Goldbranch Granted Exclusive Builder Exemptions in Boulder County, CO
Some say the recession is over, so you may be starting to explore building a new home in Boulder County, Colorado. If this is you, Goldbranch Properties (Goldbranch) would like to remind you of certain exemptions to Boulder County's Land Use and Building Codes that we have been granted. Goldbranch Properties is the developer of the luxury property Goldbranch Estates, Homes of Distinction, in Niwot, Colorado. The exemptions that were granted exclusively to Goldbranch Estates pertain to house size limits and Boulder County's BuildSmart program, which were enacted last year, 2009.
To summarize, Goldbranch is exempt from house size limits for all building permits applied for through August 24, 2015. While all other subdivisions in Boulder County have limits of 9,000 square feet; 6,000 square feet; or smaller (square footage calculation includes portions of basements, garages, and outdoor covered space), you can build a home of any size in Goldbranch, big or small, and there is no requirement to purchase Transfer Development Credits to do so.
In addition, adjustments to the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) index requirements were granted to Goldbranch, allowing residents to implement cost effective energy-saving solutions. This means that homes in Goldbranch are not required to achieve a specific HERS rating, allowing new construction in Goldbranch to make financial sense for the home builder. All homes that currently exist in Goldbranch have been built to exceed energy efficiency measures suggested by the United States Department of Energy, and Goldbranch contains a 13,000 square foot home which produces more energy than it consumes, truly allowing Goldbranch residents to go as green as they desire.
Located in Boulder County, Colorado, in the Town of Niwot, Goldbranch Estates is a luxury residential development. Boasting artistic infrastructure, cutting edge electronics security, and magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains, Goldbranch Estates offers a limited number of home sites available in an enclave-like setting. The project, which consists of Goldbranch Village, ten stunning, top-of-the-line home sites, and Goldbranch Estates, seven oversized, spectacular parcels, is unlike anything found in the Boulder area as it uniquely combines all elements of fine living into one complete package.
