Boulder Woman Jailed Over Garage Door

New Garage Door Not In Compliance With Historic Regulations

POSTED: 3:53 am MDT April 13, 2006

A Boulder woman was out of jail Thursday, after being locked up over the weekend for installing a new garage door.

The Boulder Daily Camera reported in its Thursday editions that Megan Forbes was arrested and taken to jail on Sunday for failing to show up on a court summons she received for replacing her original garage door with a new one.

The problem, the newspaper reported, was that Forbes' home is in the history Mapleton Hill area and replacing the original garage door on her 106-year-old home required a Landmark Alteration Certificate from the city -- something she didn't obtain.

Forbes was getting ready for church Sunday when a Boulder police officer knocked on her door, arrested her, and took her to jail.

The 26-year-old woman is working with a subcommittee of the city's Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board to bring her garage door into compliance.
