with Delwest & allow our beloved building to come down right infront of our eyes. Please, let's prove them wrong!!
There hasn't been much public engagement with previous meetings because no one has faith in the system. While so many are opposed to this project, I've also been told over and over again that "money talks". No one feels like it's worth actively going up against a developer due to the monetary influence between company and County.
Adams County, please don't let Delwest take advantage of your residents by installing housing we don't want and increasing our property taxes which we cannot afford. They're going to walk away from this development counting their profits while we watch our very own local landmark come down in dust, wondering why the County didn't care enough about us to step in on our behalf. :'(
These $400k+ townhomes will be three-stories high! Delwest expects 4-5 people per unit, but are only providing parking for 2. This is going to introduce overflow parking problems in surrounding neighborhoods when these units do fill to capacity or invite visitors over. The imposing townhome structures will also block out the public's view of Sherrelwood Park. They intend to install a barrier wall along the length of the development. Forget public access and say hello to Delwest's private park!
Adams County has done such a good job expanding and developing their public parks and Open Spaces, ie Pelican Ponds, Rotella Park and Twin Lakes to name a few. Sherrelwood Park seems ripe for this sort of treatment, with the addition of utilizing/incorporating this historic building. As a 25 year resident, this area of our neighborhood needs no more cookie cutter dwellings crammed into an area that can't sustain more people.
Let this historical structure remain. It's a part of history and means the world to the people in this town. Destruction of this dome shaped building would be tragic. It has so much potential to be turned into good. Make it an art center or museum. A place where the community can gather and tourist that will come from a far to visit. Preserve it. Let it boost our economic well being. If history is destroyed to throw up cookie cutter homes it goes against what our community believes in.
As a licensed Architect in the State of Colorado and a Sherrelwood resident I strongly support this development. Nostalgia alone should not be used as justification for postponing this development that will improve our neighborhood.
Turn this building into something for the community. I'm against more housing of any form in the area; we're already getting way too crowded. I'm also sick of my property taxes rising due to this.
I’ve lived around this area for many years. This building was always fun to see. It would be better to see it reused. It hasn’t been that long since it was a daycare that i envied kids who got to go to. The area absolutely cannot handle more apartments. It’s a lower income area and ammenities need to be updated not added too. Keep the blob we love the blob! It’s the only thing interesting we have going on.
I’m opposed to the demolition of the iconic round building and placement of townhomes. Our community is already experiencing overcrowding and outrageous housing costs. Doing this with make both issues worse.
This unique historic building is the gateway to Sherrelwood Park. It is part of the Sherrelwood community and would be a great center for the residents. Another use could be a recreation center for everyone. A big advantage to a community center or recreation center is the advantage of the beautiful park. The park and building combined would be a great asset to any community and something much needed in this area.
I encourage the Board to stop Del West from ruining more of our neighborhood. They have filled in open spaces that the community used to enjoy, i.e. Clear Lake, where they insisted the homes would be single-story to fit in; a lie. Now, Del West wants to forever destroy a unique, historic, architectural building that has the potential to uplift and define a part of Adams County in need of a more positive identity, not dense townhomes.
I am new to the area since September 2020. I've got 2 teenage daughters and we love the neighborhood. We enjoy taking walks at Sherrelwood Park. Everytime we see this building we wonder what it's like inside and wish we could see it. We always say how perfect it would be if it were a recreation center or community center. Which is something that is hugely needed in the community. It is a perfect location that is historic and loved by many. Please save this building from unneeded development.
Adams County gave me memories that have lasted throughout my life. While the building may just be another concrete structure to most, for me it was many things. It was a landmark to know I was on my way home and that feeling of familiarity and safety that came with it. It sparked curiosity and wonder as a child at such a unique building. Old doesn’t equal valueless. This still has life left and can be used in so many ways. Please help keep CO unique and special, not full of lifeless cloned boxes

the existing structure has been abandoned and a hazard for quite a while---I also think it is an eyesore---I look forward to its demolition.
