GREENWOOD VILLAGE — Greenwood Village officials unanimously denied a zoning variance Thursday night requested by a couple who wanted to move a barn — in danger of demolition — to their property.
Marilyn and Richard Fay, who live on Meadowview Lane, requested the variance from the Board of Adjustments and Appeals to allow the structure on their land.
“The barn gets turned into splinters,” Marilyn Fay said. “It’s pathetic.”
The clock on the barn’s fate began ticking when George Andrew Bjurman sold the land it sits on for $1.2 million. The new owner plans to raze the structure and build a home.
The Fays said the barn, which was probably built between 1910 and 1920, is a neighborhood icon. Marilyn Fay said they will look into whether they can appeal the board’s decision, but there isn’t much time left. The barn is set to be destroyed in March. Tom McGhee, The Denver Post
