Those of you in smoke impacted homes may find useful information on this Facebook page. Although the page has Louisville in the name, the page owner has indicated that they welcome other Marshall Fire survivors, and that most of the posts are applicable to folks in Superior and Boulder County as well. When joining this group, please answer the joiner questions; they are filtering folks to ensure that only fire survivors are included, and to keep out commercial companies. United Policyholders is hosting a series of information events geared toward those impacted by smoke damage and partial loss.

Louisville build permits The City of Louisville has received its first rebuild permit! Congratulations to Jakob and Maricella Osterman who crossed the Finish Line first. Or, rather, this makes them the first ones off the starting blocks! Building Process Webinar In order to help all of us as we navigate the permitting process, the city is hosting a webinar on this for property owners. This webinar will go through the whole permitting process, including a review of all the things to prepare ahead of time, what to expect as you move through the process, what the inspection cycles will look like, etc. The city will have an in-person meeting tailored to builders and guiding them through the permit process. This meeting will be May 18th, from 12-1pm at City Hall. Be sure to let your builders know about this so that they can plan to have someone there to get the scoop. |

Fire sprinkler code opt-out option for those rebuilding from the fire: After hearing from many residents Trustee Neal Shaw confirmed that the Town is considering an ordinance that would allow an opt-out for fire sprinklers. As proposed, this would only apply to original owners of single-family homes lost in the fire. A vote is expected at the next board meeting on May 9th; only after the ordinance is adopted can single-family homeowners that are rebuilding opt out of the sprinkler requirement. |
