PRELIMINARY/FINAL DESIGN REVIEW – ADDITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS ON COOPERSMITHS, 220 EAST MOUNTAIN AVENUE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Zonta Club of Fort Collins is proposing a “Northern Colorado Women’s Legacy Hall of Fame,” to consist of a wall of photographic images of significant women. While the intent is that the images will remain for some time, the installation is not permanent and is easily removed. The club has received permission from the building owner, Old Town Property; the Landmark Preservation Commission City of Fort Collins Page 2 business owner, Coopersmiths; and the DDA, to install images in the black spandrel glass walls of Coopersmiths. Because the property affects the exterior appearance of a Fort Collins Landmark property, Landmark Preservation Commission approval is also required. APPLICANT: Patti Smith, Zonta Club of Fort Collins 3. PRELIMINARY DESIGN REVIEW - WATER WORKS INTERPRETIVE MUSEUM, 2005 NORTH OVERLAND TRAIL PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Poudre Landmarks Foundation (PLF) is exploring the reuse of the historic Fort Collins Water Works buildings and site as a water interpretive museum, and has received a State Historical Fund grant to assist with developing plans.

Ms. Gensmer seconded. The motion passed 9-0. [Timestamp: 5:34 p.m.] 2. DEMOLITION/ALTERATION REVIEW PROCESS: FINAL HEARING 920 LAPORTE AVENUE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a Final Hearing for a proposed alteration to 920 Laporte Avenue. The Applicant is proposing to remove the existing roof of the residence’s front elevation and add a second story. APPLICANT: Ben Loeffler, Owner Staff Report Mr. Weinberg presented the staff report. He reviewed the options available to the Commission for this item, as stated in the Staff Analysis section of the staff report. Applicant Presentation Dwight Sailer with HighCraft Builders spoke to the Commission on behalf of the Applicant. He stated that he is the contractor for the project, and also worked with the Applicant on the design. He reviewed the design and plans with the Commission. The property owner, Ben Loeffler, addressed the Commission. He mentioned that this process has been long. He noted that the addition was necessary to accommodate his growing family. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion A Member inquired about whether the Applicant had taken advantage of the design assistance recommended during the Demo/Alt Review process. Staff stated that it was offered, but the Applicant used their own plans. Chair Sladek pointed out two places in the staff report where there was a typo that should be fixed to state that a second story would be added. He also commented that the form used for the independent review by Jason Marmor is much more geared toward eligibility for the National Register than it is for local landmark eligibility. He recommended that in the future Staff work with the consultants used for independent review to focus more of the discussion on local eligibility. A Member asked for clarification as to whether the large dormer shown on the front of the building in the altered photos on pages 46 and 47 of the packet would be there, since the drawing on page 57 does not include it. The Applicant said they are including the large dormer. Commission Deliberation Mr. Lingle moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the demolition/alteration of 920 Laporte Avenue on final hearing based on the provisions of Section 14-72 of the Municipal Code. Ms. Zink seconded. Members expressed concerns about setting a precedent in terms of future pop-ups within the historic districts, and asked Staff what could be done to prevent this in the future. Staff explained that a code change could be required, and could be done with sufficient support from Council and the community. Members noted that while they were troubled by this alteration, the Applicant had met all the requirements in the code, so the only option other than approval would be to go to Council with a non-consensual designation, which would be unlikely to pass. Staff stated said the only example of a truly non-consensual designation that actually went against the wishes of the owners would be the Old Post Office. 1.a Packet Pg. 5 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) City of Fort Collins Page 3 Some Members said they didn’t think they had an option in this case, since the Applicant had met the requirements, and they did not have a code-based rationale to deny the request. Mr. Sladek stated he would not support the motion. Members were in agreement that the Demo/Alt Review process needed to be revised, and suggested they add that to the Commission’s work plan. While the Members are sympathetic to the owner’s need for space, they pointed out that the lot was big enough that a better option for expansion could have been reached that would have preserved the front façade, such as a rear addition rather than a pop-up. Motion passed 8-1, with Mr. Sladek dissenting. [Timestamp: 5:59 p.m.] 3. 242 LINDEN STREET - FINAL DESIGN REVIEW; PROPOSED NEW FACADE PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Applicant, Blue Ocean Enterprises, Inc., is seeking a Final Design Review from the Commission regarding their plans to construct a new façade on the building at 242 Linden Street, formerly the Sunset Events Center. APPLICANT: Brandon Grebe, Blue Ocean Enterprises, Inc.; Jeffery Everett, The Architect’s Studio Staff Report Mr. Weinberg presented the staff report. Applicant Presentation Mr. Grebe from Blue Ocean Enterprises, Inc., the property owner, introduced himself and the architect. Mr. Everett with The Architect’s Studio gave a brief presentation. He said that absent any historic evidence, they chose to conduct some selective demolition to see if they could uncover some of the historic fabric of the building. The conclusion of their exploration was that given the lack of historic evidence, they don’t feel the property qualifies for a restoration effort. They believe their design meets the intent of the Old Town Design Standards. The design incorporates elements similar in nature to what is seen in the district, in deference to the character of the other buildings, but with a little more modern representation. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion Members asked whether there were any changes since the Commission last saw the design. The Applicant stated the design has two options, one with awnings and one without, and they would like to have approval for both. The Applicant clarified that the transom windows would still be in place. The Commission had previously discussed the design at a work session and was supportive of both options as long as the transoms were there. Members inquired about signage. The Applicant stated they would expect the tenant would have signage that would conform to the design guidelines, and would likely be vertical with the word “galvanize” in lower case. Chair Sladek asked whether any Members had any concerns about compliance with standards and impact to the district. There were no concerns articulated. Members expressed that the design was complementary to other buildings in the area without mimicking them, and that it fit in well with other nicely rehabbed buildings nearby. Commission Deliberation Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the final design for the proposed new façade at 242 Linden Street, the former Sunset Events Center building, finding that it meets the review criteria under Section 14-48 of the Municipal Code, Approval of Proposed Work. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Mr. Lingle suggested an amendment to the motion referencing both designs, with or without the awnings. Mr. Ernest amended his motion accordingly. 1.a Packet Pg. 6 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) City of Fort Collins Page 4 Mr. Ernest moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission approve the final design for the proposed new façade at 242 Linden Street, the former Sunset Events Center building, finding that either option, with or without the awnings, meet the review criteria under Section 14-48 of the Municipal Code, Approval of Proposed Work. Ms. Gensmer seconded. Motion passed 9-0. [Timestamp: 6:20 p.m.] 4. LANDMARK RESIDENCES ON MOUNTAIN, FINAL RECOMMENDATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for a Final Recommendation to Decision Maker on the Landmark Residences on Mountain Avenue. APPLICANT: Vaught Fry Larson Associates Ms. Dunn recused herself due to a conflict of interest. Staff Report Ms. McWilliams presented the staff report. Applicant Presentation Frank Vaught and Andy Goldman gave the Applicant presentation. Mr. Vaught thanked the Commission for providing clear direction at previous reviews, and stated that there were no major changes since the last time they came before the Commission. Mr. Goldman interjected that they had actually added roof decks that protrude about 10’ in front of the gables. Mr. Vaught pointed out that from a streetscape standpoint the gable is significantly back from the façade of the building. Other changes include using a hip roof on the Shields Street end, and going to a two-story on the east end. The biggest change was the lowering of the two center units from two and a half stories down to two stories. Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion Members asked the Applicant to clarify the setback of the gables. The Applicant stated the gable lines up with the adjacent house to the east. The Applicant also described the rear staggering effect. Members asked whether the front of building was even with the porch or the main body of the building, and the Applicant said it was even with the main body. Members asked whether the plan needed modifications for setbacks. The Applicant explained the setback was contextual with neighborhood. Clark Mapes, City Planner, said Staff views the setback modification as minor, and that this part of Mountain Avenue is not considered a major arterial. A Member noted that no site plan was included in the presentation. He expressed his approval of the design changes with regard to mass, scale and roofline, but said he would like the Planning and Zoning Board to take a close look at the setback, since they will have a site plan to reference and the Commission did not. Another Member felt the fact that the property is on a corner mitigates the impact of the reduced setback. Chair Sladek noted that the Members support the plan provided the Planning and Zoning Board makes their own determination regarding the setback. 1.a Packet Pg. 7 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) City of Fort Collins Page 5 Commission Deliberation Mr. Lingle moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission recommend to the Planning and Zoning Board approval of the final plan for the Landmark Residences on Mountain Avenue as presented to the Landmark Preservation Commission finding that the project design is in substantial compliance with applicable parts of Chapter 14 of the City Code, particularly the review criteria in Section 14-48b which contains in part the Secretary of the Interior Standards and the City’s Land Use Code, principally Section 3.4.7. As part of this recommendation, the Commission asks that the Planning and Zoning Board pay particular attention to the setbacks along Mountain Avenue and make a determination if they find that they are adequately respectful of the adjacent single-family residences along Mountain Avenue. Ms. Tvede seconded. Motion passed 9-0. Ms. Dunn returned to the meeting. [Timestamp: 6:44 p.m.] 5. SIGNAGE COMMEMORATING THE BUTTON HOUSE, 711 REMINGTON STREET PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Button House, located at 711 Remington Street, was demolished in January 2014. As part of the mitigation for the loss of this historic building, the City has committed to recognizing the dwelling in an appropriate manner. APPLICANT: City of Fort Collins Historic Preservation Division Staff Report Ms. McWilliams provided the staff report. Staff is recommending a granite stone paver. Applicant Presentation None Public Input None Commission Questions and Discussion Members asked whether the City would pay for the paver. Staff indicated that was the case, and that the installation would be part of the street maintenance program. Staff also noted that the City would like to have this completed in a timely manner. Members asked about other options considered. Staff explained that pedestals were considered, but they tend to attract vandalism. A plaque on the building is another option, but that becomes problematic to be seen from the public right-of-way. Another option is signage placed on other equipment nearby, such as a Transfort bench, but such equipment can be moved and replaced, so it is less permanent than a paver. Members asked whether this kind of commemoration is common for demolished buildings, and whether this would set a precedent. Staff indicated that this was an unusual case. Members discussed the small Public Service building demolished to accommodate Max. In that case, signage was incorporated into an Art in Public Places installation, which one Member described as an industrial-looking pylon. Staff noted that there was a great deal of community and Council concern over the Button House demolition, resulting in a push for commemoration. Members discussed how they could word a statement on a paver that would explain what happened to the Button House. Members conversed about the difficulty of labeling the style of the house. Members were concerned that a paver would not do justice to the story of the house and what took place with its demolition, and several expressed a preference for a website to discuss the property in more detail. Staff clarified that the neighbors clearly wanted a physical marker. 1.a Packet Pg. 8 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) City of Fort Collins Page 6 Commission Deliberation The Commission decided to form a subcommittee to craft the wording for the paver. Ms. Bzdek, Ms. Gensmer and Ms. Wallace volunteered to serve on the subcommittee. Chair Sladek offered to research the original owners and early period of the building. He asked the subcommittee to notify him when they plan to meet so he could set aside time for the research in advance. He also noted that the City Engineer would have the specifications on the Linden Street pavers and who fabricated them. The Commission would like a proposal from the subcommittee by the next meeting. [Timestamp: 7:18 p.m.] 6. 2015 WORK PLAN DISCUSSION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Discussion and Adoption of the Commission’s 2015 Work Plan Commission Questions and Discussion Chair Sladek asked Staff to update the year throughout the plan, and then led a discussion of the plan based on the applicable Key Strategic Outcomes.  Community & Neighborhood Livability – Members would like to add a review of the Demo/Alt Review process under 1.2. The Commission decided to leave the Loomis Addition item in, since it is not finished.  Recreation & Culture – Under 2.4, Members would like to add development of a signage program for marking landmarks which are still standing. Members also agreed to add an item for looking after resources located in City-owned open spaces, the cemetery and the river corridor.  Economic Health – With regard to the expansion of the Old Town Historic District discussed in 3.8 (Sense of Place), Members discussed conducting community outreach about what Old Town means to people. Staff noted that the Planning Department was looking at updating the Eastside/Westside and Downtown plans. They intend to conduct a good deal of outreach, and there would be potential for overlap of people interested in the same projects. It might be a good idea to consider having a forum or open house before a neighborhood meeting or event and piggyback off of something already established. Members noted that the Historic District isn’t defined by public opinion, but by the history. Others pointed out that public outreach has more to do with gaining public support and buy-in for an expanded district, and taking advantage of an educational opportunity. Members would like advance notice when the Planning Department has meetings or events coming up on these plans.  Environmental Health – No additions.  High-Performing Government – No additions. Commission Deliberation Ms. Bzdek moved that the Landmark Preservation Commission adopt the 2015 Work Plan as discussed at the November 12, 2014 meeting. The Landmark Preservation Commission directs Staff to amend the draft Work Plan according to the discussion. Ms. Tvede seconded. Motion passed 9-0.  OTHER BUSINESS Staff shared that the City Planners for the Eastside/Westside Neighborhood Plan and Design Guidelines asked whether the Commission would like to appoint one member to serve on the interview panel for the selection of the project consultants. The timeline is likely early December, and would probably involve a full day or two half days. Ms. Zink volunteered to serve on the panel. Ms. Dunn asked whether the DDA was coming to the next meeting to speak about the Old Town renovations, kiosk and stage. Staff will ask when they might come. Ms. Bzdek asked a process question about why Chair Sladek voted against the motion for the Laporte property, and inquired whether they were required to have a code-based rationale when 1.a Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) City of Fort Collins Page 7 voting “no”. Chair Sladek felt the proposal violated Section 14-72, Subsection F, which is the section on whether changes to a non-landmarked building would impact its eligibility. Staff clarified that the Demo/Alt Review process is a delay process, not a prohibition process. Based on the code, if the owner has met the specified criteria, but if there were a lot of community concern, the only options are to postpone for more information and ultimately approve it, or apply for non-consensual designation. Chair Sladek pointed out that he knew the motion would pass, but his vote was a protest vote. If the Commission had been leaning toward a denial of the request, they would have had to defend their position with a code-based rationale in the motion. Members expressed frustration with feeling they have to rubber stamp a project they find distasteful. Staff pointed out that they are providing an opportunity for a public hearing. Members suggested making a Design Review a mandatory component of the Demo/Alt Review process.  ADJOURNMENT Chair Sladek adjourned the meeting at 8:08 p.m. Minutes respectfully submitted by Gretchen Schiager 1.a Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: Draft LPC Nov 12 2014 Minutes (2711 : Minutes of November 12, 2014) Agenda Item 2 Item # 2 Page 1 STAFF REPORT December 10, 2014 Landmark Preservation Commission PROJECT NAME PRELIMINARY/FINAL DESIGN REVIEW – ADDITION OF PHOTOGRAPHS ON COOPERSMITHS, 220 EAST MOUNTAIN AVENUE STAFF Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Zonta Club of Fort Collins is proposing a “Northern Colorado Women’s Legacy Hall of Fame,” to consist of a wall of photographic images of significant women. While the intent is that the images will remain for some time, the installation is not permanent and is easily removed. The club has received permission from the building owner, Old Town Property; the business owner, Coopersmiths; and the DDA, to install images in the black spandrel glass walls of Coopersmiths. Because the property affects the exterior appearance of a Fort Collins Landmark property, Landmark Preservation Commission approval is also required.

The site has historic significance as its buildings possess a high level of architectural integrity and the 25.3 acre site continues to maintain its rural setting much as it was at inception. Buildings include the 1882 Water Works Plant, 1883 supervisors cottage, and the associated barn and chicken coop structures. The site was listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties in 1999. Current and Proposed Use The site is currently leased to the Poudre Landmarks Foundation (PLF) to manage the historic property, and to provide educational programs and events to interpret the architectural and cultural heritage of the site, and City of Fort Collins. In recent years this mission has included occasional open houses, school group visits, and several events each year. The PLF hopes to continue its work to preserve and maintain the structures and to enhance visitor experience by providing improved facilities. Proposed improvements include conditioned exhibit space within the Water Works Plant building, a visitor center area, public restrooms and a new parking area to accommodate cars and school busses. Program and Operations Based on their experience at the Avery House in Fort Collins, the PLF is estimating that within 5 years after improvements are complete the facility will garner an increase in both hours of operation and total number of Visitors. The following is a summary of proposed use and operations. Hours of Operations: • Weekly, Year round: • Open 6 to 8 hours, 2 days a week, 52 weeks a year. • Up to 100 visitors per day. School Visits: • Bus loading, unloading and parking Special Events: • 3 to 4 events per year. Up to 300 visitors per event TABLE OF CONTENTS: Preliminary Design COVER PAGE SITE PLAN DESCRIPTIONS SITE PLAN PRELIMINARY INTERPRETIVE PLAN BUILDING FUNCTION AND VICINITY PLAN INTERPRETIVE MUSEUM FLOOR PLAN SHEET 1 SHEET 2 SHEET 3 SHEET 4 SHEET 5 SHEET 6 SHEET 7 SHEET 8 SHEET 9 SHEET 10 FORT COLLINS WATER WORKS INTERPRETIVE MUSEUM POUDRE LANDMARKS FOUNDATION PRELIMINARY DESIGN NOVEMBER 13, 2014 HISTORY COLORADO CHF #2014-M2-012 SHEET 2005 NORTH OVERLAND TRAIL, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO 2 Parking The existing dirt entry drive does not provide opportunity for expanded parking and has little area for comfortable vehicle tuning radius. It also has a rural, historic setting which is important to maintain. Therefore a new access point, located approximately 280 feet north of the existing access, is proposed to serve a new parking area for cars and busses. This parking will serve the center’s routine needs and provide overflow, unimproved, parking for special events. The amount of parking is based on anticipated visitation to the museum and site per the estimates noted above. It is proposed the new drive and parking area design to be rural in character. This would include gravel surface and log or timber wheel stops. The existing entry drive will remain essentially as it is today. Its access will be limited, for maintenance and occasional staff use. Interpretive Signage Signage will be provided along pedestrian pathways leading from the new parking area to the building complex. The triangular number marks indicated on the site plan correspond to the preliminary interpretive plan. (Preliminary Interpretive Plan follows Site Plan). Site Work Summary Pasture The pasture area – north of the building complex and east of the ditch – will continue its agricultural/ grazing use. The new gravel entry drive and parking area will occupy the southern portion of this area, dividing the pasture from the south lawn and building complex. A new fence line will be placed north of the drive and parking area to enclose the grazing area. Access from the pasture to the barn will be maintained. South Lawn The lawn area, north of the existing entry drive will remain essentially as it is today featuring a passive use open lawn between the orchard and the street. Its assumed the septic leach field will be located in this area. The entry drive and portions south will also remain largely as is but will no longer serve as vehicular entry and parking. The overhead utilities are planned to be undergrounded thereby restoring the area to its historic context. The area closer to the building complex lends itself to more active use and is a logical gathering place for groups. Some site amenities and artifact exhibits may be located here. Fencing for safety around the tail race is also recommended.

Numbers on the site plan correspond to locations referred to as “zones” of the property for organizing interpretive signage. Topics are driven primarily by the description in the PLF’s application for the State Historical Fund grant of four “routes” or main themes: Water and Infrastructure (W&I); Architecture and Industry (A&I); Botany (B); Pioneers (P). While this preliminary plan covers all of these themes, we are not recommending separate physical “routes” such that visitors would take one path for Botany, another path for Pioneers, etc. Due to the size of the property, concentration of resources, and the emphasis on interpreting the story of the development and use of the Water Works, we feel it will be more effective to create a flow of all the themes together. It is important to note that some topics discussed in the grant application may be outside the scope of the current funding by the State Historical Fund. The interpretive opportunities of the Botany theme are not developed in depth here, as we believe most of the Botany topics do not fall under the funding requirements of the grant. This preliminary plan proposes 7 exterior interpretive signs and another 3-8 signs inside the building, for a total of 10-15 signs. Zone 1 Sign 1.a Welcome; site map; brief introduction/description of Water Works – community’s need for a more organized water system in response to fires, disease, etc.; invitation to “go back in time” and explore the history of the area. Sign 1.b Life in Ft. Collins in the 1800s – Overland/Cherokee Trail; early settlers; no water supply; fires/disease and the need for a water utility. (P) Zone 2 Sign 2.a Life of the residents on the property – Superintendent living on the property and a rural family’s approach to food; Chicken House and Barn: (Rebuilt in early 1900s from originals). (A&I) and (P) This sign could include discussion of women and consumption in the 1920s as described in the 2005 Budge/Carillo/Dugan report, if desired. Zone 2 (Cont.) Sign 2.b Apple Orchard: History of the ~80-100 year old orchard; varieties common to the late 19th/early 20th century; sketch with labels of variety of each tree. (B) *The existing placards with labels of apple varieties will continue to be used to identify individual trees. Zone 3 Sign 3.a Ditches/canals: Importance of the development of irrigation ditches and canals to address the water needs of a growing community. Explanation of New Mercer Canal and supply ditch/Larimer County No. 2 Canal on property (dug by hand to bring water from the Poudre to the reservoir). (W&I) Depending on placement, this sign could include an illustration and explanation of the former pond and how it contributed to the function of the Water Works operations. Zone 4 Sign 4.a Looking toward the building – explanation with photos of the 3 phases of construction and use: original building: water-driven pump room (1883), 1st addition: boiler room (1894), 2nd addition: filter room (1895); Superintendent’s house was part of the original construction. (W&I) Zone 5 Sign 5.a Near entrance to building: Description of the architectural style/s of the building; use of local sandstone for the foundation. Call out a few details of the building that can be seen, such as “bush hammered” stonework, Tudor-style window crown. (A&I) Section 6 Inside the building, there will be 1-3 signs in each room.

The interior will be adopted to provide visitor’s with interpretation of the water works functions and to house exhibits. Interior work will include • Mechanical heating and cooling systems • Electrical and lighting improvements • Accessible floor or bridge through the excavated pump room Exposed interior masonry walls and wood roof framing should remain exposed as these elements are historically significant and have high interpretation value. This however, will prevent adding ceiling and wall insulation to the building envelope to increase its energy performance. Therefore we are investigating the feasibility of systems to provide energy offsets such as on-site micro-hydroelectric power generation, and high efficiency mechanical equipment. Both could be water based systems (hydroelectric & water based geo thermal heat pumps) which also have high potential for demonstration of water technologies and further interpretive value. Exterior alterations (minor) include: • Modifications to the two entry doors to meet ADA access and building egress code. • Replacing missing elements could include one masonry and one steel chimney, • Construction of a new mechanical room in the location of the missing cold storage room Supervisor’s Cottage Visitor Center This building will be converted from its current residential use to provide public restrooms and visitor center space. The multifunction space may include meeting reception/ classroom uses to accommodate 25 to 30 persons. A small kitchen, not a full service catering kitchen, is planned for the building as well. Exterior alterations (minor) include: • Replacing the west entry door meet ADA access and building egress code. • Window repair and possibility of adding storm panes for increased energy efficiency.

The site has historic signiﬁ cance as its buildings possess a high level of architectural integrity and the 25.3 acre site continues to maintain its rural setting much as it was at inception. Buildings include the 1882 Water Works Plant, 1883 supervisors cottage, and the associated barn and chicken coop structures. The site was listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties in 1999. Current and Proposed Use The site is currently leased to the Poudre Landmarks Foundation (PLF) to manage the historic property, and to provide educational programs and events to interpret the architectural and cultural heritage of the site, and City of Fort Collins. In recent years this mission has included occasional open houses, school group visits, and several events each year. The PLF hopes to continue its work to preserve and maintain the structures and to enhance visitor experience by providing improved facilities. Proposed improvements include conditioned exhibit space within the Water Works Plant building, a visitor center area, public restrooms and a new parking area to accommodate cars and school busses. Program and Operations Based on their experience at the Avery House in Fort Collins, the PLF is estimating that within 5 years after improvements are complete the facility will garner an increase in both hours of operation and total number of Visitors. The following is a summary of proposed use and operations. Hours of Operations: Weekly, Year round: • Open 6 to 8 hours, 2 days a week, 52 weeks a year. • Up to 100 visitors per day.

Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 Water Works Interpretive Plan (Schematic Design) 7 Central theme: For the purposes of this project, funded by the State Historical Fund, the central theme of the Water Works interpretive plan focuses on the history of the property and its buildings, in the context of rural life in the late 19th century: The Water Works and the services it provided played a pivotal role in the development of the Fort Collins area in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Topics are driven primarily by the description in the PLF’s application for the State Historical Fund grant of four “routes” or main themes: • Water and Infrastructure (W&I); • Architecture and Industry (A&I); • Botany (B); • Pioneers (P). Each interpretive sign described below is labeled with one or more of the above designations. For each sign description there are suggested “Potential Visuals” listed in italics – possibilities for photos, artwork and/or graphics to illustrate the sign. Numbers on the site plan correspond to “zones” of the property for organizing interpretive signage. One zone - Zone 3, is divided between two areas on the property, but the two related signs are grouped into that zone because of a similar theme. Zone 1 Zone 1 serves as the welcome and introduction to the property as visitors enter from the parking lot. The in- terpretive signs in Zone 1 set expectations for the visitor experience as well as setting the stage for visitors to “go back in time” to explore the Water Works property in the context of local life in the late 1800s. Sign 1.a -Potential Visuals: Labeled map of the site and its features • Welcome to the Fort Collins Water Works • Overview: Constructed in 1882 and 1883, the Water Works was a crucial component of the growing Fort Collins community. Explore the property, and imagine the lives of the people that lived here in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, working not only to provide for their own basic needs, but to create and maintain a water treatment and distribution system that provided for the needs of the whole community. Sign 1.b (P) -Potential Visuals: Early photos of the Ft. Collins community, of the “bucket brigades” for ﬁ ghting ﬁ res, and/or of a water wagon delivering water. • As Fort Collins grew in the 1870s, there was increased demand for the basic necessities of life – food, water and shelter. Many rural settlers farmed and ranched to feed their families. There was no town water system, and water was accessed primarily from wells, irrigation canals diverting water from the Cache la Poudre river, or it was purchased from a local “water wagon”, at a price of ﬁ ve cents a bucket or twenty- ﬁ ve cents a barrel. • As was the case with many burgeoning towns during this time, the community faced risks associated with development and a growing population. Water-borne diseases such as typhoid fever, dysentery and chol- era were rampant during this time. There was also an ongoing threat of ﬁ re, as most buildings were built of wood, and the only method of ﬁ reﬁ ghting at the time was the “bucket brigade”, which proved increas- ingly ineffective as the town developed with more and larger buildings. After a number of destructive ﬁ res in the early 1880s, one of which caused the deaths of two people, local conversation and debate turned to the need for a municipal water system. • In April 1882 a public vote was held in which citizens approved the development of the town’s ﬁ rst water system. After some debate over plans and yet another vote, the construction of the ﬁ rst Fort Collins Water Works began in late 1882.

Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 Sign 3.a (W&I) -Potential Visuals: Map/sketch of the 2 ditches/canals; possibly showing where the pond was located • The development of irrigation ditches and canals were critical to the establishment of early rural/ agricultural communities. This allowed for the diversion of much-needed water from streams for agricultural and community use. • Two ditches cross the Water Works property. Larimer County Canal #2 was originally known as the Water Works Supply Ditch. It was dug by hand during the 1882-1883 construction of the Water Works, to divert water from the Cache la Poudre River to the reservoir/holding pond that supplied the pump house. The New Mercer Canal was dug years earlier, and runs parallel to the other, but isn’t of historical signiﬁ cance to the Water Works. • A holding pond was developed on the west side of the building, and fed by the canal. This al- lowed for the storage of water, to buffer the effects of seasonal water level ﬂ uctuation, and pro- vided a more consistent source of water to the community. The stone retaining wall, built during the 1894 addition to the building, is still standing. Sign 3.b (W&I) *located on the south end of the building -Potential Visuals: Photos and/or sketches of early drop structure and/or tailrace • Water in the pond west of the building that was not used in the turbines powering the pumps, or sent through the pumps themselves for distribution, was released back into a canal feeding into the Poudre River through a spillway or drop structure that still exists on the south end of the building. This structure, initially built of wood and later updated with concrete, minimized erosion by maintaining a controlled ﬂ ow out of the pond. • The water ﬂ owing from the pond through the drop structure was joined by the water that was dis- charged after use in the turbines. This water exited the pump room through a tunnel that emptied water into a tailrace – a ditch that directed water into the canal that fed the Poudre River. The stone archway at the mouth of the tunnel is visible on the east side of the original pump room building. Zone 4 Zone 4 offers an overview and introduction to the Water Works building, describing the timing and purposes of each of the additions, and drawing visitors inside to dig deeper into the workings of the system. Sign 4.a (W&I) (A&I) -Potential Visuals: If possible, include photos of the building in each phase. If not, photos of original building. • When looking at the Water Works building from this perspective, one can see the “story” of its development as if reading, left to right. The far left building was the original, completed in 1883; this housed the water-driven turbines and pumps that forced water down the pipeline to Fort Col- lins. • The “middle” section of the building was added in 1894, as the original system became outdated and heavily taxed by a growing population. This addition included a boiler and steam pump. • The ﬁ nal addition to the building was the ﬁ lter room, built in 1895 and equipped with ﬁ lters of per- forated metal plates and sand.

Water ﬂ owed through a ﬂ ume from the pond and was carried through the penstock, dropping almost 22 feet down before it reached the forebay, which contained the turbines. The action of the water through the turbines then supplied the power to the pumps. The water that went through the turbines was then discharged through the stone barrel arch that can be seen from the outside on the east side of the building. The water eventually ﬂ owed back into the Poudre River. • The four pumps retrieved water from a separate system – an intake pipe bringing water that had been through a natural ﬁ lter of sand and gravel at the bottom of the holding pond. The water was brought into the pumps and then pumped out to Fort Collins residents through cast iron, wrought iron and wooden pipes. Steam Pump Room Aside from the signs described below, there is designated space in this room for the future development of exhibits such as: Architectural and other artifacts from the excavation of the site Rural life, women and consumption in the 1920s as described in the 2005 Budge/Carillo/Dugan report Sign 6.c (W&I) -Potential Visuals: Sketch/artwork of a view “inside” the room – coal being shoveled into bolier, steam pump • By the early 1890s, the original system in the pump house was aging, and the demand for wa- ter was increasing with the growing population of Fort Collins. In response to public and political pressure to update and improve the system, this room was added in 1894, to house a coal-ﬁ red steam pump. This steam pump made it possible to maintain necessary water pressure in times of low water, and act as a “backup” to the other pumps if needed. The coal that fueled the boiler in this room was delivered by wagon and shoveled through the small window on the east wall. Sign 6.d (W&I) Potential Visuals: Photos of turbine & water-driven pump, and boiler & steam pump systems; possible photo of modern system • This sign is an “aside” from the others describing speciﬁ cs of the Water Works operations them- selves, to add an informative comparison between the water-driven pumps used originally, and the later steam pumps. It includes a description of each type of pump, as well as an explana- tion of how the steam pump was an improvement on the earlier water-driven pump, for example water-powered vs. coal-powered systems. Potential to bring the discussion to today’s water treatment and distribution systems, and how water is pumped throughout Ft. Collins now. Filter Room Aside from the signs described below, there is designated space in this room for the suggested development of an interactive exhibit demonstrating the water ﬁ ltration process. There is also designated space at the north end of the room that can be used for meeting space and/or temporary exhibits. Sign 6.e (W&I) Potential Visuals: Photos of early ﬁ ltration systems • The ﬁ nal addition to the Water Works building, the ﬁ lter room, was added in 1895. Before the ﬁ l- ter room was constructed, ﬁ ltration happened through a layer of sand and gravel in the bottom of the holding pond. However, with the community’s growing demand for water, and seasonal condi- tions during which the ﬁ ltration system could not function properly, it became clear that system no longer had the necessary capacity. In the new ﬁ lter room, water was ﬁ ltered through a layer of sand supported by perforated metal plates, before moving into the pumps to be distributed.

Mountain Ave Fort Collins, CO 80521 Water Works Museum The Water Works building is the primary focus of the property. The interior will be adopted to provide visitor’s with interpretation of the water works functions and to house exhibits. Interior work will include • Mechanical heating and cooling systems • Electrical and lighting improvements • Accessible ﬂ oor or bridge through the excavated pump room Exposed interior masonry walls and wood roof framing should remain exposed as these elements are historically signiﬁ cant and have high interpretation value. This however, will prevent adding ceiling and wall insulation to the building envelope to increase its energy performance. Therefore we are investigating the feasibility of systems to provide energy offsets such as on-site micro-hydroelectric power generation, and high efﬁ ciency mechanical equipment. Both could be water based systems (hydroelectric & water based geo thermal heat pumps) which also have high potential for demonstration of water technologies and further interpretive value. Exterior alterations (minor) include: • Modiﬁ cations to the two entry doors to meet ADA access and building egress code. • Replacing missing elements could include one masonry and one steel chimney, • Construction of a new mechanical room in the location of the missing cold storage room Supervisor’s Cottage Visitor Center This building will be converted from its current residential use to provide public restrooms and visitor center space. The multifunction space may include meeting reception/ classroom uses to accommodate 25 to 30 persons. A small kitchen, not a full service catering kitchen, is planned for the building as well.

The design was conceptually reviewed by the Landmark Preservation Commission at its April 9, 2014 meeting. APPLICANT: Ken and Michelle Christensen OWNER: Ken and Michelle Christensen EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Landblom Property was designated as a Fort Collins Landmark in April 2014, for its significance under Standards 2 and 3 (Important Person(s) and Architecture). The owners would like to expand the residence’s rear addition. Both the April 9, 2014 Conceptual Plans and present Final Plans are attached. Review Criteria: Proposed changes to Fort Collins Landmarks are reviewed by the Landmark Preservation Commission under Section 14-48 of the Municipal Code, “Approval of Proposed Work”: 1) The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; 2) The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the sites, structures and objects in the district; 3) The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; 4) The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; and 5) The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the city and the United States Secretary of the Interior then in effect for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources. The proposed work would fall under the Secretary of the Interior’s Standard’s for Rehabilitation: 1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and environment. 2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be avoided. 4 Packet Pg. 67 Agenda Item 4 Item # 4 Page 2 3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken. 4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved. 5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved. 6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence. 7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be undertaken using the gentlest means possible. 8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken. 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment. 10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its environment would be unimpaired.

The Committee did a preliminary review of this proposal in May. There were some minor changes to the rear elevation to address some engineering concerns, but there is no change to the height or footprint of the design. You may also recall that this home was designated a Historical Landmark in June (Thank you!). The architectural design of the rear addition was done by Per Hogestad, a local architect with a long history of designing additions to historic building and homes in Fort Collins. The exterior design is sympathetic to the existing structure and is composed of features true bungalow style homes of the era. Our home was originally built in 1927. The materials used in the addition are complimentary, but distinctively separate from the existing structure. The windows are in the same style as the existing windows. The roofline does not extend above the existing roofline. The curved roof and exposed beams add a true craftsman/bungalow feel to the design. There are a number of issues with the home that we hope to mitigate with this remodel/addition. Attic wiring, Insulation, wallboard: The attic bedroom ceiling is insulated with 2-3” of insulation (2x4 rafters). We will remove the existing fiberboard/wallboard and existing insulation. While the wiring is exposed, we will replace the existing knob and tube wiring with code-compliant wiring. We intend to insulate with closed-cell foam insulation and cover with dry-wall. The existing windows on the north and south elevations will remain unchanged. HVAC issues: The house is currently heated with steam/radiator heat and no air conditioning. We plan to add a forced air furnace and central air conditioning system for dependable heat and AC for the Attic suite and for the dining and living rooms on the first floor. The window air conditioner on the North side of the attic suite will be removed returning the window to its original state. Basement Steps: The steps to the basement are non-conforming (narrow and steep). We plan to abandon the existing stairs and enclose the existing outside stairs to the basement in a rear addition to the home. Attic Stairs: The existing staircase to the upstairs bedroom is too narrow to add a railing and still be able to move normal items (laundry, boxes, etc.) up and down the staircase. These stairs will also be abandoned and access will be via a new staircase in the rear addition. 4.a Packet Pg. 69 Attachment: Final Review Rear Addition Dec 10 2014 116 Pearl Street Addition (2724 : Conceptual and Final Design Review of Rear Addition, Closet space: We will use some of the existing attic space for closet space. The existing space has 6 linear feet of closet rod which is inadequate for two people. Bathroom: The existing 3 piece bathroom is 4’x8’ which is not up to contemporary standards. The bathroom will be reconfigured to add a second sink, tub, and separate toilet area. We have done a short design review with the Planning and Zoning Department and this preliminary design meets all of the requirements of the recently adopted East Side/West Side building ordinances.

APPLICANT: Jim Cox, Architecture Plus OWNER: 1st Bank of Colorado, Adam Snyder, VP of Facilities EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The bank building at 100 South College Avenue has been found to be eligible for individual designation as a Fort Collins Landmark under Standard 1 (A) for its association with Auto Based Banking; and Standard 3 (C), as an excellent example of mid-century commercial architecture. Plans for alteration of the building were reviewed by the LPC Chair and the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services in October 2014, and were referred to the Landmark Preservation Commission. As provided for in Municipal Code 14-72(c), the applicants are requesting a review of their plans by the Design Review Subcommittee. The Chair and Commission Members have previously established that non-residential projects requesting a Design Review Subcommittee shall be reviewed by all interested members of the Commission, rather than by a two or three member subcommittee of the Commission, as typically occurs with single family residential reviews. At this meeting, the Design Review Subcommittee shall explore with the applicant all means for substantially preserving the eligibility of the structure which would be affected by the requested permit. If the Design Review Subcommittee unanimously agrees on alternative plans acceptable to the applicant, it shall provide the Director with approval of such plans. If the Design Review Subcommittee does not unanimously agree to the plans, then the application shall instead be subject to the standard process for the demolition or alteration of eligible buildings. REVIEW CRITERIA: The review criteria are established in 14-72(d)(1), which states: In making a determination concerning the proposal, the Subcommittee shall consider the following criteria: a. The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; b. The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the landmark or the sites, structures and objects in the district; c. The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, obscuring or destroying the exterior characteristics of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; d.

6 Page 1 STAFF REPORT December 10, 2014 Landmark Preservation Commission PROJECT NAME DESIGN REVIEW SUBCOMMITTEE CONCEPTUAL REVIEW, KAPPA DELTA SORORITY, 412 W LAUREL STREET STAFF Karen McWilliams, Historic Preservation Planner PROJECT INFORMATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is a request for the LPC Design Review Subcommittee to review and comment upon proposed exterior alterations to a property that is individually eligible for Fort Collins Landmark recognition. APPLICANT: Greg D. Fisher, Architect OWNER: Kappa Delta Sorority EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kappa Delta Sorority house at 412 West Laurel Street has been found to be eligible for individual designation as a Fort Collins Landmark under Standard A, for its historic pattern of use as a sorority house associated with CSU; and Standard C, as an excellent unaltered example of mid-century architecture. Plans for alteration of the building were reviewed by the LPC Chair and the Director of Community Development and Neighborhood Services in November 2014, and were referred to the Landmark Preservation Commission. As provided for in Municipal Code 14-72(c), the applicants are requesting a review of their plans by the Design Review Subcommittee. The Chair and Commission Members have previously established that non-residential projects requesting a Design Review Subcommittee shall be reviewed by all interested members of the Commission, rather than by a two or three member subcommittee of the Commission, as typically occurs with single family residential reviews. At this meeting, the Design Review Subcommittee shall explore with the applicant all means for substantially preserving the eligibility of the structure which would be affected by the requested permit. If the Design Review Subcommittee unanimously agrees on alternative plans acceptable to the applicant, it shall provide the Director with approval of such plans. If the Design Review Subcommittee does not unanimously agree to the plans, then the application shall instead be subject to the standard process for the demolition or alteration of eligible buildings. REVIEW CRITERIA: The review criteria are established in 14-72(d)(1), which states: In making a determination concerning the proposal, the Subcommittee shall consider the following criteria: a. The effect of the proposed work upon the general historical and/or architectural character of the landmark or landmark district; b. The architectural style, arrangement, texture and materials of existing and proposed improvements, and their relation to the landmark or the sites, structures and objects in the district; c. The effects of the proposed work in creating, changing, obscuring or destroying the exterior characteristics 6 Packet Pg. 114 Agenda Item 6 Item # 6 Page 2 of the site, structure or object upon which such work is to be done; d. The effect of the proposed work upon the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of the landmark or landmark district; and e. The extent to which the proposed work meets the standards of the City and the United States Secretary of the Interior for the preservation, reconstruction, restoration or rehabilitation of historic resources.

Population growth and the associated disease and ﬁ re risk were once again putting strain on the current system’s capacity. Construction was completed in 1905 of a new, more advanced water treatment system located in Poudre Canyon, upstream of the original. The original Water Works remained in operation until 1916, providing backup for the newer treatment plant.

Sandstone from a nearby quarry was used in the foundation, the Tudor-style window crowns and windowsills of the building. • Looking closely, one will notice designs and modest yet decorative treatments that demonstrate the builders’ pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail, beyond just the creation of a utilitar- ian building. Look for the “bush-hammered” detail adding texture to the stone windowsills, and the “scored” mortar – horizontal lines in the mortar between bricks – as examples of decorative details in the building’s construction. Zone 6 Zone 6 is dedicated to the inside of the three sections of the building, and the details about the actual processes that took place. Pump Room Sign 6.a (W&I) -Potential Visuals: Generalized sketch of the pump room and its components. An additional option is to hang signs directly on the wall to label parts of the system that are visible with the excavation. • The pump room was the original building of the Water Works, constructed in 1883. It housed two turbine water wheels, which powered four piston pumps. • Water from the holding pond west of the building was brought into the pump room and used in one of two ways – to turn the turbines powering the pumps, or to move through the pumps them- selves and be distributed to Fort Collins residents. 8 3.d Packet Pg. 52 Attachment: Waterworks 100 SD_120314 (2712 : Preliminary Design Review - Water Works Interpretive Museum, 2005 North Overland Trail) Zone 2 Zone 2 further introduces visitors to the needs and conditions of life for early settlers like the Water Works superintendent and his family, through the interpretation of the property’s outbuildings and the orchard. Since the construction dates of the outbuildings are not clearly deﬁ ned and agreed upon, it is best to keep a “big picture” interpretation of the general uses of the buildings, rather than focusing on the details of each. Sign 2.a (P) -Potential Visuals: A photo of the original house, if available. • For rural families such as the ones that lived on this property, animals were important as both a food source and for work purposes. The chicken house and the barn were built to enable the families living here to raise and care for the animals they needed. • The superintendent/caretaker and his family lived on the premises, in order to oversee the Water Works system and assure that it was functioning properly. The superintendent’s house was part of the original construction in 1882-1883, but has since undergone additions and renovations. Sign 2.b (P) (B) -Potential Visuals: Photos of apple varieties • The apple orchard was planted and cultivated by early residents of the Water Works property, and is be- lieved to be between 80 and 100 years old. The seven varieties of apples grown here are representative of varieties popular in the late 19th century. One of them, the Esopus Spitzenburg, is said to be Thomas Jefferson’s favorite apple. • More recently, cuttings were taken of the seven remaining original trees, and grafted onto new rootstock to produce another of each variety, which can be seen growing next to the original trees. *The existing placards with labels of apple varieties will continue to be used to identify individual trees. **12/1/14: There is an Eagle Scout working on a project involving identifying the DNA of the apple trees. There should be coordination of this project and its product/s with any other interpretation plan. Zone 3 Zone 3 is meant to provide a spatial context for the building – how the building’s location corresponded to its surroundings - and add the background of where the water came from that the facility processed, and where it went. 3.d Packet Pg. 51 Attachment: Waterworks 100 SD_120314 (2712 : Preliminary Design Review - Water Works Interpretive Museum, 2005 North Overland Trail) CRUSHER FINES PATH, TYP.
