3. Louis Sitch, d/b/a Marlon Consulting Enterprises, Inc., Case # 08-06
The appellant was seeking a project exemption under his current class E license that would
enable him to perform structural modifications as part of an upcoming tenant finish/remodel
project for Noodles Restaurant. Under City ordinance, the structural modifications included in
this project would require a C1 license.
The appellant was basing his request on his construction experience which he reviewed with
Board Members, as well as the fact that he had taken and passed the City's C1 exam with a 79%.

Abel Ramirez, d/b/a Ramirez Enterprises, LLC, Case #09-06
The appellant asked for approval to build two single family residences that he currently has
under contract in Fort Collins prior to his license being finalized. The appellant obtained a
temporary Class Dl license with the City of Fort Collins which was scheduled to expire in July,
2006. Successful completion of the City's exam was the only item still needed by City staff to
finalize the appellant's D1 license.
The appellant had attempted taking the City exam twice, but failed on both occasions.
According to City ordinance, when an applicant fails a test twice, they are required to wait six
months before taking the exam a third time. Alternatively, an applicant can take a course
covering the applicable building code as approved by the Building Official and/or obtain Board
approval to take the test for a third time without having to wait the prescribed six month period.
Initially, the appellant was seeking an exam waiver from the Board. However, he stated during
the meeting that he was willing to take and pass the City's exam. His main concern was that he
be granted approval to complete the two houses under contract while fulfilling the exam
requirement with the City.
McCoy made a motion authorizing the appellant to complete the two single family construction
projects he has pending. Smilie seconded the motion.
Vote:
Yeas: Little, McCoy, Jones, Smilie, Packard
